1. Give viewers the option of when to view ads

   To prevent viewers being in a situation where they miss live stream content, give users an option to "View ads now instead of on the regular timer schedule", which would then reset the timer. Yes you have to view more ads, but you then are guaranteed ad-free content for the next X amount of time (whatever the current timer is set at for running ads).

   i.e. Watching a speedrun, on PB pace, 20 minutes left in the stream, but there's an ad in 15 min. I really don't want to miss the end! I'll just play an ad now, deal with it, and then I'll have guaranteed ad-free viewing the rest of this PB run!

   Putting this in the hands of viewers empowers them to have control over the ad experience and then they won't miss the great live content moments they know are coming!

2. Use machine learning to create smart ads

   I would love it if you used machine learning to know when streamers are idle* in certain games, to trigger an ad.

   games like - fortnite, cod, apex legends, valorant, dead by daylight all have waiting rooms/lobbies, so if you detect that a streamer is in a lobby, you can trigger the ad using machine learning, so that another ad wont play for 20 minutes or so the average time the game plays ( i know different games have different common load times.

   this i think would be one of the easiest and smartest ways to introduce more people to use ads, without missing core game content, and also understand that not every game has lobbies,
   tho some of these games also have api access to make this process even easier.

3. Watch ad-free with bits

   I don't Twitch a lot, maybe once a week on a weekend when I want to relax, and when I do, the last thing I want is to be bombarded by advertisements. Currently the only options for an ad-free experience is to commit and subscribe, either to the channel you're watching, with Turbo, or with Twitch Prime. If you're not using Twitch that much it's a big waste of money, and it seems like the whole business idea is to make people forget where their money is going.

   My consumption of Twitch is similar to watching a movie. I want to pay for the movie, not for an entire library of movies I don't care about at that particular moment, and I certainly don't want to commit to a subscription. I'm thinking a solution to this could be like a taximeter kinda thing that would be integrated with Bits, where you tick a box that lets you watch ad-free while gradually taking away Bits every minute. Once you run out of bits or uncheck the box, the ads would start running again.
