Alright, let’s be real here. The only people on Twitch that would use this feature and actually earn a few bits off of it would be large creators. Once again, let’s be real... do these large creators give two hamburger crumbs about bits? No. The only thing that they would care about is actually earning real currency off of ads. And ads don’t give you anything at all really so...

The people that will care about bits and want bits would be people that don’t stream or unpopular streamers. Let’s say you’re a unpopular streamer. How much bits would you get from this? I’d say barley any at all. If anything, it would just make their viewers drop. Especially because their trying to grow, nobody wants to waist their time watching ads so the stream can gain maybe 5 or 10 bits.

instead of adding this feature that nobody asked for or thinks is even good... how about fix your ad system.

What I would like to see is people who hold multiple concurrent subscriptions, say 4 or 5 and up, to be allowed to have a site-wide advertisement-free experience.

Currently Turbo is the only option for an ad-free experience site-wide. Prime used to have it, but it was removed as a benefit for Prime (even though Prime costs more). Personally I find Turbo to be very unappealing for its cost, especially when I already have Prime which comes with most of its other perks.

I'd rather spend that money unlocking emotes in other streamer's channels as I feel it makes me more connected to the community of those streamers. I'm sure others may have similar reasons for getting individual subscriptions over Turbo.

I don't see why people with this many, or even a dozen or more subs, have to endure ads on the site when they provide enough money to Twitch as it is. They shouldn't have to make a choice between subscribing to more channels or getting Turbo, in my opinion. Especially with how little the ad revenue helps channels in comparison.

This would also help with subscription numbers for smaller channels, as people will be more willing to subscribe to multiple channels to unlock an ad-free experience, or be putting the money they would otherwise spend on Turbo towards more subscriptions.

Make it an option to play ads while your stream is static (meaning the streamer is not at the computer) This would be a great way for streamers to remove pre-rolls without sacrificing any content for the viewers watching.

How it would work: Twitch detects a static screen in a channel with the settings enabled. It then sends out a 30 second ad (Configurable by the streamer) The streamer comes back with a happy audience and with pre-rolls disabled for newcomers.

I'm no developer but I'm sure there's a drop in bitrate used whenever the screen is static, there's also no microphone output when the streamer is AFK.

I understand this feature will need a lot of fine-tuning but I think there is a demand for this from creators. I know for a fact streamers care about removing pre-rolls but sometimes it's hard to remember to run them during natural breaks in your stream.

Automating ads is pretty handy but automating non-intrusive ads is a win/win situation for everyone.

The streamer I moderate for has a contract with Twitch where they have to run ads every hour. Sometimes they are busy with the game they are playing. Rather than having to post in chat a bunch to get their attention, it would help if moderators had the ability to start ads. Along with this, the moderators can't tell if the ads are successfully running if they are subbed. We have to constantly pester the streamer to know if they did ads on time. If there was some way for us to know the ads are running it would help both us and the streamer.

currently you have ads playing in the main screen taking over volume as well as preventing people from hearing the stream while you push the stream into a small player above chat without sound. for many games this makes it impossible to keep up with whats going on especially with the random timing you've now introduced into the ad plays now that its out of the control of the streamer.

if you could swap the ad and the mini stream and not force the ads volume to mute the stream the ad could play effortlessly without really bothering anyone especially if the option to mute ads was there. the ad would still be played for all viewers without ruining the viewing experience for the viewers of the stream.

i cant count how many times ive been watching streams lately(especially in among us streams) where the ad randomly pops up in the middle of important talking/action and prevents me from knowing whats going on for 30+ seconds while i come back to a game thats now progressed past my knowledge and have to play guess what to try to figure it out.

Give us the option to completely disable ads by "paying" you for the loss through taking a bit more of the revenue.

In my channel analysis ad income is less than 2% of the overall income, but (especially) pre rolls extremely reduced channel growth - which obviously would have raised my channel income much more than thos 2% for ads.

The numbers may vary from channel to channel, which is the reason to make it optional:
- No money loss for Twitch.
- Every streamer can decide for themselves, which is the best option.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
