I do not like ads, however I do believe the Ad Incentive Program is a good compromise.
I would wish that Twitch was 1) more transparent what they base your offer on an 2) more flexibility when ads are being played as live content often doesn‘t allow for a scheduled break, without taking away hype moments!
If I was able to have a little bit of wiggle room I‘d be a lot ore inclined to using ads. F.e. if I need to play 3 min of ads an hour, it would be nice to be able to manually move them by maybe a max of 30 min as needed. If I am in the middle of the game, but want to take a break after anyway it would make a whole lot more sense to move my ad break into my break.
And in terms of transparency, it‘s hard to understand what these offers are based on when people similar size get offered 10x the amount. Thanks!

why is this not based on ad density and not manually run ads as well. its a lot easier for me to schedule content around timed ad breaks once an hour and have it be a good positive ad experience than have my content interrupted by ads. i would like them to be on an hourly base with higher density on the hour, but i dont have those options, the 1h format is 60 mins from when i go live not on the hour?

I play ads at the beginning and any brb breaks. I hate this automatic bs! Nobody wants to sit through random 10 ads when conversing with a streamer. I hate it as a viewer and I hate it as a streamer.

Please, I beg you, open the program to affiliates too, please, I want to be able to work and be sure that we will receive a payment at the end of the month, please guys, Please

Hello, this program seems to be really huge. Please open it to a maximum for the affiliated. I can be very usefull.

Hey so I'd like to ask please keep it to 100 or less on the amount of hours streamed for the mental health of your streamers. Every streamer should get a break from streaming. This month I was asked to do 152 hours of streaming that is insane imo. The only reason why last month I even did 192 hours was since I had a lot of events going on. If you keep it above 100+ you will see burnout happen. That would cause streamers who make you money by showing ads in the first place to stop and take a break = to loss in profit for twitch themselves.

I Did receive ADS Incentive Notification, that its available for my channel, and when i go to creator dashboard i cant see it, its not there

Other people have said this, but it would be nice if we could manually run the 3-minute ad per hour to disable pre-rolls. Getting penalized for needing to snooze the ad or run it manually during a break is unfair to affiliates.

PLEASE let us manually choose when to run the 3 minutes of ads rather than using the ads manager tool.

I, for example, play 3 minutes of manual ads whenever I take a break for my back/water/bathroom once every 45-55 minutes but it's always random exactly when I do so.

It would really help to NOT have this incentive linked to the tool.

The program right now is missing the feature to control ads frequency:
I would rather stream 200 hours with 3 min of ads per hour, than 150 hours with 4 minutes of ads per hour so I can consistently cancel preroll ads during all my sessions.

When it was set as 1-2-3 minutes program offer, this was fine because of the anti-preroll incentive, but beyond that it's off-putting.

I didn't reach my quota yet but what happens when you finish your quota but still decides to stream a few more hours? Does ads still play following the accepted program regimen or can the streamer decide the ads schedule from that point on?

This is an amazing program for partners, but what happened with affiliates sucks. We cant control the length of preroll ads after the cooldown is finished and it seems like a ridiculous amount of ads are playing now.
We get like $5 a month from ads so id rather the sub money than the ad revenue, our numbers arent high enough.
Please fix this!

I was just told via email and an alert on twitch.tv that I'm eligible for the 55% split, but when I go to the Ads manager, the option to enable it like the guide says isn't there, and I've had my ads set to 3 min every hour for quite some time.

I am a partner, streaming regularly and didn't get an offer so far. Really upset about that. Don't understand why this is happening. :(

I did the ad incentive for last month but just now while receiving my twitch payout, the ad incentive price was not included

Hello, I'm a partner, I hit the goal and I didn't receive the incentive along with my income this month.

I would like to be part of this program, the only problem is not being able to not being able to run ads manually during break. I hope you can still make this a thing for creators not wanting to use the ad manager

people doesn't like ads much and you are forcing them to watch it, making it 3 mins per 1 hour isn't really preferable, it means every 15 mins there is 1 min ads, we recommend you to reduce the duration, by making it 3 mins per 2 hours or 6 mins per 3 hours.

I am a twitch partner Zee_RP that streams 8+ hours everyday and I am really upset that I did not get an ads incentive offer this month.

Please add Twitch API / EventSub access to information provided by ad manager.

An external application being able to show a countdown with an optional audio cue to a streamer a few minutes before the advertisements are scheduled to start would be a very nice tool for this feature.

It could have a hotkey or streamdeck button to trigger the delay if the streamer is in the heat of a battle inside a game and they want to allow all viewers to watch that critical moment; or conversely if there's a bit of a lull in the current stream they may want to hold off of starting something exciting for a few minutes if an ad is about to begin.

A ideia em si é boa, a plataforma querer facilitar a vida do streamer em questão aos anúncios é sim uma coisa boa, porém eu não falo somente como criador de conteúdo, falo também como viewer.
Passar anúncios periodicamente é de certa forma um problema muito grande, às vezes perdemos algum tipo de informação relevante por conta de um anúncio de 30 segundos, imagina 5 ou 6 anúncios seguidos de 30 segundos cada, é impossível somente ignorá-los e muitas vezes as pessoas reclamam com o streamer que só queria aumentar miseravelmente a sua renda mensal, pois o aumento pelo PIA é ridiculamente baixo com metas altíssimas. Isso afeta não só o criador como principalmente o Viewer.
Os problemas começaram na redução do preço do sub, que a renda que o streamer recebia por cada sub, estou excluindo os subs com Prime, foi diminuída drasticamente, isso fez com que vários criadores que recebiam mensalmente com os subs migrassem seu público ou até mesmo parassem de fazer suas lives. Sei que todos os streamers e viewers concordam comigo, essas coisas são descasos com os usuários no geral de plataforma.
