Fix the Ads for Bits
I love the idea for supporting streamers with bits but frankly I don't have the money to spend on bits, so that's why I rely on the free bits from ads, but one time after watching an ad it says "Try again later" under the Watch Ad button. At first I thought "Ok. I'll just watch more tomorrow" but it still said "Try again later" and it has been like that for months so I gave up checking at this point. If you could fix this or at least ease on the time you need to wait between ads. Maybe like one or two ads a week and these ads can stack, (for example if I don't watch my two ads for one week I can watch 4 ads next week and if I don't watch those 4 ads, next week I can watch 6 ads, and so on.)
Of course the "two ads per week" is just yet another suggestion, you can tailor it to however you feel fit. I just at least want a way of knowing "Hey! I watched all my ads. I can wait until _______ to watch another one." instead of relying on what feels like random luck to watch another ad.
Hey everyone -
Today we’ve made the decision that we will no longer be offering Ads for Bits. Instead, we will be turning our attention to our newest ad formats like Multiplayer Ads, which allow you to vote in polls and reward Bits to your favorite creators.
The goal for Ads for Bits was to help make cheering available for everyone and we will continue to push forward with that goal, just in different ways.
We appreciate your feedback and interest in Ads for Bits since its initial launch, and hope you will continue to offer suggestions around future ads products.

Until a couple of months ago, I could earn anywhere from 5-75 bits per ad watched while watching ads for bits on my pc. That was cool and allowed me to support my favorite streamers.
Then I installed the twitch app on my ipad. Big mistake. After installing the ipad app I was no longer able to watch ads for bits on my pc.
The 'watch ad' button is now permanently grayed-out when I try to watch ads for bits on my pc. I am able to watch ads for bits on my ipad but I only get 2 bits, which is not worth the time. I have tried uninstalling the twitch app on my ipad to see if that fixes it. No joy.
2 bits per ad is not worth it, so now I never watch ads and have re-enabled adblock on twitch.tv. I never watch ads on twitch anymore. I don't buy bits anymore either, and instead support my favorite streamers directly.
If this issue were to be fixed and if the amount of bits per ad earned didn't vary by platform, I would watch ads again on twitch and disable adblock on twitch.tv.

I wanted to give feedback for you so here comes the idea.
People sit at your Twitch site every day. Watch a stream for hours.
with no ads. Because those people have adblock. Or something else that they do not get ads. Of course we already have a way that encourages us not to use adblock, namely Bits from short video advertising. Now come with the following idea.
Place an ad under the streamer. https://imgur.com/a/yeSqbL6 For example how I made it here. Making Twitch earn extra money. But how do you ensure that viewers do not turn on adblock? Well by giving their bits when they watch the stream. For example, get 10 bits per hour (can also be more or less). Because when they watch a stream they also see that advertisement. Which allows you to give away bits without your loss. Twitch happy by extra advertising. Viewers happy with bits that they get. Streamers happy with the bits that get a win win win situation we call that.Ps Bits farmers can not be a problem. Set a maximum of the number of bits that can be obtained per week. Then it is solved that way.
I would like to hear from you what you think of it. Greetings Thomas

I am only able to get 5 - 10 bits a week, all other times I am unable to view any ads. Is Canada not considered a desirable market for twitch casters?

Then there's people like me who haven't gotten a chance to watch ads for bits in months.
