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.

I could watch ads until about 3 months ago, then I get the "Try again Later" message and about the same time the AutoComplete stopped working (Like when you type @ then the first letters of the name, it used to list all the people in chat, and if there was allot in chat, then further clarification was required, but then it stopped working so know I have to type the full name to whisper the person

I would love to see ads for bits global. I would also love to see it available on mobile!

so....when will that "try again later" thing go away? I don't ever have an opportunity to watch ads for bits these days. and before it was the same liftmaster garage door opener thing for 3 months, nothing else. 13 times. no I don't have any ad blockers running. I use edge just for twitch, so my ad blocks go away unlike with chrome. so yeah feedback on why this function doesn't actually function would be appreciated.

I've been trying this for months. Not a single time, day or night, Chrome or Firefox, have I been able to earn a single bit.

Hi fellow twitch enjoyed it. I have an idea what everyone would find PogChamp. Bits from ads worldwide. Now it is only in US in a test phase and that already takes a long time. What are the benefits that are becoming available worldwide? Viewer is happy with ads because they can get bits and then that streamer is also happy with the bits that gets. Twitch also happy with the money they earn from the ads. So everyone is happy.

I saw a post from a year ago and thought it would be a good idea for unlimited ads since we are willing to watch the ads. That or we should be able to watch more than 5 ads (usually how much I am able to watch) because I want to support my streamer but I don't have money and the ads are my only way of getting bits and when I can only watch a few ads it makes it very hard to get a good sized donation.

I love this idea too. Since we are watching Ads to support Twitch and our Streamer, it would be nice to get back a little reward even if it means a few bits per Ad which adds up over time.

Hopefully they fix the ads for bits in the US. I have watched about 10 ads and it says something has gone wrong every time... the system is busted...

my option to watch ads for bits has not been available for months now, my idea is to advertise this not only so that people can watch more ads but for us to have more bits to drop in a stream :) thank you for reading

I wanted to leave feedback somehow and this is the only spot I could find to do it. Just wanted to say your gaining bits by watching ads idea is awesome. Actually, your entire bit system is magical. I really hate using PayPal to donate money to streamers, it's so slow and annoying to have to open another web page just to show some appreciation. Not sure if Amazon had something to do with that process or not, but I LOVE it. I just really wanted to show my appreciation, I really hope other countries will be able to share in the watching ads for bits system soon cause I know a lot of ppl can't part with their own money (or don't have any to part with) but would totally be willing to watch ads and earn bits to give their favorite streamers.

I think this is a brilliant idea! I, personally, live in the UK and only have the ability to buy bits (I believe). But all the accounts I'm subscribed too, live in the US. Unfortunately, not having the funds to support people, I cannot afford to do what I want to do. Bits through ads coming to other countries would not only be beneficial to subscribers, but to streamer themselves because I know a lot of the more popular streamers I watch, have people from around the world wanting to support their dream jobs, but are in the same boat as myself and not having funds to do so. This is an amazing venue to everyone, more ads=more revenue and better things will come of it. I don't think anything will come about it though..

On pic they have it so they can earn bits by watching ads but mobile user like me cannot do that and I don't want to pay so I can donate bits so I feel like it would be more fair if you would add that feature to the app

In the US, you can get bits to create ads. I would like to see if it is possible in every country. Because of course, we get something from ads. Twitch is happy to see more ads. Viewers happy with bits. Streamers happy with the bits they get.
I want to hear your FeedBack
