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.

Well then *********, Twitch. Those stupid polls doesn't give me bits to use as I see fit, nor can I use bits to tell certain streamers things via text-to-speech bit donation alerts now because of this. I'm DEFINITELY not giving you guys money now.

Nós do Brasil também merecemos ganhar bits assistindo ads também! Temos excelentes streamers e uma comunidade muito vasta e nunca na vida eu consegui assistir um Ad para ganhar bits para doar para meus streamers preferidos ou parceiros de canal. Melhorem isso, por favor.

I haven't been able to watch ads for bits since June 2019. I could log into my wife's account on the same PC using the same browser and get ads, but on my account it always says to try again later.
And no, I wasn't using an ad blocker. Until recently, I never used one because of Twitch and the ability to watch ads to support streamers. I finally just gave up since it wouldn't work anyways.

I disabled any adblocking as soon as i made my account. I am all for supporting streamers. But now your ads tell me i need to remove it completely. Which i have done. Still doesnt work. Are you seriously asking people to go on the internet defenseless from nonsense pop ups? all to get a few pennies worth of bits? Top it all off it STILL doesnt work. Maybe fix that..

This isnt so much an idea as it is a complaint. I have no idea where to send those so this is a last resort. I disabled any adblocking as soon as i made my account. I am all for supporting streamers.

What mc_cookies06 said... I wish they'd either fix it, or add a different way for viewers to increase their bits balance for free.

I thought it was broken for everyone but some people can still watch ads? Fix it, Twitch!

I haven't been able to watch ads for bits in months. I want to support streamers but am unemployed and don't have money. The ads were a great way for me to cheer for people without hurting my wallet. I don't mind if I can only watch a couple a day but not being able to in MONTHS is frustrating.

I haven't been able to watch ads for bits in over a year as well. The confusing part is the fact that sometimes when joining a stream, I will get an ad but I don't have the option to watch one for bits.

Really disappointing that only people in the US can get bits for free.

Their are ads, one of my friends just joined Twitch and is seeing 4 to 5 a day.. Twitch's algorithm in the Twitch app looks at your viewing habits and how often your active and then looks too see if your reliably watching adds everyday.. So they are actually profiling you and then if your not what they want will turn off access to watch ads for bits. Usually when they turn you off they will not turn your account back on. This is done automatically through the app and not by any group or person.
