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've been waiting for Ads for Bits for years. They said it was going to roll out to the rest of the world, but aside from rumours of people using VPNs I've not seen it outside the US. I kinda feel like they lied to us with that one...
I also heard rumours that (it works / used to work) on Android / iOS and was stopped by GDPR, but I've literally never found a way to earn bits without paying. Which is especially annoying knowing that others get them for free.

You are telling me it has been broken and not working since 2017? It either needs fixed or the option needs removed from the bits panel.

Or make it so we can watch Ads for Bits on mobile. Why dont we work at that first or do ppl not watch Twitch on mobile?

If people in the US can watch ads for bits why can people in the Eu not?
Let people in the Eu watch bits.
Give out more bits to more people.

I haven't had a ad for bits over a year and a half. I haven't had any bits since the early part of the year 2019. I recently realized it was because I lived in a region where I can't have ads for bits. Thousands of others are having the same issue. I cannot afford to pay for bits. Please increase the regions! Thank you!

Basically I've been having this problem with watching ads since the button was grayed out recently. I don't get how that is possible.

I have the same problem, I looked through the comments of this strain and I first said "Oh no mobile? ok let me get my laptop" After trying for about a week I have not seen or been able to get ANY ads.
I have no problem with watching ads at all, I want to get bits and of it's by watching ads so be it.I really want to support my streamer by cheering but I have 2 bits and the min I can cheer for some is 10. Please fix this issue, LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY BY WATCHING ADS.

Since bits for ads is only for North America, it is unfair for other parts of the world so I want twitch to add this feature to the rest of the world
