Give streamers the option for ad-free viewing for moderators
Moderators are a crucial part of keeping streamers, viewers, and the greater twitch community safe. They also help streamers run the show by clipping moments, starting polls or predictions, and using other tools to keep the community engaged. Unfortunately when we request our mods to do something, they can be stuck behind an ad break. For me and a ton of other streamers on the platform, we don't expect our moderators to subscribe and don't force it on them. They already do so much for us. I wanted to propose that we have the option to remove ad breaks from moderators, upon the choice of the streamer. I understand advertisements are essential for keeping Twitch online, so this should only apply to complete ad breaks, but allow moderators to still see banner advertisements. The full advertisement interruption keeps mods from being able to hear when the streamer needs something. They will still have the incentives of subscribing, such as emotes and other external incentives (like Discord roles, etc.).

I would like to add that mods should be able to use the emotes of the channel as well.

I found a possible bug that gets me around this as a mod. I pull up Stream Manager and never get ads. Ofc this doesn't work if they're not an editor.
