There are certain ads that are really inappropriate for me or for certain age groups, and if there was a way to click something on the ad screen to make it so specific ads would stop playing for your account would be great.
Like the "The Boys" show commercials for example, that is a show that has very core central content that is very triggering for me and others I know. I don't want to think about that show, I don't want to see ads for that show every time I try to load streams or during ad breaks in those streams, and if I was watching YouTube for example - or even a couple other platforms for video content - I could there is a thing I can click to make it so that a specific ad will stop being shown to me.
Yes, it trains their algorithm to show/not show me specific categories. But while it would be cool for accounts of minors to be able to not be shown ads for more mature audiences or whatever, that seems fine - I would really love to be able to get away from specific ones...

Making it OPTED IN by default instead of opted out is pretty disrespectful to the community on this platform, viewers and streamers alike. All new features should be really well and thoroughly announced to everyone they are available to, and should always be opted out so we can go check out the settings/features and set it up the way we want. But this being opted in specifically is not just inconvenient – it is suspect and unfortunate at the absolute best, giving everyone the utmost grace, but honestly reads as grossly nefarious and disrespectful of all of the userbase.

I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I first made this Uservoice so I'm glad that it wasn't closed so it is still able to be voted for and commented on. I still think that this idea would revolutionize how Twitch works for a LOT of streamers.
There are SO many arguments for multiple or stacking categories.
For stacking categories - things like:
"Retro" -> "EarthBound"
"Games + Demos" -> "Wax Heads Demo"
"Makers + Crafting" -> "Knitting"
"Co-working & Studying" - > "Spirit City: Lofi Sessions"
"Special Events" -> "Award Show" or "Birthday" or "Charity Fundraiser" would all be really cool stackable categories that could be reasonable to create to these ends.
"Resident Evil" -> "Resident Evil 4 Remake"
"Pokémon" -> "Hey You, Pikachu!"
"Pokémon" -> "Pokopia"
"Elder Scrolls" -> "Skyrim"
OR "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" as a main category (a category that has 2.5m followers) and being able to pick "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition (a release that cleaned up some graphics and loading screens which is has its own category that has only 180k followers)"
"Tabletop RPGs" -> "Dungeons & Dragons"
- and then request there are some other stackable categories made that would be their own uservoice notes. It wouldn't need to be every single game but I'd probably make a uservoice suggesting "Mythos RPGs", "Powered By The Apocalypse Games", "Indie RPGs", "Horror RPGs", or and some other broad buckets that are really common.For multiple categories:
"Special Events" + "Words on Stream"
"Special Events" + "King of the Castle""Makers + Crafting" + "Placid Plastic Duck Simulator"
"Science & Technology" + "Talk Shows + Podcasts"
"Tabletop RPGs" + "Talk Shows + Podcasts"
"Spirit City: Lofi Sessions" + "Words on Stream" or "Placid Plastic Duck Simulator"So many people technically qualify for multiple categories at once. But also, it'd be SO much better of not just a streamer experience but a viewer experience if you're looking for "Tales" series games being played in general and you could go to a broad series category and see "Tales of Symphonia" streams in the same place as "Tales of Eternia". Being able to see every Resident Evil rather than checking every single sub category, but also being able to see which one they are playing while checking the broader big category. Like "Oh, I checked all big Resident Evil category and I'm seeing a couple RE2, an RE2Remake, an RE0... oh! Cool, someone is playing Code Veronica right now! Nice!" ya know?
"Looking in Retro... oh man, someone is finally streaming my favorite game from when I was a kid - Tiny Toons: Buster Busts Loose!" rather than sifting through every thumb nail of retro in case they are in Retro to reach more people rather than being in a category only a very small number of people follow or ever check.Plus, so many people will do things like doing a major thing like art or Foods & Beverages or some kind of special event... but also play little chat integrated games at the same time. I think both are equally valid and the people looking for either should be able to find the streams that are doing both.
Thanks to everyone who has voted on this already and shared this already. I appreciate it a bunch.

The number of people whohave said this makes them close Twitch completely or otherwise disengage with the platform/streams, and multiple people mentioned loved ones who have had to stop using the platform all together from triggering ads all the time... it is too big for this to stay in "gathering interest" for yet another year. It has been 3 years since it had its status updated... Twitch, you can do something that makes people come back to the platform and more willing to engage.
