I came here with this exact idea. As a non streamer I can say that discoverability has taken a nose dive for me. I'm not going to watch 5 ads just to check out someone new. It's an instant c'ya.
This should be extremely easy to fix. Ask the minutes watched API if this is a discovery session (some mix of a new game, new streamer for the user) and if it's deemed a discovery session postpone the ads by 15min.
