As the person SlimMonkey8 raided I agree. I had this happen both directions multiple times this week. This is definitely something that would be helpful.
Raiding into an ad or getting raided just as my ad runs ruins engagement. The viewers just bail if they land on a new channel just to get hit by an ad. Those first minutes with new viewers where we are getting acquainted with the new community suffers greatly when interrupted by an ad. It's n all around feel bad experience.
I am a small streamer and i have had multiple raids land just before my ad break only to then lose the majority of the raiders. Feels bad man.
Like OP said a window of 15-20 minutes of ad protection for the raiders would go a long way. This could also be opt in by a streamer where they can choose to grant X amount of ad protection to raiders.
At the VERY least give us some visibility on the "Raid channel" page into when the streamer's next scheduled ad break is so I can chose to vamp for 5 minutes until the ad is over or pick a different channel.
I really hope this is something we can make happen.
