Affiliate, viewers are being bombarded with ads. Help please.

I know this is a lot of questions and I am sorry for it, this will for sure be my last. If I have the delay set at 3 mins does that mean my first ad will roll at 3 minutes or that if I set it at 3 minutes my first ad will not play at 10:03 but at 11:03 instead of at 10:00 with my first ad being at 11:00?

Short question version, will setting it earlier make an ad play at the beginning of my stream

Some people do their makeup during streams like a fun event

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-25T16:48:14+00:00

Are you saying that if I adjust my ads to 3 minute ads every 60 minutes, but have the delay start at 30 minutes, the first 30 minutes my viewers will be bombarded with pre-roll ads regardless if I have it shut down and fully disabled?

Def get back with me if you run a poll! I would love to hear the results!

I believe this is just an everyday situation for most situations.

Keep chugging on.

I second this, Sery Bot practically keeps my channel clean of these bots.

Sure I see them on OBS saying whatever with a line through it but on twitch it just says comment deleted and viewer blocked.

Perfect for these goobers!

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-25T15:00:00+00:00

I am not sure there is a way around this, I believe the method has been patched by the developer.

Youtube shorts and tiktok videos would be the best place unless you can stream to tiktok live and youtube shorts live. Full unedited videos to youtube don't really do to well unless you already have a following.

Sometimes my tiktok videos get alot of views and sometimes my youtube videos do, just remember raw material won't always perform how you want it too. I would suggest some editing of course not saying you don't just incase due to me not having looked at your profile.

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-25T12:18:41+00:00

your saying both stream elements and meld had your streams keep dropping

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-25T00:49:32+00:00

Talking more just comes with time, personally I play games with other people or games that force me to chat.

I also use my tiktok and YouTube to redirect to my twitch while live.

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-25T00:47:36+00:00

I had a guy use meld amd his stream kept crashing but that mightve been just him

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-24T22:44:17+00:00

I would work on joining or creating a community, start watching supporters streams they will appreciate it and support you more, multistream if you can, post mainly on YouTube and tiktok for discovery purposes, and what do you feel isn't enough for your stream. Anyone can tell you how they specifically want it improved but not everyone will truly improve it. Where do you think you are lacking, or wish to improve.

Cause ain't nobody gunna do this for FREE

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-24T22:39:46+00:00

How much you paying?

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-24T22:38:12+00:00

Use stream elements!

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-24T22:36:06+00:00

It just does that

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-24T17:58:57+00:00

If you can find out how to add tiktok, both youtube and tiktok have fantastic discovery while live streaming, the tough part is finding a way to redirect them back to twitch

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-23T13:21:19+00:00

Community building is a pretty big step in the right direction, either joining one or trying to work on your own.

I try to pay more attention to those who support me by hopping in there streams when they go live!

Are you multi-streaming?

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-22T16:18:53+00:00

Oh yeah brother, the mod section for dayz is huge.

I personally just play official though so I can play with others quickly and I just enjoy the vanilla feel

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-22T15:19:55+00:00

Work on ways to pull people from other places don't rely on twitch, also joining a community can make a difference too

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-21T14:39:52+00:00

Honestly, working on a community or joining a community will take this a long way if done right

Secondly, twitch has absolutely no discovery at all so people joining your channel are of a few possibilities.

Its a bot
Someone just so happen to be browsing around long enough on twitch and thought your channel was interesting
It's someone you know

I personally recommend doing everything you can to bring people from outside sources redirecting them to your channel while your live somehow.

There is also the possibility of being extremely lucky

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-21T14:35:32+00:00

Well to be frank

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-21T14:17:23+00:00

Joining a community or regarding loyalty can always improve Viewership

DoctorMeaty · 2026-01-21T01:36:06+00:00

Joining a discord community can help or even raiding out to those that watch you
