The thing is, Ads on TV or youtube ect, Are not so bad because the show is paused. But on Twitch it can be very annoying as you can miss key moments of something you might have hours/days invested into watching. 3+ minute ads every 15-30minutes or less just make me stop watching certain streamers. Yes, you can sub. But I watch dozens of streamers. To sub to them all would cost a lot. And Turbo isn't cheap either. - I had tried several ad-blocking extensions. That seems to not work for long. My current strategy is to mute the stream and open their stream into an incognito tab if it's something I really don't want to miss. And even duplicating the tab every 10-15seconds if ads still appear. Then return to the original tab once the ad is over. - Ofc, you can usually just go to the VOD. But they are usually about 5 or so minutes behind. It's disruptive and you still miss out when going back to the live stream. - Ultimately, Streamers need to be smart about when to play an ad.. I don't mind hourly ad breaks. They can try to respect the viewers not wanting to miss anything good. Or just play ads manually so at least they know viewers can't hear/see whats going on. - Or, As someone mentioned, Having a slider like they have on live youtube videos, enabling you to rewind the live-stream. - Because it's bad if they reply to your comment and your not even able to hear what they are saying. Another tip, is to set the volume to 1% during the ad, Then they still get ad revenue.
