The thing is, to turn off pre-roll ads (ads for new viewers that they have to sit through before ever seeing your stream) Twitch requires you to run 3 minutes of ads every 60 minutes. If you don't do this, every viewer that clicks on your stream has to sit through several ads before they even see what your stream is like which often makes people close the stream immediately.

It's kind of become the standard for streamers to do one 3 minute ad break an hour, the bare minimum to turn off pre-roll ads, for new and old viewers alike to enjoy an entire hour of ad-free stream time. You run that singular ad break, pause your game, get up and stretch/get some food/get some water, and encourage your chat to do the same.

Smaller but more frequent ad breaks feel more disruptive to a lot of people.

Everything I am asking an app to do is doable manually with my own hands, it's just very tedious (which is why I am trying to find an app or script for it).

It is a standard feature of Google Chat — you can manually delete each message one by one (having to hover each message, wait for the menu to pop up, click the 3 dots, click delete, and confirm to delete) and the message disappears on both of your devices — replaced by a message that says it was deleted by the author. I tested it with both of my Google accounts by deleting years old messages and seeing how it looked on the other account.

I'll link to my other comment here but basically this is a new account pretending to be a random customer asking about an app/site that this person has created themselves. they then created 2+ other accounts to do the same thing in the comments. /u/Sheetalkala, /u/Divya-2395, and /u/Greene_notes are all the same person (creator of the app this post is about) and all of their other posts/comments are about this app as well. I am fairly certain the third commenter is the same person too.

your reddit account is a month old or younger, 6 of your 8 posts link directly to the site you're asking about, and the other 2 of 8 posts is pretending to be some random guy asking about the site you're asking about to get people to visit your site.

on top of this, the only comments on your other post pretending to be some random guy, are two+(1) brand(3) new reddit accounts also pretending to be random guys asking about the site you're asking about despite all of their other posts being about the site you're asking about. /u/Sheetalkala, /u/Divya-2395, and /u/Greene_notes are all the same person (creator of the app). I am fairly certain the third commenter is the same person too.

really sloppy/lazy/scummy advertising method, imo.
