Yep. Greedy broadcasters ruining it for everyone. Guess what, this is the internet: We have access to anti-rape devices if you don't take your dick out every once in a while.

I normally pause adblock when i get to a stream i like.
One bright day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight; Back to back they faced each other, Drew their swords and shot each other.

I've heard that some people are currently working on a new ad delivery type that is embedded into the stream (which is much more difficult to block), because the problem now is that they can't match ads to users, because they would have to create multiple streams with each their own ad.

- Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

Been using adblock for years now, no way I'm disabling it. The internet is a much nicer place without ads begging for your attention all the time.

How is it stealing? Seriously, there's nothing more annoying than being spammed with ads for products you are not in the least bit interested in. Sorry tl.net, I am not interested in dating sites for men seeking Asian beauties. Sorry MLG, I couldn't care less about Mountain Dew, a beverage that isn't sold in Belgium.

The amount of advertisments that get thrown at you through the web, email and even normal mail is ridiculous nowadays.

it's not stealing. Just knowing that you have given enough in the past to sustain them for at least other 30 years.

Adblock is born because ads were abused. Everyone deserves what he gets.

And the marketing industry complains about it because they are burning way more money than any shitty commercial in whatever media could generate. Welp ... too bad, for them ... I guess ...

The concept of advertisment got abused, raped and mutated into a sad thing that is so monstrous it screams to be killed to put out of its misery.

I don't fully agree with you. When banners are noninvasive, you can disable adblock if you wish (especially for TL!). But when things get obnoxious I would be the first to activate adblock

But ... that contradicts advertisment. When you don't recognize the ad why even put it there? Oh right, because some misterious 3rd party pays the site-owner. But did you ever asked yourself where that money comes from?
From sites, maybe ... like Teamliquid?! which pay a 3rd party to be registered in an ad-rotation to generate more presence and by that viewers of your site right? And that makes you moar moneyz because you have banner there for which you get paid! What a wonderful world isn't it?
(And people wonder why banks/finances is so lucrative ...)

A similar thing happened to me one week ago, i was watching WCS NA before sleep, put on full screen, waited for the first commercial, made it play out until the end (2 minutes) and got to bed. Two minutes later ad loaded, it was 30 minutes long. I could not believe it.

So, it was on again. Even Elly, the guilt tripping elephant, can't make me put it off.

The worst part is that you get ads on your own channel. So if you don't subscribe to yourself or get turbo, you get ads everytime you open your stream in a cast.

It's just painfull.. the worst is watching MLG youtube's channel. I wanted to watch the last MLG (i know i'm late). 4adds by videos... Wtf... And i got some WEIRD commercial on that channel.

The worst thing with twitch add is that it's ALWAYS the same. So you have sometime to watch the same commercial 4 or 5 times....

I started using AdBlock when i missed the final fight in a major tournament Finals & I have no shame for doing so. If the same thing happened during a main stream sporting event there would be major backlash. It shouldn't be acceptable on Twitch either.
