Yeah, if the volume of commercials would not kill my ears then I would disable adblock for sure.I want to support streamers but its really annoying when they blast a commercial in my ears. And sometimes you can't lower it for an ad.

Thanks for the great changes though.

Seems like a very reasonable move by twitch to limit commercials. Hopefully it might even get some people to turn off ad block.
He's not just a step ahead he's dubstep ahead, just look at all his bases

If the ads do become less intrusive I will disable my adblock for twitch completely instead of only adblocking certain streams. It's good to see that they're taking initiative in this.


Bingo, I will disable my adblock for the entire domain now that I don't have to use it to avoid getting extra commercials on resolution switching and reloading.

Thank god as I've literally been spammed with dozens of ads whenever trying to watch a no-sub Proleague cast, even midgame, and the worst thing is it's always the same 1 or 2 ads over and over again. Hopefully this makes things less spammy.

I dont get how no one is mentioning that their new turbo service is the biggest problem with the site(Pay 8.99 to not see any ads). Very few viewers are going to pay extra to subscribe to a specific stream with this new option available. They are under cutting all of the streamers with this service. Ive read from many streamers that they make a larger portion of their proceeds from monthly subscriptions than they do from ad revenue/CPM.

main difference: people who subscribe to channels won't count to ads numbers.
People who subscribe to turbo will.

Can someone confirm if I am right? that's how I interpreted it.

This is mentioned all the time. Except because people don't subscribe to skip the damn adds they subscribe to support the streamer. If they are the type that would like to support Twitch as a whole over their favorite streamer then it's their prerogative.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

People moan about esports not being as mainstream as they like yet they all have adblock on...dat logic

No matter what the changes are everyone who wants esports to grow should have their adblock off at all times. Good changes either way from Twitch anyway.

Or, if you're like me, you can't always tune into your favorite streamer(s) when they normally stream. Shelling out $5 for 1 guy that I may or may not get to watch for 1-2 weeks due to his/her schedule or mine sucks. Instead, I have to hope for an inconsistent streamer to go live, but I don't want to subscribe to 4 different streams for that case.

except when I have my tv on mute I don't hear commercials blasting through my room, cant say the same for twitch. Not to mention that I don't see the damn same commercial over and over. twitch.tv did this to themselves

That's not quite true. The ad selection for Twitch is "small" because that's what is offered to them through the contracts they have. It's more of a problem that advertisers don't want to pay Twitch (and other online streaming sites) to run their ads.

this is a bid offtopic but still twitch related.
Everytime i get those ads it says i should get twitch turbo to support xx player.
I think this is very missleading to say the least. The players don't get anything (only the normal add fee) from twitch turbo as far as i know.


Actually Twitch treats it as thought the streamer is getting ad revenue from you, so it actually does support the streamer.
But at what cost ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
