Edit: I hope twitch keeps on improving, especially because they no longer have competition (since own3d shut down). | ||

The changes sound good overall! I hope as well that Twitch keeps on improving, even when they are nearly alone regarding streaming. | ||

It was really annoying sometimes, when you were just browsing the streams. The changes sound good overall!

If they stop improving people with no income from streaming will switch to other services such as daily motion, ustream etc as those services improve. They will also need a massive lead if youtube changes terms so you can show sponsors in their live streams or whatever it is that makes it bad currently. | ||

The same if you watch the ad or have twitch turbo. Ads support the streamer, and since turbo is the same as if you were watching the ad, the streamer is still supported. | ||

What i was saying is that twitch's slogan suggest to me that the player benefits from you upgrading to twitch pro. That's not the case. You won't support the players by buying twitch turbo instead of watching ads. Right now there is no incentive for me to buy twitch turbo to support my favourite players. But that's an impression you can get if you read their slogan. If you buy a subscription of a channel you indeed support them because they get a big part of that money. Do you understand my point now? | ||

I wonder if they are going to anything to try to fix the fact that there isn't a pratical reason to subscribe to peoples channels now Twitch getting their money>content producers getting their money, they've made their choice it seems. Fishstix had some pretty lame answers when trying to defend turbo on twitter. In the end as a streamers I want subs> over all if I do it for a living. | ||

twitch should give an option to the streamers to turn off the pre-rolls and give them some more control over their stream this way. as mentionend in the twitch article, they already know that these pre-rolls are not working for livestreams at all, since you miss content at times that the streamer cant control, so you might miss things you really want to see. commercials need to be viewer-friendly at internet-media or otherwise ppl just block the ads. the solution that i see: give the streamers 100% free decision on when and how long commercials run. they are in close contact with their viewers and know how to solve problems regarding this. there are many different kinds of streams for different games and 1 ruleset for all of them wont fit. so please dont put rules that may apply for most streams on the other ones who cant work with that. btw: i will for sure disable my adblock for all streams if they remove the pre-rolls completly. im fine with the mid-rolls. | ||

Do you understand my point now? iirc it only says something like "you won't see adds, whilst still supporting the player". It doesn't say "get twitch turbo in order to support your player" That's a pretty big difference. | ||

That's my whole point it DOESN'T say "you won't see adds, whilst still supporting the player" it says "support player x and level up your twitch experience, go turbo". I am not saying it's a lie or its wrong how it is stated there. I say it can be easily misunderstood. But maybe that's just me as a non native speaker. | ||

Yeah that was definitely one of the more annoying things. A very welcome change. It's like if each time you changed channel on your tv you'd go straight to commercials. | ||
