If I watch Day9's stream for an hour, during which there are several occurrences of an advert, day9 gets the money for me watching those adverts. I then go to MrUnknowns stream, and its really good so i stick around, I see that same advert several times, will MrUnknown get money? From the above quote i'd say he wouldnt as i have already seen the advert 1-3 times on day9's stream. That's not how it works. If you have already seen the ad the capped number of times you won't see it again, that's the whole point. Rest assured, if you have seen the ad, whoever you are watching has been paid. | ||

I need help, I was using IE before and have switched to firefox (because I woke up from my IE coma), and some times I see a streamer type /commercial but I get no commercial. Obviously I don't care whether or not I watch commercials or the streamer just waiting for the commercial to finish. To my knowledge I have no ad-block installed (I haven't installed one myself). Is this just because I live in Denmark and nobody pays to show commercials to me? I think the least I can do for eSports is to watch some stupid commercials, so please PM me if you know why I am not getting commercials. It's most likely because no one cares about you/Denmark : ( it's a small blessing for now.

Rest assured, if you have seen the ad, whoever you are watching has been paid. Capped ads have a higher CPM (on average). So if he's seen all the capped ads then switches streams, the next guy will see less money from the repeatable ads lower CPM. Everyone still gets paid what their ads are worth though. | ||

Yes, but he was talking about the SAME ads (and I basically never see any unique ads herein Australia). | ||

Basically, you have to be a Partner with Twitch. They outline the requirements on their application page: http://www.twitch.tv/partner/signup To qualify as a TwitchTV Partner, you must meet... BOTH of the following requirements: Views per month: 30,000+ Average concurrent viewers: 300+ Or EITHER of the following requirements: Views per month: 100,000+ Average concurrent viewers: 400+ These requirements are general guidelines. Exceptions are handled on a case by case basis at TwitchTV's discretion. | ||

This I promise you that your "love and care" is not putting food on pro players tables. This is not the MLB or NFL, not every esports pro has a salary or a very reasonable one, yet are still willing to put hours of their time into a video game for your amusement. If they need commercials to get by, you should be happy to support that. | ||

Well said Idra! TwitchTV doesn't have to let anyone using adblock watch the stream. We could easily block all adblock users from viewing our website. But we hope that outreach, education and being awesome to the community will persuade people to care about the players and events and not want to screw them. So listen to Idra! Please do not use adblock on TwitchTV. TwitchTV is rolling out things like the Day9 Subscriber system to other streamers so if you really hate ads but want to support a streamer, that will become an option as well. But for now, we all can slurp and ad or two and know at it directly is keeping our favorite entertainers afloat with the income they need. Honestly, most of you are awesome. For such a tech savvy audience, we have a rather low percentage of adblockers. Please keep up the education and good work so that we all can continue to enjoy the growth of Esports! | ||

I am perfectly fine with non-intrusive ads. However, I *really* do not want to run into ads in the middle of a game (doesn't happen on high profile streams as ads are controlled). Having to watch a 30s ad when I refresh a stream, knowing something is about to happen really suck. I am perfectly fine with watching commercials during downtimes (add a commercial button for the audience as well?). I am also perfectly fine with a string of continuous commercials being played in the background while I have the stream open but is doing something else. I suppose in a perfect scenario I would have absolutely no ads while games are being played/caster is talking, but commercials roll during downtimes: similar to TV. | ||

Because why would you join partner program if you don't know how it works? Actually once you apply to be a partner, and IF you are accepted to be a partner, you'll be given a 3-4 page contract going into detail exactly what you have at your disposal and how much you'll be making, and on and on. | ||
