    This is why I stopped using Twitch(among other things). Kept making it harder and harder to block ads, content experience got worse because of it, so I just stopped using the platform entirely.

      I used to watch twitch a good bit while i was doing other things. It was great to have on while doing dishes or cleaning up.

      I remember trying again in the not too distant past. I got hit with like 5 ads to start the stream. Thought that was going to be is as long as i stayed there… NOPE. Got 5 more ads like 5-10 minutes later. Shut it down and never looked back.

        Same, had it on during daily chores, listened to it while mowing the lawn, and if work was slow I’d have it on a tablet off to the side with my headphones(boss didn’t care).

        That was back in 2019, haven’t used it since.

      Amazon, one of the richest corpos in the fucking world. And they put an ad break every 30 minutes or whatever to promote their paid subscription… That gets rid of ads for you…

      Not to mention paywalling basic player features

      Fucking hate their guts
