This is exactly why I stopped watching Twitch. It was the only service I tolerated ads on. Until they hit a point where the frequency and number of ads were just unbearable and I haven’t opened the site since.
Twitch also requires you to do a certain number of ads per hour/amount of ad time per hour in order to hit the partnership levels for decent pay. Otherwise, IIRC, Twitch puts their own ads in and the streamer doesn’t receive any revenue from the ads.
I think Thor over at Pirate Software did a video on it back when that whole “Twitch Adpocalypse” drama was happening.
Oh, is that right? I basically only watch 1 channel and I’m subbed, so I guess I just never noticed… I tried to get an ad on Twitch for the past 30 minutes watching several streamers though and didn’t get a single one.

Why not just use an adblock?
Ad block software doesn’t work on Twitch anymore because they embed the ads directly into the stream.
Doesn’t work on Twitch; They embed the ads directly in the stream. If you block the ads, you also block the stream.
