It's shit like this that makes me disable monetization whenever I stream to youtube.
I have automatic ads disabled on Twitch as well - The only time I run ads there is when I BRB.
These platforms are getting way too disruptive with advertisements.
YouTube has introduced a new side-by-side ad format for livestreams.
The main video player shrinks to make room for ads displayed alongside it on both desktop and mobile.
While the ad plays, the livestream audio is muted, so viewers hear the commercial instead of the stream.
Many users report it disrupts immersion during gaming, sports, and chat-heavy broadcasts.
Viewers are also noticing more sponsored content appearing in the subscriptions feed.
This is being widely viewed as a push toward YouTube Premium, which recently rose to $15.99 per month for individual subscribers.
I don't know if I'm alone with this, but I miss when games didn't have thousands of skins in them.
"Small update" for this game and I gotta re-download 47 GB of files.
I wonder how many of those gigabytes just skins and other cosmetics that live on my hard drive.
How the fuck does this not violate Twitch's ToS when I've seen streamers get banned for having virtual avatars that show a little side boob?
So a little bit of drawn skin is not okay, but it's perfectly fine to act out BDSM fetishes on stream?

โIt doesnโt violate our TOS, and she wasnโt viewbotting. As far as Iโm concerned, this also appears to be consensual. I admire the innovation streamers bring to the platform.โ
Found two of these 2006 Dell monitors at the local thrift store for only 12 dollars each!
Image quality is surprisingly awesome and I love the 4:3 resolution.
... Ignore that
the video shows a 16:9 VOD on it lol
Friendly reminder to smaller Twitch streamers that running a bunch of ads is optional.
Twitch makes us feel like we miss out if we don't run ads, and shit gremlins have claimed pre-rolls kill your channel.
But pre-rolls are only 30 seconds long - you can have 0 ads after that.
@KryDotExe@TwitchSupport@Twitch I noticed that embeds don't really get ads.
So I made a page where you just watch in theater mode through the embed, and you can change the channel by typing in the channel name at the end of the URL:

Feel free to use this if you hate ads as much as I do.
@MaplePrism That's why I made a page on my website that just full screen embeds Twitch. Seems like the embed can't show ads and you don't get popup ads either.
Feel free to use it if you hate ads as much as I do:

(just edit the last part of the URL to change channel)
I wonder why @Twitch has a support section for ToS related questions.
Asked a question to have something clarified, got a generic copy paste that used a lot of words to more or less say: "we can't answer questions about ToS, please go read the ToS and take a guess."
