Twitch Rolls Out New Mid-Roll Ads and People Hate It
Hey, we're watchin' over here!
what’s with
twitch giving me ads in the middle of streams? like excuse me i’m
watching this
This is a big concern for small streamers.
Are there any
other options for streaming other than YouTube & FBG?
I'm already a nobody on twitch as is,
& now y'all want to add more ads blocking more content.

It could easily lead to viewers leaving.
There are so many problems with this: 1.
The viewer doesn’t know if the ad was run by the streamer or
automatically by twitch
2. Viewers leave during ads. Doesn’t
matter how long they play or when they play, if an ad plays, they
leave
3. Streamers have no control over this
ad
Some are already looking at alternative options.
How often would a
streamer need to run ads so that twitch won’t run them randomly?!?!

The frequency seems to be a major issue.
Really twitch not even 20min and got 2 ads already... What a
load of BS
This could be a tactic to get more streamers playing ads on their own...
So... this sounds like the platform is throwing its body
around to force streamers into deliberately playing ads. "If
you don't play the ads, we WILL play them for
you". There _has_ to be a better way to
increase ad inventory, Twitch, cmon.
...and some are already planning to do just that.
The new ad
announcement from twitch is why I run Ads manually because they won’t
run during good gameplay/moments
And there are others that might switch to options like YouTube, as a result!
This is nothing
short of terrible for small streamers. I make nothing off of ads and
this will cause me to stream less and focus more on YouTube for growth.
👏🏻 @Twitch
