What happened on twitch?

[–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 27 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Made it more difficult to block ads than YouTube’s pathetic attempt.

I was really surprised (and annoyed) to see some ads on Twitch yesterday.

Straight up the first ads I've seen in a long time were on twitch.

Then of course the first ad I see was for Narcan followed by an ad for Smirnoff.

God I fucking hate ads

Ads need to be clearly identifiable as such here.

Twitch embeds ads directly into the stream now. They're next to impossible to block now, though I've heard some people say it's still possible.

Try ttv-lol-pro, it works for me.

I will have to try that. My way of blocking twitch ads is using my vpn. But it disconnects me from chat for a few seconds, when an ad should appear.
