Hey Twitch friends! Please vote on this to encourage Twitch to remove mid-roll ads! To some extent, we'll likely have to live with ads, but I hope Twitch at the very least re-works how mid-rolls work and gives creators more control. https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310237-ads/suggestions/41391901-remove-mid-roll-ads?tracking_code=84e309c5de88a4a7e7cd6766c589ac2e
If you're wondering how to optimize when mid-roll ads appear on your streams, here is a good thread on how often you'll have to run ads/how to tell when you've run enough ads (somewhere around every 15 minutes to half-hour, only for current viewers) https://twitter.com/renee/status/1305652983259041792
If you have the means and ads are a big problem, you can always sub to Twitch Turbo, which will eliminate all ads across the site for you personally (not your stream). Twitch doesn't advertise this enough IMO.
Twitch Turbo also has some other great benefits beyond removing ads too, especially for affiliates. BUT, do your research and decide if it's worth it to you.
To some extent, we're going to have to accept that ads are going to be a thing because Twitch is a business at the end of the day, but I hope Twitch does the right thing and works WITH the community to find the best solution creators and viewers can live with.
