The uptick in how many ad's that get played on Twitch is seriously driving me away from the platform. It's getting closer and closer to the old school T.V. commercial model we all ran away from.
Just get adblock - the perfect tool! No more ads! SAY NO TO ADS!
The RUclips ads are fucking annoying. I will never EVER by that Huel shit thanks to those ads.
@@stefanstefanov4821 don't work for twitch
@@stefanstefanov4821 adblock gang
twitch is horrible. remove good creators and promote whores
i'd say the worst part of the ads for me is when you are getting into the stream, and something big is about to happen, an add pops up and you'r like BRUH THIS IS LIVE, and then the moment is gone.
So fkn annoying right
So awesome how you have to navigate to a different page to go back in the stream to see what you missed and even then it's 10 minutes behind or the vod isnt up until the end of the stream and you have to wait. RUclips just lets you go back whenever and adblock works
@@fartloudYT that’s a big problem for the companies though because the ads bring awareness to new products which brings revenue. Commercials were a great way to get attention but then giving people the option to watch tv and pay for no ads is a blow for the companies spending money for these advertisements.
Boss on 20% keep going we almo- RAAAAAAID SHADOW LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... Fuck offffff
@@Leonjrxx its fine to be wrong, part of the reason i stopped tv was to avoid ads.
i dont watch twitch anymore, i just wait for the RUclips clips. Im not trying to watch commercials every 10minutes.
Doesn’t adblocker solve that problem?
adblock ?
adblock never works on twitch
same - not watched twitch in years.. find all i need here on yt
Really? I get the same problem with RUclips. I literally can’t go more than 9-10 minutes without 2 un-skippable ads. It’s even worse if you’re watching 2-3 hours long videos, like Esports for example.
Twitch did it to itself. This is what happens when you show favoritism towards some while demonizing the actions of others. That’s why so many are calling companies like them out right now.
But think of all the hot tub streamers
@@Dohzr what about em?
Well, favoritism? RUclips is also doing that to their creators.
@@sf_remixer u are correct but youtube is a very deep rabbit hole and extremely big. sadly alot of the issues with utube just get buried and no one realizes anything. while on the other hand the creaters on twitch are live and more visible because there arent whole Alot of huge creaters while on you tube there are just way more big channels and they arent live making them less visible.
@@Dohzr they're not even good, i was boutta bust and then i got an ad. ruined feelsweirdman
Whenever the ads on twitch go for too long, I get frustrated, give up and go back to RUclips. I rarely watch twitch streams because the ads are so infuriating, especially when they cut off the streamer mid-sentence and I have to wait 3 minutes just to rewind the video to catch up on what I missed. Easier to just go on RUclips and watch the reupload
What adds?
imagine getting ads on twitch LUL
Yeah I’m at the point where I’ll go on twitch watch a stream for 10 minutes and then the second “ad 1-5” shows up I immediately leave and go back to RUclips
@@juroph7 imagine not knowing there are streaming services on mobile also
Strong recommend an ad blocker, but yea I watch reuploads on youtube tbh
Twitch: "Here's the top 50 streamers right now"
RUclips: "Here's a view videos similar to this one, here's a few big youtubers, also lol look at the cute little 50 view vid."
This, this is why I'm on RUclips and fucked off twitch. Those 50 view vids are gold. I love this algo
This is the most accurate thing said about both platforms, I had streamed on both and can say, the Twitch part is dead on, as well as RUclips's exposure.
Don't forget the "Here's a gem from 7 years ago that we now want to go viral for some reason"
@@flipina omg yes I'm all about that
@@pilipala4003 Weird to see people praise the RUclips algorithm when it's significantly worse now than in the past. Related videos used to be related, now it's all filled with videos I've already watched before or shit that I clicked once several months ago and won't get the message.
Twitch is a tough watch because the ads come in at the wrong time. Give the streamers the ability to run an ad every 15 or 20 minutes for 1 minute. Better yet have a timer on when an ad is going to play and allow the streamer to go into a break.
cant u just use adblock or is that not free where u live
What adds?
@@apan990 Pretty sure adblock doesn't work on Twitch. Not on mid-stream ads.
The only stuff I found were some roudabouts that seemed too much trouble and fairly unreliable.
@@marcosmauricio7805 hmm, i use it and only use twitch to watch asmon rarely or for twitch drops, also rarely, and never once have i run into an add.
so i got no clue
No ad block on mobile or consoles. If I want to watch twitch on my tv I have to boot up my PS5 which has no ad block.
Twitch has made every effort to stop ad blockers. RUclips doesn't seem to give a shit.
That's probably because the majority of the people consuming youtube content are doing it on their phones. You can get an add blocker on the phone but I would say the majority of people don't have it. And on twitch that might be the opposite with the majority or close to it consuming twitch on a pc with an AdBlock. As well as most gamers hate ads so if they did consume a lot of twitch content on their phones they would probably have an AD Blocker installed.
youtube has such a ridiculous amount of cookies and other nonsense that I run an adblocker just to make sure the website loads. I wouldn't mind taking it off otherwise.
RUclips did recently kill vanced but otherwise yeah.
@@mistared4021 I'm currently using the last vanced and the adblock is still working for me. I also didn't know that Vanced was killed.
F
@@mistared4021 In what way died they kill it? Still working for me.
I stopped watching twitch at the time that twitch prime stopped blocking ads on every channel, not just ones you are subbed to. Checking out a new channel and getting 2 minutes of ads just ruined it.
RUclips premium is 100 x better than twitch prime.
They are getting more greedy
I think the numbers might say people don't immediately leave a stream when ads go up, maybe they alt-tab or switch to a different streamer or get up and bio/snack, but it still reduces the viewer experience and makes them less likely to engage with that channel/platform MORE in the future. Kind of like how a bad movie doesn't make people leave the theatre necessarily but it'll make them less likely to go to the sequel.
我
But that is the thing. They don’t care if it reduces the viewer experience unless it actually costs numbers in the metric for viewers that the ad streamed too. Twitch is a business trying to make a profit that will satisfy their owners at Amazon. As long as there is not an actual backlash of lost revenues, they simply do not care. It is their job to ride that line.
I've been hearing "twitch is about to go down" for a decade now.
With bigger content creators leaving, the resent scandale, and the lack of funding; Twitch is worried.
Twitch has been going down for the past decade, it just hasn't sunk yet
@@StrangerOnTheWeb yes
@@StrangerOnTheWeb fact
@@StrangerOnTheWeb that ship is sinking. The smart thing to do is abandon ship before it’s to late, as you see happening right now.
That’s not surprising for Twitch…
:(
The ads and bad vod/clips experience on Twitch had turned me into a RUclips Andy. I just watch Asmon’s (and other streamers’) clips and highlights on RUclips.
A big gripe I have with Twitch, is that I can watch Streams on RUclips no problem, and RUclips videos in 4k NP on my internet, I go on Twitch and I can barely watch 1080p and it sometimes even freezes randomly...
Those are the ads, if you have an ad blocker. Those ads will cause lag even if your subbed.
@@ExeErdna I don't use ad blocker...
One thing that wasn't mentioned is Twitch is more 'open source'-esque. What I mean is there are a ton of extensions, and apps, and other things for Twitch. RUclips is more of a closed ecosystem. I love RUclips for VOD-style content, but the streaming side just feels... like a red-headed stepchild. It doesn't seem to fit in and keeps to itself.
It's inevitable. They haven't changed or done anything in years that innovate on their platform. It will die.
I like how he doesnt skip any part of the video. Even the ads
The main problem with Asmons talk about running ads not lowering numbers is even though he is right about the numbers he has and we do not have anywehere close to the data he as a large streamer has either. But he did not take into account the fact that people who REALLY care about ads run an ad blocker. Now in the recent weeks the Ad blockers that exist have started to not really work and all his data was from a time where the people who really cared about Ad did not have to sit through them because the blockers worked. So the real question is what percentage of viewers run an AD blocker. Because i know that i personally will not sit through the amount of Ads that most streamers have i will go watch youtube videos or a movie instead. I would have been included in those numbers of people who did not leave when running ads before though.
It is possible he talks about this but i had to stop at 35 mins so will watch the rest later.
There has often been a time ad blockers didn't work. It's just a cat and mouse game between the platform and the people trying to bypass it.
His whole argument hinges on "I know more about this than you", which isn't one. If he has numbers he should show them instead of this stupid posturing he does. Dude thinks he's some sort of business genius because he went to a community college for 2 years and has a piece of paper that confirms he can read at a third grade level.
@@MooseCastle Found the hate viewer.
@@MooseCastle He does know more. It does not matter what you and i think about it he is one of the largest streamers that have ever existed he knows the data very well while the best we have are rumor websites that throw out wild numbers. The amount of salt in your comment is insane he is not a "business genius" because he went to college he may be one because he became a fucking multimillionaire and successful business owner playing world of warcraft.
Yep. I sometimes pay for YT premium and do not. The experience of not having YT premium is better then twitch. I can watch an ad on video and hope to another but get no ad until later on.
The one thing I would say for small streamers who are within that "minimum wage" bracket that was spoken about is that donations may not always be consistent. I think it could be a thing where one week you earn an extra $3000 and then week after you earn an extra $200 for the entire week. While still earning that money is great there is not a consistent, secured pay. And if you're at the point where you're trying to rely on twitch for your main job then that can be hard
It's really unlucky how fucking AWFUL it is watching twitch streams, I pretty much will only watch RUclips streams at this point. I hope Asmon will eventually be able to stream on both or make a business decision to move to RUclips permanently.
No bad luck, or any luck, involved. Its plainly corporate greed.
Capitalism requires constant expansion for everyone to get a piece of the pie and without proper moderation it becomes anarchic.
As we've seen with the last 5 years of ads being shoved in every one of our crevice's.
If there is ANY ads i dont watch, its as simple as that. I loathe them so damn much. Intrusive annoyance is all they are to me. My time watching on twitch has probably dropped by like 90-95% the past 1-2 years, since they started their war on adblocking. As soon as one gets through adblock im outta there in seconds.
I could never get into watching Twitch. But completely agree with the ads, I don't fuck with that crap anymore. I'm so sick of the nonsense junk they try to sell, I'm sick of the people shilling for that dumpster fire Raid Shadowlegends, I'm tired of the dropshipping junk people are getting from aliexpress and such, the endless raybands and wallet crap I didn't have any interest in buying the first hundred times they've been mentioned. It's just so damn annoying, and if I wanted the damn product I would go looking for it.
Don't even get me started on how Amazon has become infested with aliexpress junk pretending to not be aliexpress junk. I get so sick of people posting all this dirt cheap crap and jacking the price up around 20~30 dollars. Shit is practically a fucking robbery. I wish someone could come up with a machine learning bot and have it search aliexpress and Amazon and then filter out that crap when I search for something. I hardly ever shop from Amazon these days because of it. Etsy is the best example of how bad it is, drop shipping is out of control.
DSP is living, snorting proof you dont need to be entertaining to keep a audience as a streamer.
By the way, payment processing fees are relatively tiny. They're ~1% trendings towards 0 of the processed value.
depends on the processor. Some take close to 10%. Discover is a payment processor and they take 8% last I checked.
This was full of some of the most thought provoking video and I learned a lot as someone who streams and made me realize how much more educated on this creator space I need to be.
What a nice comment
if the streaming culture moves away from twitch and moves to youtube, ill be happy honestly
youtube is objectively better in so many ways, and if they implemented a better ui for finding and seeing livestreams, i think they would already be extremeeeely competitive with twitch, kinda surprised they havent already made some new ui thing like yt shorts
But consider youtube going down the same path as twitch when it gets popular enough. It's a legit risk too. Then we just might get 2 twitchs so to speak.
And youtube seems like a worse company than twitch.
i agree with all your concerns but i disagree that youtube is a worse company, they do some dumb shit for sure like these months where they pretend to care about minorities, or the ban controversies
but thats literally like every single week/day on twitch, cant go a single day without ppl talkin about twitch being a porn site, a pedo site, or someone getting banned for the most arbitrary reason imaginable while someone else is not banned while they are fucking on stream
or how their employees are making everything "woke" and "PC"
@@Xyrenos YT livestream is already a thing outside NA. you can literally go check top 10 superchatted creators on YT and they are dominated by non english speaking streamers. it just in NA people still think YT livestream is "small". and what twitch doing by get rif their exclusivity is already what youtube doing for their creators, no exclusivity unless for their creator with exclusive contract like valkyrae, ludwig, tim, etc
Finding and rewatching vods on twitch is my worst nightmare, miss half the stream for add breaks….then there’s RUclips where the ui is smooth and the vod immediately turns into a video I can rewatch. Not even close
@@QMS9224 YO TRUEEEE
especially old vods
sometimes i just wanna have a nostalgia trip into a time when a streamer was playing a certain game. almost impossible to do that on twitch without spending like 30 minutes sifting through the vods and thats IF they even have them
Wait, I'm pretty sure they didn't really hold to that exclusivity clause anyway because even before he was permabanned, Destiny had his streams through both YT and twitch via his website.
Twitch should just add a viewer ad timer. give us the chance when content is dead to watch our ads for the hour so they aren't forced during exciting content. I think thats a pretty simple compromise. I don't mind the ads showing up during a lul in content but when i get smacked with them at the height of a fight i get pissed.
On the ContentID thing, Twitch will be forced to implement atleast something on par. Afterall many streamers are breaking Laws all across the world.
Would be nice if the industry gets together to implement a licensing system for creators to use…the laws will never change they are basically Perfect after 100s years of perfecting for all 190+ countries in the world.
We need twitch to survive enough time for the competition to be there so yt gets better
Ads on twitch are extremely destructive to the viewer because you keep missing out on content. And it's not like RUclips, you get more than 5 ads at 1 time almost every time now. If it wasn't for my ad blocker, I wouldn't be watching Twitch. At least with TV you're not missing anything
I legit only watch one person on Twitch because of the amount of insane ads you get. There are some ad blockers but twitch is actively blocking them.
Often when im browsing small streams and twitch slaps me with an ad at the start I instantly lose interest and bail out
Its just not worth sitting through those annoying ads when browsing small time or maybe not even small time but streams unknown to me
It's a losing battle. The amount of upkeep for the platform is more expensive than the ad revenue brings in when the ads aren't driving viewers away. Up the ads, lose viewership, lose revenue.
The biggest problem with ads and why I've had an ad blocker on for over a decade is that you'll get the same ad over and over. Everybody knows this is true for YT and Twitch. You'll see the same ad no matter what and all it does is drive people to not want that product. Then getting creators to do it I'm just pressing 1-3 to see how much I can skip. I don't want knives, soap, manscaped, and I'm sure as fuck ain't playing Raid: Shadow Legends...
I automatically judge people that own RUclips shilled products as less than human.
Thats Metal.... In ya lungs
This is 100% incorrect.
1) they don't anymore, adfill has been really big since 2018. Extremely high since corona started.
2) it is based on your habits, so if you constantly block them, they have nothing to work with
The last 30 ads I got on my phone were literally all different.
@YMX exactly why. How do you not get this? I don't block and my last 50 have been different.
Funniest example I have is from a while ago. A local car dealership has been running different ads maybe every 6 months on YT. Normal stuff, "we are running deals on X, come check out Y, we even have Z". Until one ad cycle..... In a display that would best fit in r/TIFU They paid for an ad at the max length to qualify for being unskippable. Then spent the ENTIRE RUNTIME telling everyone about how they specifically made the ad this exact length so nobody could skip it, and stared awkwardly at the camera for the last 3 seconds. These people LITERALLY SPENT MONEY for an unskippable ad, to brag about how they figured out what unskippable ads were..... The next ad cycle never came and the lot is now vacant.
The only reason(s) ads don't affect viewership is because it's so easy to avoid them. Ad-blockers, sub, gift-sub, turbo, streamers choosing not to run ads. I haven't seen a twitch ad in several years
No doubt Asmon knows his business. But I'm interested if ads have a different impact on other viewer types. Age brackets, content type interest, average duration of viewing any twitch content, loyalty(time spent watching the specific streamer in relation to the total twitch time viewing), etc. As a hypothesis I would guess that younger age brackets leave streams more on ad breaks. But idk maybe thats wrong. I just see a tictok generation losing interest and switching to something else quickly. But that could be wrong. It would be interesting to see what data twitch collects over all streams.
Yeah that's plausible
The worst thing twitch did from a viewer perspective for me was get rid of the desktop app. I like it way more than the browser experience. Plus ads seem way more aggressive now.
I don't think having only 1% of people with 250 viewers is weird. I think it's actually quite large. 1% of 15 million is A LOT of people. I can't imagine that many people able to pull 250 viewers
You read it wrong, bozo.
It was from the 11+0.3% who are affiliated or partners.
yea because the minute you go to take a ship in the bath room the video you've been watching will automatically detect your gone and then automatically run 3-4 ad's back to back unless your there to hit that skip button 🤔
9:00 Actually Asmongold is incredibly wrong here, if no one became a twitch partner, twitch wouldn't lose all their money, instead they would just monetize everyone's streams without paying the streamers anything. Kind of like how youtube changed their policy to allow them to monetize videos from non partnered channels and take 100% of the revenue.
but then NOBODY would sit and stream on there, thus it would die. Wtf do you not understand in that easy math?
RUclips changed that only for channels which are A) not relevant and wouldn't make money anyway and B) on videos which have copyright claims on them, giving the revenue to the actual copyright holder.
The worst thing about ads is that they are even advertising Malware on RUclips right now with an annoying message "You're drivers are outdated click here to update" that shit should be illegal
The thing is RUclips is pretty extreme on copyrights and such (the rules are fair my ass, you need a 100 pages document to prove Fair Use), and much less streaming functionalities, so I don't know if it's going to be such a big disaster for twitch as he thinks.... the future will tell.
I know I much prefer watching streams on twitch than on youtube.
What about streamer getting banned due 0.1 sec male breast picture copyright song in donation song request and so on and so on lol
Tier 1 subs will have "less ads" only Tier 2 and up will have no ads
It's unfortunate because the company doesn't care. They know there will be other streamers to replace them, maybe become even bigger than they did. The market for streaming is bigger than ever. and just about anybody can start streaming. There's people constantly coming and going on the platform. 1 streamer, hell even one thousand streamers prbly don't mean anything to them. As they're just one piece of the bigger picture. This goes for any social media company.
Twitch has a platform and UX problem, not a policy problem. Its just so much easier to engage with the YT interface than Twitch's IMO. RUclips organizes your subscriptions, feeds, offline streams/VODs, in such a way that they seamlessly work together and make me want to chain videos together whereas Twitch is such a pain to navigate unless you're straight to the most popular live streamers for a game, and when important features are called "Twitch Turbo" its hard to take your platform seriously. It may not be popular but YT streaming "looks" professional whereas Twitch looks amateur as a platform, if it were rebranded as "Amazon TV" it would gain A LOT of new customers and non-gamers.
RUclips needs to give Streamers more tools, their lack of proper StreamLabs and StreamElements integration really hurts smaller content creators. I think the Description should be open by default on Live Streams and I'm just saying, the buttons work on Twitch for Donations and other information segments.
hello, I have found a problem... you can't swear on youtube without getting demonetised but an ad i've seen on youtube dropped an f bomb in there so i'm not really sure what the people in YT are smoking
Twitch owned by Amazon why is any one surprised
An ad during a stream I'm enjoying isn't the worse, but it's annoying. The dealbreaker for me though is when you first log into Twitch and want to go through the list of followed streams to see what people are up to and are forced to watched the same ads on every single one. THAT makes me AltF4 and go watch RUclips
The amount of massive streamers that have left Twitch without so much as a goodbye from the platform is wild.
Twitch biggest asset is their creators base which still is the most varied and numbered in the most and the problem or what's manifest today is fragmentation of audience basis ; the issue really is how to connect them and Streaming platform in general is very bad at that
Reacts to the ad in the beginning, this guy can’t stop reacting
Also, RUclips livestreaming is a litteral cheat when it comes to RUclips Premium viewers.
You're streaming for 10 hours, a youtube premium users watchs the stream for 10 hours, it'll be counted by RUclips as if he watched 10 hours of regular videos from you, so you get a huge cut from Premium users
hi! i dont watch ur content but you seem amazing and this video is rlly nice
There are a lot things I love on Twitch (Better Emotes, better Sub gifting, Twitch Prime stuff, I'm able to whisper to people as example) and I hate on Twitch (ads in the middle of a stream). There are things I love on RUclips (Streams + Videos + Shorts) and I hate (no whisper, using Emotes is no fun, Sub gifting is... kinda limited). I would like to see both plattforms performing well for everybody (the plattforms, the users and the creators).
The only thing that annoys me on ads on Twitch are the ads in the middle of Streams that are not in a ad break from a streamer, instead suddenly pop up while they playing or doing their stuff. I've no problem with ads on a stream start or in a special ad break, while the streamer is AFK for a few minutes.
I watch Twitch streams regularly but let's be real, it's such a disgusting company it makes me want to throw up. Shady business practices, clearly advocating pornography while having a largely underage viewerbase, banning legit mostly innocent people while scammers and verbal abusers and racists not etc.
Thank you for continuing to support such a disgusting company
@@csrjjsmp not like i have a choice when my favourite streamers exclusively stream on Twitch
bro, do you really have no idea that it's way worse on youtube, like copyrights abuses, demonetisation (you even need to avoid certain words in the title like germany in a video about ww2), shadow banning, and the very dark side of youtube with very illegal porn and other trash content etc (it does get removed but it still exist enough to have people noticing it)
and it's not because you don't see it in your recommendation that it doesn't exist
also, what do you mean by "advocating pornography"
@@kerotomas1 if your favorite streamer told you to kick a puppy, would you do it?
I open Twitch and if the AD is longer than 30 seconds I just do something else. It's just annoying.
Amazing video!!! Asmon! Keep up the amazing work!!! You editors too your doing a great job!! Love you all!
Ughhh blumpkinhead
@@jazmyneabbott3273 what’s that
Couldn't give a stiff shit about Twitch -- the only reason I remain there are because 95% of the streamers I watch are on the platform. In fact, I rarely watch streams live anymore because I just don't have the time and the stupid number of ads I'm hit with. I either watch VoDs and highlights of streams almost exclusively on RUclips.
difference between twitch and youtube its that on twitch you cant block ads since are streamed down your throat. BUT now youtube forces the ads on you even if you click skip ad, because just sends you to the next ad now.
I've stopped watching twitch for some time now, and that's simply because I discover more content I like and want to check out on youtube than I do on twitch. It got to the point where I discover people on youtube and click on their link to follow them on twitch. And when I do watch live streams, I really miss the pause option. On the other hand, live streaming section on youtube is a mystery to me. They really need to work on the content creators' live streams visibility on the platform the same way twitch does.
One suggestion since you already do so well in playing the creator's ads, is to also add the creator's ad link in your description right below where you link to the original video. Mad respect though for playing the ad portions of their video.
Lately, those 30s unskippable ads have been on everything on RUclips, those 5s skip ads have become a rarity, probably because they noticed that when the first ad is 5s skippable, the second ad gets skipped as well.
I went from watching twitch daily last year to barely watching it this year ads are so bad ill just do something else now its almost impossible to find new streamers now that they force you to watch 1 to 2 mins of ads when you switch streams.
Amazon in general is so stupid in advertising stuff to me. Most of the time they start advertising a product to me after i just bought it. That goes on for like two weeks and will start again when I buy the next thing.
I live in Vegas and I haven't seen any ad promoting gambling streams. Unless someone can provide proof, I don't really believe it. The Nevada Gaming Commission is extremely against any form of gambling that the state's casinos do not get a cut of, to the point that even daily fantasy sports betting is banned in the state because it's done outside of our casinos.
The twitch ad thing is generally why I don't like using twitch at all. It's already a stretch for me to watch streams because of how long and interactive they are that I just don't have time for. I don't have the patience for watching a full 3 minutes of someone trying to sell me something on top of that.
If I have to see an ad I immediately close the tab. Whether that's in the middle of a video or at the start. The idea of any company getting around my adblock is physically sickening. I need to get around to installing a pihole. I don't think leaving because ads will change anything, of course, but I don't want to see that shit.
Autoplay Ads is very bad on Twitch. Most smaller channels host 8 ads in a row and multiple times an hour.
I used to watch Twitch multiple hours a day. Then ads started coming up and I switched to RUclips which was a no-brainer since I already had Red for the download and play feature for my phone. Occasionally I will go and TRY to watch a Twitch stream with mixed results. Half the time it's all good, the other half of the time I get 3 minutes of ads, try to find where the hell the Twitch Turbo page is, give up after 2 minutes, and go back to watching vods on RUclips instead. It's legitimately insane.
The reason the Twitch thing is not like a performance bonus is that it brings you back up to the industry standard cut of 55-45.
A bonus is additive, this is subtractive. More like a performance ransom.
my personal experience has been that Twitch punished me for browsing/discovering new streamers by forcing me to watch the same stupid ad over and over with each streamer I tried to check in on. I wonder how much this impacts streamers. Surely I'm not alone in that. I don't leave with a chip on my shoulder, I just do other things and give up on surfing streams.
My biggest problem with ads, is I'm just sick of trying to be sold something
People are less likely to keep watching if there's a load of ads or the ads are really long, that's why people stopped watching TV. I get that ads are necessary but having to sit through 3 minutes of ads is just... I can't do it. I once even saw a 30 minute ad...
I've learned. I'll watch Preach reacts to Asmongold reacts to Bellular tomorrow 😌
kind of wrong about youtube being fair with ads , when a account is being judged on what you watch. You get really long ads or non skippable ads
Uninstall tick tock. Youre giving the CCP direct access to: 1. Complete access to any information on your phone 2. Complete access to any information on any device also connected to the network(wifi/BT teather/hotspot) your device is connrcted to.
I’ve been thinking about streaming some gaming for about 4 years now, but Twitch and it’s culture (corporate and community) just always has been the reason to delay doing so.
Might start in a while on YT though..
Stopped watching twitch as soon as they added in rolling ads during live stream. idc for adblock. it's the principle. you don't have ads during a live sports game. they're out of touch with the consumers
The first issue with Twitch is I have to recover my damned password every time I want to go collect a free prime gift or something. If I go to twitch to watch something I don't even log in.
I think battle royals streamers could get away with a lot more ads. Think of a minute between every match and that minute is just covering up the queue times for the lobby. That’d easily be 3-5 min of ads per hour
Getting ads in the middle of a grand finals tournament set is absurd. They're just throwing them at people in the middle of like a hype tournament set and you sometimes miss the ending or the entire match.
Having a stream interrupted by a ton of ads kills any enjoyment. Additionally it defeats the purpose of a stream. Streams are meant to continuously flow, not be stopped by a dam for 4 minutes each hour. It was especially annoying when Twitch decided to start showing auto-roll ads even when people were subscribed to a twitch streamer, the entire point of the subscription was to ensure there are no interruptions.
I literally have ad blockers turned off for youtube to let the ads play for the content creators. So for everyone person that leaves cuz of an ad, there is likely another person that doesn't care if there is an ad and understands that homies gotta make a livin'.
The worst thing about these forced ads on Streams are for smaller streamers. It's so hard to gain a following when you have 10, 15 viewers watching you and then your ad break comes and you just watch as they all disappear. More ads just makes it even harder to get viewers sticking around.
Bro what? There are way more ads on youtube. Unless you exclusively watch very long videos. Otherwise there’s 1-3 ads BEFORE nearly every video starts. There’s ads when you fast forward or rewind a video to shit you’ve ALREADY seen. There’s 1-3 ads in the middle. Then there’s ads again at the end.
That’s an incredibly obnoxious viewer experience as a mobile user
Prerolls are the worst. I dont want to watch 2 min of ads just to check out a new streamer but when i finde one where I decided to stay more then 5 min and then an add comes its ok.
Upcoming 2.5 Diablo II Resurrected patch is a pure slander. Please bring back 2.3 FHR mechanics. 2.4 FHR changes ruined PvP competitive gameplay. This is a voice of reason. There's a hot topic out there on blizzard forums regarding this.
I don't mind ads in the moderate amount... My main gripe is that whenever you tune in to any stream you instantly get an ad. Like before I get any idea what's happening on stream I need to sit through 30 sec. of ads.
3:55 is asmon really reacting to a brilliant sponser commercial? xD
This is the mentality of "When Everyone is Super, NO ONE WILL BE." When everyone is running ads, who would leave?
If you stream hop the ads get worse too. And the ad always happens when something cool goes down. Then people have to clip the part to help with the adswarm. Jfc
I rather pay ad block developers than twitch turbo or anything related to twitch. The more ads you shove in my face ill use more ad blocks or eventually leave.
One thing I think people forgot with twitch is twitch turbo is a thing and compared pricing wise to youtube red it's cheaper and just removes all the ads. because I agree the with some of the comments here twitch ads are annoy but since turbo just removes it from the site I just use that
2:15 oh at least dude, i am not surprised by that number at all in fact i would bet its actually more than that. RUclips is enormous, my mom watches RUclips and she has never even heard of Twitch
Twitch's ad policy and the way the ad takes the whole screen is insane. Its gotten to the point that when i see ads come up on twitch i just shut it down and watch youtube.
yeah i literally don't go on twitch anymore.. i used to always have a stream open in the background, but it got to the point that every time i wanted to see what some other streamer was doing I was slapped with 1 minute of adds, and I don't have the patience to wait 1 minute just to see what a streamer is doing, so i click on a different stream, 1 minute add starts over, click another, another 1 minute add, i close the tab and go watch a youtube video instead.
Nothing beats the feeling of a pre-roll when you enter a stream then immediately get hit with a 1 of 9, 30 second ads.
FUCK YEAH DUDE!
If Asmon wins streamer of the year he should go up there and then announce he is gonna take a break from streaming for an undetermined amount of time.
