Back when Twitch was Justin.tv, we put in a lot of effort to make sure we only sent video to a copy of our player that was successfully showing our ad placements. I imagine that similar protections are still in place, but it's been almost a decade since I worked there.
- tylerhou 8y agoThere exist open source clients which can play Twitch livestreams, so I’m not sure how much effort is being concentrated there anymore: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink
- Fnoord 8y agoI use adblockers and I've never seen ads on Twitch
- sgtmas2006 8y agoNot so much work anymore. It seemed there was a decent push when the html5 client was released, but nowadays you can just use streamlink or many other programs that are similar. I just sub to streamers that I want to support.
