The UX for Twitch is downright awful right now. Browsing through multiple streamers almost always results in an ad being played for every streamer you check out, it's so bizarre, they actively punish you for trying out new streamers unless they're very small who don't have ads yet. The workaround is to 'pre-browse' by opening multiple streamers in new tabs, muting their tabs and then checking them out a minute or two later, but that's quite a PITA. Twitch could disappear today and I don't think I'd care, I couldn't say the same thing five or ten years ago.
