I frequently kept a twitch pop-out in the corner of my screen throughout the day. When uBlock stopped working, I almost immediately stopped using the site. Video interruptions are pretty awful for live content where channel switching is a regular occurrence.
- symlinkk 3y agoSounds like a win for Twitch - you were costing them money and not giving anything back
- jron 3y agoThey lost about $20-40 a month on me alone. There are far more channels than a single person could possibly subscribe to...
- anonymousab 3y agoThey may have been paying for subscriptions, bit rewards/redemptions, prime, etc. Ads are only one source of Twitch's revenue. Twitch started showing a purple "disable your ad blocker" screen when a block of ads failed to run. I think they probably would have made a lot more money and reduced a lot of churn by simply advertising Turbo instead, which many users don't even know is an option.
- stevenwliao 3y agoTwitch subs remove ads for subscribed channels, so OP doesn't buy subs. Which is the more likely scenario? 1. OP buys bits and throws them at their favorite streamers despite not being willing to pay for subscriptions. 2. OP pays nothing for Twitch and doesn't watch a single ad.
- pugworthy 3y agoThat's why you subscribe to the channel you like - or use Twitch Prime if you have Prime.
- prox 3y agoIf you are really interested then Twitch Turbo disables ads for about 10 a month,
