Twitch is not profitable. I don’t think it has ever been.
If they need to add ads, the pause screen is probably one of the least intrusive places to put them.
twitch has gotten unusable :/ such a shame
No one like ads… Who would’ve thought of that? 🤣🤦♂️🤷♂️
Well… who is out here pausing twitch streams anyway?
It’s a live stream that resumes on live and doesn’t have a rewind feature like youtube.
Is this just gonna upset all the who wanna pause on hot tub vids?
I can’t tell you the last time I actually watched a stream on twitch.
Glad is use Adguard, sure it goes to 480p when it blocking ads (and switches back), but idgaf. Fuck these corpos.
YouTube streaming is so much better now. If your favorite streamer is on YouTube there’s no reason to deal with Twitch.
Business model under late stage capitalism:
1: develop useful product
2: launch useful product to great success while desperately trying to pay off the massive loans you took out to get the useful service up and running in a cutthroat environment
3: enshittify the service by slapping on as many advertisements as possible to capitalize on your popularity and pay off the loans you took out and hopefully make a few million you can pocket before everyone realizes you product has become trash, or maybe get bought out by a large competitor before it all falls apart.
4: do it again
I can never watch Twitch anymore because of all the ads not to mention their moderation sucks. Kick, on the other hand, has no ads and less moderation, and YouTube works fine with an adblock. I can’t see myself leaving YouTube and Kick for now they’re just better in every metric for me.
why would someone pause a twitch stream? just mute it instead?
Why do we need to be shown ads every single second? It’s so frustrating. Not just on twitch. Everywhere.
Twitch also lets asmongold promote hate. I don’t think they give a fuck.
If I pause something, that doesn’t mean I’m giving permission for something else to play? That’s like me turning down the radio, but instead of the volume going down it just changes to a different station. Weirdo design
Jokes on them. I don’t use twitch because the ads are already unskippable
Ah and make tou watch an ad so you can unpause?
Twitch is absoutely god awful now, pretty much unwatchable. A few years ago I didn’t think they could riddle it with any more ads, but by god they’ve done it. I was never very big on watching streams but I watch a lot of esports and YouTube is simply better.
It’s a sad state of affairs when YouTube is actually better than your service.
Reddit now has comments as ads…
Also, it’s just wasting advertiser money. If I’m pausing the stream, I’m probably tabbing out or even leaving the room. If you advertise on twitch know that you’re paying to advertise to an empty room in a tab. I have minimized and muted
