I thought Twitch.tv is considered as a separate subsidiary apart from Amazon? Meaning, it's autonomous to Amazon, and Amazon can't influence the decisions by Twitch.tv staffs?
I mean I can link my Prime membership to Twitch. So there's clearly some benefit.
Which is still far too big a cut for a middleman to take.
Subsidiary means Amazon can fire the Twitch staff if they want.
They might be treated separately, but that's Amazon's choice. At the end of the day, Amazon is in control.
No ads here on Safari using Ub Origin. If I ever do get stuck with ads on Twitch, I'll just delete the link. I dont use it much anyway.
I gladly sub and donate a lot to streamers I enjoy but that doesn't mean I should have to deal with shitty ads interrupting the stream when they're in the middle of something and I can't see it because of a fucking ad. I have Twitch Prime for a reason, to support the streamers, so why the fuck do I need to spend more than 100 on being able to turn them off. Don't mind if it's one ad when starting the stream and that's it
Exactly, it's a real issue. Anyone accusing someone of being a "freeloader" is hilarious.
The day it stops working is the day I stop using the website. One of the biggest problems with this is preroll ads as soon as you click on a stream and another one is that if you're not a "true" partner you have no control over ads. If I turn on my stream for a friend and they dont have adblock, Twitch is just automatically running 30 second ads on my stream that I have literally no control over.
This is a good point, though I do think there are ways around this that could still enable a pre-roll ad. That said, I'm surprised it took Twitch this long to circumvent ad-blocking software. It seems pretty obvious to just embed the commercials into the stream itself so there's no means of the software detecting the difference.
then a streamer is free to use a different website, or create their own website
If you aren't using Streamlink + Chatty (or Chatterino) you aren't watching Twitch correctly. I haven't had an ad watching Twitch in over 2 and a half years.
Plenty of videos on YouTube on how to set it up. I could not watch Twitch otherwise because streamers are getting so big now that in between games they are putting up 4 minute ad blocks.

I don't mind the ads if it can be skipped. Every time I try to watch tournaments, the *** ads just stays there forever and causing me to miss the important moments. Especially for tournaments that have like 4 streams happening at the same time, why I have to watch the ads when switching between streams again and again and again.
If not wanting to watch those ads makes me a freeloader, cool. No time for that bullshit. Adios.
Is this sort of shit bannable on Era? What separates this type of response from general admission of piracy?
I hate ads too, but there's no reasonable argument for expecting Twitch to be free, with no ads.
You want to ban people for not wanting to use twitch? Some straight clown shit, mate.
Wait...you are advocating banning someone off of ResetEra for stating they don't want to use Twitch anymore because of their ad implementation? and you correlated it with piracy for some reason?
Am I getting that right? Is that what you're saying?
So people who didn't watch ads before so streamers couldn't be compensated are going to stop visiting twitch so that streamers won't be compensated?
Seems about right.
Seems about right.
Of course not. But some basic reading comprehension shows that the quoted poster is going to stop Twitch now that ad blockers don't work.
I'm sure if someone announced that Switch piracy had been eliminated, and a user said 'no more Switch for me' - there would be an issue.
It'd be an issue for that user maybe. I don't really see why you'd care enough to advocate a ban based off some situation you made up based off of a five word sentence.
Of course it's related to piracy? Twitch only make a return on their content by getting a subscription, or selling ads. I'm not sure why deliberately circumventing the ads and expecting their product for free, is viewed as significantly different than the general piracy of paid content.
I honestly didn't think you would double down on your ridiculous statement.
Color me surprised lol
Blocking ads is ethically questionable, but it's not piracy or even illegal you dolt.
I can tell you right now, I've seen the same Logitech headset ad at least 100 times now and I will ABSOLUTELY never buy it because that ad pisses me off
If it's any consolation I have indeed been actioned in the past for comments related to piracy.
No need to get wound up. Obviously my opinion on ad blocking differs from others here.
I've gotten fucking PragerU ads on YT, like I'd rather Google not make money than have to sit through that.
