April is just around the corner, and I'd like to use this time to remind users to donate in support of the site. I am looking into purchasing more add-ons to streamline and enhance user experience, and I am also going to hire another VPS for additional backup space and other important purposes in April.
In addition: I am looking for users who would be interested in becoming Orderlies for the new vtuber threads. Responsibilities would include highlighting and properly collating information in each thread, and also maintaining the announcement widgets for each thread. Knowledge of basic HTML and CSS (very easily learned) essential. DM me your interest.
Finally, I'm looking for anyone with intermediate to advanced HTML/CSS/PHP knowledge to continue work on the forum styles. I am willing to pay for this service, but if I do, I expect commitment and results within a reasonable timeframe. DM me any offers. Thank you.

Regardless of the company's politics the platform has been designed to make money even if it will kill both viewer and streamer experience. Yes it incentivizes chat interaction with the streamer but it immediately backpedals by forcing viewers to watch ads for 4-5 minutes randomly. Streamers can't even turn off ads they can only modify the frequency that viewers will recieve ads. Now you can say that they have the right to absolutely fuck people who don't pay money to them but at this point Twitch could work out a better way to make money rather than invest in the adblocker war they just choose not to. As other people have stated above Twitch is in the same place as crunchyroll where they're not innovating at all they're just trying to leech more and more out of people with a platform that is getting older and not better.
1) They have a war on adblockers that's been going on for years, with intrusive ads that will run for 3 minutes per hour and interrupt live content.
2) They have the worst VOD player you'll ever see, a buggy fucking mess.
3) If you want to tolerate the Twitch VOD player because you had to miss a stream, it's very likely the streamer played music that triggers Twitch's content-ID system and mutes significant portions (30 minute chunks) of said VOD.
4) The engagement tools you speak on can be both a blessing and a curse. For many people it comes off as distracting rather than as good content. For examples, see: Silvervale having major parts of her model controllable via chat points and watch her morph every 2 minutes into some random other outfit or God Forbid that "chibi" form. Another example would be the times a funding event happens such as a sub, dono, or bits, many 3D chuubas have an engagement tool set up such an object gets thrown at them and the streamer has to pretend "OH NO YOU HIT ME IN THE FACE WITH A GIANT FISH BECAUSE OF A $50 DONO".
5) From a broadcaster perspective, discoverability on Twitch does not exist. Anyone looking to stream as a career, go to any expert in the field and 100% the first piece of advice will be "You don't grow on twitch, you grow elsewhere that does have discoverability and transplant that audience into Twitch." or you try and network with streamers with bigger audiences than you and self-advertise while not making it obvious you're trying to self-advertise.
Most other complaints about Twitch are not actually unique to Twitch and is more a facet of Twitch being the default platform when someone wants to start streaming. So Twitch attracts the shitty dregs and ethots as well as people with actual entertainment talent.
Why do I never get ads? I don't understand. I've never changed any settings, I just use default Brave and default uBlock Origin.
You don't get ads on channels you are subscribed to, or if you pay $15/mo for "Twitch Turbo"
Do you only watch channels you're subscribed to?
Is your VPN set to some third-world shithole?
Is the grace of God upon you?
Mostly yes. Do raiders get ads too? Raids are 90% of the forces behind me seeing new channels I'm not subbed to.
I don't use a VPN for the most part, so no.
Unlock Origin + ad blocker ultilmate + privacy possum + decentraleyes + Firefox + duckduckgo privacy essentials + vpn
Streamers can prevent a new viewer from getting pre-roll ads by using the Ad Management Tool and making sure they are running no less than 3 minutes of ads per hour during content.
Whether a streamer does this is up to them.

I would judge you for being a fag but it's illegal during rainbow month. Midnight on the 30th though you swing.
You don't get ads on channels you are subbed to. Streamers should be able to avoid ads being played to raiders in their settings, but you should eventually see ads on a channel you aren't subscribed to. It could also be ad laws in your country/region making ads less common.
Speaking of twitch. I saw this on twitch yesterday
A twitch staff came in this guys chat to argue with him about the new twitch ToS etc.
Ok this guy acted like a total fag and people using the word " harrassment " are ultra fags. But this shit is fucking unprofessional you dont go in someones chat to argue because your new rules are shit wtf
For what it's worth, here's the actual streamer's tweet about the shit.
"I just said fuck it and went to touch grass for a little bit. Whatever." And fun fact the staff apparently wasn't just some rando janny it was Twitch's Creative Director.
I don't understand this "no discoverability on Twitch" thing people are echoing, because from both sides of it it seems to be the opposite for me. Let's say you want to see a stream on game X. On Twitch, you click Browse, you click the game's label, and there you go - streams only about game X. On YouTube, you have to search for that game, which will get you videos as well as streams unless you filter by "Live" only, and it still has the impreciseness of search where it might show you results for things it thinks are related to game X instead of just game X. And from the perspective of a 0/1view, I'm seeing far more people wander into my streams than ever did on YouTube. And I'm not alone on this. Everything I've seen from other established streamers up until this "no discoverability on Twitch" meme started circulating in the last couple weeks has advised the opposite - grow an audience on Twitch, then try to get them transplanted to more profitable and less obnoxious platforms when possible.

I can respect that then everyone deals with anxiety in different ways. Its more of twitter blowing things up like usual
I have trouble reading the chat, but I do see how twitch would be fun for others. For me there's always crap covering the chat and it's to tinkery to get rid of it
It be cool if youtube added the redeem type stuff but had a way to turn it off on vods (like it's saved seperatly) for when you don't want to see/hear all that all the time.
