    No ads, no masters.

    There’s never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.

      This is exactly why I stopped watching Twitch. It was the only service I tolerated ads on. Until they hit a point where the frequency and number of ads were just unbearable and I haven’t opened the site since.

        Like one person uses them responsibly, like specifically for bathroom breaks, forces them at specific times so people don’t miss out on content.

          Twitch also requires you to do a certain number of ads per hour/amount of ad time per hour in order to hit the partnership levels for decent pay. Otherwise, IIRC, Twitch puts their own ads in and the streamer doesn’t receive any revenue from the ads.

          I think Thor over at Pirate Software did a video on it back when that whole “Twitch Adpocalypse” drama was happening.
