#twitch ads

[captain-acab]

hey! do you know if blokada works with youtube+twitch as well? tired of wanting to watch things to get ads in my face

Not sure, I don't personally use those apps. But you have options!

Use a "front-end client" app. Basically an unofficial youtube app that can fetch yt videos, comments, etc, but blocks the ads itself. For ad-free Youtube I recommend using NewPipe. For ad-free Twitch, I've heard Twire is good. (I have a longer post about how to do this stuff here. It also links to an app for ad-free Spotify Premium, if you're interested.)

Try it out and see if it works! Blokada is a filter for all your phone's network connections, so if those apps use separate connections for ads versus regular content, then you can block just the ad connections. So, open an app you want to try, (you may need to wait til you see an ad), then go to Blokada and look for connections that look ad-related. Block em and see what happens. It will either A) block some ads, B) block some other functionality, or C) do nothing. Worst case, you can always unblock the connection again. Just by toying around with this, I've discovered some domains can be blocked for Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat to reduce ads and trackers.

Look, I can't afford a subscription to everyone on Twitch.

So i don't mind the ads.

I just wish they'd have consistent volume between the ad's.

One is

"I want to be like Iron Man..."

Another is:

"GRANNY I GOT THE JOB!!!"

Blowing out my speakers.

I'm really close to reaching Twitch affiliate status, but tbh I'm wondering if it's even worth it if they're gonna force ads on my stream...

I'm so done with Twitch ads.

"Jeff Goldblum, you've successfully created an empire around renting. As king of the landlords you deserve a cool new title.

Which of these mostly preposterously evil and decidedly unbased things would you like to be you like to be? A Rich Lord, a decadent Roman emperor, the ultimate boss of a dark fantasy DnD campaign... or a sexy horse?" And Jeff...didn't pick the horse. No I want to be god king emperor of the outerdark. All worship the mega landlord of all space.

For the record, im pretty sure I speak for 90% of twitch streamlettes when I say: always use an ad blocker. No matter what.

Like, you’re not stealing from the creator if you do. Unless a streamer is Jerma Sized, ads will provide about five cents a month; twitch has routinely attempted to push ads with “incentive programs” that go nowhere and alienate audiences.

If you want to support a creator, find out where they can be supported- a single 5 dollar donation when you can afford it will literally do more for them than anything twitch or YouTube “provides” via ads ✅

Anyone else get the Ad on Twitch where the Marines are like "Watch out, these birds are gonna digivolve into missile drones" or whatever the fuck that was? Where there's just like a tropical beach by a city, and the birds take off, and they *transformers noise* into flying drones, and there's like a psychic pulse that disables them and the deep voiced man is like : "Everyone's out to get America..."

There's a beat.

"Marines."
