What really sucks about the Twitch ad situation is the ad blockers work for most people, and they refuse to believe it doesn't work for everyone.
I know someone that only has uBO. No extra Twitch specific piece or anything, and he gets no ads. Most people use one of the Twitch specific solutions (that you may or may not have to swap around because they are constantly trying to make them not workable), and they mostly work.
For me, up until Twitch started apparently showing a mini-player of the stream during an ad, none of the Twitch specific solutions worked for long if ever. Not even the proxy one that most people used that was meant to get rid of ads by grabbing the stream from a country where no ads would be or could be displayed. The aforementioned mini-player did seemingly solve the solution, but I seldom look at twitch for long so for all I know it could still sometimes fail.
As an aside, fuck I wish we could have Twitch tier chat implementation on Youtube instead. IRC-based chat just works, is super light, and easily extended. Fuck the jeets that came up with the Youtube chat system.
>>101566578Call me when Twitch allows 1440p streams with proper bitrates.
To my surprise a few more holos recently started doing 1440p streams. It's such a nice quality bump, it actually makes me very happy to see.
>>101563929I have, it's just much rarer because almost no one that is a Twitch streamer first all of a sudden decides to have Youtube exclusive streams. Though for a long time it was partially because I think Twitch partners were not allowed to.
Usually when it happens it's them making a full move rather than splitting streams between sites. Otherwise the majority of the time it's them dual streaming now that they are allowed to.
