Twitch stream and ads

sergentzimm

I just wanted to give some feedback on the twitch streams. I tried watching the Blizzard Panels and they were killed by ads. Seemed to get an ad every 5 minutes and it ran over the content. There needs to be an option to either have you all get rid of ads or at least cache the content so the ads dont run over the content. It shouldn't be that hard to not have the content loss.

As a member of the stream moderation team, I will pass on your concerns to our leader.

If you subscribe for $4.99 you will not see those ads. Just FYI

I really don't think the impetus of the ads destroying content is on the consumer here. I am ok with ads, I just don't want them to destroy the content.

They shouldn't overwrite any content. As we stream, twitch archives the video. If you watch it later, you'll have the opportunity to see missed material, but it'll depend on when ads show that time you watch. It's definitely an imperfect system, to be sure.
