I get what you’re saying, and these programs are great and all, but the average viewer knows fuck all about these apps or probably how to use them. Most people are turnkey users and basically vanilla. Then there are viewers that are morally conscience who think adblock might be wrong. I’m just saying overall this could knock viewership down a few pegs.

Good call, a more targeted approach.

These assholes really want Terminator to happen.

If I want to go blind I splash acid in my eyes

Please Google don’t get rid of shorts! Especially the ones with the wonderful AI voice over and karaoke style closed captioning! Please don’t do that! Or else I’ll keep using adblockers.

That’s unfortunate for the content creators. I realize that majority of their revenue comes from ads, but this is probably going to drive viewership down. The average person doesn’t have that kind of attention span anymore.

Ads are already a nuisance, making them unskippable will turn people away from the video especially if they also decide to go down the route twitch went of you having to physically be present and not minimize the ad. Creators already resort to their own product placement in their videos, which fortunately can be skimmed through. I just try to buy THEIR products to show support, if they offer.

Also, nothing makes me want a product less than intrusive annoying ads. That’s a product I would steer clear of.
