Yeah, saw my first ad yesterday with Edge browser. No blockers ever installed, so they tweaked something.Twitch changed something today and ads are beating uBlock. Is this the end of my Twitch watching finally?
Yea, I am seeing that now. Though its just as I go to the streamer for the first time... I see the little message in the upper left corner saying "xxx will be back shortly. this ad supports them". Not sure if the streamer opted in for this or not, but I've never seen ads on some of the channels (even when they do take a break, they don't run ads) I've now seen the intro ad on.Looks like they rolled out that system of embedding ads directly into the stream, explains why a number of people are getting ads now.
Its so inconsistent that it makes me think that the streamer has to enable it, plus it gets past my blockers.Streamers have no control over intro ads, that's done by twitch for all partners (maybe affiliates too?)
If you're on PC try using Streamlink + Streamlink Twitch GUI. Streams Twitch through VLC (or whatever media player you setup) rather than a browser and it may avoid embedded ads.Yea Twitch is dead to me I guess - Chrome/uBlock Origin is 2-4 pre-roll adds every time you click on a new stream.
Nope. Entry ad is purely twitchIts so inconsistent that it makes me think that the streamer has to enable it, plus it gets past my blockers.
On chrome without any ads leaking through yet, here's my blocked list from ScriptSafe so compare with yours?Getting intro ads now despite ublock & noscript. Been reading reports of people using streamlink and others are getting them too, so they went with those embedded ads we were hearing about a while ago.
