Twitch is unwatchable now because of all the ads.

There are tampermonkey script(s) and ublock filter scripts that swap out the advert video with the live broadcast video (but in low res) - i have lived with that for now, esp. since i watch esports on twitch, and it sucks that i would have missed key moments of a game when an ad plays during it!

There's several ones listed here : https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions

I use the scripts (https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions#scripts) instead of the proxy solution, as i dont want to rely on a third party server to be working.

There is the option of Twitch Turbo, which removes all (Twitch) ads for $12 per month.

Twitch Turbo has been around for a decade, and the price hasn't increased that much over time (9 USD/month to 12 USD/month)

'tis the season. Get ready for $15/month. Those exec bonuses won't make themselves.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.

I use Brave on desktop and don't see the twitch midroll ads (videos). This doesn't help with my smart tv, but it does with my phone. The display ads that dynamically intrude on the stream is something I want to suppress, next.

Which was great when Amazon Prime gave you Turbo for free. When you can compare the pricing of Turbo to YouTube Premium, which is the better value?

In the end what has actually happened is we watch less.

depends on what you watch. Some people are very into streams and barely watch youtube, so it's not even a comparison. I'm the opposite and can catch maybe one stream live a month.

increase in price always leads to a lower demand. I'm sure they took that into account before the price hike.

The native android TV app is very bad. I just launch the app on my phone/tablet and cast it to my TV/Chromecast. I did not see any ads when I was casting. I am not entirely sure how things are on the apple side of the ecosystem.

Does amazon still give you one prime sub per month? IIRC, subscribing to someone on twitch removes adds for their channel, so it'd work out cheaper if you're subbed to 3 or fewer streamers.

Then again, I just use an adblocker for any twitch streams I watch live.
