I'm kinda surprised they haven't done this already. Twitch has been doing this for a while now, and the only reliable way around it is to use a proxy in a country that Twitch doesn't run ads in.
I think Twitch has gone to shit lately, because of their decisions, but I don't know the numbers. Do you have any info about this?
Oh, it's been pretty crap for a while now. I constantly see viewers complain about ~~AIDS~~ ads and even content creators feel poorly about them.
Looking at https://twitchtracker.com/statistics shows a relatively flat viewership base. Since January, they've seen a decrease of close to 15% viewers and concurrent channels. It appears that they had a large increase in viewers and channels in 2020, probably due to Covid, and since then they have been in decline.
Thanks Limewire, even though you used to put virus on my computer.
