I'm still blown away by the time it queued up a 2.5 hour ghetto climate change documentary in an ad. Like, thank fuck I could skip it, but what the unholy fuck?

I haven't seen him on GTA but in general I rarely watch twitch. If I am going to watch something small highlights like this work better for me. It's fucking criminal though that unfunny loser faggots like XqC get 100k views and this dude is funny as fuck I had never heard of before. That being said dude is making bank with like 20k subs constantly and millions of views on his shit. This one with the gummy bears cracked me up.

There was a big streamer influx into GTA and he's has latched on to people like xQc, Sykkuno, and Valkyrae. It's launched his subcount. Dude is making bank atm.

Listen if you arent using Ublock Origin(specifically origin not just ublock) youre wrong. You will never view another youtube ad with it installed.

CohCarnage and XqC... tons of streamers are not the LEAST bit entertaining and still rake in the views. That clip is great shit.
My top two:
- loltyler1 -> This guy always cracks me up. He's just a fucking idiot. But funny.
- ManVsGame -> only when he's raging on meth.

Yeah, I use Ublock on my PC, but I like watching YouTube from my Roku sometimes. Even my Pi-Hole can't block them when I'm watching from my Roku.

Ads play over top of content and make you miss critical parts of stream
Purple screen means you successfully blocked the ads but still miss out on parts of the stream
Midroll purple screens will run 30s blocks multiple times (whatever the ad duration was supposed to be) but you can refresh and only deal with a 30s pre-roll
Meanwhile, it's pushing people to alternatives like streamlink which are a step or two removed from twitch itself. I don't even give it an auth token i just watch as if I'm a guest without an account and experience no ads. But since it's removed from twitch I have to weigh whether I want to bother loading up chat, or sub, or interact in any way since I'm already disenfranchised from using the twitch client itself. Effectively they are pushing people to no longer use features that make it "the twitch platform" and instead treat it like a youtube video.
The end result there is.. why not move to youtube or another platform and at least reclaim SOME features back without the assholitry? Twitch's desired model right now is to have viewers miss out on content for the sake of ads.

If your were watching someone that raided the stream you might still be registered if you didn't click the "Leave" on the popup, even if you closed the stream before the raid happened.
Their algorithm also specifically tries to redirect gift subs to people to "get them to come back" and maybe continue the sub with their own money in the future. So someone who isn't a regular with a gazillion channel points is likely to receive those. Yes, that does mean they are screwing over followers when someone drops a 50 gift bomb it is not an equal chance spread out among current viewers.

That’s happened to me multiple times. Got a gift sub to Arcadum’s channel after watching a “D&D” session.
On a side note, I tuned in for a Callous Row session (basically LARP using VRchat) and he was DMing a session that had Chandler Riggs (Carl from Walking Dead) as one of the players

The system "remembers" viewers for awhile, I don't know exactly how long but at least for days. That's why sometimes you'll get a gift sub for a stream you aren't watching and/or don't remember ever watching, this happens way more if you leave a tab or two open and the streamer(s) raid multiple times.
What does it do if someone gifts 1000 subs to a stream with less than 1000 lifetime unique views? No fuckin clue.

You can be gifted additional months, it's rare and probably because of a condition like that
