Comment on Not real... *for now*
PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 3 days agoDoesn’t work on Twitch; They embed the ads directly in the stream.
Alternate Player for Twitch on firefox makes the stream load for a few seconds and makes it a little pixelated for a few seconds, but I’ve never seen an ad on it, and the feed is nearly continuous.
Twitch adblocking could use a few more solutions, though.
You can make a black screen to cover up the ads, you can’t skip it, but you can avoid seeing it.
Also, regulation.
For instance you’re not allowed to advertise alcohol in Finland. One time I saw someone else’s stream or something which made me realise I’ve never seen any beer ads online really.
Look up Twitch Ad Solutions, there’s a github page where you can find a couple different options. The Alternate Twitch player another commentor mentioned is what I use because I like the adjustable chat and auto-collect bits feature

Oh, is that right? I basically only watch 1 channel and I’m subbed, so I guess I just never noticed… I tried to get an ad on Twitch for the past 30 minutes watching several streamers though and didn’t get a single one.
