The guaranteed 30 second as on stream load was the final straw for me. I used to wander around the music streamers channel but ended up with as much as time viewed as the actual streams.
ad block works on twitch. Even the DNS only blockers that you can get for iOS.

That's why, if you're going to pay someone 100 million dollars, you make sure they're the kind of person who won't quit first.
Which means you're selecting for someone so covetously greedful they put the dragons of legend to shame with their avarice.

Lots of game streams with no one watching them, sure. Meanwhile "Just Chatting" is by far the largest category. And the biggest channel on right now is a pretty young woman in pajamas.
The #1 woman streamer on Twitch is Amouranth who's known for fanservice*, but the #2 is Ironmouse who's a bedridden vtuber and is never even going to show her face. * but says her abusive boyfriend made her do it for money

I’ve talked to my friends about this (we all have young children) and they had no idea softcore porn is prevalent on twitch. Not to mention actual adult stars regularly streaming. And before anybody replies “and whats wrong with that” blah blah, parents still think of twitch as a place where kids can watch minecraft. Twitch is playing with fire here.
I've seen one or two adult movie stars streaming on Twitch and they're known for being relatively polite. I mean, they don't need to act out for attention the way pro streamers do.

My main problem is that frankly youtube streaming is technically better, I hoped twitch catches up but I still can't just pause a stream and "catch up" like on YT, watching archive of currently playing channel (say esport event) is also royal PITA. On YT I can tune hour late, then just jump back to match that happened, watch it, skip the intermissions and catch up, on twitch that's much more complicated. > - Softcore…
The comments and community feeling in Youtube streaming sucks. Ludwig who made the switch a year ago from Twitch to Youtube said that was his biggest nuisance with Youtube, and I agree. I stopped watching him because of it since there's more fun to be had on Twitch. Twitch is more like a bunch of monkeys which is fun and builds hype. Youtube is too serious and the chat is too slow for the streamer to properly interac…

Twitch will never stop the softcore porn because it's a huge source of revenue and they DGAF that they are serving softcore porn to teens. Honestly I don't care that teens watch cammers or porn, but it's toxic to the platform to have it share the same site, and that also allows payment to be shared and basically makes it way easier for kids to pay cammers, which is super weird IMO. I also really dislike the encourage…

We have onlyfans for the other stuff, do they need to mix it?
I've been a Twitch user since its first year. I have a select few streamers I watch, and I spend more time on the platform when there are new releases for games I personally like. But, I have been very in-tune with Twitch culture and I know how disorganized it is when it comes to "big" streamers. However, my issue (and also disappointment) with Twitch right now is: - Softcore porn allowed on the platform. Literally,…
The most infuriating thing about Twitch ads is that it insists on running a thirty-second pre-roll ad. This is a platform where the focus is on liveness and immediacy, where you're very likely to open a stream because what's happening right this moment is interesting (e.g. a speedrunner on world-record pace), and then that same platform forces you to miss out on that live moment. Literally any other form of advertisi…
I exclusively watch speedrun streams, and from what I've seen it works great for those. No more preroll ads, and if the runner is paying attention to their ad schedule, they run a big block of ads for when they breaks to stretch/eat/use the restroom/etc, or during downtime like reset-heavy and cutscene-heavy earlygame sequences, so you don't miss anything.
It's a significantly better experience than the normal preroll ads and random/timed midroll ads, and from what I've heard it sounds like Twitch pays more to the streamers who use this system as well.
