I don't understand how anyone can use the Internet without ublock. I have before, and am about to again, change fuel stations due to them installing those stupid ad playing pumps.

If it is publicly-traded, it will be enshittified. This is an ironclad, inviolable law.

Why the fuck does my browser need to send it the information that its muted or minimized?

Didnt you guys watch that black mirror episode? It was exactly like this. Look away from ads and you get punished.

This ad can't play because I don't watch twitch.

"Drink verification can".

Okay, bye forever!

Joke’s on them, my computer doesn’t even know whether it’s muted or not.

For a better experience?? Actually hilarious.

I don't care about any platform enough to be abused by it.

TODAY, on BLACK MIRROR EPISODES in Real LIFE

I kid you not, there's this BM episode where they train on indoor bikes and sleep in pods and have to watch the ad on the screen lest it screeches at them

FUCK YOU TWITCH 🤗💖

Copy/paste of the steps i have posted in a friend group discord.

Block Twitch Ads without pausing stream Will not work in Chrome

In Ublock Origin Dashboard

1. My filters (tab) --> Add twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad)
2. Select Apply
3. Settings (tab) --> Scroll to bottom of page
4. Check I am an advanced user
5. Select the cog to the right of the text I am an advanced user
6. At the bottom of the page, locate userResourcesLocation
7. Change it from unset to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/master/vaft/vaft.user.js
   • If there is already a URL: At the end of the existing URL, add a space and then the above link

Reminder that Sony has patented technology to force viewers into saying a certain phrase in order to continue past an advertisement. Sure, it sounds dystopian, but just look at how excited the little consumer is to enthusiastically shout the name of one of his favorite corporations!

Twitch soon: Drink your verification can

"Avoid minimizing or muting for a better experience" Wow, this is beyond nuts.

If i was a Twitch user, i'd dump this right now.

Please drink verification can.

"for a better experience" lmao

i hope the IT stock market crashes so hard

The more the internet progresses the more I feel like text only browsers are the way to go

for a better experience

LOL, fuck your brainwashing.

Fuck I though this was a satirical shitpost but it's real. This seems like the last stop before that patent about yelling the company name to get back to your content...

Twitch is a SOCIAL website, you chat with the streamer and they chat back. All these ads do is interrupt the conversation and it’s SICK to me. It ruins the entire experience. I don’t mind the pop up small ads, but the full screen ads with sound just trashed the entire conversation. Always seems to happen when I ask a streamer a question then BAM 6 full screen ads when the streamer starts to answer me. No, I’m not paying for turbo or a sub, I’m f*ing broke right now.

I dropped them like a bad habit when they first implemented the advertisements. I have never looked back.

Really makes you wonder the addiction people have to watching streams that they aren't immediately leaving the service for good after seeing that.

Looks like it's a decade old problem and the solution isn't super clean.

"After this Pepsi ad, go buy a can and scan the barcode to continue watching the show"

They've blocked Twitch in Korea. I don't miss it.
