Preroll ads never made any sense… those first few seconds are when you’re deciding whether to watch that streamer or go elsewhere. An ad makes me go elsewhere without the streamer even getting a say.
Some streamers never use ads, but I think the bigger ones are contracted to do so.
100% of the time I do the same thing. I subscribe to 1 streamer max per month and get ad free there, and pretty much don’t use the platform outside of it
I haven’t had enthusiasm for any platform in the last 10 years I think… Except Lemmy, that was a bit exciting. We will see how it turns out. There will be more similar apps coming out.
I open a stream, get a 45 second ad, close the stream, and go do something else. Congrats, you just killed any enthusiasm I had about your platform.

Yeah they definitely have an X amount of minutes of ads per hour in their contract.
