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

"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.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 7 points 23 hours ago

doesn't amazon own twitch? It's no surprise that they're enshittifying at an alarming rate.

I wish I had an account so I could have the satisfaction of deleting it right now.

"for a better experience" lmao

i hope the IT stock market crashes so hard

[–] romanticremedy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 22 hours ago

Doesn't say "your". They probably meant "shareholders'"

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

The phrase "For a better experience" activates me like a sleeper cell to be highly alert to whatever product it came from and assume it's trying to screw me out of my money, attention, privacy, or all three.

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!

[–] moonshadow@slrpnk.net 65 points 1 day ago

Mentioning this without including the verification can story should be illegal

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Some patents are a crime against humanity.

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.

[–] Damarus@feddit.org 96 points 1 day ago (16 children)

Yeah but uBlock can't or at least doesn't block Twitch ads, so that doesn't really apply here.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it does but with Twitch it's a constant battle. you can go for days or weeks on end and it'll work great then boom a few days to a week and it won't work anymore until the maintainers figure out yet another way to circumvent twitch ads.

It just got to a point for me where I just stopped using twitch. I mean the site overall and the content/streamers have just gotten a lot worse in the past few years and there's really nothing on there anymore worth watching.

it wont block twitch ads, they add it to thier videos, so it somewhat unblockable. i heard its expensive, thats why google doesnt do it.

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 🤗💖

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.

LOL, fuck your brainwashing.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Soon enough social apps will use your selfie cam to track your eyes. Ads will only play when your eyes are engaged and pause if you're not looking at the screen. Oh boy.

Same with TVs, the built in camera will see who's watching, and Netflix, etc, will stop streaming when it sees 5 people watching when your account is only set for 4. Either one person leaves the room or you upgrade to continue watching.
