Twitch continues to deteriorate as a platform because what do you mean I can’t TAB OUT TO MY SECOND MONITOR DURING THE AD BREAK
I NEED TO FOCUS THE TAB AND THE WINDOW FOR THE AD TO PLAY???
This ad can’t play because I don’t watch twitch.
Okay, bye forever!
Can’t miss what you never used
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
- My filters (tab) --> Add twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad)
- Select Apply
- Settings (tab) --> Scroll to bottom of page
- Check I am an advanced user
- Select the cog to the right of the text I am an advanced user
- At the bottom of the page, locate userResourcesLocation
- 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
Really makes you wonder the addiction people have to watching streams that they aren’t immediately leaving the service for good after seeing that.
They’ve blocked Twitch in Korea. I don’t miss it.
Wtf, this is real?
That doesn’t sound like my concern. Ads, everywhere, all the time, for everything, does sound like my concern.
The name Twitch sounds like someone going through a withdrawal from powerful substances.
I’m so old I think of this
What’s the alternatives? Non-self hosting, and you know what, self-hosting because why not
Owncast is the self hosted stream thing. It has some rudimentary federation capibilities, but nowhere near the ease discovery of twitch.
I know some streamers that have an owncast, expired_popsicle uses debian Linux and has one. (It’s tech/linux streamers because of course).
Why do they keep shooting themselves in the foot? Will enough people put up with this shit to keep them in business?
I dunno, I haven’t looked at the site in probably five years or longer, but maybe they think they can hold out long enough that the next generation will just accept this is how it is? Is that the plan?

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.
Seeing those was one of the more dystopian experiences I had when visiting the US a while back. The entire concept was absolutely insane to me.
What maybe surprised me the most is that they weren’t vandalised. Like, if my nearest gas station had one of those you can bet that I would get a ski mask and go smash them up at night when the station was closed. After a couple rounds I can only assume they would get the message and stop installing them. I’m honestly surprised that people doing just that isn’t more common in the US.
Apparently car/house keys can fit into the speaker slots and kill the sound.
Some of the fuel pumps have a hidden mute option. The 2nd button from the top right usually mutes them for me.
I’ve tried all the buttons with no luck. But also, I’m just going to vote with my wallet and stop doing business with them for doing stupid stuff like that.
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.
And here I actually thought that this shitty idea would stay in the realm of Black Mirror…
“Drink verification can”.
what is that from? it sounds familiar
4chan greentext
It’s a greentext from 2013 apparently. It can be found on reddit, and I’ve seen it here, but I doubt I could find it.
Turned out to be real easy, I uploaded in another comment.
Pretty sure it’s from Futurama.
It’s from Demolition Man. An 80s sci-fi/action movie.
Oh, right! As everybody knows, 2013 was years before the 1980s decade, and so this is the original source that inspired the movie!
I don’t recall that in demolition man. I just watched it a month ago. I’ll turn it on tonight
as an aside, that’s a great movie.
No its not.
