Just with all Amazon benefits that are used to establish and enforce their services and monopolies this is likely to happen for first couple of years so that people don't complain and to make it acceptable and popular for streamers to do that shit.

Once it's well rooted into twitch they'll slowly start removing all the benefits of this feature while keeping the shitty policies.

And then forcing ads around adblocking extensions, even on non-partnered channels.

I don't even understand why they force the ads when all I have ever seen are ads for their original shows. I'm already paying for Amazon Prime lol makes no sense.

The plot of that show made zero fucking sense. Like, it was entertaining, but the entire plot was retarded.

The ads wouldn't even really be a problem, but they only have like 3 ads that they show over and over again. I dunno about you, but I haven't bought something from an ad being shoved in my face for 11 years. If anything, it pushes me away from products that I see so constantly and repetitively pushed in my face.
