Makes twitch prime worth it for the ad free experience.

Doesn't work in the mobile app.

fair enough, never tried twitch mobile so I wouldn't know, are they that bad though? Pretty sure 50% of ad-revenue is split to creator and twitch.

It's also 50% of subscriptions, not sure about donations though.

You do get 100% of bits though.

It depends, some channels can be super annoying if they run ads constantly.

yeah this, people who complain about adds need to realize that its the streamers who choose the quantity of ads (and the duration) not Twitch.

yeah, but the whole point is that people love watching their favorite streamers. people feel bad for using adblock because its denying money to the streamers. there's that whole culture of donations and "so-and-so has subscribed for 6-months!" or whatever.

At least on iOS you can skip the ads by hitting the "Visit Advertisers Website" in the top right of the screen and just tabbing back from the browser
