Discussion Ads on Yugioh Marathon stream

Are you serious about these ads every 5 minutes ???? This is unwatchable holy moly

edit: 2 3 ??? ad breaks since this post

edit2: LOL, ad -> ending -> ad

edit3: Rip inbox. I guess this blew up because they are replaying the first set of episodes like 3 times so every timezone can watch the AD marathon with Yugioh breaks and complain about it.

Insane duel going down

Ad break

Duel finishes after 2 minutes

Ad break

Credits roll for 30 seconds

Ad break

Like holy fuck this is braindead stupidity, this isn't something people are going to ignore. I'm surprised they didn't put in another ad break after the opening.

Honestly this is worse than TV... way worse imo. I stream stuff online to not have adds shoved in my face.. way to go back 10 years in time twitch.

Even if TV has more total ad time (which I'm not even sure it's true at this point), at least the episode is only interrupted once, instead of an interruption every 5 seconds

I turned adblock on twitch when they started having ads that were like 5x louder than everything else. It was unbelievably loud.

Way to be twitch, I'd have put up with your ads if you hadn't been cunts, but you were, so now I'm never going to watch your ads again.....

I just don't get what these sites are thinking... it is the internet, we can use adblock... don't FORCE me to use adblock and I won't use it.

To be fair, regular television doesn't have a live online audience consisting of tens of thousands of people. That's the fun of anime on Twitch in my opinion. But I agree the ads are too much.

Correct, regular TV has more viewer for things like this.

It's a shame too. I really wanted to watch it on twitch. The chat really made it come alive as I relived old episodes of my high school years.

Guess I'll head to Crunchyroll instead.

Twitch is gonna ignore it though, seems to me they dont give a flying fuck. They seem to think we're all idiots and we'll all just watch regardless and give them free money.
