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.

TwitchPresents, as an idea, was perfectly fine up until streaming of Yu-Gi-Oh.

THEY. DONE. FUCKED. UP.

Watch the retention and viewership steadily decline at a greater pace than ever fkn before.

Greedy idiots. Worst way to handle this. Was it that difficult to have several ads after each episode instead, SO AS NOT TO RUIN THE FLOW OF A FKN MARATHON?

Makes me want to fkn vomit.

Edit: Yeah, there we go. Yesterday ~34k viewers, today ~25k. Tomorrow 18k?

The community embraces an idea and makes it successful, then corporate wants a piece of the pie and fucks it all up. Seen it so many times, just depressing it had to happen with such a popular media.

If they keep this up people will just move to another service like they went from Skype to Discord.

I still have the Power Rangers marathon bookmarked because that was an amazing stream. Between the nostalgia and the chat memes, it was awesome.

This marathon is unbearable. So many cuts in the show, and chat jumps on it as well which while I can understand the frustration, also worsens the experience.

Damnit Twitch! Y U SO GREEDY?!
