If folks were using the pay version instead of the Adblock route they might spend less effort on it tbf

Also this way your favourite content creator gets paid as if you saw the ads

See that’s funny, because I’m on twitch everyday and I subscribe to half a dozen streamers and always get a little annoyed when I go to other streams where I don’t subscribe and have to sit through the pre-roll ad.

I had no idea twitch turbo existed.

It's kinda weird they never really mention it. Not great for selling ads if all the people with disposable income don't see any ads I guess

Down the line it could go the way of the cable - you will see ads even if you pay.

Premium users are a perfect segment. They already shown they are willing to spend money.

Yes, I suspect the people who can afford to pay for these services are exactly the people the advertisers are targeting. Without them the free part of the model would fall apart.

Down the line unsubscribe from Turbo and go back to using Adblock then I guess
