> i.e. burned-in sponsorship logos

This is actually not something that is banned but they do call it "limited". One of the images on the tweet[0] shows that "On-stream brand overlays are limited to 3% of screen size." I'd imagine the mention of "banner" advertisements is for logos which take up more than 3% of the screen.

Somebody on twitter pointed out that twitches own example of an overlay that is 3% of the screen, seems like it may exceed 3% of the example image, not by a whole lot, perhaps it is 3.5% or so, but still... Be interesting to segment and measure.

Like honestly, I feel like most people have trouble conceptually 3% of the area of the screen. Like I see a stream with a sponsor logo over a small portion, and without literally counting pixels, knowing is something is 3% or 5% does not seem easy.
