And those ads usually are for stuff that isn't even relevant to me at all.

Like some more AAA garbage and such.

Yeah, their variety of ads is so small that I can't imagine they do much if any targeting at all.
You're right, but isn't that mostly because twitch is 90% gamers?

I mean sure if you had 100 streamers playing chess it might make sense to have a dedicated ad sales team doing targeted ads for chess fans. But if you've got like 4 chess streamers at any given time? Easier to just give them ads for gamers.
