This is up to the streamer.

Either ~3 minutes of ads per hour, or an up-front 30s of ads before you can view the stream.

You would only see >1 minute of ads if they choose the first option and you hit the stream on the ad break.

But I agree with you. I've bounced from many-a-stream due to up-front ads.

I exclusively check out new twitch channels upon getting recommendations or learning from the channel via something like YT, purely due to the ads.

Streamers (like myself) can entirely not opt into affiliate and have zero ads for their viewers.

I heard from another big streamer that you doesn't get as advertised if you decide to do that sadly
