Nice strawman you got there, would be a shame if someone had a different reason.

10 USD is too much to charge for ad free twitch. I don't WANT to support twitch, their reputation and brand isn't stellar.

They're probably one of the least awful, but I have better places to spend my money. Like the content creators on twitch. I begrudgingly pay twitch to support the streamers I watch and care about. but 10$ so streamers can get none of that... pass, if I care about the streamer, I'll unmute the small window, if I don't I'll close twitch.

Until adtech companies start acting more ethically as a rule. They deserve no consideration. Bad behavior might not excuse bad behavior, but it obviously encourages it.
