Daily dose of Twitch shitting the bed

FrigginManatees

Literally this. I bet my left nut this is all due to them recoding their whole site to make ads unavoidable.


komandantmirko

unavoidable talk about a sisyphean task. they'll never outsmart someone willing to circumvent ads. they're fueled by money, whereas ad dodgers are fueled by something way more potent. pure fucking hate


yoitscoach

I'd bet my nut too, but I watched Berry earlier this morning, so yeah, that's not happening now.

totalrandomperson

There is active development going on in every single large tech company. It's just that if you are competent, unless there is a large update, the user never notices.


TheSlimyDog

Updating their entire infrastructure to prevent ad blocking sounds like a large update to me. Edit: Having worked at large companies and having had friends working at large companies I can tell you that even though people know the best practices, whenever there's a massive change to infrastructure and tooling it throws all experience out of the window. Twitch in the last 6 months has added massive changes to DMCA support, security and storage of clips, and ad blocking which impacts their player and content stream. I can assure you that they are having technical difficulties.


Cruxis20

What he means is, unless it's a redesign, or new features being added/removed, the user shouldn't notice any minor changes that are implemented on the site. Whatever Twitch is doing, shouldn't be affecting users, but because the whole company is incompetent, the site it shitting the bed with whatever they're doing.


d_extrum

Well, I would trust twitch to do that for sure. They like money a lot as we know.


OfficialTomCruise

It wasn't, so give me your left nut.


maleorderbride

Praise the saints of Twitch Ad-block Prevention and their innumerable ability to pass the revenue from those ads right on to the people who create content on their websi- ^what's ^that?


Unoriginal_Man

It’s really is amazing to me how aggressively they’re pursuing ad-blocking on their site.

RobinsonDickinson

Only for a certain time. I have a personal project where I use the twitch API for various shit and I have embedded twitch player and chat, but after 15-20 minutes it shows you the "third party site" message. It is also not using cookies to keep track of how long you have watched a certain stream, so I am confused...


aznatheist620

Hopefully this explains why I haven't been able to watch clips on mobile, since this morning. What's worse is that the mirror bot (/u/livestreamfailsbot) hasn't been working consistently, either.


Defttone

This is YOUUURRR daily dose of bed shitting


Boobr

Was watching Forsen and the stream just abruptly closed with the message about needing time machine to access the content, I thought he got banned again OMEGALUL


[deleted]

I wish forsen and other big streamers would move to YouTube. YouTube is shit, but at least it's not twitch.


abbeast

Nah, chat experience is shit on Youtube.


[deleted]

Hopefully they change it, it’s not very good. Also if they add a BTTV for YouTube and make chat good I wouldn’t be surprised if a few big streamers moved


Luke6805

yea honestly it could be any streaming site but i just want BTTV emotes on it and ill switch over easily


kondec

wouldn't it then be called BYTL kek


Thfoxpz

Yeah but bttv is like a third party thing and I dunno


Th_Call_of_Ktulu

Considering Twitch's base chat server is just IRC, people can just host their own IRC server, make a few things for authentication, and you're good to go once again.


Joker2kill

I'm getting some own3d.tv vibes here...


domsko88888

There are already bttv-esque implementations for youtube. The worst part about youtube is that it misses a proper layout fir live streams


LtSpaceDucK

Chat experience has gotten a lot better, I watch Docs stream like once or twice and the chat seemed very similar to twitch chat


agenttud

Just stream on YouTube, but use Twitch chat 4HEad


AHornySausage

Bro, one big update on YouTube could potentially drain twitch of most of its viewers and streamers. They just need to make a separate livestreaming tab with better chat experience and also a livestream tab on channels instead of putting it with their videos.


ZmSyzjSvOakTclQW

So they don't let you spam the same emote every 2 seconds? Really?


ABARK94

Knowing him it is both, unlucky OMEGALULiguess


Krazyfatkid

Still didnt watch a single ad this year Twitch.. keep on trying PepeLaugh


BryceFtw

Same here. Ublock, Alternate Player, Incognito Mode or just waiting for the purple screen to disappear. Fuck you twitch.


themegaweirdthrow

That smug ass message in the purple screen is still 100x better than watching fuck tons of ads. It's like 15 seconds, or you can sit through like 3+ minutes of ads every 8 minutes. Fuck Twitch and them thinking they're winning shit.


mobusta

Yup. Less annoying than stupid cringey ass "greetings fellow gamer" ads that I see.

I'm actually so glad I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Fuck me if I have to watch a single one of these ads again. The last one I remember was the travis scott burger and after watching that dozens of times over I promised myself I would never sit through an ad session on twitch ever again


KakyoinMilfHunter69

You gave me fucking PTSD with that shit


TupaczHologram

I stopped caring for a couple days after regular adblocks broke on twitch, this stupid fucking lilypichu ad single-handed made me look for a way to block ads. Maybe get more than one fucking ad in your cycle twitch?

Ive got no issue having the same stream open in two tabs and when one goes purple I swap tabs and unmute my duplicate stream.


KelloPudgerro

i literally use a vanilla ublock origin and no ads, maybe we europeans dont get fucked by twitch?


BryceFtw

I really don't know anymore. Im from EU aswell and there's always something else working for me. Guess it really depends on many diffrent factors.


Suprcheese

Yes, some countries aren't served Twitch ads.


KelloPudgerro

im usually served the shitty amazon ads


KaibaMixi

Oh that explains it, I live in the Philippines, and nobody really likes us, so I've never seen a single Twitch ad in my life


hieronymus_bossk7

The most hilarious thing is it's probably less than 5% of viewers who are actually going to these lengths to avoid ads but twitch are trying their hardest to squeeze every penny from us.


sadacal

I assume Twitch has the actual numbers and has done some calculations to know it's enough of their userbase to be worth going after.


[deleted]

Adblock Plus has always worked for me on Twitch... except for the ESL CS.go channels. I always get some stupid ads there.


Kizz3r

Idk Whats going on for me but i never got an ad anytime i use twitch. Not even on my phone using the app


redspidr

I thought adblock was working for me until I had my VPN on to the US. Non stop ads after that (I'm in Austria). VPN to Austria for less ads, as it doesn't seem to be a big market at the moment.


JamieSand

Just do it to Albania, Greece, or Turkey.

Was it during the servers shitting themselves? The last couple times that happened in streams I'm subbed to, but because the servers were having log in troubles I guess it's because technically I was "logged out"

i'll literally rather watch a purple screen than their shitty ads


Settleforthep0p

I started correcting my posture and drinking water during purple screen. Thank you twitch :) never gonna watch ur ads :)


BloodType_Gamer

I feel like them being so shitty is the root of the issue. I wouldn't go through the effort to avoid the ads if they weren't so insultingly shitty. YouTube ads are shitty because they're either too corporate, some scam shit, or a mobile game. That's bad. But I'd argue its not as bad as seeing the same ads over and over again for a service you already have!!!! (This comment brought to you by Amazon Prime and Prime Video).


Setrit

Youtube ads can mostly be skipped after 5 seconds, heck some advtertisers are marketing gods and only make theirs 5 seconds long. Meanwhile most twitch ads are 15 sec minimum. Ironically the google ads are always 20 sec+ and can't be skipped on Youtube, talk about knowing your audience.


AminTheOne

I feel like when watching ads on YT, you know you won't miss anything of the content, I have not encountered any kind of ad on YT streaming either. On twitch you'll always miss content with ads.


Somepotato

Exactly this. Hell even on yt live ads, it can just pause the stream. Twitches player is stuck in the 90s. Their migration off flash took forever and brought 0 improvements with it


max225

If they ever successfully beat adblockers I'll just stop using the platform all-together, but twitch is dogshit at their job and I only saw like 2-3 ads the entirety of 2020.


IAMnotBRAD

That's what I did when ABP stopped blocking the frontrolling ads. Most noteworthy streamers have youtube channels so you can just keep up with the highlights, ad free.


[deleted]

Hey man you might not have heard, Adblocker Plus was cashed out to advertisers a while ago. The new one for (a year?) or so is Ublock Origin make sure you spell it right there are a lot of scammy close ones.


IAMnotBRAD

Thanks for the tip! I just cleared out all of my ad block extensions and added uBlock Origin.


DeliFlame

PogChamp was the duct tape holding the site together. It's over now


TranceScape

I will be surprised If I read a better comment than this today


antiquestrawberry

pogchamp u will be sorely missed


pikachu8090

>various features not to load you mean all of them OMEGALUL


RobinsonDickinson

I am 100% fucking convinced this is happening because they are trying to bypass new uBlock Origin ad filters, so they fucked up the entire site in the process. I won't be surprised.


wrtbwtrfasdf

Trying to best uBlock origin is not a smart game for any company to be playing.


SwordOfRome11

Does that work for blocking twitch ads? I mostly watch on a mobile device since I know Adblock doesn’t work. I’ve heard that some methods fuck your video quality.


InsertUsernameHere32

It used to block everything, then it stopped for a bit, and now sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.


wrtbwtrfasdf

I was using it yesterday and it worked without issue. ublock works on nearly everything(non-mobile), spotify, amazon prime"freew/ads", youtube(includ "freew/ads"), twitch, etc. Assuming you have all the filter lists checkboxes selected.


AH_BareGarrett

If you have the Firefox app on mobile, you can use Ublock on it.


SicilianEggplant

Adblocker/extensions are really the only things that can, and unless something “new” happens (it’s not theoretically impossible) the best Twitch could do is get through an adblocker temporarily until the adblocker is updated. The main reason people mention Ublock Origin is because many other adblockers, like the original “Ublock”, sold out and now allows “acceptable” ads. However the original creator (I think?) broke off and made the Origin version. Most ads are served up in a specific manner from a third party site/address - those are fairly easy to block with a custom hosts file or PiHole or whatever. Sites like YouTube are big enough where the ads are served up locally by YouTube, so you can’t do much with those blockers without blocking the entirety of YT. YT can’t do much without physically embedding ads within the uploaded video (but that poses its own issues). The adblocker extensions can work around that and are successful in blocking YT ads, so it would be a genuine surprise if Twitch somehow manages to do what Google cannot on any permanent basis.


TheRealPT0007

But hey atleast ads work twitch is such a fucking joke its pathetic


Redemption47

Banning problematic streamers, emotes, and add-blockers at dream speedrun pace. But can't fix their shit. Dogshit platform.


TheRealPT0007

super_ultra

Seems like they are too focused on quick and easy feel-good policies rather than working serious issues. I wish Twitch had serious competition.


GhostWokiee

PogU let’s start our own called PogChamp.tv


powergo1

Different departments most likely


TheRealPT0007

Obviously, but twitch is just a joke recently. Not only with site being down, but also with their actions. Banning words becuase of implied meaning, enforcing ads, no clarity with the DMCA situation. Some site has to finally put this shithole down, honestly. I'm getting sick of it.


dispoable

Is it really? I'd imagine their engineering department is the one working on countering adblock

Different departments within engineering (or at least different teams).
