Twitch is unwatchable on AndroidTV now

by FromThatOtherPlace

Want to watch a stream? AD

Want to change stream and see what another streamer is doing? AD

Need to reload stream? AD

Srsly. Watching on PC gives me no ADS. uBlock is probably blocking them? Why did they have to ruin AndroidTV twitch viewing like that :(

Edit:

I have found a workaround that gets NO ads 100% of the time. I wont post it here as apparently you guys love seeing a Jack Ryan ad everytime you open a stream. Enjoy!

how old are you? ads are a thing for free platforms in order to make money. I understand not liking the ads so get Twtich premium and then you won't get ads.

Use this app instead, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0und.s0undtv&hl=en_US

I have Pihole setup on my network so I don't get ads in official app either but S0undTV is much better.

If you use the Twitch Kodi add on on Android TV you will see no ads. It's available from the official Kodi repo.

It's no different from YouTube as far as ads go...you're watching for free, they have to make money somehow.

Complaining about a 10 sec Ad, yet expecting content to be completely free. Stop being so entitled and expecting everything under the sun for nothing. These companies need to make money to continue their service.

Wait for the ads on home screen and inside OS as Google plans for the Android TV.

Android users treated as second class by whole industry.

You could always run network-wide ad blocking from your router. I have it on my WRT32X with OpenWrt installed.

Guess you aren't a prime member?

I have zero interest in ANY prime original tv series. So this type of AD is just annoying being forced down my throat

I will NEVER watch these shows amazon so please stop
