Twitch continues to deteriorate as a platform because what do you mean I can't TAB OUT TO MY SECOND MONITOR DURING THE AD BREAK

I NEED TO FOCUS THE TAB AND THE WINDOW FOR THE AD TO PLAY??????

I don't understand how anyone can use the Internet without ublock. I have before, and am about to again, change fuel stations due to them installing those stupid ad playing pumps.

[-] Damarus@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah but uBlock can't or at least doesn't block Twitch ads, so that doesn't really apply here.

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 3 points 3 months ago

it does but with Twitch it's a constant battle. you can go for days or weeks on end and it'll work great then boom a few days to a week and it won't work anymore until the maintainers figure out yet another way to circumvent twitch ads.

It just got to a point for me where I just stopped using twitch. I mean the site overall and the content/streamers have just gotten a lot worse in the past few years and there's really nothing on there anymore worth watching.

Theirs a script on github to block twitch ads, works flawlessly

Of course it does, I have never seen an ad in Twitch, this is in Firefox, don't know how it works in Chrome with the messed up adblock system 🤷

[-] Damarus@feddit.org 3 points 3 months ago

Sorry but that's just wrong. Ads on Twitch are forced in a way that can't be easily bypassed locally. That's why stuff like Twitch AdSolutions exists. The common workaround is using a proxy server in countries that don't get ads, maybe you live in one of those.

You can add a little string of text to ublock and itll work again. Havent seen an ad nonconsentually in years on there

[-] scbasteve@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Dont say you can do it, and not share it man. Spill the beans

Those are so atrocious. I just found out the closest gas station near my house installed big ass screens on the pumps that are bigger than my largest tablet and have impressively loud speakers. The station previously didn't have any video screens so when I passed by the screen to unscrew the gas cap, and it started blasting the ad I nearly jumped out of my skin.

I don't have a clue where another gas station without the ad screens even is. Blegh 😮‍💨

Apparently car/house keys can fit into the speaker slots and kill the sound.
