Well, so much for considering a return to twitch as an entertainment option
I’ve tried nothing, and I’m all out of ideas!
Laughs in adblocker
Twitch keeps dodging ublock origin
Adblock is more than ublock
What have you found that works on twitch?
personally i’ve had few issues with Twitch Alternative Viewer
Streamlink
What I find stupid is that people will keep using it after all the shit they are doing. I mean, it’s twitch, you can live without it. And yet, people will accept this bullshit and keep going because the alternative of changing platform is just too bothersome for them. In the end, I’m starting to think we have the internet we deserve.
So many platforms are like this. I think it’s because content creators their business tied into these systems.
If the viewers dry up they’ll stop being paid and leave.
It’s on every user to dump the platform.
Don’t underestimate the power of inertia.
I only use it for in-game drops once in a blue moon and even then it’s on 160p with no sound with two ad blockers on, minimized in the background. So even if they somehow serve me ads I won’t see them lmao
no way, people will just leave twitch for another streaming platform, kick and youtube exist and many stream on there and if your lucky, your favs never took an exclusivity contract and already multi stream.
Yeah a website should not be able to tell where I am looking at or if my audio is muted or not.
But Bezos needs more money right, because he doesn’t have enough yet.
Blame the browsers for creating the APIs.
You mean Google.
No, I mean they all decide to adopt this shit.
These tools can be used for good applications though. Why punish good developers when bad actors are the problem?
There is no valid need for this API.
This API can be used to suggest users take breaks if they’ve been using a site for a long time.
The exact same API exists in desktop environments; it’s just part of the progressive OS-ification of the web.
yah but the problem is that other streaming platforms exist, and a fair few streamers multi stream so…
jeff might not have thought this through.
Avoid minimizing or muting Twitch for a better experience.
Avoid enshittifying Twitch for a better experience.
We’re getting closer and closer to this:
Holy fuck it’s real
rofl why does the patent have the viewer stand up and cheer it
to show those people with difficulties standing who the real bosses are
This voice feature is ableist against… paraplegics!
That’s a full boycott from me, dawg.
Not even once. I’m good watching recycled twitch clips wherever they crop up. Fuck your business model with a pitchfork.
I must be lucky, I’ve not seen any ads on twitch.
Also, I don’t use twitch.

same for chrome based browsers. an API that should never have existed in the first place.
I think the real alternatives are Peertube or Owncast, because they are non commercially and FOSS and can be self hosted and federated.
In the long run, every commercial platform that has enough users will enshittify, that’s just capitalism. That’s why we have to break the cycle and reject corporate social media.
Solution: stop using Twitch.
The best life hacks are always in the comments
I already saw this Black Mirror episode
That’s gonna take a whopping 10 lines of userscript to defeat, hell I already had to use one to stop them from dropping the video quality when unfocused (so I could watch streams in PiP properly)

Feels like a definite mile marker in our descent to Idiocracy.
This is Black Mirror, not Idiocracy. If you can only relate to reality through fiction, at least use the appropriate one.
I hate to tell you this, but black mirror may be in our rear view mirror.
Like, die in a fire Twitch! That’s some unhinged behavior which made me delete my account, and I left some pointed feedback. Not that they’ll care, but, fuck those fuckers!
