    Preroll ads never made any sense… those first few seconds are when you’re deciding whether to watch that streamer or go elsewhere. An ad makes me go elsewhere without the streamer even getting a say.

    Some streamers never use ads, but I think the bigger ones are contracted to do so.

      Yeah they definitely have an X amount of minutes of ads per hour in their contract.
