same for chrome based browsers. an API that should never have existed in the first place.
Basically stopped watching twitch bwcause of the stupid fucking unskippable ads… and I’m glad i did, I’m never going back, fuck them and their bs ads. Much more free time :)
ublock origin/twitch ad solutions on desktop, xtra or twire on mobile (for android, at least). either solution blocks ads for good.
I must be lucky, I’ve not seen any ads on twitch.
Also, I don’t use twitch.
We’re getting closer and closer to this:
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
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 stopped going to the theater because I had to pay to watch commercials and advertisements.
I stopped because morons can’t stay off their phones for 5 bloody minutes.
I guess I’ll continue never using twitch.
Lmao fuck twitch
IT equivalent to ‘Eyelids glued open’
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.
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.
Blame the browsers for creating the APIs.
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.
Well, so much for considering a return to twitch as an entertainment option
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.
