it's genuinely nice to see all creators have access to these features but I do agree with the common sentiment of asking what benefits does twitch actually provide to getting affiliate now. and although affiliates and above can receive pay-outs i feel as though that's not really much of an incentive anymore to actually reach it. it mostly feels to me like a way to get more money into amazon's pockets 🤷‍♂️

@CeruleDraconis @TwitchSupport Now non affiliated streamers can experience super long ad rolls as well.

@pinkypanther @TwitchSupport i wonder if they will have access to being able to control how their ads run or if they will be essentially be forced into pre-rolls which would probably hinder brand new creators growth. 🤔

@CeruleDraconis @pinkypanther @TwitchSupport I can confirm we do not have access to control Ads.

@TheJavaHacker @pinkypanther @TwitchSupport hmm that's concerning then, were they pre-roll ads?
