Streamers Turn Off Ads To Protest Twitch Prime Dropping Its Ad-Free Perk

Compared to other online ads, Twitch ads are relatively unobtrusive. But they’re still obnoxious as hell. You tune in to watch your favorite streamer, and then the same 10-second ad plays three times in a row. Unfortunately, Twitch announced yesterday that Twitch Prime will no longer offer an ad-free viewing experience.

Reminds me of this:

Trent Reznor: Has the price come down?

Crowd: No!

Trent Reznor: Well you know what that means. Steal it. Steal away. Steal, steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealing. Because one way or another these motherfuckers will get it through their head that they're ripping people off and that's not right.

Trent Reznor To Fans: "Steal, Steal and Steal Some More"

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor had some harsh words for record labels during a concert at Australia’s Hordern Pavilion regarding Universal Music Australia pricing his album at $30 — apparently a lot more than other artists’ music costs there: “Has the price come down? \[crowd: no\] Well you know what that means. Steal it. \[…\]
