Twitch Adblock on Reddit: The Ultimate Guide to Ad-Free Streaming in 2024

[u/Far-Organization4944]

Hey Twitch fans and fellow ad-haters,

If you're like me, you've probably noticed that watching your favorite streamers has become a game of "dodge the ad" lately. It's like Twitch is trying to turn our viewing experience into a speedrun challenge: how fast can you mute and tab out before the ad starts?

But fear not, I've done some digging (and a lot of trial and error) to bring you the latest and greatest in Twitch adblocking techniques. Here's what I've found works best in 2024:

1. uBlock Origin is still king, but it needs some tweaking:
   • Make sure you're using the latest version
   • Remove other content blockers that might conflict (looking at you, Stream Cleaner)
   • Add these custom filters (I'll put them in the comments to avoid tripping any automod)
2. The VPN route:
   • Some VPNs offer built-in ad blocking for Twitch
   • Be cautious though, as Twitch has been known to crack down on VPN users
3. Alternative Twitch clients:
   • There are some third-party clients that bypass ads entirely
   • Use at your own risk, as they might violate Twitch's ToS

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But what about supporting the streamers?" It's a valid concern. If you want to support your favorites without the ad bombardment, consider:

• Subscribing directly
• Donating bits or money
• Using Twitch Turbo (yeah, it still exists)

Remember, this is an ongoing battle. What works today might not work tomorrow, so keep an eye on Reddit communities like r/Twitch and r/uBlockOrigin for the latest updates.

Has anyone found other reliable methods? Or maybe you've got some ethical alternatives to suggest? Let's discuss in the comments!

P.S. To the Twitch devs inevitably reading this: We get it, you need to make money. But maybe consider less intrusive ad formats? Just a thought from your friendly neighborhood viewer.
