Twitch continues to deteriorate as a platform because what do you mean I can't TAB OUT TO MY SECOND MONITOR DURING THE AD BREAK
I NEED TO FOCUS THE TAB AND THE WINDOW FOR THE AD TO PLAY??????
Twitch soon: Drink your verification can
Really makes you wonder the addiction people have to watching streams that they aren't immediately leaving the service for good after seeing that.
Copy/paste of the steps i have posted in a friend group discord.
Block Twitch Ads without pausing stream Will not work in Chrome
In Ublock Origin Dashboard
They've blocked Twitch in Korea. I don't miss it.
This ad can't play because I don't watch twitch.
Okay, bye forever!
Can't miss what you never used
Wtf, this is real?
Why the fuck does my browser need to send it the information that its muted or minimized?
Why
Because money
there are many ways of detecting minimized/inactive or not. You can do setInterval throttle detection when browsers slow down JS in inactive tabs for performance reasons.
I need everyone to look at what you can do with HTML5 "game engines". You want mouse poisiton? You want to know if the mouse is in on the page or not? Internet speed? Audio card codec?
If a 13 years old using the free version of construct3 can do it, capitalism can do it.
This is why browser games don’t tend to work in Librewolf. Also why I use Librewolf.
Firefox has plugins to spoof specific tabs as always active.
You should link them so more people can find them easily.
The name Twitch sounds like someone going through a withdrawal from powerful substances.
Joke’s on them, my computer doesn’t even know whether it’s muted or not.
(I used to have one of those until 2015, when it broke down. Never ever found a replacement. By that point it was yellow, not white-gray lol)
Them bitches let ya know if you were getting a text. Loved that shit.
What's the alternatives? Non-self hosting, and you know what, self-hosting because why not
Owncast is the self hosted stream thing. It has some rudimentary federation capibilities, but nowhere near the ease discovery of twitch.
I know some streamers that have an owncast, expired_popsicle uses debian Linux and has one. (It's tech/linux streamers because of course).
If it is publicly-traded, it will be enshittified. This is an ironclad, inviolable law.
I don't care about any platform enough to be abused by it.
Fuck I though this was a satirical shitpost but it's real. This seems like the last stop before that patent about yelling the company name to get back to your content...
I dropped them like a bad habit when they first implemented the advertisements. I have never looked back.
"Avoid minimizing or muting for a better experience" Wow, this is beyond nuts.
If i was a Twitch user, i'd dump this right now.
doesn't amazon own twitch? It's no surprise that they're enshittifying at an alarming rate.
"for a better experience" lmao
i hope the IT stock market crashes so hard
Reminder that Sony has patented technology to force viewers into saying a certain phrase in order to continue past an advertisement. Sure, it sounds dystopian, but just look at how excited the little consumer is to enthusiastically shout the name of one of his favorite corporations!
Mentioning this without including the verification can story should be illegal
The more the internet progresses the more I feel like text only browsers are the way to go
TODAY, on BLACK MIRROR EPISODES in Real LIFE
I kid you not, there's this BM episode where they train on indoor bikes and sleep in pods and have to watch the ad on the screen lest it screeches at them
