Sounds like a win for Twitch - you were costing them money and not giving anything back
Twitch started showing a purple "disable your ad blocker" screen when a block of ads failed to run. I think they probably would have made a lot more money and reduced a lot of churn by simply advertising Turbo instead, which many users don't even know is an option.
Which is the more likely scenario?
1. OP buys bits and throws them at their favorite streamers despite not being willing to pay for subscriptions.
2. OP pays nothing for Twitch and doesn't watch a single ad.
