    I'm curious, do any of you watch twitch regularly?

    I go through spurts. Have you noticed how agrressive they've been with ads? I do use an extension but sometimes I will use mobile which I don't have a blocker on it

    That's why you use DNS level ad blocker, simplifies the life.

    I used to on my home network but it interfered with some things like news videos so I stopped. Though I really should setup a different WiFi SSID that will block ads, something like MyWiFi-Adblocker so it will be simple. I also used DNS66 on my android tablet which did a great job.

    Presently, I have to do it per device, cause my router doesn't support OpenWrt. At the pace these ads are multiplying, I might have to soon get an OpenWrt compatible router.

    Another option is to get a cheap rockpi or radxa sbc connect it to router setup adguard or technitium dns use the ip as dns resolver in router network settings.

    Thought about that as well. Do have a Luckfox Pico at home, not being used. May require some hardware mod, but, Ig, i could put it to use as an ad blocker.

    Certainly can I have seen guys using esp32 for a custom dns sinkhole.

    That's a good option as well. Those cost like under 300.

    Yup but using large blocklists are no go there.

    Yah, Esp might not be able to handle it. A few months ago, I had the weird idea of setting up multiple ESp32s as mesh points. A quick internet search enlightened me of how idiotic that idea was.

    I just use adguard home or technitium and white label the end point if issues persists with some end points being blocked

    an article on TorrentFreak actually states once you start blocking stuff, it's a slippery slope.. so i personally just vigilantly avoid ads and close popups.. if you good and fast enough - popups don't harm.

    Do you remember why it's harmful to be using blockers?

    @noob404 said:
    LOL! You are wrong on the last part there. He is an expert at that. I sometimes wonder how he manages. I don't wanna jinx it, but, be assured that he will not miss a single post for double bandwidth and will also find the time to reply to our conversations. I have seen him at work for 2 years. Hope RackNerd keeps this up for many more years to come.

    i know.. he = monster. that's why i mentioned earlier he also in the running for the 1st prize, obviously - a joke, and he negated my statement later nevertheless. =)

    Is it weird to say, I am kinda missing last year when I and @Beniskickbutt would wake up to 200+ notifications every day for the month of December and Jan?

    I think Xiaomi AX3000T is a very cheap and capble option to run OpenWrt. I personally use Podkop for PBR to route specific sites through my vpn and block all ads

    Seriously, that's the reason. Having been a regular TF reader, I guess, they might have other reasons. My guess is, because most websites depend on the ads revenue. And no webistes = no web.

    Have never once used Twitch in my life. I am not a huge fan of gameplay videos.

    Aah. I watch some small minecraft streamers and i've been working on starting my own channel too

    Good luck, dude. Also check Kick and Rumble, if you are interested. Maybe try streaming to all 3. Might increase revenue.

    I only started like a week ago, so I usually only get like 1 viewer lol (my friend).

    Well, you gotta start somehwere. Keep going. The first few days, weeks or even months are tough, but, that's what separates a successful person from another who just gave up.

    Yep. My goal is to grow my channel so I can do it as a part-time/full-time job :)
    So far, I really enjoy streaming so we'll see how far i can go!

    Yeah, it seems like the current thing to do is multistream to the various platforms and then post trimmed videos to youtube/some other VOD service after the fact (if you switch games/etc.) to also capture additional views

    Restreamer to the rescue

    for those liking to Twitch, i can only recommend to untwitch

    Tbh, I don't mind having a few ads on sites, but nowadays, sites go absolutely crazy with the amount of ads, making the UX a pain and unbearable without an adblocker!
