Aug. 21, 2018

Twitch Prime, the streaming service’s premium tier that provides benefits such as free games, in-game loots and exclusive chat badges, is ditching one of its best features: the universal ad-free viewing experience. In an official blog post, Twitch has announced that universal ad-free viewing will no longer be available for new Twitch Prime members starting September 14.

As for the reason behind ending universal ad-free viewing for Twitch Prime members, Twitch explained that advertisement is a key source of support for creators and that ads will encourage them to keep creating more content for their followers.“Advertising is an important source of support for the creators who make Twitch possible. This change will strengthen and expand that advertising opportunity for creators so they can get more support from their viewers for doing what they love”,read the official Twitch blog post.
