Sykkuno reveals depressing state of Twitch ads while watching xQc & Pokimane

Sykkuno inadvertently revealed the depressing state of Twitch advertisements on stream after having countless ones pop up while trying to watch xQc and Pokimane play Monopoly.
Twitch advertisements have been a hot topic for years, especially after the platform added what many deemed to be ‘intrusive’ ads in the middle of streams. Some streamers weren’t impressed and even helped fans avoid them. Not a lot has changed since then. Despite being one of the most successful streamers on the platform, Sykkuno was swamped with them too while trying to watch his friends, showing how bad it can be at times.

“All you’ve got to do is swap streams. Open everyone’s up when they’re playing together. Open all of their streams and swap out when you see the ads. Then you can avoid them. Because they’re all playing together anyway.”
Although Sykkuno managed to find a solution in this particular instance, it revealed the extent of how invasive Twitch ads can be. It’s not the first time he’s expressed his frustration about them, either.He also opened up about it in November 2021, saying: “I feel one ad is not so bad, but sometimes I pop into a stream, and it hits me with eight ads in a row, and I’m just like, ‘I wanted to watch the stream, not the same ad!’”
