Streamers criticize Twitch's Ads Incentive Program (Image via Sportskeeda) has released its Ads Incentive Program, a new project that involves revenue generation. However, the recent update was met with severe scrutiny from major creators across the purple platform. For those unaware, Twitch's Ads Incentive Program urges content creators to run more ads; the more ads they include in their stream, the more they earn. Although the update does allow streamers to earn more money, the negatively impacted viewing experience has not been taken into account. Based on the reactions, the Twitch community has not responded kindly to the update. Various content creators such as Zack "Asmongold", UK streamer Anita "SweetAnita", and Distortion2 have expressed their disregard for the latest update.

Twitch Ads Incentive Program leaves the community disgruntled

As stated earlier, the Twitch Ads Incentive Program has been a poor experience for many within the community. It is unsurprising that the streamers themselves do not want their viewers to have an inadequate viewing experience. The update came on the back of Twitch . In September, the purple platform decided to chalk out a 50/50 revenue split (between streamers and Twitch) for major streamers. This update was met with equal scrutiny due to the lack of financial incentives that the creators were receiving. A few weeks after the 50/50 revenue split update, Twitch has now released their Twitch Ads Incentive Program. The Amazon-owned platform now offers streamers more money when they run ads that run for 5 to 8 minutes per hour. With the recent update receiving significant flak after its arrival, let's look at the reactions from a few relevant streamers. Starting off, was clearly not impressed by the latest update.

The American content creator took to his social media channels to reveal that Twitch was offering him only an additional $10 to run two extra minutes of ad time. Here's what he had to say: I guess everyone is posting these so why not. $10 Extra for 2 extra minutes of ads per hour.
