Twitch continues to deteriorate as a platform because what do you mean I can’t TAB OUT TO MY SECOND MONITOR DURING THE AD BREAK
I NEED TO FOCUS THE TAB AND THE WINDOW FOR THE AD TO PLAY???
Firefox (fork) + uBlock?
Didnt you guys watch that black mirror episode? It was exactly like this. Look away from ads and you get punished.
You’re gonna sit there and watch those PrizePicks and AI generated Kalshi ads and like it!
Why the fuck does my browser need to send it the information that its muted or minimized?
I need everyone to look at what you can do with HTML5 “game engines”. You want mouse poisiton? You want to know if the mouse is in on the page or not? Internet speed? Audio card codec?
If a 13 years old using the free version of construct3 can do it, capitalism can do it.
You must be using one of those browsers from an ad company.
There aren’t really any others though, every browser these days is made by a company with corporate interests in mind, either their own, or someone paying them.
Firefox has plugins to spoof specific tabs as always active.
You should link them so more people can find them easily.
Because Browsers are corporate-built garbage which are designed with corporate interests in mind, same reason they choose to send good fingerprinting canvas data instead of sending randomized garbage every new session.
It’s been a standard feature for a very long time I’m kind of surprised they’ve only just started making use of it but this kind of thing.
A lot of sites that play sounds will stop when you tap out of them otherwise they’re just plain sounds in the background and that’s kind of annoying.
I dropped them like a bad habit when they first implemented the advertisements. I have never looked back.
I can’t stand Twitch. I don’t mind live streamers’ edited clips on YouTube but watching it live is just such a drag to me.
Nope I also don’t understand the appeal of streamers, even if they are content creators I actually like. The simultaneously huge long pauses while they’re doing something in the background, because no streamer ever seems to be able to get the setup working, and at the same time constant interaction with the comments. I get why it’s like that, but they are always them going on about subs and gifted subs, just get on with whatever it is that you’re streaming.
thier ads are already unblockable , apparently there is a workaround.
Fuck I though this was a satirical shitpost but it’s real. This seems like the last stop before that patent about yelling the company name to get back to your content…

Joke’s on them, my computer doesn’t even know whether it’s muted or not.
Them bitches let ya know if you were getting a text. Loved that shit.
I had that exact model. Had a real satisfying click on the knob when you turned it on.
I think everyone had that model at one point.
LOL, why would anyone be retarded enough to watch?
If it is publicly-traded, it will be enshittified. This is an ironclad, inviolable law.
I feel like what we’re witnessing is just the end of meaningful innovation in the IT field, so now comes the meaningless innovation.

Well, thank goodness Elon Musk took Twitter private, amirite?
Since it’s private, Elon could be content with a steady (adjusted for inflation) annual profit, which would allow him to make decisions that are good for the long-term health of the company.
He just sucks.
If it were public, he wouldn’t even have the option to not suck.
Which is why SpaceX is about to suck once they IPO :(
The original stated plan was no IPO until Mars transits were normal.
Yet another thing Elon lied about. Shocking.
I don’t care about any platform enough to be abused by it.

Mountain doo for me and you.
“Avoid minimizing or muting for a better experience” Wow, this is beyond nuts.
If i was a Twitch user, i’d dump this right now.
doesn’t amazon own twitch? It’s no surprise that they’re enshittifying at an alarming rate.
I wish I had an account so I could have the satisfaction of deleting it right now.
“for a better experience” lmao
i hope the IT stock market crashes so hard
Doesn’t say “your”. They probably meant “shareholders’”
The phrase “For a better experience” activates me like a sleeper cell to be highly alert to whatever product it came from and assume it’s trying to screw me out of my money, attention, privacy, or all three.
i hope the IT stock market crashes so hard
This ^
Wow, so many people put streams on in the background and you can’t even do that on Twitch no more.
safe to say its dead then
