Twitch ditches ad free viewing for prime members

No more universal ad free viewing. This is gonna be annoying.

but you can get Twitch Turbo for ad free viewing!!!11

But you can’t subscribe for free to a twitch streamer. This is very anti consumer. This is probably them realizing that letting people with amazon prime get a premium membership on twitch for no additional cost is costing them money

So twitch turbo is ad free, but no sub, while twitch prime is free sub, but watch ads?
I'd have guessed they would have one feature that did both

why are people titling their streams with "!" in front of certain words? is this some kind of new hashtag feature i'm unaware about?

!Youtube links the streamers youtube in chat when you type it
And I can assume that this is the Twitch update thing I saw that I meant to read and just forgot about. I will miss ad-free prime viewing. Twitch has gotten around adblocks in the past

A buddy of mine called it. He said Twitch Prime was just going to be a "free trial" of sorts to get people hooked on certain features and that they'd pull the rug out from everyone and start charging for them again after a while to get people to spend money on features they've grown accustomed to. Looks like it was just a setup to get people to buy Turbo since it really wasn't all that prominent before Prime.

I don't blame twitch. They were taking big hits in ad revenue losses because of amazon free trials. It would have been better to just make the free trials not ad-free but it is what it is.
