> Why don't people just pay the $10/month if you consume enough for ads to annoy you?

What if you believe that ads are even unacceptable once if you watch twitch rarely?

Then you do not use the service, as that is the terms of the agreement.

Is it? Maybe twitch could make the terms more easier to understand. As it stands, it's a wall of text, almost nobody will consider. At first glance, I don't see any clause similar to what you suggest.

It’s clearly the intended exchange. It doesn’t have to be literally in the legal “terms” to affect your assessment of fairness.

I don’t tolerate ads; I don’t choose ad-supported services.

Yes, you are of course right. The comment was maybe a bit too passive aggressive. Sorry about that. There are more things to consider than just the terms of service and a moral or implied obligation of course extends past twitch and amazon to the content creators.

I wanted to point a bit toward the moral failings of the service providers themselves, which are many, in regards to ads and, in particular, tracking.
