Hi there, I wanted to share my frustrations with this approach.
I have my twitch channel embedded on my webpage, no adblockers installed, and I get this purple screen really often - about adblockers. Which I’m not using.
This should really be disabled until Twitch figures out the right way to target adblock users. I don’t care what the technical or business reasons are, this should have been rolled back as soon as this issue was reported.
If the intended goal was to tell people with adblockers to knock it off, then this is a technical failure since people without adblockers are getting it.
If the intended goal was to tell everybody, regardless of adblockers, that they shouldn’t be using adblockers, then this is a business failure because that’s incredibly stupid.
It’s very reminiscent of watching unskippable anti-piracy messages on DVDs that I legally rented/owned. It’s obnoxious and everybody hates it. I hate it as a user, I’m sure you hate having to respond to the upset users, who on earth wants this?
Whatever suit demanded this clearly didn’t have the repercussions explained to them. Please take whoever demanded this and make them try watching an embedded stream, so they can authorize whatever budget/manpower is needed to roll this back.
