It's incredible how many Twitch viewers don't even know that Twitch Turbo exists, and that Twitch itself has done an terrible job of promoting it.

Twitch is impossible to watch with ads.

I got ad-free Twitch years ago with Twitch Prime. And then they added ads back in for Prime users. How long will it be until they start adding ads back in for Turbo users?

Twitch Turbo only has two tangible selling points AFAIK:

1. No ads 2. 90 days to store recordings of your live streams instead of 30 days.

I think if you take out that first selling point no one would buy it.

My theory is that they would rather get more individual streamer subs for $5 and the streams do all the advertising for these for them as a plus.
