It’s free after you pay for it.
It’s a one-time fee that you pay monthly. One-time in that you pay one time a month.

This is Kumail Nanjiani's best work.
Doesn't work on Twitch for me (using Firefox). I've had some success using 'Purple Adblock', but it works by connecting to a public proxy in an ad-free country for the duration of the ad - so it has issues during peak and can get you stuck in a loop
It's never worked for me either, but I don't find them too intrusive in most streams.
That said if I'm watching a Warzone tournament I usually just pop out the mini player in Firefox's PIP and listen to that. They get their money and I get to keep watching.

That doesn't work on Twitch for most people, unfortunately.
TTV LOL PRO however is an open source extension for Chrome and Firefox that does work.
It doesn't work out of the box but will work if you use scripts with it.

I use that (follow the ublock steps) and have not seen an ad in a while.
There is a FOSS ad-free twitch client for Android https://github.com/twireapp/Twire

Go ad-free for free! Just give us your credit card number so we can charge it when you're not looking!
Seriously, why isn't this illegal yet? Why has this fallen to the private sector? WHY DO I HAVE TO GIVE A COMPANY MONEY IN ORDER TO STOP GIVING MONEY TO COMPANIES WHOSE SERVICES I'M NOT USING?
That's why with modern payment systems they give you a code and you send them the money. Credit cards made more sense before cell phones.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was illegal in EU.
Just had my yearly car maintenance at the local VW shop. They've started passing on the credit card processing fees to the customer. It's only like 3 or 4%, but it made me use a debit card instead of a CC. Guess that's where we're at now.
On the one hand I completely understand and agree with businesses that do this. CC fees take a huge chunk out of your bottom line.
On the other hand, I'm less likely to go there a second time unless I really, really, really like your business.
For my barber, I will gladly pay in cash.
There's a convenience store that charged me the 3% at check out. I left everything on the counter and went the extra mile or so and went to a normal grocery store.
It's not "free" it's Free™
Maybe $11.99, they won't actually confirm that till checkout
This is normal though. I get 25% vat added whenever i shop online outside my country. Other countries have less or more vat. They can't tell for sure, before you checkout because you may be ordering while not at your home country.
The really interesting question is, are they removing revenue from channels? Are you really supporting them by going adfree? Do the users who pay this still count as viewers of ads even though they don't see them?
Nitro users count towards ad views and show as regular users.. basically to count as a viewer you have to have the video running, doesn’t matter if the player or tab is muted.

Yes, they still count as viewers of ads and the streamer gets a small cut of the twitch turbo subscription money.
"free" as in "available"
yea, but at the top of the email it says "go ad-free for free"
Yeah, honestly this logic doesn't make sense
“If you pay for this subscription, we will stop showing you ads for free!” like- this is part of the subscription, how is it free lmao
Didn't it used to be that at the grocery store, if an item is advertised on the shelf for a different price than what it scans for, they give you something like half the difference? But there's no code of ethics like that on the interweb.
Yeah in the uk I think if something is advertised at a certain price the shop has to sell it for that price - certainly happens fairly regularly at supermarkets
That isn't actually true. The price on the shelf is considered to be an invitation to treat. By taking the item to the checkout you are offering to buy it which they can reject. In practice they will sell it to you for the price on the shelf but this is not the law
Oh cool yeah seems pretty obvious that they would be entitled to refuse the sale. Definitely see it in practice particularly at supermarkets tho tbh
Now how much goes to the content creators?
twich is for billionaires
Sooo... onlyfans lite
Ita worth it for me, I watch tons of twitch and ads are annoying. I don't have to mess with anything or deal with twitch updating stuff breaking extensions etc.
