Turn and face the strange.
Twitch Prime is a pretty good deal. You get free games, in-game goodies, monthly subscriptions, and so on. But one aspect is going away soon: ad-free viewing. As Twitch explains it:
As we have continued to add value to Twitch Prime, we have also re-evaluated some of the existing Twitch Prime benefits. As a result, universal ad-free viewing will no longer be part of Twitch Prime for new members, starting on September 14.
Twitch Prime members with monthly subscriptions will continue to get ad-free viewing until October 15. If you already have an annual subscription, or if you upgrade to an annual subscription before September 14, you will continue with ad-free viewing until your next renewal date.
All other Twitch Prime benefits, like monthly channel subs, monthly games and loot, and chat badges are not changing.
The long and the short of it is that they need that sweet, sweet ad money to keep the gears moving. That doesn’t, however, mean that ad-free viewing is gone forever. You can still get that with Twitch Turbo. You, uh, just won’t get it with Twitch Prime anymore.
