VOG Roundtable 9/16: Twitch Mid-Roll Ad Announcement Discussion & Reaction
Rob Roberts (@RobRoberts) sits down with VOG Co-Founder Bobby Blackwolf (@BobbyBlackwolf) to discuss the recent announcement by Twitch that they plan to start putting ads into streams. Is this something that is here to stay? Are there negotiations or alternatives we want Twitch to consider? How do we make sure as content creators we control our content? We discuss all this and more!
Note: After this Roundtable was recorded on Wednesday evening, Twitch Support put out a tweet indicating that the mid-roll ad test has concluded. However, we feel this discussion still has value, as Twitch clearly is looking for ways to have more ad revenue, and we do present our thoughts and alternative ideas in our discussion.
