Twitch is the same. I don't block ads on Twitch because it's usually just a minute per half an hour to 45min of video. It's even better if the streamer initiates the ad breaks manually, like when they stand up to stretch/walk around, because then I don't even miss anything. That's reasonable and fair, although they do have pre-roll ads and those obviously suck.
Okay now I feel a little bad for blocking ads on twitch if their ads are reasonable. Maybe I should consider adding it as an exclusion?
