Yes, they still count as viewers of ads and the streamer gets a small cut of the twitch turbo subscription money.

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.

That’s interesting! So the more of those subscriptions twitch sells, the more they devaluate themselves towards the advertisers?

Well they get the money directly from the user. In most cases this is more profitable.

For sure! Untill no more advertisers feel its worth to advertise.
