Doja Cat baffled after learning Twitch won’t let her viewers watch ad-free

Doja Cat was surprised and frustrated when Twitch prevented her from removing ads during her Fortnite stream. However, many viewers expressed their support and wished more streamers would follow her lead in trying to improve the viewing experience.

Similar to other artists, Doja Cat has started streaming on Twitch and quickly gained a large audience, now with over half a million followers.

The rapper, famous for her unique style and catchy music, went back to streaming on Twitch in February and mistakenly shared her email address with viewers. A few days later, on March 1st, while playing Fortnite, people watching complained about how many advertisements were being shown.

She promised her viewers she’d remove the ads immediately, wanting to make things better for them. But she quickly realized it wasn’t as simple as she thought.

Twitch viewers want more streamers to be like Doja Cat

In between singing and rounds of Fortnite, Doja explained that she needed help disabling ads.

She asked her audience how to remove advertisements, wondering if the solution involved her subscription settings or account badges, or something similar.

She quickly discovered that due to her partner’s verified creator status, she was limited in what she could do.

She asked, confused, “What does that mean?” Then she continued, “So you’re saying we can’t remove these ads? Could we at least limit it to one ad per hour?”

After experimenting with her account settings, the rapper managed to reduce the number of ads displayed. She then asked her audience if her outfit was too revealing and if it could lead to her being banned from the platform.

Videos from the stream quickly became popular on X (formerly Twitter), gaining millions of views. Many viewers applauded Doja’s choice to reduce advertisements, and a lot of people wondered why more streamers don’t do the same.

why can’t all streamers be like this 😭

Some creators use a lot of ads, while others prioritize a smooth, uninterrupted viewing experience for their subscribers.

CaseOh often stopped playing during important parts of his game because viewers who didn’t pay for a subscription were getting stuck watching ads. He explained his reasoning when paying subscribers voiced their frustration.

Asmongold didn’t start earning money from his second channel for months, and he only did so because Twitch was losing a significant amount of money by covering its costs.
