Twitch continues to deteriorate as a platform because what do you mean I can’t TAB OUT TO MY SECOND MONITOR DURING THE AD BREAK

I NEED TO FOCUS THE TAB AND THE WINDOW FOR THE AD TO PLAY???

    Those are so atrocious. I just found out the closest gas station near my house installed big ass screens on the pumps that are bigger than my largest tablet and have impressively loud speakers. The station previously didn’t have any video screens so when I passed by the screen to unscrew the gas cap, and it started blasting the ad I nearly jumped out of my skin.

    I don’t have a clue where another gas station without the ad screens even is. Blegh 😮‍💨

      The ones around me have a big old mute button and I’ve gotten into the habit of hitting that button as gas starts to flow so I don’t hear more than a second or two of whatever garbage they’re playing

      The pumps around here in the middle state have all muted their ads or at least have the volumes turned way down. When I drive somewhere else they catch me off guard.
