    I think its simply that its a completely different medium. People dont want to be up to date with a video, and they also aren’t fine with missing a part of the video.

    With a stream, you simply never get the parts that were overtaken with ads.

      That sounds awful, does the viewer or the streamer get any control over when the ads show? Or could they literally cut out the best part of the stream?

        The streamer can trigger ads early to time them, but ultimately does have to show ads. They can also decide on whether there are pre-roll ads.
