xQc tells viewers not to sub to him \u2013 and buy Twitch Turbo instead Twitch: xQcAs viewers and streamers alike complain about the increase of ads on Twitch streams, the platform\u2019s most-watched creator, xQc, has instructed viewers not to subscribe to him \u2013 but use the money on Twitch\u2019s Turbo option instead. Twitch Turbo is nothing new \u2013 it\u2019s been available for years. But, it\u2019s never been seen as a particularly popular option, as ads were not a big concern for most viewers, and they could simply subscribe to their favorite streamer instead to get no ads on that channel. But, as Twitch is pushing streamers to run more ads, with new incentive deals, they are becoming more and more of a nuisance to viewers hopping between streams. In some cases, viewers are hit with up to 15 consecutive, unskippable ads, while watching a channel. xQc: Buy Twitch Turbo instead While reacting to one such instance of 15 ads in a row, xQc gave his take on the drama over increased ad rolls on the platform, with some advice for his viewers. \u201cI\u2019m telling you, I don\u2019t give no f**k [about my sub count],\u201d xQc said. \u201cInstead, get yourself Twitch Turbo. Twitch Turbo is wicked. You have no ads anywhere on the platform when you have it. For the price of two subs, you have a sub on every channel across the platform.\u201d Spreading such a message to such a large viewer base likely saw a sharp uptick in Turbo subscribers already. Some Twitch users have also spotted a message on the top bar highlighting that ad-free viewing is available with Turbo. However, for most users, it is still rather difficult to actually find the option for Twitch Turbo anywhere on the site. It is only available at the bottom of the \u2018General\u2019 drop-down menu. Turbo costs $8.99 a month, but there is no regional pricing, meaning for some users in certain localities, the price could be much higher than what xQc describes as just the cost of two subs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
