Use adblockers. UBlock Origin on Firefox or a Firefox fork works well.

UBlock doesn't work on Twitch for me. So yeah, this is me when an ad is playing. Mute and ignore.

I'll never buy this stupid product. I won't support this stupid company. Ads don't even work on me. Ooh, I'll have to remember that next time I'm shopping for a blanketsweater.

Add vaft script to ublock. It works for me https://github.com/ryanbr/TwitchAdSolutions#scripts

For unencrypted streams, Alternate player extension works (and I prefer it to twitch's player) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitch_5/

For android, patch Twitch using Morphe https://morphe.software/

Ads that cannot be skipped

That was a rhetorical question. Why anyone would watch these on Youtube for example is beyond me.

There's too much overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest AIs.
