YouTube to reduce ads during livestreams for select viewers: What it means for users

YouTube is changing how ads appear during livestreams. With this new update, the YouTube streaming platform owned by Google is set to minimise interruptions in some scenarios. The streaming platform has stated that it will no longer display as many ads to users who financially support creators through Super Chat, Super Stickers, and gift features.

With this update, there will be temporary “ad-free windows” in some scenarios, such as after a user purchase or when engagement levels are high. This update will not apply to all users; it will depend on certain criteria.
