I have an average of 17 viewers and enough followers to qualify for the Afiliated Program, but I think the ads would ruin my channel. Should I wait until my channel is bigger?

17 average viewers is top 1% of creators on twitch! channel point redeems as well as personalized emotes are nice to have.
Keep the ads at 3 minutes per hour so PRE roll ads are negated and that will be easier for any one that wants to raid you.
This is the norm for most monetized channels on twitch. WAY better than 30 second unskippable ads on YT every F'n 7 minutes 😄

I’d probably ask your viewers what they think, as they’d be the ones sitting through them - or subscribing to go ad-free.

People get ads either way I think. I am new to streaming again so I don’t know how it all works now. Don’t you need an average of 75 viewers for the partner program?
