Why is it that while watching the SCC I keep having to miss the end of important games because chess.com wants to show me another ad? Why am I having to watch ads at all. Isn’t no ads part of a premium membership?

The primary stream is from Twitch.tv which is a separate client from Chess.com (and thus Twitch has its own ads and subscription service).  Something to keep in mind: in the last couple months, Twitch released an update where ads may play automatically without control from the streamer.  This was a controversial change, and your dissatisfaction is warranted. 

Alternatively, you can watch their YouTube stream where ads are much less of an issue: https://www.youtube.com/user/wwwChesscom.

Thank you for this link. Never again will I waste so much of my life watching mindless ads that randomly interrupt the games. If I were affiliated with Twitch Tv I would be ashamed!
