It is not as simple as install uBlock Origin. I have uBlock, it is very easy to install a plugin.

However, every other day the current ad block solution stops working for twitch and you need to install multiple plugins (uBlock, TTV LOL), modify your ublock, or use alternate twitch UI which has no features, and since it changes so frequently I need to manually keep up to date with the changes on github for multiple plugins and scripts. Not to mention none of that works on mobile when you're away from home, I use Pi Hole and it doesn't block twitch ads. The ad block doesn't work on chromecast or other devices.

Their ads are super aggressive, it is literally impossible to surf the website with ads. Every time you switch streams you're served an ad which makes it very difficult to find people to watch or to follow multiple perspectives (I mainly watch RP).

For a few bucks a month I don't have to deal with it and I watch Twitch more than any other streaming platform or social media, so to me it is worth the ease and consistency of use by just having turbo. The only two subscriptions I have are YouTube Premium and Twitch Turbo because I don't get ads and I don't have to deal with blocking them.
