Yes, it's for the anonymity. The notices I've gotten from my ISP have threatened consequences with multiple violations.
I use u-block origin for my popup blocker. Generally there might be one ad when starting a stream, then nothing else after.
Some streams are spotty. I usually hunt around the top 2 or 3 until a solid one pops up.
Again I would like to have a decent experience for pay. But I'm not going to pay $250 for 6 or 7 games. I may as well drive down to the sports bar for beer and wings for those types of prices.
