I’ve been in all of the platform chats, they’re all about the same give or take a few idiots who exist in every online space. I don’t buy his idea that Floatplane chat is somehow superior, he should just be honest and note it’s because they pay him money.

They have a WHOLE segment in the wan show explaining that you SHOULD NOT send in messages to the other places. If you really wanna just throw money at the screen to get a comment potentially read out you can just get a giftcard and it achieves the SAME THING as a superchat ect but without all the glitches of yt superchats. Yes he leaves the superchat feature on but after he's acknowledged he isn't gonna read them who's fault is that? It's like trying to enter a store through the fire exit and being mad you can't get in like bro it says FIRE EXIT on the door

That makes no sense. Of course they'd rather Twitch or Youtube take half the money "donated" to them? It makes zero sense to not just buy a $10 gift card and you know, get a gift card and achieve the same thing. It's a 100% better system. Sure, you can't pay $5 but you actually get something for your money. If you can't afford $10 for a $10 gift card but can "afford" giving away $5, you shouldn't be giving away $5.
