This post made me laugh . Thank you <| sep |> I am not implying any uselessness on your part and apologize if that was inferred by my lazy comment . During streams you are busy doing a plethora of other things including flying , charts , managing systems , talking to ATC , listening to ATC , etc . It would be nigh impossible for yourself to completely moderate all the comments on your stream . However , that is what mods are for . I know you have more than enough mods in your chat as I have watched a lot of your streams love the content BTW . It is just odd to me to see that if there is anyone new in your chat , maybe new to your channel or flight sims in general , they will have to pay $ 5 to talk . This could be anything from talking to other viewers or asking questions which new guys could have plenty of . Paying just to chat is a barrier that many will not overcome . I do understand that leaving chat open , there is a risk of trolls . Honestly though it is an easy enough task for your mods to moderate the chat without completely smacking down all the other voices in the process . But I do know that this is your channel and ultimately your decision . I figured I would explain my reasoning as to not make it seem like a personal attack because I do enjoy watching the streams and videos . Hell , I just spent 13 hours downloading the 747 preview video so I could actually watch it as my current internet is about 200 kbps on a good day and limited on data . I ' m ready to do it again for the next one too .
