Shoutout Create EventSub Subscription should not require moderator auth
channel.shoutout.create currently requires a moderator/broadcaster token.
This defeats the point of a shoutout; channels do shoutouts exactly because they want other people to notice them. Restricting this subscription type prevents third-party chat applications from informing non-mods that a shoutout has taken place (thus defeating the point of the shoutout)
Please remove the moderator scope requirement on channel.shoutout.create

Obviously I would welcome this, but please make sure that the cost for moderators would remain 0. The EventSub over Websocket max_total_cost is already quite low for users that are in several channels at the same time.

When not a mod, simply omit fields on which moderator created the shoutout. https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub/eventsub-subscription-types/#channelshoutoutcreate
