mods should DEFINITELY not be allowed to chat

they can read people's entire chat history which obviously feels like **** for everyone, the sword looks incredibly ugly, as it's on a very basic level a celebration of segregation, discrimination, unequal rights, unfair privileges, hate and arbitrary violence; for the most part, it's like we have the most unethical security guards in the universe (at least 50% of them are openly racists, the entire thing is based on a "master race" sort of interpretation of reality) being on stage in front of the musicians, ruining the show just by being there, and randomly throwing boiling water on the crowd based on their mood and for completely random reasons

twitch is the most morally indefensible place on the internet just because of that: actual criminals are in a position of authority and power

it's a complete and total disaster; at least as far as music is concerned, which is most of what i know about twitch but OH BOY DO I KNOW IT WELL

so your choice is very clear and very simple there, guys: you accept that twitch stands for hate and discrimination and is fundamentally built to reward bullies and people with zero moral guidelines, or you change that **** to turn it into a place of love and understanding and peace and harmony instead of this ******* dystopian game of who's going to be the biggest piece of **** of them all and harass a weak and vulnerable streamer long enough for them to just handle them the keys to their entire ******* life for eternity

it's really a sad, sad thing and you have a responsibility to fix what is a terrible, terrible mistake, and by doing that, the chance to save those people's life

i'm serious

the idea that mods are saving the planet is the most ridiculously and insanely stupidly toxic concept of all time; it's not only making everyone's life miserable, it's sabotaging and hurting oh-so-deeply so many streamers life who end up trusting those people because Twitch told them to, when they OBVIOUSLY really, really shouldn't

now if you're telling me that the occasional bot-raid or what not and the extremely rare actual need to delete a message justifies their existence, I can ear that, but that doesn't justify in any way them ruining a chat by spamming NRA commercials in a "Heil the master race" sort of vibe

like holy ******* **** this looks so incredibly bad and twitch music has ZERO chance of developing in any meaningful way in that context and for that exact reason and they're all gonna end up jumping from a sinking boat at some point and go on youtube or X and that would also be quite sad because the twitch music community has so many bright sides, it's a wonderful thing and a wonderful place, deep down, and it should flourish and allow for artists to flourish but it's not because Chat is Unbearable and Physically Unwatchable. Streamers are paying infinite money a bunch of morons to make sure that anyone chill and reasonable who's not a mentally ill spamming maniac and doesn't believe in arbitrary violence just goes away; new people arrive, reasonable people leave, because this part is just so unbelievably dumb and ends up making everything else taste like ****

I spent over 50K on twitch, i'm not sure what's the exact number; i feel OK about it, I love these people and they deserved it

if i'm not the biggest financial supporter of twitch music of all time, then there can't be too many people ahead of me

twitch music has the potential to be the greatest, biggest thing in the history of music, and the only thing able to compete with the rise of AI music

but it's not going to achieve any of that in the current "only bad vibes" framework

weapons suck, we don't want weapons at a concert; looks gross, sounds gross, feels gross; mass surveillance sucks; violence sucks (99% of the time that i witnessed a message being deleted it was a bad and unfair decision that made everything worse because DIALOGUE BEATS VIOLENCE), the entire thing sucks and makes no sens

so maybe we use our brain now

and we make it beautiful

-Mods should either not exist or hide
-Maybe keep it to only 1 special badge and change the ******* logo at least for the music section, please: it looks incredibly disgusting in that context

maybe the sword is fine for videogame streamers

it never was, nerver is and never will be fine on a music stream (only exception is ThreeThirty_ maybe but that's a pretty special unique case and there are thousands and thousands of douchebags that are not him)

Think about it.

I'm not suggesting you should be politically engaged against monarchy and racism; you've built an entire anti-democratic and anti-universal chat model and maybe that's what twitch is and always will be, i don't know; what i'm saying is: it's making music strictly worse, it's making musicians life strictly worse, they're all in a terrible mental health state and the fact that they're immersed in the mind of the most unethical and distasteful people on the planet (which is the one and only way to get to that position, by being a disrespectful spamming egomaniac) seems most likely related, and it's costing them money and on a fundamental, structural level, it's costing Twitch money because twitch music could be at least 10 times bigger if it wasn't intrinsically toxic and immediately unbearable to most people

nobody likes the police, certainly not at a concert, and you know who really, really don't like them and are ******* nowhere to be seen in the music community? black people; authority sounds bad, it looks bad, and feels awful, authority is how unfair laws and unethical people with a violence and empathy issue end up making everyone's like miserable in so many contexts, in real life, all around the world, in a very, very real way

the entire idea was just bad thinking from the beginning, but you don't necessarily have to change everything, just give them a big time out and tell streamers to make all their friends VIP instead, except that one dude who really wants to read people's chat history and delete messages but is then, logically, fairly, not allowed to ruin everything by spamming on top of that ridiculousness

Thank you for your time. I appreciate the work you're doing and there has been a few cool changes and improvements and I respect that. But, yeah, once again, as far as music is concerned, everything is a meaningless detail next to systemic spiritual misery in a very direct, concrete and factual way. Those are not my opinions. This is an objective description of reality. Help musicians. Fix chat. Be a positive voice for society. Be a force for good. You're obviously not, right now. But you could be.

Maybe at some point we should only have AI being allowed to delete messages and read everyone's chat history. Maybe.

Maybe people are equal and should be treated as such. Maybe universal peace and love is a good idea. Maybe.
