I love and support this idea, but I wouldn’t limit the number of mods for the account. As a few have said, smaller accounts (such as mine) rely on volunteers to mod, many of whom have jobs or are in college, and who cannot plan their lives around my live-streaming schedule. In the same vein, many of them simply can’t afford to sub to me every single month. However, while abuse by adding everyone as a mod is already de-incentivized (do you really want that many people in chat to have mod privileges?) a better de-incentive would simply be to make the exemption so that you don’t make ad revenue from the ads not viewed by the exempt mods. So unlike turbo where skipped ads are still counted as “watched” by the revenue system, ads skipped through the mod exemption aren’t. So if you make all your viewers mods, you won’t make any revenue and might as well just turn ads off.
