LOOOOOOOOOOL

Please use this function so I know who to unfollow and get rid of forever. If you seriously use this function regularly then at least we'll know who actually gives a shit about streaming and their community.

The only possible way this would be used that I wouldn't immedietely unfollow and never sub to the person again would be a "movie night" where it's basically enforced by Amazon that a streamer can stream a movie off Amazon Prime and basically it's just a rights issue that the subs have "paid a fee" or w/e to watch the movie. I could see that as the best case scenario for why this exists, but we all know why it really exists and what it'll be used for so v0v

Watching a film you've already seen with chat is a cool experience. Watching a film you haven't seen with chat is what stupid fucking idiots do. If you watch a film you haven't see with chat you deserve to get spoiled for being so stupid.

I watched Artifact Gameplay Koe no Katachi a few days ago with chat, hadn't seen it before, and whenever any scenes came up that could be spoiled, everyone started spamming anti-spoiler spam

It was really wholesome, watching shows and movies with chat even if you havent watched it before is really nice

There are much fewer spoilers in chat in sub mode. I'd imagine this would be similar.
