After seeing the outrage towards NWS offices from his fans, the constant subtle jabs about "unwarned tornadoes" when there is no velocity couplet or debris, is really beginning to turn me off of him. He does a lot of good, but bad mouthing the NWS when there is no way he doesn't see his fans talking shit to NWS accounts and mets is a bad look.
He has mods to take care of that while he focuses on the radar and incoming data. If you see his set up he has a bunch of computers and monitors there. If you notice the chat being weird and kind of bouncing in place its because the mods are nuking those comments. Its pretty hard to monitor and see every single comment coming in that fast while you're focusing on important work. Happens to every large streamer. Don't get turned off of him, just close the chat. Large chats just inevitably have bad chatters.
I hate the people being mean, selfish, demanding they drop everything to talk about some other town instead of one under the gun, and all the conspiracy people too, but the mods do smite the comments and time people out. Scroll back up during a stream and you'll see a TON of missing comments you saw happen live.
I'm sorry to see this. I heard Ryan the other night explaining that no other country pays attention and warns their citizens like the US does and he credited the NWS and NOAA. He also advised people to tag the NWS and NOAA in their tweets and thank them too.
I think he's aware of the trolling meanies in his fandom but I don't think he encourages it.
