Ummm
so thats how they'll stop superchat funding to wrongthinkers,
and do it "morally"
and how they decide what people should spend their money on
Pretty sure that is straight up theft
From both the creator and the commentor
definately for the commentor
so wait? they actually did it?
"You don't get to spend your own money the way you want it, you get to spend it on what we want"
It's worse than that. "You have entrusted us to give your money to this person, but we don't like what you said so we won't give this to the person, nor refund it"
There has to be some kind of finance law they are breaking here
true
this is just gonna make more opportunities for third-party sorftware
we need a lawyer in this discord
Also, they mentioned this over a month ago in an interview with someone. I mentioned it when the article was posted here, but I saw no YouTubers talking about it, idk why.
most don't know i guess?
youtube is just shooting them self in the foot to virtue signal at this point, streamers will just switch to a alternative to get superchat money,
@Dr.Wol Maybe send a tweet to that Laywer that Tim did a podcast with
can't trust a lawyer who isnt part of the Beanie cult in here
lol
People have already suggested YouTube streamers should disable superchats and force them to use streamlabs
also saw comments on that Keemstar tweet like
now people can use superchats to harass creators they don't like
and not pay them, cuz the money will go to charity instead
so you can harass someone and be nice cuz you pay to charity
Its weird
I understand the idea
But dont expect it to work
this just seems like they didn't think it through at all
Like the funny thing is
You can say nasty shit off the supperchats
And thats cool
But saying it in supperchats will steal the money
Like it doesn't make any sense lol
If you say bad stuff you can get banned (i can understand this)
plus the incentive for that only exists if you want to donate to the creator
But why would that mean youtube steals your money as well ?
Also note what some ppl pointed out
its jsut retarded,
Youtubers that wanna do charity drives tend to set up a separate donation for charity thing
Youtube can use this charity donation as tax reductions
In fact you even have that option where all superchats you get instantly get donated to a charity instead
