>Channels which set their chats to subscriber-only mode are shooting themselves in the foot.

I think both chat modes (sub and free for all) have their place and time. I enjoy chats that are put into sub-mode, just to read a sensible conversation and have the streamer answer interesting questions, that she otherwise wouldn't have picked up on. On the other hand, some stream chats live off of the chaos that is twitch chat.



Good point. I would amend that to "large events and tournaments with subscriber-only chats are poisoning their own hype."
