When the Superchats work, it’s fucking funny. Hilarious even. But most of the time they’re a disruption of the flow. Maybe have a dedicated section every so often for Super-chats? Like beginning, quarter, middle, quarter, end. And if you’re already doing that then.......shit.

Doug just let me give you my fucking money

I think if you can't figure out how to just do them all at the end or middle or something you should only read $10+ or $5+ super chats so there's less of them

Who's Right

The biggest issue is that - because of the service we use, the superchats get buried in the chat and it doesnt allow me to scroll backwards past xxx amount of chats. What I would prefer to do is just leave them until the end of the show and then go through and address them then. We tried that and there were a couple superchats at the beginning of the show that I couldnt scroll back far enough to see.

Yea so I think either switch to streamlabs or something where you can read them at the end, and disable super chats, or only read the more expensive super chats. The super chats aren't that bad the way they are so I wouldn't care that much if they stay the same way but it's good to consider other ways even if you're just trying it for one show.

I feel like a big part of the superchats is the "live" interaction, I wouldn't spend any money if they were read at the end honestly i feel like that defeats their purpose

Personally don't mind it as much in dear flabby compared to regular shows

Some other streamers read superchats over a certain amount live, then catch up to the rest of them at specific intervals. That's probably the best way to go and if nothing else you make a few extra bucks.

nagdaddy

Theres no way you cant find a program that compiles them as they come in for you to read off all at once. Just look around and if somehow that doesnt exist, use streamlabs like someone else sjggested

Most of them are not funny and repetitive. A select few are actually funny

The superchats make it seem less like a podcast especially if you listen on Spotify

Joshua

A bad thing but if that’s what you boys wanna keep doin I’ll keep listening anyway just thought I’d give some feedback

Can't you just up the amount required to have it show up on screen? The occasional super chat was funny, although it's definitely a bit much right now.

Fetish

If you want to try the Ethan Ralph model, look at how he does them during the kill stream so they both get them read but also they don't need to interrupt anything currently being discussed

Peyton

Could be a better way to do it, but for the main episodes in the middle of a topic. A lot of streamers have it set up to appear on the screen and then if there’s a funny or relevant one you could address it. Sometimes it’s just changed that whole part of the show because one of the usual suspects donated a dollar to say dumb shit

Sir Jeremiah Pennybottom

Honest opinion, I feel like you guys can riff on them giving you both more material to work with
