YouTuber makes rookie error after hiring random mod from chat YouTube: SweeneytvYouTube creator Sweeneytv, known for his own \u201cTwitch mod\u201d parodies, made a grave error in selecting his own for his stream. He gave a random viewer mod powers after his chat descended into chaos, and it only got worse from there. YouTube and Twitch stream moderators hold a lot of power: They make sure they keep the chat clean and stop any bad eggs. You have to trust them as a streamer. So when Sweeneytv, a YouTuber known for poking fun at Twitch and YouTube mods for their policies, selected his own, he trusted his judgment. After all, he\u2019s seen and acted out the worst of them, so he should be able to pick a good one. Someone came into his chat mid-stream and started spamming it up with hateful comments, and his viewers begged him to give someone the power to clean it up. He did a quick interview in his chat and ended up selecting one \u201cThai Nguyen.\u201d It\u2019d end up being the biggest, yet most hilarious, mistake of his stream. \u201cThere were a couple of good resumes, but I didn\u2019t really trust anyone, and then one person named Thai came out of nowhere and said, \u2018I will be the mod.\u2019 That alone, their confidence in wanting to be the mod, I made a rash decision and picked them,\u201d he said after the fact. He tested Thai, asking them to delete someone\u2019s message. The new moderator obliged, and Sweeney even gave him glowing praise after \u201capologizing after deleting a message.\u201d Sweeney was convinced Thai wasn\u2019t the troll. But then, his viewer count started plummeting, and Thai\u2019s true colors showed \u2014 he was the original spammer, and he was banning everyone in his chat. \u201cAll of a sudden, the view count started to go down, and there it was, Thai, spamming in chat, saying, \u2018haha I banned everyone.\u2019 It turns out, in a twist, you would have never expected it \u2014 Thai had everything going for him,\u201d Sweeney said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know Thai was going to be the Judas to the Jesus in this situation \u2014 it was the ultimate betrayal. Everybody in my chat got banned by Thai. There was no more chatters, just Thai. \u201cWith a heavy heart, I had to ban Thai and then go to my YouTube studio and unblock literally every single one of my YouTube chatters and then apologize that I hired Thai.\u201d While Sweeney did end up hitting his goals from the stream and had a great time, he might spend a bit more time vetting his moderators for future broadcasts \u2014 not just a random few questions in chat. \u201cThe moral of the story is don\u2019t hire your mod immediately in chat if you don\u2019t recognize them. I should have known because he didn\u2019t have a profile picture, but I just admire Thai\u2019s confidence \u2014 I thought Thai was going to be one of the good ones. I didn\u2019t expect the betrayal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
