The chat section for the actual livestream is disabled, but the comic adds some humoristic examples of what the chat section would look like. Several of the examples are the product of commenters falsely believing the livestream is that of a game, probably since most livestreams on youtube are of people playing games; Randall is joking about the viewers of said streams in particular not being able to tell the difference, as well as youtube commenters in general. |
+ | Randall mentioned the ridiculousness of comments on YouTube before in [[202: YouTube]] and [[481: Listen to Yourself]]. | ||
− | + | Randall states that he likes to view the stream and commends them on disabling the chat section. | |
