Everyone likes different things. It's remarkable you've enumerated quite a long list of things none of which I want in my place-people-upload-video-to. Browser extensions exist to strip things like this out, and New Pipe follows a

Pardon the diversion, but there is a popular new game that is sort of a SimCity/Factorio but populated by beavers after humans died off. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1062090/Timberborn/

I'm normally opposed to typing notifications, but I really like this idea for certain channels. How did you handle the case where many people are typing at once? >5 might get noisy if they all had their own lines.
