The first time I watched and listened to this, I made the mistake of actually watching it and paying attention to all the superchat retards. Incredibly vapid people, just no respect for others. And then they go and spew useless aphorisms.
When you incentivize people to be heard by paying, it's an exercise in regression toward the mean. A necessary evil to support the content. I wish there was a better way.
It would be a mistake to dismiss the entire chat outright, though - there's an occasional nugget of gold buried in that pile of shit. One can tell the streamer is aware of this dynamic as they read out chats out loud for free if there's something of value posted. "See, this guy didn't have to pay to be heard." serving as a counter-force to retarded superchats.
