Should #bighit Limit Weverse Live To Paid Members

For more personal stuff:
________________________________________________
Should Weverse Live be exclusive to paid members? Let's explore the pros, cons, and fan reactions. #BigHit #Weverse #KpopCommunity

[lexybaginsky]

No.
The only people punished by this are ARMY who can't pay or don't have a credit card.
Haters and Antis have enough money to send wreaths - they won't stay away.
Toxic solo stans and shippers will pay anything to be heard.

It won't solve anything.
Moderators are the way to go.

[letitiajones]

No. Theyll just pay for the membership and still throw hate.

I think Bighit needs Mods for the Lives

[elaineOiwish]

I don’t use Weverse but I understand the need to limit access for hateful comments BUT it is kind of a punishment to fans that can’t afford to pay for all the stuff. I think having at least 2 moderators that control what can be said…and 1 to help the artist pick out questions and comments that the artist would want to not miss. Comments come very fast. Put also on delay….ban ppl that are disrespectful

[Toyskram]

They need moderators and a stricter paywall. When I watch the live at this point I just shut down the chat. Unfortunately the members don’t have that option.

When Weverse was first announced I was hoping it would be more difficult to join--similar to their old fan cafe. By anyone with an email being able to join and post there are horrible things being posted all the time (hate, spam, etc). There needs to be way more moderation of posts or some way of screening people who are joining. In regards to the Weverse lives I agree that comments should be limited to fanclub members, or some sort of time delay. Yes, there will still be some haters, but it would significantly cut down on the amount and it would be easier to trace and block the offenders.

I pay the membressy but I really think that the vlive must remain free for everyboday to see it haters are gonna hate anyway

[charzemc]

If ARMY have to pay, it limits the access they can have & could result in the loss of fans & could be prohibitive for the joining of new fans.
These haters have sent many wreaths which proves they have the money to pay to comment also.
Restricting live comments would play into the haters hands, if they can't express the malicious thoughts, they would be more than happy to see Army losing out too.

[alipotter]

I am sorry but with 20 million people watching, even if you have 1000 or even 10, 000 haters, solos and shippers commenting, it is still a drop in the ocean. That doesn't make it right but it comes on any platform with such a big viewership.
If bad comments are found during or even analysed after a stream these users must be BLOCKED FOREVER from Weverse. They need to draw a line and get rid of the trash.💜

[patmacrander]

No, I can't afford the membership fee

[alanhigh]

Comments to members only - let people watch but it will cut down the negativity. I agree with other that have said having Moderators

[queenrosered]

NO. It's not fair to allow haters to cause real Army to have to pay to see their guys! There are many other ways to deal with comments. The guys are NOT babies. They know how to roll with the punches when haters show themselves.

[shellykoch]

I say no to both watching & chat
I know it can be hard on the guys & I hate that for them, but there are a lot of Army's that can't afford it. They have always blessed us with being able to watch & listen to their music

[elizabethbesco]

BTS first took to Weverse to connect with Army's. BTS and Army have a cymbiotic relationship. Blood energy love transfers back and forth through these live interactions. It hurts to watch haters win in limiting Army's access to interactions.

[tasha]

To protect the members yes!!! I understand some will not be able to pay but it's for the safety of the members.

[Mamasoniasita]

I think it should be included with a paid membership and a lower tier for those who only want live translations and for those who can’t afford they would either rewatch later or follow along with live translators like those on Twitter. There is ALWAYS a work around you have to sometimes put in the work. Like I can afford it but won’t pay when I can follow along for free on Twitter.

[sharonhope]

I fully agree with only paid Army membership being able to join in the chat as a way to monitor what's going on - moderators are a good idea as well but that means the group members will have to do this as a scheduled thing that BigHit know about, rather than the random lives that JK does as an example. Would still appear to us as spontaneous but behind the scenes they [Bangtan] will have given BH a heads up for a moderator to be on hand. If it ends up being part of the digital membership, I and many like me, will never see lives in real time - I have Army membership but that's the limit for me at this time. It is a dilemma - and I do agree that the anti's and the haters will find a way to circumnavigate things - that said - any obstacle/s put in their path are better than none.

[ann-archist]

The company should go through the comment archive and ban users who leave offensive comments. Block their IP addresses so they can't create new accounts. That way they'll be blocked from interacting with their own faves weverse account as well

[treciasaunders]

The haters are a variety of people and children. As other artists move up the haters will increase. This is something that should be handled by the company if need be. Personally I don’t think they pay attention to the negativity because they are use to this and pay it no attention.

[KIMBTS]

Yes, but you have to give your real ID. So if they post hate HYBE can find them.
