MODERATORS
It's the same as the regular subscription benefits, just permanent.
It's not permanent, but lifetime. When they go bankrupt, they'll just eliminate those subscribers.
But how about those benefits. Is there caching or no?
No, there isn't.
There are a lot of gated features, the most useful of which is a low quality proxy that transcends CGNAT and Firewalls when you really need to share a video but don't have a real ip.
Gating hardware encoding is a pretty dick maneuver IMO.
