adds a delay so you can see chat like the streamer

This indeed feels like a awful user experience, but one feature I would consider coding is a visual line in chat that tracks how far the streamer has seen. Some sort of red line in chat that keeps coming down according to the stream delay. We can extract the real latency from the player so that we can keep it accurate at all times.

I feel this would be pretty impractical as when you go to chat you would be replying to messages posted a while back.

The truth is that we should not provide any estimation of where the streamer is reading.. it's too ambiguous to be accurate, and places us as a source of blame if the broadcaster doesn't read someone's message.
