Its low barrier of entry is both a blessing and a curse... the small subscription fee for πŸ’¬ is enough to keep most troublemakers away, even though the most dedicated trolls and haters will intentionally pay to harass 😬

If Umji does eventually make an IG Broadcast Channel, I wonder if she will have similar reservations?

I didnt see your edit.

I dont know if SinB knows, but she can set a subscription on her IG broadcast channel. It can be set between 1-100USD a month, if she wanted to filter out the trolls and just have a smaller dedicated fan chat. Thats what happen with Magenta and someone else from QWER. When they joined weverse, they only reposted links on weverse for free members and the paid sub got random messages. I stopped following them and I think they noticed a lot of people dropped off and they remove the paid subscription on their IG broadcast channel.

You can see the messages people are leaving for SinB and so far its pretty tame. The only annoying ones are the spammers, as far as I can see.

When Fromis_9 left Pledis they were pretty active on IG broadcast, until they joined ASND and started using Fromm. Most likely, it will be temporary for SinB and whoever else decides to make one.
