Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 15

September 30, 2022.

It was a day when a huge upheaval occurred in the streaming community.

The incident of Rabbit TV limiting South Korea’s video quality to 720p60.

This is commonly referred to as the “720p Incident.”

There were many causes that triggered this, but the core reason was South Korea’s internet usage fees, which were much higher compared to other countries.

Due to the massive losses companies faced from these fees, it became nearly impossible to sustain streaming services without restricting video quality.

Even major streamers on Rabbit TV protested and tried to find solutions, but there was no proper way out.

The company could either keep operating at a loss or rely on the National Assembly to amend the Telecommunications Business Act…

Naturally, both attempts failed, and from September 30, Rabbit TV limited domestic broadcasts to 720p60 video quality.

For people who don’t watch streams, it was just a light headline to scroll past, but it was different for those working in this industry.

Streamers who mainly played high-quality games or were virtual streamers immediately considered switching platforms.

Streamers like Durahan, who only put up their avatar and play low-spec games, could hold on, but for the former, the impact of graphics on broadcast quality was huge, so they couldn’t help but worry.

Eventually, some brave pioneers emerged, and a chain of transfers followed.

Ah, maybe calling them pioneers is a bit much this time?

Because I, the first virtual streamer on Pangea TV, had already established my place.

[This is a side virtual who moved over from Rabbit TV.]

There were unfamiliar stream titles not seen before on Pangea TV.

Some people watched my broadcast, but more had never seen a virtual broadcast on Pangea TV before.

Moreover, from the morning, FM community was ablaze with debates about the Rabbit TV 720p Incident on the competing platform.

Naturally, attention focused on streamers who had transferred as a result.

“Both are familiar nicknames.”

These were streamers who laid the first stones for the virtual scene on Pangea TV before my return.

Both transferred early in the 720p Incident and did fairly well.

They lasted long and had some name recognition.

But I couldn’t see it all positively.

After all, we were bound to become “competitors.”

The virtual pie is small, so no one was going to share it willingly.

It’s an unavoidable adult matter.

Laughing and wishing each other well with pure hearts doesn’t help at all in this fierce competitive society.

“Should I start the broadcast soon?”

After two weeks of mostly calm talk streams, my enthusiasm was suddenly reignited.

Maybe people really do need competition to grow?

I checked the current viewers: 4,700 for Choi Eunbin, who is number one in the virtual tab, and 4,000 closely following in second place, Saedalkom.

Honestly, it looked weak, but earlier I logged in briefly without registering to observe their streams.

When a competitor appears, it’s basic business to investigate.

First, Choi Eunbin used an orange short-haired character.

She started with a 2D avatar, but when the viewers reacted ambiguously, she switched to a 3D avatar.

“3D definitely fits the Pangea TV vibe. That’s why I prepared only a 3D avatar from the start.”

On Rabbit TV, 2D avatars were more popular, and many virtual streamers had unique Role Playing (RP) settings.

The problem was that RP culture didn’t work at all on Pangea TV.

So many streamers struggled to find their footing after transferring.

They thought, “I moved with big hopes, but hey? RP isn’t liked here.”

But they had been streaming with RP all along, so quitting overnight wasn’t easy, especially with loyal fans following them.

Even though I’m not involved, the headache was real.

This is what people call having a “withdrawal symptom.”

Anyway, it’s not my problem, so whatever~

Choi Eunbin’s broadcast had a pleasant atmosphere.

She was as outspoken as a man, had great wit, and interacted well with viewers.

Next was Saedalkom, named because she liked something sweet and sour.

Surprisingly, she was dancing in VRChat.

What? Not MMD, but actually dancing herself?

It was just the early transfer stage, yet she had full equipment for virtual streaming?

Honestly, I was quite shocked.

Already, such a “silver spoon” virtual?

I recently bought equipment myself, and the latest tracker 3.0 costs about 220,000 won each, and the base station 2.0 costs 300,000 won.

The base device, Vive Pro, costs about 1,300,000 won, so to have a full six-point tracking setup, you’d need to invest around 2.5 million won.

Base station 2.0 x 2 = 600,000 won

Tracker 3.0 x 3 = 660,000 won

Vive Pro x 1 = 1,300,000 won

“I even spent all the candy donations I got in two weeks on this.”

I remembered the hardship three days ago.

The equipment arrived, I installed it immediately, and when testing in VRChat, frequent crashes and bugs occurred.

After watching dozens of helpful YouTube videos and reading tips and popular posts on forums, I finally managed to set it up satisfactorily.

“I struggled so much, yet why does she seem so relaxed? It’s annoying.”

During the broadcast, I heard that her VRChat playtime exceeded 1,000 hours.

Haha! I didn’t know—she’s a complete hidden veteran.

Let’s wait and see.

Once I get used to VRChat!

That’s how I made a tactical retreat and reached the current situation.

Come to think of it, Saedalkom was getting crazy candy donations with her sexy dance.

I can’t just stay like this either.

I hurriedly finished the settings and started the broadcast.

[New transfer! Purebred Virtual SeoA appears on PangeaTV!]

#Newbie #Stocks #Virtual #Talk

– SeoHa! It means SeoA Hi.

– SeoA is gay ㅋㅋ Isn’t the broadcast title a bit ugly?

– SeoA, I’m a bit busy today. I heard there’s a new girl…

– SeoA, who was lazy like a coward but got startled by competitors and turned on the broadcast, thumbs up~

– I like this broadcast because there’s no “ㅅㅇ” people here.

– ㅅㅇ

– So what content do we have today?

I waited until the song ended and the broadcast screen switched.

A quick glance showed 372 viewers.

Compared to two weeks ago, it’s a whole different world.

Today, there are new virtual streamers who just transferred in, so it’s even more so.

But I don’t feel disappointed.

In the past two weeks, I filtered out toxic lurkers and built a good rapport with the remaining viewers.

As a result, a few loyal fans who never miss a broadcast appeared.

Fixed viewers who prioritize me, not the bubbly lurkers from the debut days.

“SeoHa, SeoHa! Everyone’s been waiting long, right? Today, everyone’s idol SeoA appears!”

– ㅋㅋ Since last week, that line is so annoying.

– Boss, why did you suddenly catch an idol disease?

– SeoA quickly started a broadcast on a day off after seeing competitors, so cool ㅋㅋ;;

– Look at SeoA targeting new transfers right from the title.

– SeoA, have you seen the new girls? Both are no joke.

“……”

Look at these guys?

Before the new transfers appeared, they said they were cheering for PangeaTV’s virtual queen.

Huh? As soon as the new girls come, they start ignoring me?

Feels like being stabbed in the foot by someone I trusted.

It’s Friday, a regular off day, but just in case I turned on the broadcast, and sure enough, these fickle ones.

I got annoyed but kept some distance from the mic and took a quiet deep breath to calm down.

Getting angry now would be amateurish.

Instead, I have to provoke them as if nothing’s wrong.

Why such a fuss? First time seeing a virtual streamer? Huh? If you’re a man, you want the heavy vibes like our Honey or Jagyeok.

“Of course.”

[Honey donated 10 candies.]

– SeoA, I’m busy now. I’ll be back in 30 minutes, okay?

“Honey, if you get caught in the new transfer’s room… you know what happens, right?”

– ㅋㅋ Honey moves heavily to the new girl’s room.

– SeoA’s obsession is precious, huh?

– SeoA is a famous obsessive girl.

– But honestly, I can’t stand the new girls on PangeaTV.

I believed in them!

The intense betrayal makes my body tremble.

This won’t do, immediate action is needed.

“Today’s content. SeoA’s naming office. I just captured all the viewer lists. Checked during free talk, if you’re not there, be prepared!”

– Eeek! A threat from SeoDuSa! Everyone, be careful!

– The chat just now was typed by a cat. I’m innocent, judge!

– Milky white SeoA-chan! Love you, SeoA-chan!

– Traitors switching sides, look at that ㅋㅋ

You viewer bastards! I have pure feelings too.

If you trample on my purity, buddy! Then I become a gangster.

Today, I decided to be as fierce as possible.
