Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 43

Episode 43: Seojume’s Door Lock

The schedule for personal interviews with the first round of Ugaidol audition passers has been released.

Miho’s interview was the very next day, on the 18th, while Lucy and I were scheduled for the 19th.

I had a whole day’s grace given to me.

How should I use this time?

First of all, I decided not to explore Sayoh’s broadcast today.

Even sucking bl**d like a mosquito requires a break; if repeated too often, such an image forms and creates a sense of dislike.

Seriously, why do I have to worry about so many things?

So today, I decided to hold a broadcast for my dedicated fans.

After all, the ‘root’ is always important.

For a streamer, that root is their dedicated fans.

Especially among them, ‘passionate fans’ who have given the most support are always someone to pay attention to.

It’s a simple capitalist logic.

If I run a convenience store, who would I treat better: a customer who occasionally comes to buy something or a customer who visits every day and brings in sales multiples of the average each time they come?

Some might argue that every customer is valuable and should be treated equally.

Unfortunately, such a person is someone completely unaware of the ways of the world and an idealist.

A streamer ultimately survives on the donations and advertising revenue given by viewers.

If identical services are offered to someone who donated 1,000 won and someone who donated 10,000 won, dissatisfaction is bound to arise from the latter.

In that sense, Pangea TV is definitely a company that knows how to stimulate human desire.

Pangea TV’s passionate fan system, which cannot be found on Lebit TV.

It’s a system that assigns different ranks based on cumulative candy donations, marking the top 20 with red nicknames that differentiate them from general fans’ green nicknames.

Humans have always been creatures that love ranking.

But is there a public ranking where one becomes a trophy in their favorite streamer’s broadcast?

Fans stimulated by this become even more willing to open their wallets.

Perhaps this system is ethically questionable.

Sometimes there are news reports about people causing social issues or committing crimes due to excessively donating candy while going into debt.

Nonetheless, the effect was immense.

There were articles stating that streamers generated over 200 billion won in sales in the third quarter of 2023.

“Capitalist society ultimately values money the most.”

There was a reason Pangea TV maintained its passionate fan system even when it changed its mission during the platform overhaul.

An overwhelming revenue model that set it apart from competing platforms.

As a streamer on Pangea TV, I needed to utilize this system wisely.

“Inducing excessive candy donations is a problem, but I have to take good care of my house rabbits.”

In the streaming community, viewers rarely just watch a single broadcast.

When the main base is live, it’s natural to sit in, but during other times, viewers wander around looking for broadcasts that fit their preferences.

If they’re in a good mood, they might donate candy in other broadcasts… and in doing so, become passionate fans too.

Among streamers, this kind of situation is humorously referred to as foreign currency outflow, but it’s not something to be taken lightly.

It’s not just a simple loss of income; frequent foreign currency outflow from passionate fans could lead to their hearts drifting away and moving their main base.

“I surely need to keep the passionate fans close. They are the ones who have supported my broadcast, so it’s only right to pay attention to them.”

Hadn’t I already experienced the differences in treatment among passionate fans… especially between the chairman and the crew members before the reset?

The existence of the president, Bluebee, who generously supported crew content made other crew members, including Lucy, feel the pressure.

It’s not just in the streaming community; that’s how the world works.

If you have no money, you have to observe and keep your ear to the ground.

Thus, the content for today unfolds.

[“Seojume’s Door Lock” Passionate Fan Management Begins]

#Ugaidol #Virtual #Stock #Newbie

“Seo-ha, Seo-ha! Your virtual idol Seo-a is here!”

-Seo Ah-seong, why is your idol’s broadcast title like this? LOL

-Oh my goodness! Passionate fans! LOL

-Seojume’s passionate management is something no one can stop!

-Seo-a is known as an obsessed girl on Pangea TV.

Just by looking at the broadcast title, dopamine seems to flow; from the beginning, the viewers’ excitement was palpable in the chat.

After all, passionate fans are a sensitive issue closely tied to income.

There’s nothing more interesting and stimulating to people than the topic of ‘money.’

Today, without any specific promotion, just out of excitement for the real passionate and dedicated fans, I drew in viewers so quickly that my viewer count surpassed 1,000 based solely on my recognition and the broadcast title.

“Is it really the Ugaidol Audition period? There’s definitely a viewer buff.”

After gradually gauging the atmosphere, I started throwing bait for today’s broadcast concept.

“Hello everyone. Tomorrow, the personal interviews for the first round of the Ugaidol audition will happen, so I actually planned to hold a small communication broadcast today. But I received such shocking information… boo hoo.”

-?? Another sudden situation act today

-Oh dear, Seo-a, how can you not have a day without chaos?

[Ugaidol Fan 1 has donated 50 candies.]

-This person is completely different from what I saw during the audition; are they two-faced?

-What information could it be? Did they imagine sending it themselves and receiving it? OMG!

“The information I received is like this. I really believed and trusted our Seo Adan. But it turns out that those who have subscription nicknames are using their fan nicknames in other streams, chatting actively and donating candy like crazy!”

-OMG! Is this, is this me?!

-How is this Seo Adan’s fault? It’s Seo-a’s fault for only broadcasting 5 hours a day, making us go watch other streams, right? I concede?

-Judge, that wasn’t me who donated; my cat pressed the button! T_T

“Whoa! Everyone, take your hands off the mouse. If you move carelessly from now on, your hands will be gone. Huh? Verification starts now.”

I led the atmosphere with an exaggerated tone as if playing a role in a drama.

Actually managing fans’ transgressions is a very sensitive issue.

Even though they are fans, they are not the property of the streamer but are individuals with their own opinions, and trying to control them forcefully can lead to resistance.

Therefore, one must never show genuine feelings.

It’s all about nuanced language.

On the surface, it should be playful while secretly cutting deep.

Maintaining such an attitude ensures that fans can enjoy the feeling of “The streamer is obsessed with me.”

“You see my broadcast, right? I believe at least the passionate fans won’t be the exception. What relationship do we have! Huh? We’re connected not by sweet candies but by warm hearts that care for each other!”

-LOL, what’s that heartfelt confession in the middle?

-Seo-a is known as a money fox on Pangea TV.

-Much money, much money, much money!

“I’m really curious about the passionate fans’ broadcast today. I’ll take a look at it.”

The list of passionate fans on the left side of my broadcast expands.

Seo-Ah’s Pouch [Chairman]

Seoa Broadcast [Vice President]

Mr./Ms. Seo-a’s House Is On Fire [3rd]

Mr./Ms. Boston Seo-a [4th]

Virtual Like [5th]

Ugaidol Seoa’s Land [6th]

Please Coin [7th]

Looking at the displayed list up to the 20th rank, there was truly a diverse group of viewers.

First, the ‘Chairman’ Seo-Ah’s Pouch holds the top position.

As far as I remember, they were a viewer back since my debut broadcast.

They watch the broadcasts diligently and chat very little, but the supportive messages give off a decent feeling, suggesting they might be older.

At least in their mid-30s?

Occasionally, in Hakkoh’s room, there’s a passionate fan trying to flex by shaking something as an act of supporting the streamer, but thankfully, our room’s chairman seems distant from such behavior.

Then there’s the vice president, Seoa Broadcast.

Unlike the chairman, they were a passionate fan who chatted quite frequently.

The playful vibe and frequent use of trending memes in their chats suggest they are younger.

They sometimes get chat banned for their antics but generally comply with moderation, leading to a positive atmosphere, so they are considered a good passionate fan.

“And besides, a loyal viewer is precious. Even if a room has many viewers, if it has little to no chat activity, it’s hard for the streamer to broadcast.”

Interaction can be considered the most fundamental aspect for a streamer.

If the streamer speaks unilaterally and there’s no reaction in the chat, how difficult would it be to communicate?

In that sense, the existence of an active chat participant is valuable.

Huh? What’s an active chat participant?

There’s a named viewer who pushes through the chat even during the most awful content without escaping until the end, and since that viewer’s nickname contains “active,” the term became common in the gallery.

They can simply be regarded as viewers who diligently contribute to the chat.

The 3rd and 4th ranks seem a bit ambiguous.

The 3rd rank used to come often early in the stream but has been quite scarce recently.

As a result, their impression is a bit faded.

The 4th place, Mr./Ms. Boston Seo-a, has a unique nickname, and when I inquired, it turned out they genuinely reside in Boston.

Sometimes, for some reason, they chat in long English passages, which is a hassle for me, a non-English speaker, to translate.

Nonetheless, viewers seem to react positively when they see me struggling, referring to me as “Persimmon Tree” and so on.

As for 5th, 6th, and 7th ranks, just from not having fan nicknames, it shows that the inner familiarity hasn’t been established yet.

5th place, Virtual Like, is a typical Buttugi, roaming around here and there just like me, while 6th place, Ugaidol Seoa’s Land, is a newcomer introduced after the recent audition began, and I haven’t known them long enough.

Then, 7th place was really peculiar.

They hardly ever advanced into broadcasts except when I stirred interest related to stocks.

However, whenever they came into a stream, they effortlessly donated 1,000 candies, getting me all excited.

I’ll make sure to have them come around during broadcasts that aren’t stock-related as well.

And from below, ranks 8 to 20, the passionate fans almost have a 50-50 ratio of fan nicknames and non-fan nicknames.

“Alright, let’s check out 20th place, the Child Who Wants to Sell. Here we go, clap clap, clap clap!”

Ignoring the excited chats of the viewers, I entered the broadcast of the 20th ranked passionate fan, the Child Who Wants to Sell.

“What is this!?”

It was a spectacular start from the very beginning.
