Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 71

Episode 71: Crew Meeting

The name of the crew was decided through voting for V-Live.

But I feel a bit uneasy.

No matter how I think about it, I feel like there will be some guys calling the crew ‘Bra’ as a shortened name.

Especially in places like the Pangea TV board.

However, I cannot overturn the results that have already been decided by the vote.

Having confirmed the crew name as V-Live, we moved on to the next step.

“Let’s create an official fan cafe and a YouTube channel. The fan cafe is particularly important, so how should we structure it? Does everyone have a broadcast manager?”

Now that we had decided on the crew name, progress was quickly moving forward.

Since only Miho had a broadcast manager, we decided to temporarily assign her to manage the cafe.

After all, it would be tough for a streamer who needs to focus on broadcasting to also manage the cafe.

“I’m going to hire a broadcast manager soon, which will lessen the burden on the moderators. Or we could hire a separate cafe manager.”

The person who had temporarily taken the role of manager through Mr. Young-jun’s introduction sadly returned after the promised period ended.

Now I was in a situation where I needed to hire a proper broadcast manager.

In fact, hiring a manager was an extremely important matter.

While there are personal differences, a good manager does more than just manage chat; they assist the streamer’s activities and provide broadcast support.

Lucy’s manager in the past was like that.

Whenever there was something to inquire about, they would quickly provide the link, and they were sharp on platform issues, avoiding potential problems.

They never expressed their own personality and even managed to maintain a pleasant atmosphere during broadcasts when they had to chat.

“Big company streamers even have salaried managers. It’s clear that having a manager is important.”

For broadcasts with an average audience of fewer than 50 viewers, not having a manager would be sufficient, but there was definitely discomfort above that number.

However, one must also be aware of the negative effects of hiring the wrong manager.

A clueless self-expression could ruin the atmosphere of the broadcast, and some malicious individuals might approach female streamers with ulterior motives.

There have even been streamers whose privacy was exposed by a manager due to a falling out.

“For now, I’ll post a separate notice about this later…”

I decided to take on the work for the YouTube channel myself.

We don’t have any videos to upload at the moment; we were just creating the channel.

In the future, when our crew grows bigger, we can pool money together to hire an editor.

The next thing we needed to discuss was each person’s broadcasting hours.

“If there are personal circumstances, I understand, but if not, I would prefer that crew members do not overlap their broadcasting times.”

My thinking was simple.

How can we maximize the crew’s effect?

In that sense, we needed to stagger each other’s broadcasting times a bit.

The reason was simple.

This way, we could create viewer spillover among the crew members.

For example, if Miho and I both went live at 7 PM.

Then the viewers would go to watch each of our main bases’ broadcasts.

Since Pangea TV’s service supports up to three concurrent broadcasts, it’s possible to have multi-view, but the frequency of chat and candy donations, etc., would definitely decrease the crew’s effectiveness.

But what if Miho and I broadcasted at different times?

After I finished my stream, viewers who lost their destination would gravitate toward Miho’s broadcast, even if only a significant portion.

That is the proper effect of a crew.

Not only that.

If we spread the broadcast times of the crew members widely, it also prevents viewers from turning their eyes to other broadcasts outside our crew.

No matter when they log onto the platform, our crew’s broadcasts will always be active.

This is what I call the crew revolving door effect.

“Wow. Our leader is really smart. This is why I decided to stick around.”

“But your naming sense needs some work…”

“Seoa, then what about your time?”

This part required a mutual give-and-take.

There is certainly a peak viewing time on streaming platforms when the most viewers are present.

That time is mainly from 7 PM to 12 AM when office workers are getting off work.

So streamers often broadcast during that time frame too.

“Everyone needs to see the situation coldly. This is not an emotional issue; it’s a reality.”

Before deciding on each person’s broadcasting time, I entered the Candy Calculator site to check the crew members’ broadcasting data.

The Candy Calculator site was not just a place to check the amount of candy received in donations.

It contained most of the streamer’s data, including viewer count, subscriptions, upvotes, and favorites.

Seoa – 1,247 / Lucy – 215 / Miho – 153 / Mayo – 75

These were the average viewer counts for the crew members’ October broadcasts.

While I did attract attention through the Ugaidol Audition and pumped up some viewers through several contents, even considering that, the difference from the other crew members was large.

In any aspect, it was inevitable that I would occupy the peak viewing time.

“Well then, we’re the problem. What time slot would be good for me?”

“I recommend the night to early morning for Miho unni.”

I had a clear reason for recommending that time to Miho.

Due to the subtly sexy appeal of Miho’s broadcasts, a small group of dedicated viewers suited her better than a large audience.

And that time slot was just right for creating such a dedicated fandom.

Late-night viewers who are a bit lewd.

Given that the average age of the audience is already high, late hours fit nicely.

“That definitely makes sense. Then I’ll try that for a month. If the results are unclear, I can adjust it again, right?”

“Of course. Theory and practice are different, so we will identify the issues and correct them little by little…”

After confirming Miho, I recommended the morning to early afternoon time to Lucy.

“Do I have any advantages suited to that time slot like Miho unni?”

“It’s because Lucy unni is a bit dull.”

“…….”

I made my first hurtful comment to Lucy.

There was no choice.

Business and personal matters must be clearly separated.

I recommended a ‘news broadcast’ to Lucy.

“To be honest, Lucy unni needs to improve her conversational skills. You can’t survive on singing alone in the streaming community. But fortunately, Lucy unni has a good voice. By diligently researching hot topics and organizing them into material, you can deliver information to viewers every morning.”

The news broadcast has long been a verified content in the streaming community.

Most viewers tune in during commuting hours, accessing the broadcast in radio mode.

In this meta, Lucy’s good voice had a definite merit.

Moreover, a news broadcast doesn’t necessarily need to be funny.

Just reading interesting information in a pleasant voice would suffice.

“If you practice speaking in front of many viewers and regularly research data, you will become well-informed about various platforms and major streamers. I think this is the perfect kind of broadcast for you right now, Lucy unni.”

“Is it not a dull broadcast then?”

“Cough.”

“Just kidding. Thank you for thinking of it. Okay, I’ll try to go with Seoa’s idea.”

Genuine feelings can be understood.

Lucy also decided to follow my suggestion.

Now the only one left was Mayo.

“So, does Mayo automatically go from lunch to afternoon?”

“Yep. There’s a reason why I’m recommending this time slot too.”

What are Mayo’s strengths?

Her exceptional broadcasting sense and the captivating MZ character.

If you take those away, I would first point out her ability to eat anything as long as it comes with mayonnaise.

She could eat anything if there was mayonnaise.

Before the regression, Mayo had gained notoriety for her bizarre food pinball mukbang.

‘If we’re an idol concept crew, we shouldn’t even consider bizarre eating broadcasts, but we’re just streamers, so…’

Mayo’s bizarre food pinball mukbang would be excellent content for the hungry lunch hour.

Ah, would the lost appetite have a reverse effect?

Additionally, it was good to place Mayo in the same time slot as me.

Comparing our sizes, I was the largest and Mayo was at the opposite end, so she was the one who needed the most viewer spillover.

“Urgh… I’m angry because you’re so smart.”

“Great. Then Mayo agrees to it too?”

With everyone’s agreement in hand, phew! It was worth preparing ahead of time.

Broadcasting hours are a very sensitive issue for streamers, so I studied hard to convince everyone.

Anyway, this means the crew’s broadcasting time is set!

It feels like we’ve overcome a major hurdle.

What remains are the minor details.

For example, knowing each other’s break days, adjusting avatar outfits so they don’t overlap, and discussing content or events planned for the future.

“Ah!”

“Hmm? Why?”

“Did you remember something important?”

I had forgotten to ask a very important question, as Lucy said.

I spoke to everyone seriously.

“Does everyone know how to use Mark?”

“……?”

Everyone was puzzled by the sudden Mark mention.

I told them to not inquire further and to pay attention to finding Mark videos and playing them for the time being.

“Because there are talks of a large Mark server coming to Pangea TV. It wouldn’t hurt to prepare in advance.”

– Lena World.

Only about a month left until the ultra-rare event of the Virtual Panel.

It was an opportunity that could not be missed.
