Fanatic Youtuber Who Writes Wikis - Chapter 87
If you're a full-time streamer, especially a VTuber.
Operating a YouTube (U – tube) channel is not an option but a necessity.
After all, the term VTuber itself is a combination of virtual and YouTuber.
Strictly speaking, broadcasters like me who only do live streaming should be called virtual streamers, not VTubers.
It's just that it's bothersome to distinguish them individually, so we roughly lump together broadcasters who use virtual avatars as 'VTubers'.
So.
Why do VTubers need to operate YouTube channels?
It's because of the entry barrier.
Entering a VTuber's live broadcast in progress is not as easy as one might think.
Let me use myself as an example.
Let's say there's a young man here who knows nothing about VTuber culture.
While looking for something to watch to kill time, the young man finds a VTuber named 'Ezia' ranked quite high and joins the broadcast.
But lo and behold.
This Ezia VTuber was doing a confession stream.
Of course, the young man didn't know that Ezia was a VTuber with a fanatic RP character, nor did he understand the atmosphere of the stream.
The young man was a devout Christian.
Feeling offended by her audacity to mock religion, the young man immediately blocked Ezia's stream…
…Well, that's roughly the story.
Although it's an extreme example, the point is that the entry barrier for VTubers is high.
And what lowers that entry barrier is YouTube.
Unlike live streams, YouTube allows 'editing'.
Subtitles can provide a quick and effective summary of what kind of streamer I am.
Cut editing allows only the fun parts of the stream to be extracted, enabling viewers to feel dopamine within 2 minutes.
Even someone who doesn't know much about VTubers would find it quite interesting to see a pink pot-like female character with an absurdly large divine power pouch receiving 'the price of blasphemy'.
You might not understand what's going on, but it would still feel fresh.
In that sense, if I aim to be a full-time virtual streamer, operating a YouTube channel is not an option but a necessity.
[Obligations of a Scribe]
1. Breaks are taken after death. If you don't stream at least once a day, you will be forcibly sent back to the Omnia Archive.
1-1. Once you start streaming, you must continue for at least 30 minutes.
1-2. You must achieve over 1000 followers within this month.
[Obligation Completed]
2. You must create at least one new [Item] document per month.
3. You must create at least one new [Anomaly] document per month.
[Obligation Completed]
4. If you fail to fulfill these obligations, your scribe qualification will be immediately revoked and discarded.
- The obligations of a scribe are updated in real time.-
As you can see from the newly updated scribe obligations this month.
The follower cutoff has doubled compared to last month.
It's still unclear what criteria are used to increase the follower cutoff.
It could be that the follower cutoff increases by 500 units each month.
Or it could be doubling compared to the previous month.
12Why?”
[Ah.”
11 Right.
Whatever happened.
It’s clear that the Radiant Constellation is demanding ‘continuous growth’ from me.
I was lucky enough to experience explosive growth from the moment I debuted, so I’m comfortable for now, but give it another year or two.
It’s going to be quite mentally taxing.
In that sense, it’s about time.
I think it’s time for me to start running a YouTube channel.
You need at least two people to run a channel.
You need a channel manager to oversee the channel as a whole and a video editor.
In Ayase’s case, she has a channel manager, a video editor, a thumbnail artist...
I heard she has over five people dedicated to YouTube.
But that’s Ayase, so it’s possible to mobilize that kind of manpower.
For a mid-tier to upper-tier VTuber like me, honestly, one editor is enough.
...However.
It’s also true that running a channel myself is a bit overwhelming.
I’m a busy person.
I’m not pretending to be busy, I really am busy.
I have to resolve anomalies.
I have to receive regular training from Yuseul.
I have to visit the association to appraise items.
So, for now, I’m thinking of starting YouTube with one editor and one channel manager, totaling two people.
I already have someone in mind for the channel manager.
There’s one person I can trust completely to handle the channel.
“Do it for me.”
“Please, do it. Mr. Joonghwan. I’ll pay you generously.”
Kim Joonghwan is already monitoring my streams under the guise of surveillance.
If he thinks of it as running a YouTube channel while monitoring, it’s not an unreasonable request.
[It is an unreasonable request. No, to be precise, it’s an impossible request.]
“Why?”
[Ms. Jia. I am an employee of the Awakener Association.]
“So?”
[Employees of the Awakener Association are treated as quasi-public servants, so side jobs or additional income activities are not allowed.]
“Ah.”
So that’s how it is.
[I never intended to take on a side job anyway. When it’s time to rest, I should rest. Monitoring your streams is just a fancy way of saying surveillance, but really, it’s just my dopamine... Ah. That was a slip of the tongue.]
It seems Kim Joonghwan has no intention of becoming my YouTube manager.
He just wants to watch streams without thinking about work, clearing his mind.
...He has completely forgotten the original purpose of ‘surveillance.’
This guy.
He’s practically become just another ordinary believer.
What can I do? I let him go cleanly.
Actually, there’s one more suitable candidate I had in mind.
What’s there to hesitate about?
I immediately sent him a one-on-one cafe message.
[Jia: Believer.]
[Jia: Respond.]
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: Yes, High Priestess.]
His identity is none other than ‘RadiantConstellation’sGrace,’ who doubles as my stream manager and cafe manager.
Compared to Kim Joonghwan, he’s slightly lacking, but he’s still the best fit to run my YouTube channel, excluding Joonghwan.
[Jia: A divine revelation has descended.]
[Jia: Operate Jia’s channel.]
[Jia: Do so, and salvation shall be yours.]
It was nonsense.
It wasn’t a divine revelation.
Nor was it salvation.
It was just a request to become the manager of my channel, with a steady paycheck.
His reaction was so passionate it made me feel burdened.
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: Oh]
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: My]
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: God!]
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: I’ll do it no matter what I’ll do it no matter what I’ll do it no matter what I’ll do it no matter what I’ll do it no matter what I’ll do it no matter what I’ll do it no matter what]
Right.
This guy, he’s unemployed.
When I was hiring a stream manager, I filtered out anyone who wasn’t unemployed.
It’s not unreasonable for him to be happy about getting a job.
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: Creating jobs for the unemployed?]
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: The Radiant Constellation]
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: This must also be the grace of the Radiant Constellation, right?]
...But.
You should speak properly.
[Jia: No, this isn’t the grace of the Radiant Constellation]
[Jia: It’s my grace, isn’t it?]
[Jia: What did the Radiant Constellation do to deserve all this praise?]
[RadiantConstellation’sGrace: Anyway, it’s the grace of the Radiant Constellation, yep.]
[Lee Ji-ah: No, it's my grace.]
[Lee Ji-ah: I'm the employer, damn it.]
Is this the kind of unfortunate incident that happens when a believer becomes too deeply immersed in their faith?
Attributing everything to divine grace feels too unfair to me.
…
…
…
I’ve already saved the channel operator, and next is the editor.
There’s no one else but that person for the editor.
The owner of the Kirinuki channel, ‘Lee Ji-ah’s Sanctuary.’
It has to be this person.
Even if the content of the videos is all sacred and raw, which doesn’t sit well with me, that’s secondary.
This person has quite an excellent sense of editing.
I believe a YouTube channel’s caliber is determined by two major competencies.
First, the pure entertainment value of the video source.
Second, the editor’s capability.
If the source quality is too low, no matter how good the editing is, the video’s entertainment value will drop.
Conversely, even if the source is incredibly entertaining, if the editing is bland, the video’s appeal will still suffer.
YouTube is like this:
A skilled chef must use fresh ingredients to make a delicious dish.
A prime example of this is Ayase’s channel.
It’s you again, Ayase?
It’s not for nothing that Ayase is called the ‘strongest among individual VTubers.’
Anyway, I’m confident that the owner of ‘Lee Ji-ah’s Sanctuary’ will edit my videos quite entertainingly.
If there’s a suitable talent, the first thought should be to abduct them, not to suppress them.
Moreover, if I succeed in abducting this person.
I might even be able to take over the entire ‘Lee Ji-ah’s Sanctuary’ Kirinuki channel.
Since the Kirinuki channel has already grown in caliber, there’s no need to start YouTube from scratch.
Simply put.
I can terraform the Kirinuki channel into my main channel.
In that sense, no one else will do.
My editor must absolutely be the owner of ‘Lee Ji-ah’s Sanctuary.’
There’s just one problem.
I have no idea how to contact the channel owner.
Leaving a comment feels too attention-seeking, and I don’t like it.
Above all, openly sending a love call to this person… hurts my pride, so to speak.
Look at the state of the videos.
More than half of the thumbnails are plastered with ‘plump divine power pouches.’
Am I supposed to beg the owner of this channel, which only deals with sacred and vulgar content, to be my editor, pleading with hands clasped?
Ugh.
My pride can’t handle this.
You, whoever you are, you contact me first.
You kneel before me first.
From here on out, it’s a battle of wills.
*
I briefly looked around the broadcast studio installed underground.
Perfect.
There’s no better environment for broadcasting than this.
Motion capture… no, dozens of high-quality tracking cameras for motion capture are installed.
With this level of equipment and the ‘Omnia Archive Program,’ I can produce high-quality broadcasts that rival corporate VTubers.
It feels almost wasteful for me to use this studio alone.
Well, just because I have a studio doesn’t mean I’ll start motion capture broadcasts today.
I haven’t prepared the background or content for motion capture broadcasts, so it’s too early to start them now.
So today, I started the broadcast as usual.
I performed the usual pre-broadcast ritual.
And I received donations as usual.
[ㅇㅇdonated 1,000 won.]
So, what are we doing today?
“Ah, nothing much today.”
And then I said.
“Looking for a pattak.”
I casually threw out the bait.
“Looking for someone to be the editor of my main channel.”
Ask, owner of ‘Lee Ji-ah’s Sanctuary.’
You won’t be able to resist.
