Fanatic Youtuber Who Writes Wikis - Chapter 89
I lost.
Without any room for excuses, I lost the battle of wills very cleanly.
Of course, it was a battle of wills and shadow boxing I fought alone.
But I lost anyway.
One fact I overlooked.
People with their own firm beliefs and philosophies cannot be persuaded by money.
This Kirinuki editor was exactly that kind of person.
He explained to me why he couldn't be my official editor.
To summarize.
The direction of the editing we pursue is so vastly different.
[My editing style is really intense.]
"...I know. I've seen it."
[I don't particularly want to change my editing style... Did my editing style appeal to you, Jia?]
"No. I hate it."
[Yes, then it's still a rejection. I'll take down all the videos as soon as the call ends!]
“…”
I don't particularly like this person's editing style.
But it's clear that it's a huge help to my channel.
In fact, since he started managing the Kirinuki channel, the influx of viewers has noticeably increased.
Anyway, I lost.
I was completely defeated in the battle of wills.
What should I do after losing?
It's time to pay the price of defeat.
Despite my resolve to 'never cling on crying and begging.'
"Ah, just be my editor! My YouTube will fail without you!"
- Total change of attitude lolololol
- Earlier, you were calling him a sinner and all that nonsense lolololol
- Pathetic!
- This is just mindless tantrum throwing lolololol
- But the owner of the prayer room is kinda wasted...
- Seriously, if the prayer room owner edited the main channel, hitting 1 million subscribers would be totally possible.
- That's a bit...
- Does 1 million YouTubers look like trash to you?
- Does Ayase Nunna look like trash? Ah lol
- ? When did Ayase hit 1 million?
- Last week.
I started throwing a tantrum at him.
For a moment, I wondered if I should go this far.
Hmm.
Yes, this is how far I need to go.
The capability of a YouTube editor is more important than you think.
If you ever wonder, 'This person doesn't seem that interesting, so why do they have so many subscribers and views?' It's 100% thanks to the editor.
Conversely, if you think, 'This person is hilariously funny in live streams, so why do they have so few subscribers and views?' It's 100% because of the editor.
It's not even an official channel, and I haven't mentioned it in my streams.
But through word of mouth and the algorithm, it gained 100,000 subscribers in less than a month?
This is a realm of talent.
Therefore, I must hold onto this person.
It's absolutely worth begging and pleading with him.
He looked slightly embarrassed.
[But I'm not just saying this, the editing style you aim for and the one I aim for...]
"I, I'll do my best to match your style! Is that okay?"
[Uh... really?]
“More than half of the video might have no cuts, is that still okay?]
- More than half the video with no cuts?
- That's a bit lololololol
- Was it that bad? lololololol
- So that's why you rejected it, damn.
- Essentially, you're giving up on YouTube revenue lololololol
- Isn't that like pouring water into a bottomless bucket?
"...I don't care. It's not about the money. Money, well, yeah."
I cut my words short.
The rest of the sentence was, 'Because the Awakened Association deposits a huge amount of money into my account every month, so it's fine.'
But the believers seemed to misunderstand me.
- Money? Just extort donations from the believers, declaration ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
- 'Give me your donations'
- 'Pay up'
This is troublesome.
I can't correct the misunderstanding.
It's frustrating that I can't openly declare that I'm an Awakened.
Anyway.
"I swear by the name of the Mad Brush Star. I'll do my best to match your style."
For the sake of the YouTube channel, I have no choice but to submit and bow my head.
- What's the Mad Brush Star lolololol
- Did you say it wrong?
- This is hilariously random lolololololol
- Mad Brush Star nonsense lolololol
As I swore by the name of a god, his voice became much brighter.
[If you're going that far, then I have no reason to refuse. Alright! Just to let you know in advance, the editing style of the main channel will be equal to or even more intense than the videos on Jia's Prayer Room channel...]
"Ah, that's a bit."
[...Huh?]
"Tone it down a bit. It's too much."
[ㅇㅇdonated 1,000 won.]
5 seconds ago, you said you'd match my style, you crazy guy, ah lolololololololololol
[Jianunnapumsoke Dive donated 5,000 won.]
I’ll match it (not really).
[Wait, didn’t you just say you’d match it a moment ago… You even swore in the name of God.]
“I didn’t.”
[Yes, you did!]
My pride was hurt.
It seemed like my defeat was already certain, but nevertheless, I wanted to keep up the fight.
So I stubbornly insisted.
“I swore not to Muhtbyeol-nim but to Michin Bootbyeol-nim. You should’ve listened properly…”
Ugh!”
Urgh,”
Aaaah!”
The price for mocking the name of God was harsh.
The person on the other end of the call chuckled, and.
- Oh, was it a script?
- It was a script, lol lol lol lol lol lol
- No wonder it felt so forced, lol lol lol lol lol
- Welcome to the price of blasphemy
- It’s been a while since this happened, lol lol lol lol lol
- ? What is this person doing right now?
- Headbutting???????????????
- The newbies are so confused, it’s hilarious
- It’s a sacred ritual, please don’t misunderstand.
- The god of RP, Ijia! The god of RP, Ijia! The god of RP, Ijia! The god of RP, Ijia!
- Wow, turning this into laughter is impressive
- I was wondering how they’d wrap it up, but they nailed it, lol lol lol lol lol
- Da Ji Ah
- Pig Ji Ah
- Hey, it’s not a pig.
- Hmm… If I just watch the mid, it does seem like a pig.
- Hey
- You little brat!!
- Take it back… what you just said…!
[Anonymous donated 3,000 won.]
This guy is just the god of RP, yeah.
[User ㅇㅇ has donated 5,000 won.]
The master of WWE, Da Ji Ah ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
The chat and donations also started applauding me as the god of RP or whatever.
…It felt like I had become the protagonist of some delusional novel.
Not RP.
I really headbutted.
*
The next morning.
Having woken up early, I created a group voice chat and invited two people.
One was my stream manager and the person in charge of my YouTube channel, ‘Muhtbyeolnunna’s Grace’.
His main role is overall channel management and comment section moderation.
Crazy guys who come in and cause chaos.
Gallery trolls.
Advertisers promoting all sorts of inappropriate sites.
The YouTube comment section is a living hell, so his role is quite significant.
The other person is ‘Ijia’s Chapel’, who will be in charge of editing the channel.
‘Ijia’s Chapel’ had only one condition for me.
Never interfere with their editing style.
If you just trust and follow me, I’ll make sure the channel grows big and strong.
…I accepted.
What else could I do?
Finding such a skilled editor is no easy task.
I postponed drafting a contract for now.
Because my MCN and agency, ‘Omnia Archive’.
Is a super black company that doesn’t even support contract drafting.
If it were any other MCN or corporate entity, they would’ve provided full support for such contract-related matters, but no, what are you doing, Bi-chin Muhtbyeol-nim.
In the end, to draft contracts with these people, I’d either have to study on my own or seek help from the Awakened Association, so I postponed it for now.
I said we could start working after signing the contract, but the two were more eager than I thought.
They both immediately started working on the YouTube channel today.
We decided to leave ‘Ijia’s Chapel’, the Kirinuki channel run by Ijia’s Chapel, as it is.
It seemed better to leave it as a clip channel rather than terraforming it into the main channel.
Haa.
That’s the end of my worries about the YouTube channel.
Since I’ve hired not one but two people, they’ll figure it out among themselves.
Yeah, thinking about it, it’s actually a good thing.
It would’ve been quite a hassle for me to personally review each video one by one.
So whether the video is too extreme or not.
It doesn’t seem entirely bad to just leave them to figure things out on their own.
All I need to do is faithfully fulfill my role as an employer who hands out money on time.
[Byulnunna’s Grace: I think we need to create a separate channel banner image.]
[Lee Jia’s Chapel: Ah, I think I can handle that!]
[Lee Jia’s Chapel: When the Kirinuki channel opened, I asked the artist Crazy Star, and they made it for us lol.]
[Byulnunna’s Grace: Kya.]
[Byulnunna’s Grace: Daebak Star.]
The name of the artist “Crazy Star,” who decorated the entrance of my café, comes up again here.
I think I should send them a separate thank-you message.
As I watched the enthusiastic discussion between my two diligent employees, I zoned out.
Ding.
A Voicestalk notification rang.
[Ayase: Hello, Jia~ How have you been?]
“Huh.”
It was Ayase.
Excited to receive a message from Ayase, I quickly replied.
[Lee Jia: Hiiii!]
[Lee Jia: I’ve been good!]
[Lee Jia: Yes, I’ve been doing well!]
It was a barrage of typos.
[Ayase: Hahaha, you’re still as amusing as ever lololol.]
[Ayase: But why are you replying so fast?]
[Ayase: When I message streamers, it usually takes at least a day to get a reply lololol.]
…My face flushed red.
I should’ve replied more slowly and carefully.
[Ayase: The reason I contacted you this time is]
[Ayase: to make a request for a tournament invitation!]
[Ayase: Please take a look at the details below, and if you’re interested, feel free to DM me!]
[Ayase: (Photo)]
The message was a tournament invitation request.
And I answered without a moment’s hesitation.
[Lee Jia: I’ll do it! I’ll definitely do it!]
After replying, I checked the tournament-related photo Ayase sent.
The tournament was titled “Battle Lounge Streamer Random Team Battle.”
Ah.
Yeah.
It was a “Battle Lounge” tournament.
I could see the future.
A future where I’d mess up spectacularly in the tournament, cause trouble for my teammates, and get cursed at by everyone.
“…”
I’d need Yoo Iseul’s help.
