Chapter Index

    This incident became a hot topic among people, even more than the Crocodile Studio controversy.

    In the Crocodile Studio controversy, the scope of stakeholders was limited to a very small number of creators. So the impact of the controversy was limited to warning other creators to be more careful when signing contracts.

    However, this incident had all Twatch’s streamers and viewers paying close attention and focusing on the flow.

    That too is a vicious incident in which a large corporate streamer attempted to block the future path of a fellow streamer. In addition, the manager of Twatch Korea, which has enormous authority over streamers’ broadcasts, was even involved.

    This time, the targets of the terror were limited to Awaken streamers, but no one was sure if it would happen again next time. Now that it has been revealed that streaming itself could become almost impossible outside of their eyes, it was natural for streamers and fans to be anxious.

    Fortunately, no channels were suspended due to an ‘error’ in the system, but otherwise, the income of Awaken’s streamers would have been greatly affected.

    It means that there may be a problem with your livelihood.

    Of course, it was natural for the streamer and his fans, who knew what happened before and after, to be angry.

    Some of them even laughed at Mr. L and Mr. O, who looked pitiful.

    [Twatch Korea is really pathetic]

    I originally thought they were doing it to mess up the operation, but what kind of joke is it that they tried to maliciously suspend a streamer belonging to Awaken but couldn’t do it due to an error?

    -ㄹㅇ This is absurd.

    -I’m glad it didn’t stop, but I just laughed out loud.

    -You look at streamers like shit.

    -It seems like incompetent kids are taking over because the head office doesn’t interfere much.

    [Wow, is this a human?]

    (Capture of the list of evidence posted by Awaken)

    If you look at what they’re saying, they’re just idiots, but I wonder if the people who hired them part-time for viewbots and postings are real people.

    Is it true that when someone in the same industry tries to do well, they immediately try to bury him?

    -Somehow, a post was posted a while ago that was almost plastered all over the place.

    -But how did you get that evidence?

    ㄴSomeone in the middle must have betrayed me

    ㄴThat’s not called betrayal, it’s called grand cooperation.

    -It seems like there are some people who just blanked their brains and thought that was right, hehe.

    -It gives me goosebumps to think what would have happened if I had been stopped like that.

    [Anyway, I need to know about Tas’s slandering skills]

    Well, that’s right. If you look at Awaken helping Sarah, it’s not the place to do something like this. And if you look at the technology, don’t you get the answer? We’ve already eaten a lot of the platform pie even without a trick like Viewbot.

    The idiots who fell for the part-time job propaganda because they aren’t the streamers they watch lol.

    -lol

    -The funny thing is, the people who cursed at that time must have been watching the Awake broadcast, right?

    ㄴㄹㅇ At least the loyal kids must have seen it twice with the main camp haha.

    ㄴHonestly, how can you resist dungeon exploration?

    -It was a long time ago, but you did well not to leave a comment.

    -Uh~ It’s been a long time since we moved our headquarters~

    -If you can’t win, join.

    Some people wondered if this was something that would be reacted so sensitively. I couldn’t tell if he was someone who didn’t want the issue to escalate, or if he really just thought it was a personal mistake and didn’t care about it.

    For those without such insight, storytellers residing on the bulletin board provided eye-level education.

    [There are too many idiots on the bulletin board]

    Just one MCN was attacked, so how poor are these people who ask why it’s burning?

    Regardless of who Mr. L and Mr. O are, do you think this will be the end of what they did? I just got unlucky this time. I’ve probably done something similar many times before.

    The streamer you watch may have suffered losses knowingly or unknowingly.

    -Mr. L and Mr. O hahaha

    -This is right.

    -According to the current detective reasoning, there is a high probability that the culprits are Im Jin-su and Oh Gyeong-mo.

    Who is the detective?

    There is a streamer who is good at Mafia games.

    ㄴㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ

    ㄴBut right now, those two are the most likely ones haha.

    -Our Dalnyang hasn’t been caught in the main for several months. Was that because of these cubs?

    -There was a reason why no one came in even when I broadcasted it.

    ㄴThat’s you…

    What is sour grapes?

    People were already almost certain that the culprit was Jinsu Lim.

    People protested on Lim Jin-soo’s YouTube channel and in a live chat window that was not turned on, demanding the truth.

    As the voice grew louder, Jin-soo Lim could no longer sit still and watch while sucking his finger. If he did not want to retire right away but at least wanted to return after the controversy subsided, he should have made the situation as pleasant as possible before it was too late.

    [This is Lim Jin-su.]

    In the end, Jinsu Lim cried and posted an apology. As long as the evidence posted by Awaken was clear, there was no point in denying the facts here.

    Even if Oh Kyeong-mo was not careless and Awaken obtained evidence through illegal methods such as hacking, it does not change the fact that he already committed malicious Viewbot terrorism and instigated the suspension of the channel.

    In that case, what Im Jin-soo had to do was to bring his falling public opinion to a soft landing. Otherwise, his broadcasting career would be over.

    However, as expected, his original personality did not go anywhere, and Lim Jin-soo’s apology was far from normal. The apology was full of excuses for Oh Gyeong-mo’s mistakes and Lim Jin-soo’s own actions, which were lamely emphasized. Rather, it was an apology that made the viewer irritated.

    I scoffed when I saw that.

    ‘Did you write that as an apology? ‘I’d rather call it an entrance door.’

    -I still haven’t let go of all my pride.

    ‘That’s pathetic.’

    When we thought people had read his apology to some extent, we uploaded additional material.

    [We are additionally disclosing the mistakes made by Mr. L and Mr. O in the past.]

    This is information provided by an insider who became aware of the situation during this incident.

    There is evidence that Mr. L and Mr. O have done similar things in the past… … .

    It was roughly said that it was information received from a person involved who felt guilty, but in fact, it was firewood put in by people to digest the information and continue the topic.

    The information it contained was as follows:

    Main page exposure streamer manipulation committed by Jinsu Lim and Kyungmo Oh. Evidence of pushing a specific streamer. A list of retired streamers who are believed to have suffered similar attacks, as well as testimonies from some streamers who have also received direct threats.

    The community was once again ignited by the carefully collected information.

    There was no need to determine the truth. This is because the data posted contained all the evidence for people to believe.

    A very small number of people who believed Lim Jin-su’s excuses even for a moment became even more angry at the sense of betrayal and attacked him. In the process, when circumstances emerged that Jin-soo Lim used Viewbot in the early days of streaming, a flood of posts ridiculed him, calling him the epitome of naeronambul.

    ‘The response is very good.’

    -Although it was a large company, he was not a clean person without controversy. Because his broadcasting style was the type that looked down on others, there were probably many times when he wasn’t looked upon very kindly.

    Some people even wondered if they might be sued for excessive death threats and abusive language. Maria took reasonable steps to help them avoid being sued in this case.

    About two days passed like that. That was enough for this incident to spread throughout Twatch.

    Meanwhile, Twatch headquarters hastily took action on this absurd situation that occurred in Korea.

    Oh Kyung-mo resigned from his position as Twatch Korea manager and was suspended, and is said to be awaiting legal action from the company for breach of trust and obstruction of business.

    The same goes for Lim Jin-soo. His channel was not suspended but rather deleted. For him, who became a streamer as a career, it was tantamount to a death sentence.

    So, even if the legal process is over for both of them, it is a long way off for them to return to this industry.

    People who saw justice being handed down for the first time in a long time responded with relief. But not everyone could laugh like that.

    -Streamers are anxious.

    ‘It’s as planned.’

    It was Maria’s intention and the reaction I was expecting. Streamers began to distrust Twatch.

    Streamers are needed to create a new streaming platform. The logic was that in order to have viewers, you first need people to create content for them to watch.

    Unsurprisingly, streamers were generally quite negative about platform transfers, which could lead to them losing a significant portion of their existing viewers.

    ‘But now it’s a different story.’

    -that’s right. This is an opportunity, like now, when you are disappointed with the existing platform and problems arise.

    Of course, if only Awaken was truly attacked, it would have been difficult for other streamers to abandon their existing bases, but this time the issue was a little bigger.

    Although Twatch promised to prevent a recurrence when disposing of the two people, it was already revealed to everyone that Twatch Korea’s operation was full of loopholes.

    In that situation, I wasn’t sure if what had already happened wouldn’t happen again.

    Similar cases of damage in the past, sown by Maria, also fueled people’s anxiety.

    When such a bad story comes out, it is no secret to other streamers. The problem is that they may have already been disadvantaged without realizing it, and there is no guarantee that they will not be disadvantaged in the future.

    Now all we have to do is announce a new platform.

    ‘You said all preparations for service are complete, right?’

    -yes! You can open anytime! We have already signed new contracts with our creators.

    It was a trustworthy answer.

    I muttered under my breath the name of the new platform Maria had mentioned.

    ‘Glitch… ‘

    It was a not bad name that suited our identity.
