[Glitch? What is this?]

It’s a new streaming platform. Does anyone know anything about it?

​

-I don’t know, it’s been suddenly being talked about for some time now.

-Are you a Twatch fan?

-Is this something made by a large company?

ㄴI don’t think that’s the case.

​

​

In fact, creating a new platform was not originally possible in such a short period of time.

​

From obtaining various permits and finding an office building to preparing equipment for servers and systems. In a normal case, money would be money, but a lot of time would have been consumed.

​

If it weren’t for Maria and Awaken, who can bypass modern security systems like going in and out of a house, Glitch wouldn’t have been able to start service until next year or the year after.

​

However, Awaken is a group of artificial intelligence androids that possess futuristic technology but are also self-aware. They had already stolen the know-how of modern streaming companies without anyone knowing and had further developed it.

​

The same goes for equipment and office buildings. I purchased everything and even made any additional items I needed. In the process, Maria and I almost ran out of funds, but somehow we were able to complete the preparations quickly.

​

In that case, all that remains is to open the platform as quickly as possible and switch at a good time before this unstable atmosphere subsides.

​

‘There wasn’t enough time to promote it… ‘

​

-are you okay! We’ve already posted a notice on our channel and it’s gone viral in the community!

​

After checking what she said, the community was definitely in an uproar over the sudden news of my transfer.

​

​

[trot! Lee Min-ho transfers to another platform!]

(Notice photo posted on Lee Min-ho’s channel community)

Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like the YouTube channel is being deleted at all, and it looks like it’s being left for uploading edited videos.

Instead, they say they will hold live performances elsewhere in the future?

​

-different place? Where is it?

-Glitch has been talked about a lot these days, but will Lee Min-ho cover it?

ㄴWhat kind of nonsense are you bringing in?

-I don’t know where it is, but it looks like the down payment was taken care of.

-You’re abandoning YouTube Live, which you were doing so well, because of how much down payment you received?

​

[Something unusual]

(Notice photos from Awaken creators)

Lee Min-ho is not the only one transferring.

It seems like the Awaken streamers are moving to a group now.

I think their entire MCN is thinking of moving?

​

-I guess there’s something there.

-Isn’t it just that they go somewhere else and the number of viewers decreases drastically before they come back? Then it gets a little out of shape.

ㄴStar… Haha, I’m not worried about being a broadcaster haha.

-No, so where are you going?

-But looking at what you’re doing these days, doesn’t it seem like it’s better than Twatch wherever you go? There is also a new glitch that is coming out.

Is there a need to go somewhere else and pioneer in an unproven place?

What… Since all existing platforms have their pros and cons, wouldn’t it be possible to make a fresh start with Glitch?

​

[Does streaming service look like shit?]

Glitch, glitch, glitch… ㅅㅂ It’s going viral so much.

They keep mentioning Lee Min-ho’s transfer and glitches, so how can a new company be able to provide a good service?

It’s obvious that there will be problems like picture quality, delay, and buffering, but I don’t know this.

Isn’t it obvious that the first kids to join will only be beta testers? In the end, we have to start with backward compatibility of existing services.

Maybe it will be worth looking into after 3 years of accumulated know-how, but not right away.

Since Awaken, which Lee Min-ho is in, has a problem with Twatch this time, he’ll probably go on a safari and do some BJ.

They say you make a lot of money there

​

-ㄹㅇ This is the most likely one.

-If it were Safari, I think they would have provided a solid down payment.

-Oh, it’s a bit difficult to follow the safari, but the atmosphere doesn’t suit me.

ㄴLee Min-ho is number one no matter where he is in his weight class, so the atmosphere on the platform doesn’t seem to matter much, right?

ㄴI don’t know, Safari has very few foreign viewers, so it may lose a lot of viewers.

​

​

Starting with me, other Awaken creators also announced transfers.

​

Since there have been no cases of platform migration on an MCN basis like this so far, it felt like there was some kind of controversy related to it.

​

‘In times like this, it should be shown on TV.’

​

If I gave them time to discuss and then concluded among themselves that we were going to a place like safari, it was obvious that they wouldn’t react well when I told them I was going to Glitch.

​

Maria had me turn on the broadcast.

​

[Just Chatting/ Last broadcast, transfer announcement]

​

The broadcast turned on, I waited until the number of viewers rose to a certain level, and then I got straight to the point. The chat was full of calls to quickly announce where they would be moving to.

​

“Are you so curious about where I’m going?”

​

-say!!

-Let’s just go to Twatch comfortably, right?

-Right now, let’s go on a safari and have a refreshing water change.

​

[60 Second Ad Slayer donates 100,000 won!]

-Speak quickly.

​

After a brief pause, sponsorship and chatting erupted like an active volcano. The momentum was so intense that I naturally cleared my throat.

​

“Hmm, then I will make an announcement. My choice is… ”

​

– ㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱ

-Twatch? Safari?

-There is also a place called Punch overseas.

-Could it be a glitch?

​

When I took a quick look at the chat window, the word glitch appeared. I smiled softly when I saw that. Although awareness is significantly lower compared to other platforms, Maria’s recent efforts to spread the word have been rewarding.

​

“There is someone here who got the answer right. you’re right. The platform that I and the other Awaken creators are moving to is Glitch.”

​

-Eh?

-?

-really?

-no…

-You got it right!

​

As expected, viewers generally showed a mixed reaction. To those who didn’t know the situation, it might have seemed like the entire MCN was gambling on an unproven platform.

​

[Pauvely donated 10,000 won!]

-What on earth did you suggest there?

​

“There was nothing special about the suggestion. I chose it purely as a platform where I could show good broadcasts to viewers.”

​

-Is that a glitch?

-Still, it won’t be as good as Twatch or Safari.

​

“Because it is a new platform, I understand that some people may view it as untrustworthy. However, we have already completed all server and broadcast tests. I participated in the test myself, and it has more powerful capabilities than any existing streaming service.”

​

-Is it really that much?

-hmm…

-No matter what Mino says, it’s hard to believe it.

-Aren’t you just telling me to install a strange program?

-As long as there are no problems with viewing…

-Mino: Didn’t you get scammed?

​

Viewers reacted with disbelief. In fact, it is a natural reaction. I would have thought it was a fraud if someone had said that a new company that suddenly appeared had a service technology that surpassed not only Korea’s leading streaming company but also companies that account for more than half of the global streaming market.

​

“If the environment was such that viewers could not watch the broadcast comfortably, they would not have moved no matter how much money was paid.”

​

-Anxiety, anxiety…

-Mino must have tested it well.

-Why not transfer?

​

“As I mentioned in the notice, the reason I am transferring is because I want to try more diverse content. Apparently, YouTube was temporarily suspended once… ”

​

[Doorbell Villain donates 10,000 won!]

-What on earth are you going to do?

​

I shrugged. That should be left for later enjoyment.

​

I didn’t feel the need to defend Glitch’s service level passionately because I couldn’t understand it until I saw it in person.

​

You will understand it when you look at it.

​

“This is a contract that I finally got permission to make public after making a request to the company, but I am only showing it to my viewers.”

​

As I waved my hand, an image window appeared in the air.

​

Rumbling.

​

Viewers who saw the image file of the contract stuttered in the chat.

​

-Technology use agreement… ? What is this?

-hmm… I completely understand (I don’t know a thing)

-I signed a contract with Awaken, what does that mean?

-I heard they were going over as a group.

​

[Onion Pizza donates 10,000 won!]

-Mites. Please explain easily.

​

“Hmm… How do I explain this?”

​

At first glance, Glitch was a company that had nothing to do with Awaken. This was because doing everything in one place could attract unnecessary attention.

​

However, there was no need to completely separate the two companies. In the first place, since the real purpose of both was to assist my broadcast, it was easy to have something in common with each other.

​

This was a contract for that purpose.

​

“To put it simply, it is a contract in which Awaken provides Glitch with the right to use technology for broadcasting.”

​

-what… ?

-Technology for broadcasting?

-no way?

-So you can also use the techniques that Glitch showed in MT?

​

“You can say so.”

​

-Wait a minute, then the glitch is…

-Awake Bay…

-Other streamers…

​

​

​

In response to my reply, the chat list began to explode again. I deliberately delayed answering the barrage of questions for a while.

​

‘It’s better to see and confirm for yourself.’

​

“Then you should get a taste of what kind of platform it actually is, right? The rest of the story will continue after I turn on the broadcast on Glitch. ”
