Chapter Index

    Minho didn’t have to bother to turn on the stream and ended the stream earlier than usual. They also made room for the viewers to enter the Awaken members who would start broadcasting later.

    It was a necessary consideration because, at a weight class of Minho’s, like a glitch, viewers of a platform that had just started were sucked in like a black hole.

    By the time Minho ended streaming, he had reached 80,000 followers. Considering that there were quite a few viewers who didn’t click ‘follow’ like a tree frog because they intentionally wanted Minho to broadcast for a long time, it was by no means a small number.

    And even now, that number was rising at a rapid pace.

    I was lying in bed watching streamers live on Glitch.

    [Straight Stretching donates 100,000 won!]

    -Did you receive the mission?

    “Wow! 100,000 won donation!!! thank you!! Mission? What mission is it?”

    [Sponsored 10,000 won by Straight Stretching!]

    – Please bother me with the sponsorship notification window. If possible, pull it straight out.

    “Eh… ? That kind of mission… ?”

    [Straight Stretching donates 100,000 won!]

    “Anniiiit!!! 100,000 Won Cool Done!! Thank you!! I will completely rip off the sponsorship window today!!”

    ‘hmm… ‘You’re using the function very well.’

    When he first received the mission, he seemed hesitant due to the strange nature of the mission, but when additional support came in, he rushed forward with his eyes shining.

    It was almost like tearing someone to pieces.

    Although the management AI will cut out requests that cross the line, it still bothered me a little, but fortunately, the streamer who was harassing me by pulling hard on the notification window was smiling brightly on his face.

    After all, is the most enjoyable thing in the world worth money?

    As both viewers and streamers were looking at the happy scene, Maria gave an additional explanation.

    -Originally, that streamer only had double-digit viewership before signing with Awaken. Even though it’s an open special, it’s the first time it’s received four digits of viewers, so they’ll be happy. Still, I just didn’t have the opportunity, but since I’m a talented person, I’ll probably grow greatly if I seize this opportunity well.

    Maria was right. If you watch it, you can see that he is truly enjoying the broadcast. Even if the number of fans drops as time goes by, I think I will be able to convert quite a lot of the influx into my fans.

    ‘Most of the creators that Awaken signed in the first place were people like that.’

    The same thing happened when I looked at other streams.

    Everyone was playing with Glitch’s new features with happy faces. It was a very desirable way to promote the benefits of glitches while also having fun.

    Perhaps because I showed myself playing around with the sponsorship notification window in my first stream, many streamers were following suit.

    Thanks to this, viewers are pouring out donations, and streamers are excited to show their reactions. Some streamers even showed a performance of attaching sponsorship labels of different amounts to body parts such as the forehead, shoulders, and chest.

    You may not know it, but Awaken’s streamers must have received quite a lot of support through this MT content and glitch transfer.

    Even I alone made tens of millions of won through MT content alone. Perhaps if you work hard on broadcasting this month, you’ll be able to earn a hefty sum of money?

    At the point where I was able to bring in precious metals from my travel destinations and sell them, my financial constraints were almost gone, but I felt proud because it meant that I was getting better results.

    -Still, we have to control the amount of imports at one time and the speed of releasing products to the market, so the more pipelines for imports, the better.

    ‘that’s right. Once she earns it, there’s a lot more she can do.’

    As I was lying on the bed and blinking, a soft but strong arm wrapped around my waist.

    Wow~

    The person whose arms hugged me tightly was Janey.

    She lay next to me and watched my face while I browsed the glitch site. Then, when he seemed to have finished appreciating it, he hugged me like a cat seeking attention.

    “Looks like the first start was successful?”

    “That’s right. Maria had a big contribution in this matter.”

    He answered by raising his hand and stroking her bare shoulder.

    Janey enjoyed being touched like a purring cat. She leaned closer to me and wiggled her hands on my waist.

    “So what are you going to do next?”

    “Hmm… ”

    I looked up at the ceiling and thought about what Janey said.

    Although Glitch successfully launched its service, we still have to wait and see for the time being.

    ‘But Awaken, who is in charge of glitches, can take care of that.’

    I’m not familiar with programming, so all I had to do was roughly set the direction, but Maria was good at that, so I didn’t really need to help her.

    Once again, I thought it was a good idea to join New Kind.

    ‘There’s nothing to do right now other than continuing the broadcast, right?’

    With that conclusion, I turned over and got on top of Janey who was next to me.

    “… Should we start by harassing Janey here?”

    “To harass you?”

    He responds in a somewhat pitiful tone, but his facial expression doesn’t change much. Rather, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised.

    I held her in my arms.

    “Aaaah!”

    As if Janey had expected this, she screamed with pleasure.

    “”

    A few days have passed since Glitch launched its service.

    People were excited about the new platform, which was armed with a variety of features they had never seen before.

    Streamers who were not affiliated with Awaken also began to secretly transfer to Glitch. Those who were quick-witted moved on by doing a lot of promotion on the previous platform and attracting as many viewers as possible.

    The number of users on Glitch’s site was growing explosively thanks to word of mouth word-of-mouth and fans following the streamer.

    Now people had no choice but to admit it.

    Glitch, which they had suspected, had emerged as a strong competitor in the existing streaming industry.

    [Fact] So what can we do?]

    Glitch? It’s a new site

    Transfer? I don’t know about Twatch, but it’s true that transferring people from other platforms is a bold choice.

    viewers? It’s true that viewers also find it annoying to go to a new platform.

    But have you ever seen a show like this?

    (Photo of attacking a monster by launching one’s body while exploring a dungeon)

    (Photo of Maria smiling brightly with the trophy in a cyberpunk-style room)

    (Picture of playing around with sponsorship notification window and chat)

    Since all the Awaken streamers have gone to Glitch, this is the only place you can see these streams anymore.

    Well, I would rather not come back without losing viewers… Are they just saying there is no substitute?

    -Then what can we do?

    There’s nothing we can do. Get some popcorn ready.

    ㄴThis is correct. If you are not a streamer, you can just watch haha.

    -Fuck, that’s right?

    -Is there any glitch app? I should get it in advance

    Please look for it yourself.

    [The fact that glitches are doing so well is an opportunity for hackers]

    If Glitch and Awaken signed a technology use agreement, then other streamers who broadcast on Glitch can also use the same shitty technology as Awaken, right?

    -I’m already doing everything.

    -Has this guy been living in a cave?

    [Verification completed, glitch wins by a landslide]

    Now, those who come in late are at a loss.

    The only way to survive is to quickly escape from Safari, which has run into operational issues and is slow to respond, and where the platform image has been ruined, and move on to the new world of Glitch.

    I too am trying to become a streamer starting today ㅇㅇ

    -Don’t Safari or Twatch have that kind of technology?

    ㄴAt least it won’t be made within a few years.

    -What are you broadcasting?

    ㄴNetcam Vertuber

    Damn you…

    Streamers who were not affiliated with Awaken gradually began to fill Glitch’s stream list. Some people were hesitant, but once they started broadcasting on Glitch, they could not go back to the previous platform due to the difference in technology.

    Simply new technology is enough to be competitive, but all platforms except Glitch have flaws.

    Some people say that Glitch is a new platform and problems have not yet occurred, but it is also undeniable that it now has a clean image.

    And, taking advantage of the transfer trend, some people were seen posting streaming how-to videos on YouTube to attract views from those who had already started streaming on Glitch.

    “The UI itself that viewers feel is not much different from Twatch’s! Instead, the UI on the broadcaster side has changed a lot!”

    “Previously used broadcasting programs such as OBS and

    “But here too, there is a difference from the existing program.”

    “Existing programs were essentially just using strategies posted by others, but Glitch’s broadcast program allows you to leave your own custom settings to the management AI!”

    “99% of streamers only use very limited features of OBS or XSplit. However, Glitch’s program analyzes each streamer’s broadcasting tendencies and recommends necessary functions at that time!”

    “You can use 100% of the functions you need without having to spend hours or dozens of hours looking for study videos!”

    “Well, this may be bad news for tip video creators like me… This is also possible.”

    “AI. Please tell me 3 random features that people don’t use often.”

    When a YouTuber asked a question to the management AI through chat, a list of the functions he was looking for appeared next to the broadcast program.

    “This is a function that shows the streamer where the viewer clicked on the screen. Doesn’t this seem like a useful feature when playing puzzle games or something like that? I don’t think I’ll use it much, but it’s definitely a nice feature to have.”

    “Oh… Is this an eye tracking function? Wow, eye tracking can be done with just a program and no equipment? Even though this isn’t a function I use often, the equipment isn’t cheap, right? Honestly, the cost of purchasing such equipment when creating content is quite burdensome, but it would save a lot. Additional features… A feature that prevents the notification window from disappearing when the streamer is reading donations! It’s definitely a good feature to have.”

    “This is a function that appears as a gift box so that the donation amount cannot be known… Is it like a random box? If you tap the box, it opens like a firecracker. This needs to be tested live… Tsk.”

    “Anyway, there are a lot of features that assist the content or become content in themselves.”

    Thanks to people spreading the word about the story, Maria no longer had to secretly spread the word.

    And at the same time, many people with heavy hips smelled the money and started moving. From individuals such as large streamers, to companies, and… Even secret groups operating behind the law.
