Tangentially vtuber related: Twitch Korea is shutting down on Feb 27th. No more streaming from or watching streams on Twitch for South Korea.
Edit: A little more context: The South Korean Government and their ISP charge exorbitant "usage fees" for sites with heavy bandwidth. Twitch of course falls into that.

There's a pretty big vtuber agency over there called Isegye Idol, I guess they will all be moving their streaming activities to YT now. Outside of vtubing you have people like Faker so it's a big loss for Twitch, even if it wasn't cost-effective to keep the service running over there.Tangentially vtuber related: Twitch Korea is shutting down on Feb 27th.
This is the dark side of the "aren't girls cutest when they are almost retarded" memeSlow on the draw because I've been distracted, but man why do the games I like have to all be played by retarded women?

I wonder if this entire deal could swing the korean market to youtube and then subsequently make holo seriously consider a korean branch in order to break into a weakened market.Seems a big deal. Korea always was an outsized market and their streaming community is older than most, and therefore a lot of Korean streamers went to Twitch after AfreecaTV fell behind the times. YT streaming in Korea doesn't compare at the moment. There's also a number of English-language Koreans who stream on Twitch who won't be able to go back to AfreecaTV and its pretty much YT or death for them.
In vtuber terms Isegye is possibly the 4th most popular agency brand in the world after Hololive, Nijisanji, and VSPO. Yes even exceeding Vshojo. They'll be a pretty big boon to YT streaming if they move there.
Twitch Korea was always a pain for Twitch, and also always famously corrupt. Big streamers could DM their partner manager and get their friends partnered, random bans were far more common, rumors of streamers sleeping with Twitch KR managers, etc.
Better context: Twitch Korea was corrupt as fuck and mired in controversy. My guess is the changes over there prompted Twitch to just say "fuck it" and pull out entirely. Feel bad for the streamers there because a lot did really well with it. They can probably transition to Youtube, though. Or just stream by VPNing to Japan.
Lapu's joke nickname successfully trolled Twitch jannies.
Amitoxin is terminal.
Made me interested and watched the guy. All in all, It's actually the opposite. The list seems alright and he actually sounded very knowledgable despite only consuming vtubers through youtube clips, I'd say he even knows more than I do simply because he knows about some of the stars and I dont. The N word thing was from chat. He later moved her down to B.
Final ranking:
Conclusion: Hates GFE content, doesn't like japanese music, and only rating highly the funny/innovative ones.
Streamer name: uwu_to_owo
- suisei bumped to B-tier because suipiss
- Ayama bumped to C because she hates koreans
- God: got him into the hole through the bandage video
- Fubuki: got him into muse dash, knows about chinese drama
- F tier: Can't stand Luna/Ollie/Kiara's voice, also knows about Orange woman moments, saw Aki's having an orange woman moment about her stream numbers which offended him as a 2-view streamer.
- Coco: doesnt actually like her, hated reddit meme review, bumped to B because acknowledging her influence
- Hated pink woman at first, but now loving her as the entire industry tries to copy each other and she stays alone as someone who doesn't give a shit.
- Edit: added due confusion, his A is good, B is mid-meh, C is shit, D is doesnt care about them, F is personal vendetta.
Just to clarify some stuff:I don't disagree. But Uwu was like "You're in Hololive, shut up, into F-tier you go" to anyone doing that. Basically gay firing from the hip. I want to send the VOD to Pippa and have her tear him apart.

When I was into reading a lot of eroges it was always a blast to hear her happily sperging about Rance and other games, mainly because she didn't ignore the ero but also developed the discussion into the cool parts, not just the hot girls. Even if you're not able to read jp, MTL would be enough for her written column.himari snip2

hololive is really timid when it comes to graduation details and so are their ex-talents (probs signed NDAs) so I dont think you'll hear from them unless a big yabs happens, same as most other big corps really.I think that's it. I partially agree with him on the Akirose take because she is in Hololive: you already get a good base wage and a 50% cut, and you only get fired if you fuck up really badly or if you decide to leave, but if anyone is able to refresh my memory of any holo that was forced to graduate or straight up terminated without any yabs, hit me up I guess.
The Koreans are more willing to keep it a secret.How is this different from normal twitch?
