Pochi Calls Out Idol Corp

[BlueSharkTV]

I feel like I need to point the obvious here: would you take a jew's side over a contractual dispute?

I mean, do you want your bank account to suddenly be on the negatives?

Some americans would do it out of fear a jewish hex would tank their credit score

RING-A-DING-DING @The Proctor AND @Reinigen

I was gonna make this post but you were quicker than me. Godspeed, Dragoon.

@The Proctor findom status?

 

[I Wanna Die]

This is so fucking pathetic holy shit, imagine blaming your old corpo for your recent failures, i literally KNEW the second she announced the donothon LITERALLY minutes after you debuted as fluffen that you were going to fuck it off again and now come wohoo woe is me im sad, and bailed with the money

You call it pathetic, I call it based. Queen got her bag and dipped while successfully shifting the blame 3 times.

Meh? I never gave her a cent.

This should have happened on December 30th, would have been a hilarious way to end the year.

It's just a shame no one saw this coming

Aviel teached her the ways and Ayyyy was the activation word

You know, I think there's good in this terrible incident. Many are outing themselves and the usual agents you'd expect to virtue sign are in the quotes. I hope people use their brain this time () :

You know if scammers are so entrenched in this medium why should we care to promote or endorse it? We already have shitheads like Kiki being protected by the usual suspect why the FUCK should the audience also support and endorse this as well?

Women I don't care about your problems. I've got fucking problems! YOU should care about others in YOUR scene driving it down.

Allow me to quantify it in words you zoomer brain thots can understand. People like Pochi will burn paypigs, maybe YOUR paypigs if you get their attention. Some horny asshat with more money than brains can be hooked in your grift, as long as that view isn't shattered. Shit like this WILL shatter them. Look at other paypigs getting burned. Yes some morons like the Boo bros will hop elsewhere to get burned again, but that is an anomoly. I know thots can excuse a lot of bullshit because they only think 10 seconds in the past, but when this happens this is where you frag the fuck and get them out of your scene to protect it.

i think something i (and others) said before is very applicable here.

Even if Idol was the blackest black of the black corpos.

that does not excuse you letting down the people who actually care about you. three times now and potentially more.

I don't think there's anything I can say that hasn't already been said, other than there should be increased protections audience-side for giving a chuuba large amounts of money several times over with nothing to see for it.

Is the solution increased legal oversight? I don't know, maybe! At the rate things are going, this sort of nuclear option may be necessary, as will the growing pains afterward when the "ez money train" has left the station. I do not trust the VTubing community at large to self-police things like this, especially when it's wrapped in several layers of calls to emotion and parasociality.

Everyone has their problems, yes! You do, I do, we all do, life's shit and we gotta roll with the punches! But not everyone can get away with raising large amounts of money, promising things to do with that money, and not delivering - let alone multiple times over! It is becoming increasingly more difficult for me to be sympathetic as time passes, and believe me, I desperately want to be! At the same time, I am easily emotionally manipulated, so I shouldn't be the one to run for defense in any sense of the word; she's a big girl, she can do it herself.

I feel like a sizeable amount of her "haters" would be converted to sympathizers if they were given the full story, but unfortunately this sort of thing is impossible due to her previous work, so what she can do during her hiatus is to slowly re-build her reputation in a way that doesn't include asking for money again. It's going to be a long, difficult path for her to take, but it's entirely up to her whether or not she wants to take it - but I strongly suggest she considers it, if she wants to continue VTubing in the future.

 

[Abomination]

I hate this stupid phrase, but fuck it. I'll say this "louder":

Donothons/subathons and other things like this should be done for special occasions and infrequently. If one does these often, and especially not fully deliver on any of them, people are going to be skeptical and criticize when that person continues to do them, no matter what the excuses for not delivering on the previous ones were. Pochi or whatever the hell she's going by now hasn't shown any growth from her "mistakes" because she keeps doing the same shit and piling on top of them. She has failed to deliver on every single donothon and has done more than any other vtuber I know of. At this point, if she wants to "move on from those past mistakes", she's going to need to roll with the punches and distrust in her and prove to everyone that she can actually "do better", and that'll take time. But I doubt she'll be doing any of that. I find it more likely that she'll eventually come back with another money-grabbing event before she actually does any actual damage control.

The thing that these people need to be incredibly cautious of is that this entire medium is primarily funded by voluntary donations that only happen due to goodwill toward streamers, and it's been a very long road getting to a point where this is viable. I feel like some of the younger people in the community might not remember this, but about ~10 years ago asking fans for donations was a huge faux pas for a variety of reasons, and it was only because enough reputable creators managed to very slowly and gradually ease their audience into supporting them financially through Patreon/stream donation goals etc. without compromising either the quality of their content or their personal integrity that it became a socially acceptable means of funding when the YouTube "adpocalypse" happened in 2017. That goodwill only goes so far though, and if people feeling they've been fleeced by creators they thought they could trust becomes too common of a trend then the overall attitude could easily turn back around in the other direction.

There are things I can look past with Fluffen/Pochi; I don't trust Aviel in the slightest so I don't doubt he was making the Idol donothon more difficult than it needed to be, and a lot of independent creators make the very easy mistake of putting an unmanageable amount of work on their plate so I wouldn't hold that against her if she were trying to get back on top of things. If she were just slowly chipping away at her outstanding commitments without promising any new goals or incentives until they're done I wouldn't have a problem, but her dipping again while complaining about people criticising her donothons leaves a really bad taste. While I agree that it's very easy for bad actors to tarnish your reputation unfairly, being able to host a personal fundraiser without getting backlash for it is a privilege for those who've earnt the wider public's respect, not an inherent right for anyone with an internet connection and a vtuber model.

Honestly donothons are an inherently sketchy concept. The whole point of them is to hold out something people want and are willing to pay for, but call it "donations" so that you don't have even the minimal obligation to deliver that crowdfunding involves. If the audience gets burned and learns to not trust them, that might be no bad thing.

For any chuuba that is work-oriented and wants to build a solid foundation over the long term:

Return to old fashioned “I provide product and/or service, you can pay for it if you want it” model of business, utilizing one’s streaming and overall brand as the prime method of advertisement (the “free sample”)

This would require actually creating something worth paying for, however; and that’s a lot of work, which many fail from the get-go. It’s hard work, yes, but the skills will transfer better post-vtubing than your standard fare (no, OF/Fansly doesn’t count)

In V-tubing, 4 things are certain:
- Debut
- Graduation
- @The Proctor vagueposting
- Pochi doing another donothon and then just running away with the money

Fixed my earlier post about this scamming fox. All I'm going to say is if you're still giving money to Pochi/Fenriru/Fluffen then you deserve to get scammed and laughed about it in a vtuber gossip forum.

 

[agility_]

Sure. It's not too difficult; don't take people's money and then, later, not deliver in return, because you will look like a goddamned con artist.

That reminds me of a post I made earlier

I for one hope she keeps doing them so we can start using them as a calendar tracking system. Kind of like how in Game of Thrones, they'll say "he's seen X winters".

So what are we going with? 4DE (4th Donothon Era)?

 

[httn]

She should have pivoted to findom. Her audience are clearly happy to give money for nothing in return, why even bother with the whole donathon charade.
