Chapter Title: The Stream Where Troll Chats Get Banned (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There's a saying called "GeuSeuGeuCheong."
Short for "that streamer, that viewer"—a meme born from the tendency for a streamer's audience to closely mirror their own personality traits.
For example, many of Kang Nari's viewers are smokers.
Similarly, most of Im Chan-ho's viewers are dead serious about Triachia.
"You're getting more comfortable spending money than before. I can really feel the troop volume ramping up, right?"
"By now, the opponent's main base resources should be completely tapped out. So, where do you plan to attack?"
"Why attack the main base without disrupting their resource income?"
"Pass."
"Focus on the engagement. If all your troops die, you'll get counter-turned and lose, so pull back before they get wiped."
"Good."
If viewers end up resembling their streamer's personality, then what kind of crowd are my viewers?
They must be a group of soft-hearted elites who habitually consider others and get treated like aces wherever they go.
Because that's the kind of person I am as the streamer.
"Banning."
"Why are you all doing this to me...? Even spending money...?"
But nope.
All 150 core viewers in my stream were, every last one, completely unhinged.
Why on earth?
"Of course. Gotta practice for the real thing, right?"
"Doesn't matter. Give it a shot."
Setting aside how to deal with these trolls for now...
I focused on the boss lady at hand.
The "practice" in question was, naturally, teabagging.
Could someone who's never once scratched an opponent weave elegant taunts on tournament day?
No way—so we're stacking experience ahead of time.
We hadn't revealed to viewers that we were practicing this yet, so this counts as the debut reveal.
"Hmm..."
"No resolve to absolutely scratch the opponent. How about 'Were you Yi Sun-sin in a past life?' instead."
"You can chain into 'But why try blocking a ghoul/reaper swarm with 12 battle mages?' Then close with 'Guess you were just a turtle ship noob after all.'"
Look at this.
The boss lady's viewers are half-laughing while begging not to corrupt her pure innocence with bad habits.
Meanwhile, my viewers are hyped, egging her on for more.
I couldn't fathom where this stark temperature difference came from.
"...As I've said repeatedly, backpedaling serves as a crucial social buffer to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings or discomfort during streams—."
I'm witnessing a mathematical miracle right now.
Starting from 150 viewers. Even after streaming for hours and dropping over 100 permabans...
The count's actually growing?
Slowly at first, now casually over 300.
Doubled, no less.
Objectively, this wasn't normal.
"Okay, banned folks are alts, fine. But where are these new ones coming from? Heard no-cam streams don't get much traffic."
"What's that...?"
I knew about the massive community sites named in the "■■Gal" format for each topic.
But I'd never set foot in one my whole life.
Days at work, nights all on Triachia.
Spare time was just replay reviews or YouTube from pros.
No interest in community activity, so this was news to me.
"...By any chance, lots of hate on me there?"
"Isn't worrying about that first totally normal...?"
"Anyway, no hate on me right now? Cool, that's fine."
Decided not to open Pandora's box.
If public opinion was really bad, it'd leak into chat somehow.
Deal with controversy then.
Besides, those communities are out of my reach.
Can't ban awkward "cute" comments like in my stream.
No need for self-harm by diving in.
Just avoid troll behavior in my visible turf.
"Great work. Your skill's improving fast lately—feels good."
"Before skill, Chan-ho just dumps everything on me..."
"Yep. Rest up."
Ding!
Boss lady's finally off.
No reason to solo stream, so end time for me too.
Glanced at viewer count.
Now over 450.
Way too many.
Personally prefer zero—more relaxing...
Small mercy: these inflows aren't her spillover; fresh faces.
Not bothering her fans, thankfully.
"I'm ending stream too. Thanks for dropping by... not loads, just moderately grateful. No need for alarms or favorites. If you're drowning in cash with nowhere to spend, donations accepted."
"Depends on you guys. The constant troll pouring makes me hesitate."
"Alright. To shed some inflows, I'll do the final prepared content, then really end."
"Do you know the boss lady?? Kang Nari—my busty beautiful disciple."
MS Paint, the default drawing app on my OS.
Fired it up and started sketching her with the mouse.
Of course, I'd never drawn a single picture in my life.
Couldn't, with only three fingers.
"Love our boss lady lots. Just four pics, then end stream. Oh, muting mic."
And so, I drew to the best of my subjective ability.
Honestly, even I got confused mid-draw if it was an arm or leg, so it ended up pretty grotesque.
By end stream, 170 viewers remained.
They got those four drawings that day.
