Chapter 24: Cyber ​​Locust Swarm

In the past.

To be exact, around March of this year.

There was a big incident on Switch.

The incident began with changes to some of Switch’s regulations.

[‘Sleep Broadcasts’ are no longer grounds for suspension, and a ‘Sleep’ category has been added to the broadcast categories.]

Previously, sleep broadcasts, so-called ‘zzim-bangs,’ were considered unmanned.

In other words, the broadcast was suspended because it was considered that there was no streamer broadcasting.

Suddenly, without any warning, Switch recognized zzim-bang as content, and streamers, riding on the hype, started doing zzim-bangs.

However, the streamers and viewers learned through an incident that there was a reason why zzim-bangs were grounds for suspension.

Here, there was an all-too-common female cam streamer A.

A decided to ride the trend and do a zzim-bang, and before doing the zzim-bang, she communicated with viewers, drank alcohol, and broadcast.

However, A drank too much that day.

It wasn’t the first time she had drunk too much during the broadcast, but until now, she had turned off the broadcast when she got drunk, following her instincts as a streamer, so no big problem had occurred.

However, on this day, she had promised to do a zzim-bang, so A, who was drunk, went to sleep with the broadcast on.

Unfortunately.

Her sleeping habit was to take off her clothes.

Because of her habit of sleeping without clothes on normally, she didn’t realize that the broadcast was on and took off her clothes.

[Turn off A-nim’s broadcast!!!!!]

[Turn off the broadcast!!]

[Manager-nim, don’t you have A-nim’s contact information??]

[Ah… I don’t have her contact information separately;;]

[I’m sending her KakaoTalk messages, but she’s not responding;;]

The viewers desperately tried to wake up A and end the broadcast.

But to the sleeping A, the chat was just a silent scream, and the manager, who was their only hope, didn’t know her contact information.

After that, the viewers tried to wake up A by all means.

[Chairman Oppa donated 100,000 won!]

[A, let’s turn off the broadcast and sleep, please. Get up!!]

They tried to make a high-priced donation that was set to make a very loud noise, and

[Loyal subject Oppa donated 10,000 won! (Video donation)]

They put all their efforts into waking her up by donating a video containing the military wake-up call.

Normally, her viewers are mostly referred to as ‘yuksu,’ a derogatory term, and are beings that are incomprehensible to outsiders.

But in the end, they were the ones who cherished and loved A the most, so
They desperately prayed to A to get up and turn off the broadcast so that A’s broadcast would not be suspended.

Please
Let nothing happen to A.

But a single post on the community shattered their prayers.

[She’s drunk and passed out and sleeping naked lololololol]

Whether it was because the title was provocative, or whether she was extremely unlucky,
Thousands of people, and soon tens of thousands of people, flocked to A’s broadcast in an instant.

The original viewers, of course, couldn’t handle them, and A’s broadcast became a playground for community members in an instant.

Chat spamming was basic, the mocking videos they liked were played one after another, and even adult videos were uploaded.

For several hours while the broadcast was being ruined, Switch did nothing, and after several hours, A herself woke up from her sleep and belatedly grasped the situation.

A’s appearance of hastily putting on clothes and looking blankly at the completely ruined chat window and broadcast environment was broadcast for about 10 minutes.

And after a while.

Switch, which had not taken any action while A was asleep, finally suspended the broadcast, and the message ‘Content has expired’ replaced her broadcast.

A was never seen on Switch again.

But they didn’t stop there.

Since tens of thousands of people had already gathered, they found the next target, saying it was a shame to end it like this.

So many streamers were nominated among them, and they became locusts that turned into locusts, and they devastated the places they passed.

Among the streamers, there were attempts to see their nomination as an opportunity to rise and actively accept it, but
Only a very small number of streamers who were nominated by them succeeded in embracing them, and the rest had their broadcasts devastated and lost even their existing viewers.

Therefore, I was so afraid of mentions of me appearing in the community.

Not to mention when I was a netkama, even now that I’ve become a real woman, I didn’t have the confidence to handle them.

This is my livelihood.

If the broadcast is ruined, the reality is that it will be difficult to pay even next month’s rent…

Even if there are only a few thousand, or even a few hundred, if that many people gather, there are bound to be a few strange people.

What if those strange people harbor malice toward me?

Now that my appearance and the area I live in have been revealed, what could happen?

The fear grew as I recalled the various incidents that had occurred on Switch.

So I made some preparations.

As a coping method that was most effective when the locust swarm was devastating Switch.

Until then,
I decided to try to cajole those people somehow.

Because this could be an opportunity.

The onrush was faster than I thought, but it was still within expectations.

Maybe I can cajole them well?

Unlike the streamers at that time, I’m greeting them knowing that those people are coming.

That’s what I thought…

It is said that knowing and practicing are different?

I thought I would be able to deal with it if I already knew what was going to happen, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Looking at myself freezing up and not being able to do anything when it actually happened in front of me.

On the monitor, I could see the chat going up so fast that my eyes were spinning and my own face with a blank expression, unable to do anything.

But I couldn’t stay like this forever, so I took the most important first step with difficulty.

“Ha, Ha Hiro Ha Hiro~ Welcome~ Nice to meet you all for the first time~”

It is often said that the most important thing in everything is to take the first step.

That’s right.

Nothing starts if you don’t take the first step.

However, if you have already taken the first step, that one step is

[Is this the Switch Goddess room? Is this the Switch Goddess room? Is this the Switch Goddess room? Is this the Switch Goddess room? Is this the Switch Goddess room? Is this the Switch Goddess room?

It’s just a step.

I have a thousand miles to go, what will change if I take one step?

Nevertheless, I’m moving my feet because

“Wait a minute, I’ve never had so many people come, but… why did so many people come all of a sudden?”

It must be from the belief that I’m getting closer to my destination, even little by little.

“Uh… everyone? First of all, let’s greet each other, let’s say hello. Welcome~ Ha Hiro~”

[Ugh…is she a non-virgin…? Disgusting…Ugh…is she a non-virgin…? Disgusting…Ugh…is she a non-virgin…? Disgusting…Ugh…is she a non-virgin…? Disgusting…Ugh…is she a non-virgin…?

I feel like I’m moving forward as I watch the scenery change little by little with each step I take.

[Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined, Sseop-bbaki dominates here Your broadcast is ruined]

Nothing changes, damn it.

I felt a strong sense of skepticism about my broadcasting ability.

Come to think of it,
If I was good at broadcasting, I wouldn’t have been able to grow from 50 viewers in a year.

I quickly grasped my subject and decided to give up cleanly.

“…I’m sorry~ This is my first time in this situation, so I think it will be difficult for me to communicate with you properly!”

“So I’m sorry, but I’m going to put on follow chat!”

Back when the locust swarm was sweeping through Switch, the coping method was surprisingly simple.

In the end, they just want to play, so if you don’t let them play, that’s it.

If you put on a follow chat that only allows people who have followed the broadcast for a certain period of time to chat, most of them will give up and go back.

Most of them aren’t trying to terrorize with malice, but just because they’re bored.

When I put on follow chat, the chat window, which was full of spam, became quiet again.

The viewers of my broadcast, who couldn’t make a sound because they were buried in spam, finally started talking.

[Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this]

[I guess the coordinates were marked somewhere again]

[Hiro-nim, are you okay?]

[Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…Noona…my there is strange…]

[I thought Hiro-nim’s videos were being uploaded here and there, but it’s like this;;]

Huh?
What, there’s a spy?

Anyway.

I succeeded in blocking the people who came.

Then, if I can just get these people to go back without harboring malice, everything will be solved.

“Mian, sorry everyone. I guess my vessel is too small to embrace you all.”
“I hope that in the future, you’ll come to see me, not like this.”
“Well~ I hope to see you again in a better way in the future~”

Good.
Not all of them, but the people who just came because they were swept away by the atmosphere will go back with this much.
Then, if I just deal with the remaining people well and get through today well
