Chapter 4: The Rise of the Fan Channel and the First Opportunity.

To find the time when internet broadcasting was a blue ocean, you’d have to go back about six years further than now, even after returning to the past of five years ago.

As such, there are really diverse and numerous people who broadcast.

You could use the internet broadcasting platform ‘Treech’ when you want to know the various human types in the world.

If you set the channel sorting condition to the number of viewers and scroll down, you can see really diverse people.

The viewers are all between 30 and 1, but they all have different capabilities and possibilities.

It’s not a good thing to judge people only by their first impressions, but most viewers evaluate streamers they see for the first time based on their impression in the first few minutes.

I’ve been watching internet broadcasts for longer, and I’ve been indirectly involved in the industry, so I can distinguish them a little faster.

Let’s say I scrolled down and clicked on a streaming.

There are things you can know just by watching the broadcast for about 2 minutes.

Whether this person has at least some potential, or whether they are not suitable for internet broadcasting at all.

Charm.

Characteristics.

Fun………

The words that can be the criteria can be listed continuously, but it’s not something that’s decided by quantitative evaluation based on clear criteria anyway.

You don’t need special eyes either.

You just know it when you see it.

It’s a slightly cruel fact, but there’s an even crueler fact than that.

The person who gives you the feeling that they shouldn’t be broadcasting and the person who makes you think, ‘Wow, they’re charming’ have a similar number of viewers.

In the world, there are quite a few times when you don’t even get the chance to be evaluated for your first impression.

About 30 days after starting the EunSiyu fan channel.

EunSiyu, whose number of broadcasts has recently increased explosively, currently had about 150 viewers.

Even if you make a movie with the same story, the work that comes out of the hands of a third-rate movie director is different from the work that comes out of the hands of a first-rate movie director.

The same goes for novels or dramas.

The taste you can feel depends on who describes a scene, and ordinary people can’t keep up with what geniuses create.

Talent.

The area where innate things work more than knowledge and experience also exists in video editing.

Video editors with magical senses are real creatures.

There are very many in the movie field rather than in YouTube editing, but there are some among YouTube editors too.

In the case of movie directors, the superiority of capabilities is divided by visual beauty, etc., and in the case of novelists, it is divided by the writing ability of the text.

The same goes for YouTube editors.

Just as the taste differs depending on the cook even when cooking with the same ingredients, the taste of the video differs depending on the editor.

The taste of the video.

To be more specific for my field, the degree to which the taste of the broadcaster in the video is brought out is different.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean that channels that use good editors succeed.

It’s similar to the situation of the broadcasters on Treech mentioned earlier.

Let’s say there’s a restaurant that sells delicious food.

It’s so delicious that you keep going back once you eat it.

The thought that it will definitely succeed often goes wrong in reality.

This is because, from the consumer’s point of view, if there is no opportunity to know that they sell delicious food, they will never know that fact.

‘…It’s going up well.’

I watched all the uploaded videos once and finished the final inspection.

After that, I got up from my chair and threw myself on the bed.

My body was demanding rest.

About a month has passed since I started uploading videos to the fan channel.

For the first two weeks, the material for the videos was EunSiyu’s broadcast replays.

New broadcasts were continuing to pile up, but I had a desire to put the videos on the channel in chronological order, starting with the first broadcast.

It was something that was only possible at this point in time, when she hadn’t been broadcasting for long, so I pushed myself a little to catch up.

So now, after a month, the videos on the EunSiyu fan channel contained the content of the recent broadcasts.

I could confidently say that it wasn’t the quality of a fan channel.

I’m not saying this after putting in flashy and complex special effects, or excessively putting in memes that don’t fit the context.

I edited it neatly.

My original style was to make sure that it wasn’t distracting when watching the video, and I focused on showing the parts that you should find interesting when watching the current broadcaster EunSiyu.

To roughly summarize, it’s someone who is serious about LoL.

What happens when a woman with a pure voice plays the national game LoL at the highest tier?

Even if internet broadcasting is a red ocean, it’s a talent with characteristics that aren’t well supplied.

It was a taste that people couldn’t help but be drawn to even if I didn’t do anything.

If they watched it even once, that is.

The number of subscribers was on the rise.

In fact, it was a steep rise that was hard to imagine with the number of subscribers that a channel starting with 0 subscribers could get in a month.

It was thanks to a few videos getting on the algorithm a few times.

The YouTube algorithm uses statistics to select videos that people will find fun and interesting to watch.

Although it is not known exactly, there are speculations that it is based on data such as how long users watch the video when they are recommended and click on it.

They also look at the sincerity of the activity and the content of the video.

That was why I started working my butt off when the first influx of people came in.

Although it was a small influx, the more users who came in through a recommended video felt interested and watched other videos piled up on the channel, the more the effect was maximized.

I edited and uploaded the videos.

One every 1 or 2 days.

I spent time at the level of a student preparing for the civil service exam.

I repeated eating, sleeping, and editing without any time to do anything else.

The result was the current result, which was so amazing and surprising that it wasn’t enough to add the modifier many times.

One month after starting the EunSiyu fan channel.

The number of subscribers on the channel surpassed the number of Treech followers of EunSiyu.

To be exact, they were neck and neck.

It was related to the fact that EunSiyu had drastically increased the number and time of broadcasts about 2 weeks ago.

The influx of people didn’t leave and gradually accumulated.

Accordingly, it was gradually becoming known.

People were flowing in from Treech to the fan channel, which was the only one dealing with EunSiyu’s videos, and the people who clicked on the videos on the fan channel were flowing into the live broadcast on the contrary.

So-called small-scale broadcasters were growing.

It was similar to thinking that the speed of that process had been boosted several times.

8,000 subscribers was such a figure.

But, it’s not enough to be a decisive blow.

Of course, the wealth of office workers who steadily earn money and save it gradually accumulates solidly.

But if you win the lottery even once in a small way, you can accumulate several times as much wealth as you have saved so far at once.

Right now, EunSiyu is accumulating wealth as a well-paid professional.

But with that alone, you can’t build a broadcast of the scale called a mid-sized or large company.

What’s needed is a jackpot like the lottery.

The audience that enjoys Legend of Legacy broadcasts is very large.

A big blow was needed to make those people able to taste EunSiyu’s broadcast.

Creating such a blow was far outside the scope of what I could do with my abilities.

It was something that required the luck to win the lottery and EunSiyu’s own skills to protect what she had gained by luck.

A lottery that will be a hit.

The fact that a broadcaster catches this can only be indirectly explained using the words luck and skill.

This is because the occasion and method for realizing that hit are different for each broadcaster in the first place.

If I had to find even the slightest commonality, it would be to attract the attention of the audience of large broadcasters.

If there are internet broadcasters A and B who play the game Legend of Legacy, the two are competitors and collaborators at the same time.

Let’s say they broadcast together one day.

They are introducing each other to viewers who didn’t know each other.

If they like it, people who watch A’s broadcast may also watch B’s broadcast together.

The videos uploaded to YouTube will gradually be watched by both of them.

If EunSiyu is broadcaster A, she has enough taste to catch the eye when the opportunity comes.

That was the part that corresponded to skill among luck and skill.

Even if I take off the blindfold that’s been put on my eyes, that’s for sure.

So what’s needed is broadcaster B.

It’s the realm of luck.

The larger the scale of the broadcaster, the better.

But that’s a really difficult thing, so I’m calling it the lottery.

In that way, another week passed after reaching 8,000 subscribers.

5 weeks after starting the EunSiyu fan channel.

About 3.5 weeks of EunSiyu broadcasting 6 days a week.

[Oh… then do I need to find one more ADC and Jungler? Ah, it’s hard to balance.]

That was when the first opportunity came.
