TLDR: I'm stepping back from writing about VTubers once I finish my current backlog. Not forever, but definitely a hiatus. I'm not taking on new projects unless the topic really interests me. VTubing ate me whole and spat me out, and I need time to recover and re-energise ✌️

This is pretty hard for me to post, I'm not good at asking for help. But tldr I can't currently pay my rent/bills. I know times are hard, but if you're able to help at all, I would appreciate it. streamelements.com/mikaakats… Non-tldr below ↓

My best friend has been hit by everything imaginable in the last few months or so. It would mean the world if you could support him - with your viewership, follow or money. He has juggled content with full-time work for years and deserves a break.

I have nothing but respect for the (now-ex) VShojo talents and staff I interviewed and knew. I don't want to call everything evil. But I hope the whistleblowing support inspires others to speak up to get industry change going. Silence only empowers this conduct.

Love supporting Aussie VTubers :) Enjoying the @virtulantes panel at SMASH!

A true changing of the guard is happening in VTubing with all these graduations. It's bittersweet to see. I hope we can celebrate those who move on gracefully while giving those trying to break through the same positive energy we did as a community years ago.

Fulgur's grad is hitting me hard. Now I've got less skin in the game: he was one VTuber I desperately wanted to interview. His unique way of storytelling, his camaraderie inside NIJI EN, his fandom's love; it's all special. He's truly one of a kind. His future will be bright.

Pioneer hololive English star Gawr Gura will graduate on May 1, 2025 JST. Official Statement: cover-corp.com/en/news/detai… Stream: youtube.com/live/7WFg2wq10rw
