[Camilla Enthusiast donated 50,000 won!]
– Can we ban that person as a reaction to the 50,000 won donation?
Honestly, I know very well that such behavior isn’t exactly the most desirable from a broadcasting standpoint.
Through donations, one makes excessive demands of the streamer in exchange for money. A mere viewer dares to challenge an area they shouldn’t even think of invading.
Banning is a unique power of the streamer. Only the room’s manager can issue bans, and Jin was someone who the streamer had given and then revoked that power.
I’m neither the owner of the room nor a manager appointed by Haim. For me to demand the ban of another viewer is absurd.
Regardless of whether it’s a donation or whatever, trying to manipulate the streamer is, to put it bluntly, a rat shake. It’s a term for shaking something, implying the kind of behavior that happens frequently in Hako’s room.
I know this method is wrong. Why have rules and laws otherwise? If it gets out that I’ve done something like this, I could end up on a page titled “Streamer/Kayak/Controversy” on Namu Wiki.
It’s all common knowledge. I know it all too well.
So what?
I can’t deny it was a rather impulsive action, but having done it, I feel no regret for my choice.
That Timtim or Thamtam is really getting on my nerves. To constantly hurl insults at a user diligently playing our Abyss, especially a young player trying to handle Camilla.
His actions were like kicking the snowballs made by kids or trampling on the sprouts that are just beginning to grow.
As a gamer, it was something I simply couldn’t tolerate. Especially since I have experienced the times when the user count was low and every new player was precious.
‘Even if my identity is exposed…’
Speaking for the Abyss gallery, I was justified. If we think about it, isn’t this the good kind of rat shake?
Honestly, Haim probably knows this too. One shouldn’t leave such viewers unchecked. They spoil the atmosphere of the room and become a barrier to new viewers who are trying to join.
They know it but are too scared to act. I just gave them the push they needed.
– Hieeek…! Wait, what is this?
– Camilla Enthusiast donated 50,000 won! Such a large amount… Thank you so much!
“Such a huge amount of money… Thank you so much!”
As expected of a VTuber, I couldn’t verify it in person, but judging by the avatar’s eyes widening like lanterns, it seemed she was genuinely surprised.
The chat was buzzing faster than before. Given the reactions, it was likely that this level of donations was either a first-time occurrence or quite rare.
While Haim was busy expressing endless gratitude, it seemed she finally checked my demands and smiled awkwardly.
– “Oh, um… Reactions. Are you saying that we should ban that person, Timtim… based on reactions?”
– “I’m sorry. Even so, I think banning should be done… with caution.”
It was a frustrating response, but it was also what I expected.
Hadn’t most of the viewers asked for a ban earlier? Now, someone who said they shouldn’t ban is suddenly receiving donations and wanting to do it?
That was problematic in its own way.
– “Even though Timtim talks like that… they’re actually a long-time viewer of our channel. They’ve watched for a while.”
[It’s a show of affection ^^ They probably misunderstood since it’s their first time here.]
[They have watched for a while, though.]
[So, does watching for a long time give them a title?]
[Haim, ban that person ㅠㅠ]
According to Haim, at that moment, a comment from that very person popped up. As I read it, I nearly laughed in disbelief.
“A long-time viewer…”
It seemed to be true that, as Haim said, they had indeed watched her stream for a long time. The disgruntled comments in the chat were proof of that.
The term “show of affection” only sounded ridiculous. What kind of loyal viewer expresses their affection like that?
Of course, in some streams where the banter between the streamer and viewers is heightened, insults like “punk” and “idiot” do fly around, but Haim didn’t seem to be running that type of show.
“Without even subscribing.”
In other words, a freebie, looter. Did they even try donating once? And then they call themselves a loyal viewer? I doubted it.
They were just a malicious viewer choosing a weak Hako stream and using the streamer as an emotional trash can, ruining the vibe of the room.
“This is what a true fan is like.”
In the end, all I had to do was show Haim what a real viewer is.
To help.
I started moving the mouse again.

[Camilla Enthusiast has donated 100,000 won!]
[Camilla Enthusiast has subscribed to Haim’s room for 1 month!]
[Camilla Enthusiast has gifted 20 subscription passes!]
What on earth is happening?
What is going on in my broadcast?
Streamer Haim felt a dizzying sensation in the sudden chaos.
‘100,000 won… how many times has that happened already?’
It was an amount I thought I’d never see on my stream.
Even a 1,000 won punch, commonly referred to, was extremely precious to Haim. So when viewers threw a 1,000 won punch, Haim would react dramatically and over the top.
But what about now? This mysterious benefactor had just thrown down enough to make a hundred 1,000 won donations.
So easily, like tossing a 1,000 won punch.
‘Is this… what they call a big spender?’
A big spender, often referred to as the chairman. Someone rumored to toss money around in various streams or stay in one specific room, showering it with donations at every opportunity.
Haim had been streaming for just over three months now. Being inexperienced and struggling with setting up audio and other issues compared to pro streamers, she never thought such a big spender would show up in her room. She assumed it was out of reach.
Such people were usually the big streamers known as corporate giants. Haim thought they only frequented streams like that of ‘Kayak,’ which she had been watching often recently.
[Hangover Teacher! Loyalty loyalty ^^7]
[Ah lol, subscription passes can be copied]
[Wow… They must really be rich]
[Time to… react?]
The atmosphere of the stream improved. The chat was livelier than before.
Everyone’s nicknames had clover symbols in front of them, thanks to that big spender showering subscription passes.
“Camilla Enthusiast… How can I repay you?”
Without realizing it, a slightly choked voice slipped out. The sight of a big shot promising to become a devoted fan and donating because the broadcast was so much fun felt like a recognition of Haim’s hard work.
[Camilla Enthusiast donated 10,000 won!]
– If you become a Camilla master like the broadcast title says, that’s enough for me because I love Camilla.
“Ah…”
Haim wasn’t a fool. She knew what this big shot was expecting.
[Hmm… Is that all?]
[They must be really rich! Wow ^^ What a classy way to show off money!]
[But real fans are people like me, not those trying to buy attention with donations like you. Someone who continuously watches the broadcast even without money. Those viewers are more precious to Haim!]
Chat messages were swiftly rising as if in a fit.
The nickname attached felt particularly grating today.
Just then, another donation came in like a hammer.
[Camilla Enthusiast donated 10,000 won!]
– Almost said that a real fan doesn’t spend a dime on the streamer…
“Pffft!”
Haim couldn’t hold back her laughter at the donation; it resonated deeply with her.
She knew the truth. She knew it but didn’t push it away because she craved even that trivial attention.
But now, with a superior alternative popping up, was there any reason to let the big shot, who wanted to squash pests, be left alone?
– Do you want to forcefully eject (Timtim) from the chat?
The decision didn’t take long.
Click.
[Kya!]
[This is it~~~]
[So-oo comfy!]
[Justice has triumphed!]
Seeing the chat celebrating, Haim bowed her head. It was an apology to the viewers who had suffered from her wrong judgment.
“I’m sorry I should’ve done this sooner, everyone.”
But the viewers reassured her, saying it was okay.
Including the big shot president.
[Camilla Enthusiast donated 10,000 won!]
– Wasted time because of that weird person, let’s get back to the game ㄱㄱ
“Yes…!”
Haim turned the cue with a bright face.
The Camilla on the screen was also smiling back at her.
