Chapter 172

Haryeong’s work was wrapped up like that.

While collaborating together, I sliced through the malicious viewers that I could see, one by one.

Honestly, at first, I hesitated a little. I wondered if I could really interfere so carelessly in someone else’s broadcast.

But seeing those chat messages right before my eyes, I couldn’t hold back as a fan. Where were these people even coming from? It was oddly satisfying to slice through them as they kept coming, even doing a little dance of my own.

Of course, my actions were just a temporary fix. I couldn’t keep going to take care of the malicious viewers every time, and if I did that, it would only diminish Haryeong’s position as the broadcast owner.

I merely showed what I thought was the right choice. Ultimately, the decision was up to Haryeong.

After that, I watched the broadcast a few more times, and luckily, it seemed like she had gathered herself together. It was nice to see her confidently cutting down the malicious viewers, and I felt a bit proud as if I had some share in it.

After that, people started visiting my broadcast claiming to be Haryeong’s viewers.

[Haryeong. Yeonhwa donated 100,000 won!]

– Thank you, Kayak! Thanks to you, Haryeong has regained her spirits!

“No, what have I done? I’ll gladly accept the 100,000 won. Thank you.”

[Just endless compliments…]
[Just goat]
[Damn, I accidentally saw Kayak again; now I have no choice but to worship her]
[I’m proud to be a fan of Kayak]
[If there are 7 billion fans of Kayak in the world, I would be one of them, and so on…]
[Qi Xun Bai]
[Seeing Haryeong and Kayak together looks great ㅇㅇ Do collaborations more often]

And so, the short worship time that had now become a daily routine for the broadcast passed.

[Kayak’s Foot Wiper donated 1,000 won!]

– So what now??

It was time to decide today’s content.

Usually, when this statement came up, I would have slightly changed the subject or directly asked the viewers what they thought we should do.

But today was different.

“Today, you see…”

I trailed off my sentence, curling the corners of my mouth up slyly.

Viewers who noticed the difference in my usual demeanor began to react.

[What is this? Did she prepare content?]
[Did Kayak prepare content?]
[The embodiment of lazy broadcasts, Kayak, ㄷㄷ]
[Our broadcast host is world-class, for sure;;]
[My Child Has Changed]

[Kayak can’t stop bringing content]

“Anyone who sees me would think I turn on the broadcast without any preparation every day.”

[Lee has donated 1000 won!]

– Not true?

“Yep, unfortunately, I came prepared today, so that’s a no. Now, the content for today is…”

I moved the mouse to display the screen I had prepped in advance.

“Survey game! Let’s take some time to find out what kind of viewers we have in my room right now.”

*

In reality, this content was originally meant to be for a V-Tube subscriber milestone event celebrating 1 million subscribers. It’s like conducting the usual Q&A event but in reverse.

Instead of the streamer answering questions, the viewers will be the ones giving the answers.

“Recently, we’ve had a lot of new people coming into the room. And just the other day, I saw a comment from a viewer in their 40s on V-Tube. So I got curious. What kind of people are actually watching my broadcasts? How old are they, and what do they usually do?”

There are various kinds of people in the world. Basically, every person is different. Interestingly, while there might be people who are somewhat similar, there’s no one who is exactly the same.

[Hmm… Do we really need to know?]

[Half of them are probably unemployed.]

[It would’ve been better just to do it on V-Tube, lol.]

[V-Tube is full of kids, anyway.]

[I’d rather have kids; a loser scratching their belly and watching broadcasts is worse…]

[If you’re gonna complain, don’t. The broadcast host went through all the trouble to bring content, and you’re just sulking.]

[There are lots of people who work decent jobs, so why?]

“Um, um, let’s not fight, everyone. I understand what you’re saying. It’s alright. Those who want to participate in the survey can, and those who don’t can just watch. Just to add a little bit, not having a job isn’t something to be ashamed of. Everyone has their own time to bloom; it’s just a matter of whether you get there quickly or slowly. To put it bluntly, even a millionaire CEO or a property owner could have a heart attack and kick the bucket tomorrow, right?”

[That conclusion is a bit weird.]

[Wait, weren’t you supposed to be comforting us?]

“So basically, what I meant is, since you never know how life will turn out, don’t get too discouraged. I’m doing well now, but I used to struggle a lot in the past! Anyway, that’s enough of the intro… I’ve dropped the link, so those who want to participate in the survey, go ahead!”
“I raised the stakes, so if anyone wants to participate in the survey, please do so!”

“I said that, but I really hope a lot of people join in. I put a lot of thought into these questions, so it would be a shame if no one answered.”

Maybe my wishes were heard because most of the viewers who were whining ended up participating in the survey.

“Shall we close it soon? Wow! You all participated a ton! A total of 18,276 people! That’s nearly 90%, right? Thank you! I’ll make sure to use your responses well in my broadcast content.”

[Here we go]

[Am I really going to be immortalized on KayakTube?]

[Mom, I’m on the broadcast!]

“Alright, first up is age. 10s are 27%. 20s are 41%. 30s are 21%. 40s are 8%. The rest is about 3%.”

I kind of expected 20s to be the most, but I didn’t think the 10s would be right behind them. Looks like there are more young friends watching my show than I thought. I was thinking the 30s would be next.

[Kids these days watch a lot of broadcasts]

[30s are too busy working]

[Divide the 20s and 30s into subgroups]

[Shouldn’t they be studying instead, those school lunchers? LOL]

[If you don’t study, you’ll end up like our jobless older brothers!]

[There are even some in their 40s, wow]

[How old are the rest?]

“Next up is gender. This is a bit surprising too. 80% male and 20% female? That’s a 4 to 1 ratio? Why are there so many girls in my room?”

[Older sister, you’re so pretty I can’t help but keep watching]

[Older sister (clumsy)]

[I started watching because of my female friends]

[Looks like being on public broadcast really helped]

[I saw a lot of people coming in after watching those idol dance shorts last time]

[Honestly, gender isn’t really that important]

And then we kept rolling on through. It might not mean much, but I asked if they have a driver’s license, if they have a car, and what their blood type is. It’s a bit mindless, I admit. But that’s the charm of this kind of content.

“You wrote ‘Kayak’s ideal type’ under blood type. Hmm. Did you know what my ideal type is and write that? What’s my ideal type, you ask? Well, that’s a secret.”

[If you don’t watch Kayak’s broadcast, you’ll get ‘death’ LOL]

[What else could it be but a good-looking person?]

[No, no, Kayak’s ideal type is Camilla.]

[Are you seriously asking that when you can see how head over heels Kayak is for Camilla?]
“Lol, the housemates.”

“Hmm… More people have licenses. Vehicle ownership is fifty-fifty. Seems like there are a lot of teens and twenty-somethings. But most in their late twenties can finally get a car. These days, people are entering society later and later. I only have my license but no car either. I’m thinking about getting one, but honestly, I don’t have much to drive around for.”

“Just reading through the stats is fun. I’ve always liked hearing about how other people live, so I guess that’s why.”

“Shall we just collect the rest? Let’s pick a few more from the 18,000 and see.”

Flipping through the categorized viewers’ survey organized in Excel, starting with their occupations.

“Unemployed, unemployed, mega unemployed, at-home security guard, student on a break, high school student… I expected this, but there are definitely the most here. No, no! Don’t be sad! I’m just reading! Yeah, yeah, what’s the big deal about jobs? As long as you’re watching my broadcast, that’s what matters. If you guys aren’t here, my broadcast fails.”

“Oh, lol, serving as at-home security and kayaking broadcast.”

“I’m called a Biometric Viewing Bot~”

“Being unemployed is okay… it’s been a while since I heard such warm words.”

“Kayak is indeed the best, right? Oho.”

“There are some self-employed folks and restaurant owners… A small business boss? Wow, looks like this person is a boss. Drives a Mercedes Benz S-Class. Donating over ten million on average to internet broadcasts. Truly a big spender.”

At that moment, the grand fanfare sound, signaling a massive donation, rang in my ears.

[The small business boss donated 1,000,000 won!]

“I’m embarrassed that you’re reading mine, haha….”

“Oh, boss! If you suddenly give such a large amount! Thank you! Do you want a specific reaction? I just learned some dance moves recently. I’ll do a dance for our boss-.”

As if on cue, the chat room began to go wild.

“Now you know why you need to study hard, right? Listen up, youths?”

“Being unemployed is fine, right? Being unemployed is fine, right? Being unemployed is fine, right? Being unemployed is fine, right?”

“I said it’s fine, not that it’s good, okay?”

“Kayak is a person too, obviously, it’s better if they have a lot of money.”

“An unemployed person can’t do this, ㅠㅠ Sorry for being unemployed.”

“Shut up and give thanks to the boss who’s letting you watch the kayak dance, you freeloaders, lol.”

Later, I ended the survey fun after learning more about the various jobs of the viewers.
