There’s no fixed format for personal broadcasting.
Right after the broadcast starts, who knows what to do? Halfway through, who knows again? And at the end, it’s anyone’s guess!
No scripts, no outlines. Everything is up to the streamer, the owner of the broadcast. It’s all about improvisation and spontaneity. The way the broadcast unfolds totally depends on their skills.
Sure, you can have a rough idea of what today’s broadcast will be about, and you might want to mention some things halfway through—but it’s different from traditional broadcasting where scripts and behavior are strictly prescribed.
Personal broadcasting is truly a lawless land with no format! Every room has its unique way of broadcasting, leading to wildly varying atmospheres. That’s why you see memes that only apply to certain broadcasts.
The Taker’s show had a few of those too.
For example, there’s the “Taker Time” where even Buddha couldn’t stop the Taker from rambling on, or the meme suggesting the Taker’s income is around 3 billion a month.
Additionally, people who have watched the Taker’s broadcasts for a long time would know about some of their quirks.
Before diving into the main content, the Taker always spends 1-2 hours chatting with the viewers.
This helps to immerse the audience in the upcoming main content and attract even more people. It’s a little trick and a routine honed over more than ten years of broadcasting.
“How have you been lately?”
The Taker threw a question to Kayak, who was sitting next to them.
This casual catch-up before the main content is another part of the Taker’s routine, something they always do when inviting a guest.
“Lately? It’s always the same, you know. I guess the only thing that’s changed is that I moved. By the way, I’m using all the gifts you gave me, Taker! The towels, the humidifier, the vacuum cleaner, etc… Everything is so practical, I love it!”
“Oh my, yes. Thank you! I’m glad you’re using them well!”
[So heartwarming, LOL!]
[They did give a lot of gifts, huh?]
[I want to give Kayak a gift too!]
[The towel Kayak used, the humidifier Kayak used, hehehe….]
[Those two are cute together.]
[Taker’s goofy expression is really infuriating, LOL!]
[Indeed, good deeds are the Taker’s specialty, LOL!]
“Of course, the tale is about the Taker, haha!”
Kayak’s surprise compliment.
“I didn’t mean to, but it wasn’t bad. It lightened the mood, and it could silence the lingering forced narrative that Taker and Kayak weren’t getting along.”
“I’ve brewed some coffee, would you like a cup first?”
“Oh my, what’s with all this?”
Kayak had come in carrying a load of something. It made sense now; she had brought coffee.
Out came a water bottle filled with the black liquid coffee, along with the coffee mug that Taker had given.
To think she’d bring homemade coffee too. Taker said, genuinely touched, “Wow, you made this yourself? It’s amazing!”
But Kayak’s response was something Taker never saw coming.
“You say this is amazing every time you see it. You said it was amazing just the other day too.”
“What?”
“I send you proof pics every day. That I’m using the coffee mug well.”
Taker was a talker. He’s the type who can chat endlessly but right now, nothing came out.
“Um…”
But Taker couldn’t say anything. He was momentarily flustered to the point where cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
[Are you two in contact alone? Haha!]
[Oh ho…Taker…]
[Taker, please give me your address. I want to send you a gift ^^]
[Haha! You could update me saying you are using the housewarming gift well!]
[But why do you do it every single day?]
[Isn’t it obvious? A guy and a girl in their twenties texting every day? Come on!]
[So, Kayak has fallen into Taker’s trap, huh…]
[You can’t be a unicorn making 3 billion a month!]
[What the heck, my Kayak!]
[If they were really dating, they wouldn’t be so open about it; Kayak is smart.]
[Haha, no way an Alpha Female like Kayak would date Taker! Taker is just a smokescreen; he has a boyfriend!]
[Taker is also a crazy alpha male making over 30 million a year!]
Even without reading the chat, Taker felt as if he could see it. He squeezed his eyes shut like someone undergoing torturous interrogation.
She tightly shut her eyes.
“Wait, are you saying that the two of you exchanged messages right in front of all these people?”
The Taker seriously pondered if the Kayak was trying to drown him.
“…?”
But soon, upon seeing the vacant expression in their rolling eyes, he decided against it.
This person has no malicious intent. They seemed oddly unaware of their own actions.
They probably realize they have a significant standing in the broadcasting world. So, they seem to know how impactful their words can be and how they affect others.
However, outside of that, their barriers regarding relationships with men and women are oddly low. Is it because of their generally easygoing nature that they interact with the opposite gender so freely? It doesn’t seem like that, though.
‘They know they’re a woman…’
It feels like they assume they won’t have to date a man as a basic premise? Or maybe they don’t even see the Taker as a potential romantic partner.
I don’t get it. The Taker scratched their head in frustration.
Meanwhile, the Kayak, checking the chat, voiced her confusion.
“Dating? Me? With who…?”
*
Viewers who become overly invested in streamers due to quasi-romantic feelings, known as “meat soup” fans.
Recently, my room has seen an unusually high ratio of meat soup fans. Well, it’s not just recently. It’s more accurate to say that the meat soup viewers have been on a steady rise for a long time.
What’s the reason behind this? Why is it happening?
“Why are there so many meat soup viewers in my room?”
“Wait, is it okay to just openly call them meat soup?”
“What’s wrong with that? They actually seem to like it when I call them meat soup.”
“What even…?”
Her eyebrows twitched slightly in an exhausted expression. An expression of disbelief.
I feel the same way. I find it strange that the viewers like being called meat soup. But it’s true.
[Hehe….]
[Please give us more, more, more]
[That voice though, oh wow….]
[Could you frown a bit more? It looks like I’m staring at trash.]
[Looks more puzzled than contemptuous.]
[Ugh, hahahaha, those weird perverts.]
[I’m sorry, Han-nam….]
[Looks like I understand why women’s hate happens, upvote ㅋㅋ]
[Of course, the broth is for stirring ㅋㅋ]
[So they’re not dating, right? Is that it? Please just say it’s like that]
“So they’re not dating… What if they did? It’s just that we’re not dating, but can’t I date Taker?”
Does it really matter who I date?
One chat came up that somehow irritated me, so I intentionally responded to it, and Taker freaked out and tried to stop me.
“No, no, Kayak. Stop. Stop. Don’t do that. Why provoke? Then you can’t use it.”
“It felt bad being controlled like that.”
“Hmm, is that so? I can see that. It makes sense.”
We had a moment of calming down thanks to Taker. Just as my mind was regaining its peace, another question popped up.
“I’m not really trying to stir the broth here. I might look cute, but my main content is games, and my broadcast style isn’t leaning that way.”
“…You’re admitting you’re pretty?”
“Yes, that’s just a fact.”
Taker looked at me as if I was breaking the mood by answering so confidently. But what can I do?
Camilla’s appearance was nothing short of cosmic level, after all. I looked quite beautiful myself, being a spitting image of that face.
[Looks like Kayak knows she’s pretty too]
[If she pretends to be humble and says she’s not pretty, that’s worse]
[True, true, those who deny it are even more annoying]
[I’ve never seen anyone prettier than Kayak, seriously]
[What do you mean they’ve never stirred the broth like this?]
[For real, even during Christmas, they openly stirred the broth]
[If making handmade cakes to give to viewers isn’t what female streamers do, what is?]
[Honestly, she dances with reactions better than most female streamers]
[Originally, openly stirring the broth was fake, but vibing like friends, like Kayak, is the real deal]
[It’s not just being pretty; it’s the gap of suddenly stirring the broth when you weren’t thinking about it, that’s really crazy;]
This is something I can’t do anything about at the moment.
While looking at the incoming chats, I turned to Taker and said.
“Let’s just do our content.”
It felt like I had exhausted too much energy before the main content was ready,
“Yeah….”
Taker answered in a slightly tired voice.
