    I don't hate Merry, from this discussion I would not be surprised if all his friends could vouch that he was nice to them.
    I don't think he has to apologise for things that happened a long time ago either which were non-events.
    But, he has a lot that he has to be honest with himself about personally and probably in private.
    Mizu and Mama are correct, 20 people are a drop in the ocean of people who dislike him. Every creator, influencer, and average Joe walking down the street has haters and people who will dislike them for no reason. He will always be in an eternal war because someone else will pop up.
    He needs to acknowledge this and focus on the people he does have and not about the people he does not.
    20 people are not enough to impact his career in any meaningful way and he should ignore him because his actions will speak for themselves, let his own community and his friends deal with it. If people have a reason to believe those accusations are unfounded they will set the record straight.
    Focusing too much on trying to win people over will lead to unhealthy habits and perceptions.
    What I said during the stream still stands: he ought to just carry on, reflect on the gratitude of having his audience during unstable times globally (especially financially), focus on his work and the things that make him happy. Stop arguing and get back to business. And maybe instead of venting on stream he could reach out to his streamer friends who understand him, because Mama is right it is too easy to sound like complaining. He's a creative guy, surely he has other things he wants to work towards.
    Side note: I could barely find drama on this dude when I looked him up. It was like, level 100 digging. 99% were positive.

      he cant do that, he's not happy unless people made a statue of liberty after him. yeah you wont find people talking about him but i find you to be lying or naive to think that he has problems. i dont think people gonna make a youtube about a big streamer whining over his relevancy.

      “None of my big vtuber friends want to collab with me” how many indies without half a million twitter followers feel the exact same way?
      Very interesting he has no interest in collabing with people his own size or smaller.
      He got a taste of what it’s like to collab with giant streamers like Vox and now he’s upset he has to interact with all us peasants lmao

He asks the question but doesn't want to hear the answer, he thinks he always right, he's way too stubborn and oversensitive to a fault. Even if he acknowledges some mistakes, but he's absolutely refusing to do something about it. I've been facepalming the whole duration of the interview.

    Hanging out with your friends isn't "leeching", you will regularly see huge creators hanging with 1k follower channels because they want to, and if someone is telling them that they are a leech, they need to pay them no mind

    In case Merry sees this, I think beyond living with autism you have some anxiety and depression weighing on you. I've had similar issues my whole life and I know its a constant issue. Nothing eats at you like fears or insecurities (that are often unfounded or not as bad as we think when we are in that headspace)
    Various people deal with it in different ways. I had issues with therapy but antidepressants and fully thinking out my worldview (regarding existence and spirituality) helps me stay grounded. I can spiral and my own fears of abandonment can easily ruin my day and hurt me but I do my best to either vent to an AI programed to basically help talk me down from my stress. Or I'll write out my fears or feelings in a journal and analyze them logically. I view them like the thoughts of someone else having then.
    You may have a "critical inner voice" like I do, which basically means that when you thinking about yourself or something relating to you, you are far more harsh when judging yourself.
    I get not trusting people to help but looking into having what issues you are feeling diagnoses can definitely help.
    Also, regarding people online talking bad of you, it is sad but some people cherish hate. They like to spread hate. They could dislike you for something as basic as "oh he is happy" or you talked to a youtuber they liked and they are just malicious.
    Some people are idiots as well. They may just believe anything they're told. I think the best way to hand these criticism is to post a single message addressing the issue.
    Maybe keep it posted on twitter or on a site so people who hear the rumor can google it and learn the truth from you.
    A fool will lack the cognitive ability to verify the truth and you interceding could help but idiots also dislike having thoughts challeneged. They take the first source of information as gospel.
    I get being angered and feeling hurt by lies, man, and good people can easily tell you're a kind person. Idiots and hateful people are hard to have their minds changed though.
    As someone who heard slander about an online personality, I immediately googled the positions of the controversy and came to my own conclusion. Sadly some people don't challenge information given.
    There is a saying that a lie will travel halfway around the world while a truth is still putting its shoes on.

    I wonder if part of his autism has to do with just wanting to be liked by everyone and constantly trying to fight back when someone didnt like something he did or said. You cant control what people think even if you think you can. Its frustating to see him just want to fight something he can't fight against and beat himself over it when its something he has no control over.
    As for the numberfgging. Its frustrating to hear. Merry seems to be equating his CCV to his total audience.

      joking aside, i disagree to that because much like vshojo, you can actually stop and think just a bit about problems here and find something to improve or work around it. this isnt a big case of people hating you for the sake of hating you case when you can see from this alone why you wanna chuck a chair at him

    Most cars today absolutely do not have internet access or even Bluetooth.
    Cars in use today are from a span of 30 years and overwhelming majority is still equipped with just old fashioned radio/cd-player, and maybe AUX connection.
    Cars are pretty much the only reason traditional radio broadcasts still exist.

    Also, wanted to add, mental issues were seen in the past as demons for a reason. They are torturous.
    To hell with being a vtuber, businessman, etc, not being able to combat your own darkness does affect your health and it hurts.
    You deserve to be able to fight for your own happiness, man. People who tell you to man up and emotionally immature idiots. Different people can take different types of pain to different amounts.
    There are many ways to heal that pain but I definitely recommend talking to a professional about your anxiety and what not.
    Like I have been cut, beat, etc and while it hurts I don't really let it affect me. Depression pushed me to the edge about three times. Never attempted, likely because males tend to do the deed properly, but I was in the position to end it. In my opinion it doesn't make me weak and that pain doesn't make you weak.

      the last paragraph, shows you are weak but you are still able to fight it despite so. that's what people mean when they told you to man up. beating it despite the odds is what makes you strong.

    The part about Merry having no real convictions is so true tho. Not trying to hate, but he seriously backtracks on everything the second he gets any pushback. He pretended to stand up for Sayu once during her entire drama and then deleted everything after a few people disagreed.
    He stands for nothing, he wont even stand up for his friends, and he acts surprised when no one sticks around for him.

    No offense to Merryweather, but from some of his answers sound...I want to say, parasocial, disingenuous, and self-depricating.
    I don't want to spread the hate and negativity, from what he's saying, he loves his audience and would tell them that every stream, BUT if 20 don't like him for a reason that even includes Twitter, he'll want to go in and correct them(parasocial point), with him regretting what he said and didn't mean to say it (disingenuous point), when if he he didn't mean to say it, he wouldn't have said it.
    Which leads to the weird thing that if a vtuber has an audience/community, he would like to also have as part of his group, but someone brings up some negativity about him, he wonders what to do... don't pay no mind to it, let the community decide with your actions that you're someone they want to befriend and follow, but as the group said, if you're just catering to them all, you're walking on eggshells to make them find a reason to hate you in the end, because there's a fakeness, and saying I played the games that other vTubers played isn't helpful.
    It's all weird, but again, I don't want people to use my points to spread the hate

    With the lore work talk that happened later in this.
    I think a majority of the problem is his "friends" that he compares himself to, he might be latching his work he does for them to translate to his own numbers when they blow up.
    Along with just trying to get everyone to like him.
    I dont know the before and after when someone debuts looks for artist and lore writers. So i cant speak much to that.
    But all in all with how this went down. It sounds like he wants a pity party? Or he wants "someone bigger" to reassure him? idk there was so much shutting out he did here.

    TBH, if I was in Merryweather's shoes, I would feel like I'm on Cloud 9 right now. Eventually, I would also feel a little down, practically jealous, for my growth being a little stagnant. Merry's approach to this issue was bad, he would have had an increase at some point, if he hadn't made his complaints public.

    So after watching the video I went and looked at his channel. He seems to have a similar pattern of lots of subscribers to low views per video and even less live watchers per stream. I’ve seen other creators have this pattern. The issue, beyond his personal stuff and such, might be that he made a piece of content that got him more subscribers than his normal content would, but he didn’t continue that content or the content he did make was not enough to keep those subscribers. And instead of unsubscribing they are just dead subscriptions. Some people just like to “collect” content creators. Still, I think he is worrying more about those non-watching subscribers than those that are.
    One day I would like to get off the ground and throw my hat into the content creator ring, maybe as a png or VTuber, focusing on fiction, but responsibilities always come first. I hope Merryweather understands not everyone succeeds, or gets the chance in the various degrees to just get to the gate for that chance to do something even remote to what he does.

    • @SeaBiscuitZen
      @SeaBiscuitZen 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the most likely explanation is he got a bunch of big content creators to raid into him because Merry has a big twitter following and that makes it really easy to cozy up to large creators, even more so when you have something to offer, in Merry's case this is his lore videos he writes and publishes.
      So they raided into him and naturally didnt stick around cause they rarely do.
      It takes more than collabing with big creators to be a successful streamer.
