Whenever a regular poster in this circle of Fedi suddenly goes radio silent, I assume he was graduated from the government watch list to the government act list.
Currently getting flooded by three Israeli IPs that don't realize that they are only getting 402s in response. If anyone wants a list of keywords that the .il feds are interested in, give me a minute; I'm going to just let them keep going for a while.

The destruction that many vtubers corps are experiencing has long been predicted by me months in advance. Bratty industry needs correction 💢 the vtuber apocalypse is in effect. #vtuberapocalypse
So what now after this prediction? Another prediction:
It is time for THE END. The snap is coming for vtubers.
Twitch, with their streaming services running since 2007, will shut down or be sold to competitors. Timeframe? Within the year, or after next year. They're in danger. The rampant banning of high tier streamers, insufferable ads, increasing competition, and uneven rule enforcement will lead to a heavy collapse of twitch.
What does this mean for vtubers?
Pretty much all larger streamers may take a hit but they'll survive. But lower view vtubers will be destroyed in the carnage without alternatives. Regulars on Twitter better get their alts set up on the streaming sites they want to be at because it will be chaos in the event of a shutdown or a buyout. One of the names thrown around in a supposed buyout of twitch is Rumble, which has a political slant currently and will clash with twitchs politics. However Rumble has Peter Thiel money, and one of the people that could arrange a buyout.
