『Title: Notice Regarding the G-Tube Manager Selection Broadcast』
『Hello,
Recently, there have been frequent broadcasts. I think the time has come to consider some volume control.
One of the charms of live broadcasting is being able to log in at the scheduled time. If the broadcast is always live whenever you log in, that’s a bit… isn’t it?
What do you think?
I always listen to your opinions.
I have carefully reviewed all the feedback regarding G-Tube. After much deliberation, I have decided to select a manager.
I’m not very good with words, so I’ll explain it in more detail during the upcoming broadcast.
The broadcast will be at 5 PM today.』
– Oh, finally, G-Tube!
– ㄴ But GetDevoured FanTube has the best editing. Can’t they take over?
– ㄴㄴ They praise too cringingly there, kinda not into that
– ㄴ CravingWarmAmericano’s content is the cleanest
– ㄴ I’m just scared that BestSneakSneak will get chosen and only post rogue videos
– ㄴㄴ Is that another fan channel?
– ㄴㄴ No, it’s just a fan;
– Cut the talk about volume control and start the broadcast, teacher
– ㄴ What, really? It’s already on?
– ㄴㄴ Legit, it’s on right now;
– Listening to opinions?LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL
– ㄴ No, but they are actually making G-Tube……
– ㄴㄴ Greetings to those who enjoy the punishment of wives
– Well… at least they’re making G-Tube…
– Please, one video per day
– The current frequency of live broadcasts is just right!!!!!
– To be honest, daily broadcasts are a bit too much; KoK’s workouts are almost like exercise
– ㄴ The teacher does it with keyboard and mouse though
– But if the notice is also at 5 PM and the broadcast is at 5 PM, what’s the point of the notice…?
– ㄴ Just accept it and delete the comment quickly, you id1ot
– ㄴㄴ Why get mad;
– ㄴㄴ “Ah, right. Then I’ll re-notify and come back at 5 PM tomorrow.”
– ㄴㄴ Ugh… my head…
“Ah. Can you hear me well?”
As always, Lee Yena’s broadcast began with a sudden announcement. Similarly, as always, the announcement was crowded with countless comments.
Was it because people had become somewhat immune to her eccentricities? Or was it because the content of the announcement was somewhat satisfactory?
『Is it true that you’re streaming for 7 days straight?』
『September’s GetDevoured is different!』
『We believed in you, teacher!!!』
『Finally, hiring an editor for G-Tube』
『So you’ve already hired an editor, right?』
『Why are you only hiring an editor now when there are this many illegal street vendors』
『Money duplicates if you dig into the G-Tube channel』
Despite the slightly odd announcement, the viewers gathered in the broadcast seemed quite excited, each expressing their own expectations.
“Yes… G-Tube, indeed. Actually, I was thinking of maintaining the current state of G-Tube, but… after talking with Revan this time, I changed my mind.”
『King Revan』
『Thank you… Thank you, Revan teacher…』
『??Why Revan?』
『Maybe they got closer while preparing for the competition』
『There’s a need to socialize as she navigates society』
As the atmosphere gradually became more lively, Lee Yena moved her mouse and switched the screen.
-Click
It was a PPT.
In a massive font that looked to be about 72 points, the words 『Rogue Revival Movement G-Tube Guidelines』 were written.
On a white background, the PPT expressed its seriousness with black Gothic font. In the bottom right corner, a small icon of a dagger, blown up and pixelated, was stamped like a watermark.
『Is this PPT for real?』
『Even a man in his 50s wouldn’t make this PPT』
『What is this?』
『Isn’t it about creating G-Tube?』
『Guidelines?』
『Excuse me, teacher, but how old are you?』
Of course, the flood of criticism did not reach Lee Yena, who was already satisfied with her work. Even though the chat window was open quite wide for the first time in a while, the messages didn’t faze her.
“Um… Isn’t the PPT fine? It’s straightforward. Anyway… first, I want to thank everyone who has voluntarily promoted the Rogue Revival Movement so far. I hope you continue to do so. This is a measure for mutual benefit, so please follow it well.”
-Gulp
After moistening her throat, Lee Yena calmly continued speaking. With a PPT slide that said 『Acts of treason are punishable by death』.
For some reason, it had an enormous ax drawn on it. The trees drawn along with it looked somewhat out of place, as if they were part of and yet not part of the background.
“First, uploading videos in which rogues are not active, videos that cause unnecessary misunderstandings about rogues, or videos promoting warriors – these will be considered acts of treason. Please upload those on other channels.”
-Click.
With the sound of a mouse click, the following page appeared, displaying the word “Money” in a font size of over 100 points.
“And now, the most important announcement. For those who edit and upload my broadcast videos, please apply for monetization… and donate 50 percent of the generated revenue to the Rogue Revival Movement. Oh, the largest channels will get a reduced rate of 40 percent… but if your ranking drops, it will go up immediately.”
『???』
『No way』
『Aren’t you creating a channel?』
『Who gives 60 percent to a fan channel』
『Are you golden spoon?』
『????』
『Isn’t this for G-Tube…?』
『No way』
-User xx has donated 10,000 won!-
【What do you think G-Tube stands for, teacher…】
“… There are a lot of questions. The details will be explained more thoroughly by the manager we will soon hire. I have uploaded an announcement about it.”
As she spoke, Lee Yena pulled up the newly uploaded announcement on her screen. It was a pre-written document.

『Title: Recruitment Notice for G-Tube Manager』
『Hello,
We are going to recruit a G-Tube manager.
The job is simple. Please review the G-Tube channels that edit my videos and ensure they make the appropriate donations.
Additionally, explain any queries viewers or channel owners might have about this.
You’ll have to monitor for inappropriate content and sometimes persuade the creators to modify their videos… I’ll give you full authority and the necessary means for that persuasion.
I believe compensation is the most critical aspect… You’ll receive 30 percent of the donations collected.
As for other perks, well… we won’t be providing an office, so perhaps working from home could be seen as a benefit. We could also dine out if desired.
There are no specific qualifications, but there might be ideological vetting involved.
Please apply in large numbers.』
Watching the noisy and active chat, Lee Yena read out the announcement in a calm voice, but there was a hint of inexplicable firmness mixed into her tone.
-User xx has donated 10,000 won!-
【In other words, does this mean you want automatic hunting without pushing a single button?】
The drawn-out voice of a donation that responded seemed to reflect the viewers’ sentiment perfectly.
It was a relief that even this response would be managed by the soon-to-be-hired manager.
* * * *
The broadcast to recruit a manager proceeded smoothly. It must have been due to thorough preparation.
It would be great if a good person applied. They would need to understand Korean, rank around Diamond 1 or 2… and ideally, a Rogue main.
While pondering various thoughts, viewers actively expressed their numerous questions. It was somewhat disappointing that Roundhouse-Kick-Man was absent, but there were plenty of interesting questions to keep the broadcast engaging.
“It would be good if the person could also answer such questions well.”
… Should I pick two people? Managing ‘WeTogether’ as a side job… maybe not, huh.
Anyway, the amount of manpower needed was something to think about further. As the policy was somewhat unconventional, it might take some time to settle initially.
As noted by the numerous posts on WeTogether, there were advantages to consolidating the FanTube channels. It would be more convenient for viewers to find content… like the saying, the rich get richer, a larger-scale channel would be a more appealing brand.
Nevertheless, I didn’t have any plans to change the policy at the moment. Calling it an abusive landlord… that’s harsh. That wasn’t my intention.
I simply preferred relationships where neither party felt a special sense of responsibility towards each other.
People who ran FanTube could now edit videos with the purpose of earning money rather than out of passion… and from the manager’s perspective, it made sense to explore and find potential targets for revenue through the FanTube.
For a FanTube belonging to a broadcaster who might disappear at any moment, this seemed just right.
With these thoughts, as I momentarily watched the waves in the chat window, I felt a sense of peace.
Even a sea of fire is still a sea; it has a similar calming effect to looking at the sea.
