A bit of bad news for June... I will be taking a break to hardcore study for my licensing exam (June 29), and because I was recently hired, I will apparently be put through the grinder to train me to their standards.

Once this month is over, things should settle down I swear!!

[Kagi 🧣 Vtuber @KagiTweets]

Might have overdone it recently lol
Same old stuff. Studied myself to being sick/sleep deprived + being around sick people at work + physical labor at work + sleep deprived due to work

After Monday's important exam, I should be able to loosen up a bit (pray I pass)

Thank you SOOOOOO much Anonymous for getting me a surprise gift via Throne! https://t.co/AxKdF00D40 #Wishlist #Throne

So sad that the electronics class got discontinued the year I started high school... would have been so nice so I can custom craft my own stuff

[Kagi 🧣 Vtuber @KagiTweets]

Oh no... I went down the rabbit hole and got derailed with Digimon stuff again. Apparently, there is an online mmorpg-like world where you can connect a vpet/digivice you own IRL with the trained digimon and use it online in a PVE/PVP situation👀

The amount of copium I'm inhaling to think I can pass this licensing exam in 3 weeks when I've only reviewed 5% while working 11hrs.

[Kagi 🧣 Vtuber @KagiTweets]

I has a job!!
But... I also have to hard core study and adult the week prior to starting. When will things ever not be as busyyy

RE: StreamElements

To get everyone on the same page, here's a breakdown on what's happening, because rumors always travel further and faster in a vacuum.

Earlier today, there was an initial rumor that StreamElements was laying off all staff and shutting down. I heard this secondhand from a trusted source, but, like any rumor, it was not confirmed; it was merely a starting point. (I personally require at least two independent sources to confirm a story, as individuals can make mistakes or misinterpret the facts, especially if there's a reason that might make it personal.)

Since then, this single source has repeated this story to everyone in his StreamElements Sponsorship Discord (not the official one), and as such, it has been shared as a rumor widely across streamer Twitter. Yes, he does work for StreamElements as a Creator Success Manager. So, he does have credibility. At the same time, I have attempted to get secondary confirmation from anyone at StreamElements - but have been unable to. Every person I have spoken to about this (creators, former SE staff, media people) has the same source... the person mentioned above.

Now that said, let's talk contributing factors:
1. StreamElements continues to be silent on the matter.
2. They have been slow to pay users in recent weeks.
3. They seem to have been removed from Twitch's Third Party sponsorship offers.
4. They have been soliciting donations to keep the service free.
5. They have had numerous layoffs over the last few years, and more have left of their own volition in the last few months.

On the other hand, it's unusual to simply shut down a service with hundreds of thousands of users without first becoming a paid service. Or maybe just shutting down part of the service and focusing wholly on the sponsorship side. Either way, it's unusual.

This entire thing is unusual. And while the rumors may end up being true, I don't feel confident saying that yet. As I said, my standard is at least two independent confirmations - more is better. I always prefer being right to being first.

That said, given the situation as presented, it may still be worthwhile to ensure any SEPay money is requested, and you may want to download your alerts (or move to an alternative, such as Streamlabs. Disclosure: I have a partnership with them - but an easy link to do so is attached below.)

If I learn more before StreamElements addresses it publicly themselves, I will share whatever facts I can confirm.

Treating practicum like a souls game. Tough mentor and harsh feedback? Just get gud. Get good so that in the future, I can just parry them with style 😎

[Kagi 🧣 Vtuber @KagiTweets]

Sleep deprived, but let's go exploring the citadel and the choral.... chambers place!

So sorry for the sudden disappearance at the end of stream. I'm sitting in the middle of a black out lol. Stream most likely will end here tonight since I have no idea when it'll be coming back. The whole community is sktting in darkness lol

[Kagi 🧣 Vtuber @KagiTweets]

I somehow found the back door entrance instead of the main door, so I guess... that is the goal for tonight? Seeking the front door...

Lately, I've been having really bad rashes on my hands. I knew it was from practicum cause it's new to me, so I asked the staff and turns out... it's the gloves!! Multiple people have issues with that brand of nitrile apparently🤔

(cheap?)
