vetting

damn that sucks

this must be a pretty tight community then to go through all this

If Pika were awake, he'd mention there was a Skype group even before that, where him and all the old old Phijkchu used to hang out

it really was like a cult back then

oh wow haha yeah i guess that makes sense, discord was like 2016 right and pkmnrob and stuff predates that

he'd recruit people in Rob's Twitch livechat

and suck them in

haha thats great

Although right now we are in the Gent Dynasty

do we actually have evidence of this?

no, and it doesn't really matter now

just clicked on a couple of his recent vods and damn.. https://i.gyazo.com/3cd0041f528ad7a2b2893f3f26314d6a.png

he charging for that now? bruh

He needs money badly rn, and his approach has pretty transparent

The URealms cartoon "reboot", DvZ, Pokemon streams, etc.

like, i know his vids didnt get the most views, but surely due to the sheer amount of them he might as well as keep them up to rake in a little money or is would it be literally pennies

yeahhh

that makes sense

he made a lot off of his back catalogue

tbh, I think he wants to get out altogether, idk what he wants to do (he prob doesn't even know)

im sorta glad im not the only one that got really put off by his streams after a while, i cba with the gta rp crap and all the sneaky mouse, the constant camera switching (that hes still doing it seems) really annoyed me lol

YES

did he ever take a long break?

the multi-camera thing he does is horrendous

yeah, he took a lot of 2020 off, during Corona

ahh

(when he'd have made a killing if he was active)

oh for sure yeah, but thats sorta understandable, covid was a pretty rough time for people with mental health issues

He gives me the vibe rn that he wants to extract all the money left he can, revisiting each piece of nostalgia, and then move on

and it's been working

probably for the best although i cant imagine he can burn anymore bridges

bit off topic but i feel like those weird depression hotdog animation streams were the beginning of the end

that must have been just after he stopped urealms?

before, he was doing those in 2017-2018 iirc

oh uh

oh really

this might shed some light on things

damn that was a long time ago

let me link the Soundcloud

but that was Rob's mental state

damn yeah

thats...sad

fuck this is unlocking so many memories i havent thought of for years, i remember when he was like trying to pass over the torch to one of his female streamer friends

that was so fucking bizarre

what happened to Hive Queen was even more bizzare

oh?

is there a story there

she abandoned her wholesome persona, and went full slutty vtuber

oh wow lol

huge viewbotting scheme too

did she get banned or something

the twitch is dead

no, different name

oh ok

I'll find it, one sec

https://fxtwitter.com/EllyVtuber

ah she jumped on the vtuber badnwagon

I'd love to meet an old Hivequeen fan tbh

I'm so curious what they thought when she essentially quit, to do this

i watched the odd raid stream but thats about it, i was losing interest at this time

im guessing she didnt have many loyal fans maybe

She had a community

small, but was pulling streams of 100-150 I think

some overlap with Rob, but she was doing her own thing

yea they were like irl friends a bit right?

that's complicated

well they met irl, hive and her bf and rob and megan iirc

idk if it was a regular thing

Rob ran away from home (without Megan) and showed up at Hivequeens place out of the blue

oh wtf

that was his first mental breakdown

Hivequeen had just gotten engaged at the time, and Rob didn't know this

oh boy

yeah

was he trying to get with her or something?

there's a lot of that

that'd be my speculation, but I'm probably forgetting some detail

i always felt it was a little weird he was like promoting her so much and yknow trying to move his entire fanbase to, what seemed like, a pretty random women that he didnt really know much

whilst being with megan, rubbed me the wrong way
