P.S.: This post is written in English because the Japanese translator often makes many mistakes, and I want to make sure what I mean is understood as clearly as possible. Regarding YouTube memberships and the alleged harassment and fraud. I'm going to respond because many people are saying, both here and in my YouTube videos, that my intention is to scam their favorite YouTubers with memberships. Guys, do your research before commenting! Memberships are non-refundable. Memberships can only be refunded by YouTube itself when it can't find anyone to give those gift memberships to, and it's automatic without any intervention. Once the stream ends, YouTube searches for another 12 hours to give the gift memberships to, and if it still can't find anyone, it grants the refund. The requirements to receive a gift membership are to be subscribed to the streamer's channel and have the option to receive gift memberships enabled. I have no way of knowing when I should stop accepting donations because this information is hidden! Streamers don't suffer any kind of discount on their income; that's simply a lie. Because the memberships that were given out in November aren't collected until December, and it's essentially as if that money never existed, so to speak. I deeply regret that, due to a lack of information about how the memberships work for some people and content creators (I want to believe it's not with malicious intent), a smear campaign has started against me, accusing me of every possible wrongdoing. I'm open to hearing any questions you may have.

You'd better not cross Mr. Sebamise. The reason is because he's scary.

Just out of curiosity: were those VTubers your oshi (favorite creators you genuinely support)?

In fact, a friend of the streamer I watch has lost thousands to tens of thousands of yen due to your cancellation. This logic is a system in which 30% of membership gifts are taken by Google. 70% of the time comes to you, but your cancellation will require the streamer to pay 30%, which will lead to losses. What do you think about this?

Slander and defamation are never acceptable toward anyone, and I'm sorry you're experiencing it. By the way, multiple Japanese streamers have confirmed that your account is sending large quantities of membership gifts and then canceling them. Even if it doesn't cause any disadvantage to the streamers, what is the reason for engaging in such disruptive behavior?

Por que empezaste a regalar membresias de la nada en cantidades gigantes y al parecer al azar?

Step 1: The Exciting Gift Moment – What It Looked Like ●Mokami gets 250 memberships gifted during her live stream (fans "claim" them randomly in chat—yay!). ●Price per membership: $4.99. ●Total value of all gifts: 250 × $4.99 = $1,247.50 (how to calculate: 250 × 5 = 1,250, then subtract 250 × 0.01 = 2.50, so 1,250 - 2.50 = 1,247.50). ●YouTube's cut (30%): 30% of $1,247.50 = 0.30 × 1,247.50. ●Mokami's share (70%): 70% of $1,247.50 = 0.70 × 1,247.50. ●Total - YouTube's cut = 1,247.50 - 374.25 = $873.25. (Her dashboard lights up with this—party time!) At this point, Mokami's thinking: "Sweet! That's like a month's rent or new stream gear." Her stream chat's buzzing with excitement. Step 2: The Refund Sneak Attack – The Clawback ●The pranker (sebamise) flips the script and refunds the whole $1,247.50 through their credit card or bank (like saying, "Nah, I changed my mind"). ●YouTube refunds the pranker 100%—that's the full $1,247.50 back to their wallet. (This includes the $374.25 YouTube already took—they eat that loss, no keeping it.) ●But to pay for part of the refund, YouTube claws back Mokami's $873.25 from her earnings account (AdSense). How? It's like: Her balance goes +$873.25 → -$873.25 = $0. (Poof—back to square one, but the emotional whiplash hurts.) No warning during the stream—Mokami finds out later, like getting a bad grade surprise. Step 3: The Real Sting – Processing Fees Pile On ●Refunds aren't free for YouTube (or you). Banks charge "dispute fees" that add up, and YouTube passes most to the creator since the gifts were "claimed." ●These aren't one magic number—they're a mix: ●●Percentage fee: Usually 2–5% of the total ($1,247.50). Let's use 3% as a middle-ground example (common for credit card fights): 0.03 × 1,247.50 = $37.43. ●●Flat fees: $10–$25 per chargeback. For 250 gifts, it might batch into 3–5 disputes (YouTube groups 'em). Say 4 disputes × $20 each = $80. ●●Total fees Mokami owes: $37.43 (percentage) + $80 (flats) = $117.43. (In her real case, reports say it felt like ~$374 in fees—close to 30% of $1,247.50 = 0.30 × 1,247.50 = $374.25. That could happen if fees hit the high end, like 5% + more flats for international stuff.) Add it to her balance: $0 - $117.43 = -$117.43. (She owes this—YouTube takes it from her next payout, or she might have to pay up front.) Step 4: The Grand Total – Mokami's Net Loss ●Gifts in: +$873.25 (her share). ●Clawback: -$873.25. ●Fees: -$117.43 (or up to -$374.25 in her reported high-end hit). ●Low-fee net loss: -$117.43 (like losing a week's allowance). ●High-fee net loss (Mokami's vibe): -$374.25 (that's half a new laptop—brutal for an indie creator). It's like baking cookies for a bake sale, selling them for $873, then the buyer says "refund" and you still pay $117 for the ingredients. Mokami shared in her X post how this prank overshadowed her whole stream—fans were hyped, but it left her stressed and out cash. Congratulation! Your "support" gives her a net loss range from -$117.43 (18,016 Yen) to -$374.25 (57,417 Yen) Please stop supporting. It's too much. No one can afford your "support"

I apologize if my English translation on the site is incorrect. Even if you “meant it as a joke” or “it was just a prank,” it's still quite malicious. First, please reflect on your actions.

I understand that you may not have intended to cause trouble, but your actions are seriously affecting others. Even if your intentions are good, doing things that can easily be misunderstood will only create unnecessary conflict and distrust. Please take a step back and think carefully before acting next time. It’s important to make sure your behavior doesn’t cause discomfort or harm to others, even unintentionally.

That's good and all, but maybe don't drop 250 gift subs on a channel with 100 active viewers in the future...

Genuinely want to know why are you yeeting those amount of gifts to those little vtubers which cost like, millions? Also what do you mean by "I have no way of knowing when I should stop accepting donations because this information is hidden!" Like, you are accepting donation???

Lots of people don't know about the billing month things. I think that's why the rumors can be formed.
Since VTubers' fans are nothing but blind followers, you'll likely be exposed as the villain. Good luck.
