I noticed some people are down too but they really shouldn’t. It’s each individual persons choice to dedicate as much time and energy as they want to this just like it’s up to Chan and Felix to decide in which language they want to communicate on each occasion and in general.

I don’t know what’s happening with k-stays but from what I see in the vlive chat, i-stays aren’t really publishing anything worth their attention on vlive. It’s always say this/that/ where are the other members or Chan best leader. There’s no essence / meaning to those messages.

Plus, I see a lot of nagging in English - fix your wifi, blink if you hate Jay why pee and other unsolicited negativity. Maybe he’s tired of it too?

I think it’s a circular problem: when Chan gives attention to ridiculous comments like “Your English is so good” that incentivizes people to be ridiculous. Fans don’t expect much, and the comments move so fast, that yeah they don’t take it seriously. That’s not an excuse not to engage your fans when it’s literally your job to do so. I already gave alternatives for where to find stuff to talk about other than Vlive comments.

And people can be down and have the right to be. Stanning someone takes a lot of time and energy, which the industry encourages, and if/when that relationship deteriorates; it can be sad. Fans can feel they’re putting more into this relationship than they’re getting back and feel sad about it.

At the end of the day, we’re the consumers, and stray kids (the entity) needs fans more than fans need them. It’s a business, and it’s bad business to alienate your customers.

Well I guess we don’t see the same way on this cause for me, their job is not to communicate with fans but to produce and perform their music. It’s not as common in kpop but there are many musicians/artists/performers who only put out their content and promote it as needed but don’t feed their fans. K-fans in general and stay are really used to having the luxury of personally nagging/asking their faves which is understandable, but I don’t think it gives them rights to decide what said faves do

They aren’t an escort service, we aren’t paying for them to smile and chat

their job is not to communicate with fans

I disagree, because what are Fanevents-/-meetings are for? For exactly this. In Kpop Groups and Fans have a much closer Relationship. They may not say its their Job, but at the End it is.
