I feel IG and YT are perfect streaming platforms for groups that doesn't have Weverse.

Those streaming platform company needs to act faster before many groups end up using ig/youtube and the money goes out to those apps rather than goes in to the SK companies

Stray Kids has been using Youtube frequently and is working well for them

I'm sure that weverse will see it as a cost benefit analysis - sure they will lose x viewers but they also convert some of the viewers into paying customers...

and I'm pretty sure that vlive had a feature called vlive+ which was a paid subscription service so they probabably have some data to see how this change will affect it's customer base
