Apparently, if a recycling shop or similar establishment claims to have no value for an item during the appraisal process, then takes it for free and sells it back in the shop, they could be charged with fraud or a violation of the Secondhand Goods Business Act. I think a lot of places do this, but is that really okay?

Many viewers complain about Nico Nico's management, but from a content creator's perspective, YouTube is scarier... They've basically left all the decision-making to AI.

- Repetitive content or other mysterious reasons for monetization being suspended - Mysterious organizations (scams) claiming BGM copyrights.
- Sudden bans (mainly for synthesized voices)

These things aren't available on Nico Nico.

Nana's official account, please just post a video of her dancing to Churupaya in a collaboration with anyone, not a live performance video, but a video of her dancing as she is now. The official account has been opened, but her peak is over, so please post a video of her dancing with someone else, and post it as often as possible, ideally every day.

I'm glad that the issue of the view from the front seats at Theater H is becoming more widely known, with lots of photos showing that photography is now permitted. It's not a matter of 'why do audience members want to sit in the front seats?', but rather, 'why do they think it's okay to have a fixed-price, all-reserved seating lottery with this kind of view?' That's what the audience should be asking.
