"Hello everyone,
I hope you are doing very well. Thank you always to everyone all around the world for your support for nearly 10 years. I would like to share some important news that affects this SubscribeStar account and all of my projects. This post will be viewable to public (there is no need to support to view it).
Retirement
This is difficult for me to write. After recent events, I have decided that I will retire as a content creator, effective immediately. This is my own choice and I was not pressured or forced from any outside source to make this decision. This is a decision I made entirely personally. Many factors were taken into account in this decision. I list them below.
Patreon Shutdown
Recently, Patreon has decided (after many years) that they no longer like Miku Doll and shut down Patreon. This event set off a chain reaction that ultimately led to this decision.
Work schedule (outside of SubscribeStar/Patreon)
Due to my recent promotion, I am now a big boss at work. The field I work in requires a lot of attention away from content creation, including being ready to respond at all times, including weekends, as life-threatening emergencies are common and others depend on me to respond quickly. This is a small deciding factor, but it has been bothering me as I have been frustrated that I have not been able to create a ton of content for you all to enjoy as frequently as I did before this promotion.
Big events in life are coming up soon
On a personal note, I will soon be getting married, which will mean even less time available for content creation. My fiancé has always been aware and supportive of my content, and this year she has helped me behind the scenes with various ideas for H content, including H scene ideas, outfits, accessories, locations, activities, and monster ideas. We are both happy to continue creating these contents, but I would like to give her more attention, especially if we plan to start a family.
I want to name HibikiHusbando (HH) to become my successor
HH is the reason I became a creator almost a decade ago. He pushed me to start this journey starting in December 2014, and since then, he has supported me every month of every year, including now, and has always been there for me as my best friend. He has kept me safe and sane from the censorship of adult content in my country, allowed me to create in peace, and helped me write and communicate with others (especially in English) and collaborated on content that everyone can enjoy. HH has all the skills equal to or greater than me, and I taught him everything I know directly. He has proven time and time again that he would be the perfect candidate to replace me if he ever wanted to succeed me. I am truly grateful for his selflessness and kindness over the years. Now, I hope to encourage him to continue where I left off and continue these projects that we love, if he so desires.
I want to thank everyone for this honor to create contents for you and everyone to enjoy for so many years. Your unwavering kindness was my fuel in which I carried on creating through the night and the energy to carry on throughout the day without the night's rest, because your kindness, cheering messages, and eagerness to see what comes next was something I truly loved and will always cherish to my core. This was more than just a hobby for me, it was another opportunity to share with friends over all the world our shared love for Miku and all the other Vocaloids/Voiceroids/VSingers in all their adult splendor. From the bottom of my heart, your kindness and friendship means everything to me, and I will sorely miss all of you. I wish you all the greatest success and fortune in your lives, as each one of you are truly kind and wonderful people.
Farewell, and thank you for everything.
Your friend,
- Stratovarius
