Rogan/Mori: I think that video is an especially vulnerable medium, speaking as someone who makes comics and zines out of super-personal subjects. But at least nobody sees our vessel's FACE in those comics and zines; if we walked by an online fan on the street, they probably wouldn't know us from Adam. I feel like we have more control over our art and writing. But video... we only have done one non-personal video, and it was like, "wow, yeah, we are NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN."

I feel like video is especially prone to parasocial pitfalls, and just about any multi in public has a learning curve over what they are and aren't willing to share, especially as the online world changes in norms. What may have been totally acceptable five years ago is basis for harassment now, and the easiest way to dodge is to just... shut down the account.

Multi Youtube is a place we have spent zero time on, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it has a terrible burnout rate, especially combined with algorithmic pressure and all.
