How things work around the lives: what the chat is for, what gifts do and do not buy, why giveaways stay free, and the few rules that keep the place decent for everyone — including younger viewers.
A vertical live is not a video with an audience watching silently. The jokes come from the exchange: someone says something in chat, it becomes a running gag, the gag comes back three streams later. That loop is the actual format.
Which means the chat is worth protecting. It is moderated during the lives, and the goal is simple — someone who arrives without knowing anyone should be able to join in without getting insulted.
Gifts, giveaways and fairness
This is where most misunderstandings start, so it is written plainly.
A gift triggers a shoutout. A gift worth more than 30 jewels displays an automatic alert on screen for about ten seconds. That is the entire transaction.
A gift buys nothing else. No money back, no item, no in-game advantage, no special treatment, no promise of any kind.
Giveaways are free to enter. Sending a gift does not create extra entries or better odds. Someone who has never sent anything has exactly the same chances.
Nobody is asked to send anything. Gifts come from people who found a stream funny. Watching for free is a completely normal way to be part of this.
If you ever see an account claiming that paying gets you something, it is not me — the official links page lists the only accounts that are.
Younger viewers
Part of the audience is young, which changes what is acceptable. Two consequences worth stating: nothing on the stream ever asks a viewer to spend money to be treated better, and no one should share personal details in a public chat — not with me, not with anyone claiming to speak for me.
If a parent or a viewer wants to understand how the format works before deciding anything, the Old LiveStream page explains it in full, with the on-screen proof.
