it was unavoidable that there would be a viewer blowup about communication, because she had steadily extinguished even the last leftover traces of communication, with no sign of a reversal in the trend. all the while, she presented circumstances that heightened the value of communication: streams were rarer than ever, and viewers faced a sequence of streams and breaks characterized by total and pure entropy. there might be streams on consecutive days, or a stream might suddenly, without warning, be followed by more than a week without one.
the increasing rarity of streams meant that a goal of catching a stream live made prospective viewers more and more dependent upon figuring out when one might happen, lest it sneak up without notice and disappear under the bridge, followed only by a long stretch without streams. if she had an idea of whether she would stream on some given day, she seemingly locked it away as though it were a table of top secret nuclear codes. not even a publicly-confirmed collab stream escaped her absolute information lockdown.
it was probably also unavoidable that the blowup would happen at a low point for her, when some unforeseen factor spawned multiple long unannounced disappearances in quick succession. even if you wanted to, you could not have deliberately calculated a more confounding set of circumstances than those that characterized november and december.
