Clearing up translation issue and Q&A

Snow was under impression that that my channel was set up purely for my own financial gains.

Since he is the one who invested all his time and work to equipment, meal, time, investing into editor and cameraman, in his point of view, it would be very one-sided affair if I were.

You really should support snow fully rather than disliking him. Foreign StarCraft doesn’t really have many benefit for streamers to even glance at, when it would only net 1-2k extra views and subs, not to mention it's an extreme minority of Brood War scene.

Snow has showed great interest in cooperation and supporting the subtitles, which is unprecedented and really has never been seen from other Korean pros.

After resolving initial misunderstanding with him, he showed desire to support my subtitling, offering me to host through official means instead without any restrictions. He didn’t mind the possibility of me setting up Patreon system that goes towards me purely for subtitling his channel as hobby.

The initial decision to stop uploading was purely from me, never from Snow. My initial decision to stop uploading stemmed from my personal promise to stop if my channel ever got noticed by a pro + takedown notice when I first began my YouTube channel.

It is his product he invested so much to produce, and his property. I believe that issue here is not relevant to fact that this would not have gotten to you guys without my input. I was stealing his product that he worked to produce without any input from the owner. Language barrier should not play a role here.

As I have, in his view, stolen his property to upload onto my own channel without his permission, it must not have been very pleasant for him to see my uploads on YouTube.

To be blunt, foreign interest in Brood War isn't worth Korean pro's attention. For Korean pro's point of view, there isn’t really that much value to expanding their operation towards here, as the benefit doing so is very low. I saw some example from other translator's attempt to contact pros not being fruitful so I started subtitling due to 2 reasons;

1) lack of perceived interest from other pros

2) lack of response through community contribution subtitling.

I have uploaded my subtitles to official videos of pros if they do have option, but it never really got approved, perhaps due to language barrier.

I am doing this as just a hobby, rather than a dedicated work. I do not want to be tied down into a routine or commitment. I only translated things that I really want to share with community since I found it interesting and felt that it was a shame that foreign community didn’t get to know these. Uploading to my own channel was an easier and faster route to sharing these rather than go through official means.

Other than 1-2 videos I have been planning in mind from editing stream clips, I will not be uploading other than some basic (voice-over) tutorial requests from Patreon really. I will be mainly doing snow subs here and there.

I haven’t been getting paid before for subbing. Why should it now?

It also does not make any financial sense for Snow to even compensate me. Foreign viewers are vast minority in StarCraft YouTube scene.

Despite those barriers, Snow expressed interest in compensation aspects, but I really do not want to be tied down in sense of obligation

Well, now you get to support the official creators of the work and help them out!

I will also be posting list of my subs on here and my discord (https://discord.gg/XJq5yM7) so you can track what I do submit in a list
