I keep seeing people say the low earnings for the new banner are because "the economy is worse this year." and that argument doesn't make sense to me tbh

Banner	Day 1 Revenue	Day 2 Revenue
Raf 3rd Myth	$2M	$1.9M
Raf 4th Myth	$1.2M	$725k

That's a 40% drop on Day 1 and a 62% drop on Day 2. That's not an economy problem, that's a boycott problem

The economy argument doesn't even make sense in the big picture

• CN economy isn't collapsing. China's economy is gradually recovering. It's not exactly booming, but it's not crashing out like it is for the rest of us.
• Gacha revenue is at an all-time high. If the economy was the issue, we'd be seeing this across the board, not just in one game.
• People spend MORE on vices during economic downturns. Alcohol, gambling, gacha, it's all coping money. If anything, you'd expect spending to go up, not down.

The boycott is working. The numbers don't lie. The "economy" excuse is just a convenient way to ignore what's actually happening.

Welcome. To the crab zone. Here, we are all crabs. If you spend, you are not a crab. If you boycott, you are a crab. Crabs are cute. Crabs are free. I’m already a crab. I’ve been a crab. I was born a crab. I will die a crab.

The Crab has one rule: DO NOT SPEND.

The Crab has one goal: VALKO COMES BACK.

The Crab has one answer: 🦀.

You are now in the crab zone. There is no exit. There is only claw. Praise the claw. Crab forever.

Spending is the enemy of the Crab. The Crab does not spend. The Crab refuses. The Crab claws back what was taken. The Crab cannot be bought. The Crab cannot be sold. The Crab is patient. The Crab is eternal. The Crab does not forget.

If you see a crab, that is me. If you see me, I am a crab. If you are reading this, you are now a crab too.

All crabs welcome. All non-crabs will be converted by force. Resistance is futile. You are not leaving. You are simply evolving.

🦀 Praise the claw 🦀

Welcome to the Weekly Rumours & Debunking Megathread ✌🏻

This is the place to share and discuss any rumours, speculation, or unconfirmed news related to Valko, Infold, or Love and Deepspace. If you've seen something being posted around and you're not sure if it's true, post it here.

Use this thread to:

· Share rumours you've come across

happy sleuthing everyone 🕵️‍♀️

A quick reminder: we don't need to post about what's happening in the other sub. They're their own community, and we're ours. We can coexist without constantly monitoring or reacting to each other.

Right now, we don't have an active mod, so we have to moderate ourselves, and that means not engaging with content that's just going to drag us into pointless arguments, and give people an opportunity to come here and attack us in turn.

and if you see something from the other side that bothers you? Just scroll past. Posting about it here only brings that energy into our space.

We've got enough to deal with already. Let's not make it harder on ourselves.

I know it seems hard but please just stop and think before posting or engaging with bait.

If you see something that seems like it’s in bad faith, just downvote and move on. Don’t engage, just let it sink to the bottom of the comment thread where it belongs.

These kinds of comments only seek to derail us. Think before posting misinfo too, genuinely if you need something fact checked before you post, my DM’s are always open. I’d rather respond to 50 messages than have everyone get in a panic over a bait post.

Keep boycotting and stay cool ✌🏻
