Room 201 is a small company managing extremely small Vtuber, with their most subscribed Vtuber being Ishinomaki Tsumuri, otherwise known as TsumuSnail201 having less than 2000 subscribers. The average views for their biggest Vtuber, Tsumuri is only averaging to about 20 viewer per live stream and a few hundred to a few thousand in VOD. It is a failing company. Recently, for some reason, all of Ishinomaki Tsumuri's videos were delisted and accusations against the company have been thrown.

(she's infamous for ripping off her fingernail on stream)
>What happened?
Ishinomaki Tsumuri signed a contract with Room 201 without reading the finer print. And during her work as a Room 201 Vtuber, she has a menhera attack leading to suicide attempt on stream. This was very bad, however, she recovers mentally somewhat after the attempt. It was at that point that Room201 pointed out the finer print in the contract
>What are those?
First, for using the name Room 201 (despite it being an unknown company and Tsumuri is its current biggest Vtuber), every talents that sign the contract has a small clause that said they agreed to pay the company for their "Streaming expertise" and "Streaming technology", it is not a share profit deal, they have to pay the company for working for the company. That is one small clause the talents did not know about.
When Tsumuri attempted suicide, the company has rights to terminate her contract. However, the terms of contract termination are
>Removal of all videos
>Tsumuri has to pay the company all the revenue she received from Youtube since she started making those videos (everything she has made from Youtube) because she violates a term that led to her contract being terminated early (her suicide attempt)
>Plus the expertise fees
Since February 12th, Tsumuri has been radio silence afterward. Some of her fans (like 12 of them) are worried this will just cause another suicidal episode because she has been silent since then. Some fans advise her to lawyer up because the contract seems really fraudulent. However, she definitely can't appear as TsumuSnail anymore because while the other terms on the contracts are in dispute, her ass will be nailed for copyright strike if she uses that image, making sure she can't rally her fans and let them know.
