[WIP] next.
🕑 Added 2025-04-24 15:46:28 +0000 UTCHey, this is Croove.
I’d like to briefly share a few updates about my current situation.
TL;DR at the end.
1. Growth of the business.
What started as a personal hobby has now grown to a point where I can no longer treat it as just hobby. Especially over the past quarter, I’ve experienced significant growth, which has come with increasing legal responsibilities and tax obligations. Recently, a lot of my time has been dedicated to learning about and managing these matters. These are necessary steps to ensure I can continue creating content in the long term. Without handling these properly, I risk facing the same fate as many other creators who suddenly disappeared due to legal complications.
2. Copyright issues with music used in HMV videos.
This ties directly into the legal responsibilities I mentioned. If I were to continue using copyrighted music in monetized HMV videos without proper rights, it would inevitably lead to legal trouble. HMV content is a big part of what I do, and I genuinely want to keep making it. I’m actively looking for sustainable ways to do so, including exploring the use of AI-generated music that I can further edit and improve, since the raw output from AI is often low in quality.
As shown in the results of a recent poll, many of you really enjoy my HMV content. Knowing that makes me want to deliver even more, but it also puts pressure on me as each month passes without a new HMV upload. At one point, I even considered asking HMV fans to pause their support temporarily because of the guilt I felt. Realistically, this situation won’t be resolved in just a month or two. With that in mind, I encourage you to consider adjusting your support if necessary.
3. Okay fine. What's next then?
I was hoping Astra could have some lines in the video, but if I run out of time, it might end up featuring only Evelyn, and Astra could be left out.
TL;DR
1. The channel has grown a lot recently, which means I have to deal with legal and tax responsibilities to keep everything sustainable.
2. I'm also working on a safe, copyright-compliant way to continue HMV videos, please understand that it might take some time.
3. Evelyn from ZZZ is the next main. I'm not sure about Astra.
That's it for now.
Thank you again for staying around.
See you next time.

You do amazing work and I have no problem waiting for you to check your options and figure out what you can do! Copyright is always a pain to deal with so I can imagine the frustration I know there’s also sites like Epidemic Sound (monthly subscription) that offer music you can use in content like YouTube videos, live streams, short form content, etc even if they’re monetized. they have a lot of electronic stuff that would work well for your content. you could check out that service - I’m just not sure if there’s a restriction on the music being used for R18 material though, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was
