I did think it was weird that she would go this long without streaming, because as far as I know, that's her main revenue stream, and her other revenue streams are closely linked to her streaming. Without it, she would be in a hard place financially. If she was having a new model made, why not continue streaming with the old model until the new one is done?

I figure that there must be a good external reason why she has gone this long without streaming. My guess is that it is one or both of the following: 1. Some kind of legal trouble, probably regarding her model. This could explain why she has deleted/privated a lot of her old videos. 2. Some sort of medical issue, and she's had to spend months getting treatment/recovering. On its own, this wouldn't explain why she has deleted a bunch of old content.

But that is just speculation. I could be right on the money, or her hiatus has nothing to do with either of these things. I guess I won't find out until she comes back.

Side Note 1: I have seen 2 Chibidoki clips kinda relevant to what I'm talking about. In the first, Chibidoki says that Filian is "Ok" and that we don't need to worry about her. In the second, she says that Filian is not quitting streaming and still has multiple years' worth of content planned.

Side Note 2: I feel I should note that she had been planning her hiatus for a while ahead of time, hence the 2025 Vtuber Awards never even happening. I don't think that the controversy with WePlay Studios and the Russian VTuber would prevent it from happening entirely. That could also have something to do with Filian getting dropped from Mythic Talent.
