Hey Minh

I think Vietnamese content would be a great thing to achieve community engagement. What is the picture of in your original post? Apologies if this is insulting…it looks AI generated.

What does Mũi Né mean?

The format you submitted does have Q 1 to 4, but is missing what I requested in Q5 to 8. Please take a look at those questions and adjust your answers.

@Degen

Following up. Your original photo looks AI generated and your Twitch account has no streamed content that I can see.

Streaming is not a good fit for this domain. Can you refocus your application please to content creation within Việt Nam? That might be more workable. Please respond here when you have done so.

[Lanzer]

Streaming content is not a good fit for Community Engagement at this time.
