Overview
After a previous video discussing Chihiro's new boyfriend, Chihiro deleted all posts from her Instagram account and removed all videos from her YouTube channel, an unexpected move given her prior interest in maintaining an online presence and engaging with the Hiding in My Room community.
Speculation regarding Chihiro's deletions includes the possibility that she wanted to conceal her past marriage and conflicts with Daniel from her boyfriend, or feared older footage inadvertently showed her boyfriend's face.
Daniel linked Chihiro's content in an earlier video to observe her reaction, noted that Instagram wipes are permanent compared to privating YouTube content, expressed sorrow over losing a remaining sense of connection, and preferred that she discuss their past relationship and divorce rather than emulate her boyfriend's lifestyle and travel vlogs.
Because comments mentioning Daniel or Chihiro seemed to be deleted from her boyfriend's YouTube videos and Chihiro's content was gone, Daniel decided to remove the dead links to her Instagram and Pokémon video from his prior video.
In 2021, Casey helped share Chihiro's social media profiles after Daniel declined promotion because Chihiro and Casey had spoken negatively about him on livestreams, while Chihiro had posted content about a trip to Laos a few weeks prior.
