In the thread, Sakurai says that he will not be stopping completely from posting photos. After the holiday break, Sakurai shares that he will be posting five times a week instead of his normal seven. This is due to confidentiality issues that have limited the stock of photos available to him. He states that he still has around 100 screenshots to share, so he plans to slow down his posting pace.
