My argument against posting highlight clips is that they're only really helpful when you already have a sizeable audience who can't sit down and watch your streams from start to finish - which people like xqc and asmongold typically do considering they stream almost 24 hours. Otherwise, it's just another video that will get lost in the algorithm.Thank you for saying that. Vtubers are hundreds on miles behind on the livestreaming "meta". Barely anyone has editors. Barely anyone makes edited "highlights" of their streams. Do you know how much money big streamers like Asmongold, Destiny, Ludwig make off of their Youtube channels where they post "highlights". They make a fucking fortune. I blame Hololive and Nijisanji being Japanese and them being the "first" big vtuber companies and them being weighed down being Japanese and how slow the Japanese are to adapting. Now everyone wants to be the next Hololive and just copies them instead of following the normal western model of Twitch streaming/content creation that has worked for far longer than Hololive has been around.
Another thing that's the fault of Hololive and it being Japanese is how awful most EN vtuber's hours broadcasted are. The vast majority of HoloJP's viewerbase is in ONE timezone so they don't need to stream for 6-8 hours to hit multiple timezones. They just need to stream for 2 hours in JP primetime and they hit everyone while an EN vtuber that starts at primetime PST misses EU completely and large portion of the East Coast. There's a reason many big streamers start at midday East Coast and stream for 6+ hours. They hit primetime in EU, East Coast and West Coast.
Also consider that most VTubers only stream for 2-3 hours at best, so at most any highlight reel you will get would be about 5-10 minutes long each stream compared to almost a days worth of content most editors would sift through xqc's.
