General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Best girl catches up to the meta. Also, why are people getting hype for the Warships collab, even going as far as to say "yeah I'll check the game out now"? Isn't Warships notorious for locking their collab content behind retardedly expensive DLC packs? Pretty much all the "military vehicle" games have abysmal monetization, whether Wargaming games or Gaijin games. Warships was even the one that had a mass exodus of content creators after they shoved one of the most popular ships into essentially a lootbox.

That's it, that's her grand lasting contribution to the community? I know your a Nijifag but come on really that's it. I bet barely anyone out side of the farms or 4chan even remembers that was a thing, much less who told Gura about it. When you said she had made a lasting impression I assumed there was a lot of stuff I had missed because I figured you couldn't be talking about that. That's nothing.

She literally stopped the #1 V-Tuber from unknowingly using stolen, uncredited art on her streams whilst raking in thousands in memberships before it became a problem. Whether people remember is irrelevant to the fact she did something good. It's certainly not 'nothing'.

Don't get too bent out of shape, shrimps tend to snap easily.

I never said "yeah I'll check the game out now", I had already played a bunch and I might go back for that, and the Azur Lane and Arpeggio of Blue Steel collabs had a bunch of shit to get for free on their first runs. If they charge money for Ame, I won't touch it, if it's free, I might put in a couple hours to earn it.
 
With big vtubers like Gura, the chat is barely worth considering. Just a smear of alphabet soup and emotes on the side of the screen.

Now with Phase Connect streams, the chat is actually fun to read and join in. (At least with the ones I'm familiar with: Pippa, Tenma, and especially Uruka). People actually converse with each other as well as the streamer.

Maybe it's just a size thing, but I feel like the PC talents have a different approach, like they're trying to create a more "social" atmosphere for their viewers. They're more like "hosts" while hololive is more like "performers", if that makes sense.

Of course my experience is limited - it could just be the difference between streams with bigger and smaller audiences.

You guys should stop reacting to Scuttle's low tier bait, at this rate he is going to end up getting complacent and we won't be able to release him back into the wild.

Nah man, lets just humor him for a while. He's probably salty no one in the thread reacted to any news about Niji he brought here while everyone is busy watching HoloFes and hyping ID3 and Uproar

It's probably not by design and only a result of signal-to-noise ratio being ridiculous but the result mirrors the original idea behind idols (or at least pre-AKB48, with their painfully artificial and exploitatively commercialized bridge events) - as these unreachable entities high above that you worship without ever interacting - pretty well.

I'm kind of surprised it isn't the other way. I'd think all hololivers should have memberships to everyone else. Then there could be more interaction between them even during member streams. Maybe though that is supposed to be their "private" time with members so they don't want other talents dropping in.

I do agree, but at the same time, there are 61 (?) members, not including the Stars. That's 18000$, a month. 216k$, a year, if every member had a membership for every other member. Which is a fairly large and weird expense when I'm sure most members probably won't actually get any use out of most of it. Like I'm sure Okayu would watch Gura member streams, if she doesn't already, but I doubt she gives two fuck about someone like Reine.

Watame did mention something just now that made me think there might be a way to circumvent the rule though. She said her manager was gifted her membership randomly. So theoretically other Hololive members could also just win the lottery and get gifted it, or even get it off-stream and just use the excuse of getting it gifted.

It's probably something to do with accounting.

I'm not sure if Cover or YouTube take a cut of Membership subscriptions, but if we say they do for argument's sake, then $5 comes out of the company credit card, and of that $5 that they spent they only get like $1.70 back. If Matsuri wants to simp to 10 friends, that's $50/m or $600/y of Cover's money she's spending for them to make $200-ish back, and would be exacerbated if others did the same.

In a society where proper bookkeeping is rewarded with pretty nice tax deductibles (as far as I understand), I imagine that it would be difficult to explain why Cover has lost money spending on itself to watch its own content.

Selen did a good thing, and I'm happy it was caught so quick. Saying that it was 'a lasting impact' or that it coming out later would have been anything more a speed-bump is more than a bit of a stretch. . . or just bait. Like everything else @Scuttle says when he isn't in respectable Niji journalist mode.

Anyway, Mori is doing an unarchived Karaoke with MilkyQueen on Twitch. Currently fucking around with Crossing Field. Enjoy that and stop buying into the low-tier tribalism. Edit_3: Not directed at Scuttle either, everyone is getting a bit much lately.

Edit: Watame's hood is hilarious when you realize it's her being eaten.
Edit_2: And we've moved onto Panic! At the Disco.

Alright who do I have to suck off to see Pippa or a Holo member play Frog Fractions? Preferably a JP holomem because I won't believe for a second any of the EN ones outside Calli don't know about it. It's one of the few games I find reactions on to be actually funny.
