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

The largest contributing reason in the U.S. is that the company that has the connection to your house "owns" that cable. So if you want to hook up with another ISP, a whole different cable needs to be set up. Because of this, many cities operate under pseudo-monopolies where (if you're lucky) you'll have one ISP that provides Cable, and another ISP that provides DSL. And that's it.

In other countries, they legislate the owning ISP needs to lease that cable to other ISPs for a reasonable fee. That doesn't exist in the U.S. So in many cases, those monopolies exist, they charge crazy rates for internet, and they spend as little money as possible in order to do maintenance.

If you want to see this in action, you can look at Google's efforts to provide fiber to some cities. They had to come in and run fresh cable everywhere because they can't use the existing wiring. So yea, ISPs in America suck.
Aside from that, the US is massive and largely low-density in a way that a lot of people who haven't been here and/or haven't been outside of the dense urban cores don't really appreciate. There is a LOT of distance that those wires have to cover, and that distance isn't cheap to begin with.
 
I wasn't able to archive it due to being late, but thank fucking god browser caches are a thing

That is very true. More people think the U.S. is akin to something like the megalopolis between DC and Boston. But the amount of sheer country you get in the midwest and mountain regions of the United States catch tons of foreigners off guard.
 
Mike should stop going on twitter just to delete her posts and do more cooking streams, she seemed more productive and happy doing that. Noone is going to tolerate this behavior for too long, not even Kson.
She is very clearly depressed and erratic. If she wasn't depressed before this shitstorm happened, she would be after she got stabbed in the back and fucked herself over while looking for someone to trust. She needs to focus on doing what she likes, hanging out more with her friends and leave Twitter to dry, much better this way!

The U.S. is fucking colossal and many people have never been there so they get that impression from the movies, that mostly focus on a few mega cities. Either that or the countryside lol!

Or just stay offline for a while. The people she's talking about in that screenshot are people she probably personally knows

deepl ver:
I've had a rough time of it, I've been through a lot. I'm at the point where I want people who are involved to be grateful that I'm not saying anything, That' why I'm not saying I agree with them. That person too!? And there's a lot more.

Even haning out with friends...
This is the person Kson described as the most mentally draining person to be around back in november.
 
It sounds like "I wasn't black enough to go to hell"

She obviously didn't mean it that way, but it does sound pretty bad out of context.
Nah, that's just you projecting and putting words in her mouth.

>But she said--

A line in a rap song. I'm pretty sure Jim Morrison didn't want to kill his dad and fuck his mom, yet he still put it in a song.
 
So uh did anyone else notice that meme Ame showed with the recruits had a racist punchline LMAO "thanks as always ameria"
Anyone have a picture of this meme?

Also, I can't wait for one of the future EN Holostars to make a joke tangentially referencing WWII and simultaneously get Chinese, Korean, and Japanese to turn on him.
 
So this is Canan's guest mikarin, who indeed would be Marine

So 30 this year, nice, that's some Christmas Cake right there
Voice packs make a shitload of money. They have zero production cost aside from a few hours of the talent's time (unless they rent a recording studio, which is not that common), so it's basically pure profit other than the store's cut. I don't remember exactly but I think Booth takes very little, like 5% or something like that. Additionally there is a feature where you can tip extra money to the seller, so that's basically like superchatting except Youtube doesn't take a 30% cut. They usually make more money from that than the voice pack sales themselves.
To this day I still don't understand the appeals of voice packs. It all just sound like some delusional "halu" shits to me. At least other merchs has some use as an actual item/tool, or as decorations
New HoloID3 Zeta having her first karaoke (and monetization just opened today too)

Almost ninja'd. Interesting she would choose an unarchived karaoke for first monetization stream

It's ultimately just a "support the streamer" donation kind of thing as far as I've always seen it; the voice packs themselves are bonus content for people willing to contribute. Kinda like how artists or YouTubers sometimes offer token goodies like sketches or a thank you message at the end of a video for Patreon donors.
 
It's really odd how people on Twitter think Snake Eyes or Dead Beats is somehow the most repulsive-sounding mess of sounds they heard in their life.

It's not great, but it's Grammy-worthy compared to so much other actual trash that goes viral.

Man I live in a 3rd world shithole and I got fiber. The fuck is wrong with the ISPs in the US?


How so? Pretty sure I have heard the retarded argument that if you are not black you are privileged and therefore you shouldn't rap because rap is about singing about the struggles of living in the hood in a racist/oppressive world. Pretty sure Eminem has mentioned multiple times how a large group of people would not pay attention to him because he was white.
It's basically a cultural warzone.

A lot of the types that you see on Twitter like to shill for black people until they don't share their opinions and which they are promptly discarded or called a random Tumblr buzzword.

Most of the stuff is incredibly performative and is really just one big vanity project
