Watched back in 2018ish when i first moved to Japan someone told me about it, more recently followed when myth debuted then lurked on the farms for a while. More recently joined because machine translation is literal cancer and it looked like people needed thing's TLed.
Yeah, they just dive too deep I guess. Other than Mika, I think someone also doxx Taka Radjiman, just scroll down to the comment here (still looking through the info there, to make sure is legit). But judging from the channel where I get info about Mika, some of Niji ID liver already been identified. But the info didn't get through international fans, maybe no one tip it off to doxx site before.
Been watching a lot of vtuber clip, then got hooked by holomyth, and come here to get information.
I knew about Kizuna Ai when she first appeared but at the time I thought Vtubing was a stupid Gimmick. My first Real Exposure with With Vtubing was the Hololive x Azur Lane Collab that really piqued my interest in Vtubers.
I've known of them since Kizuna Ai, but didn't keep up very well with her or even the niche in general for a long time after that. The bigger Hololive talents occasionally came across my Twitter timeline in the form of fan art, but in general I wasn't interested in keeping up with "idols" and the Holostars didn't have terribly many clippers at all.
Still find hilarious that Kizuna Ai collab came later, and for the people that still believe yostar hate hololive, their appearance in the game is considered canon and never removed but you cant buy their summer skins because collabs dont get reruns (they are offhand mentioned in the Idolmaster collab and in the Kizuna ai collab)
Started following chuubas after Pikamee punched that woman in GTAV for 17$ and HoloEN took off, started posting in the thread about a day or two after my join date, but I lurked the thread specifically for a month or so.
Tbh my history of vtubing is scattered. I remember watching a few Kizuna Ai 10 min english sub videos she did in 2016 for some horror game at the time. Thought it was interesting but just a novelty cause wasn't much english stuff at the time so dropped out of it quick for years.
Right, there was this collab with Azure Lane. I played the game back then and wondered "what the fuck is this setting? Some transported MC server, Holo resistance and some weird girls?" I was totally lost and not interested so I stopped playing the event. Looking back I regret it a little that I didn't try to get some of them even if I stopped playing Azure Lane. But the event was probably the trigger that the youtube algorithm showed me some translated vtuber clips (like the Aqua/Shion neighbour war) so I dived into Vtubing at the end of 2019 when Holo Gen 4 debuted. Plus some clips of Kizuna Ai waayyy back then.
I became aware of vtubers when Kizuna AI got really popular around 2017 or 2018. Dropped off after awhile due to the language barrier. Than around mid-2020, I kept seeing Miko, Coco, and Gura clips on tiktok. November is when I gave Gura a chance and subscribed to her channel. Been hooked every since.
Most people went for mobile app so this is probably just the barebones indication that their marketing worked.
Waiting for the Vox leak that shows his YouTube analytics.
Interesting that this poll unexpectedly has a lot of answers in just one hour. This thread is actually more popular than I thought. I joined the rabbithole and started following it ever since that clip of Amelia Watson being toxic and killing her teammates on Valorant got popular. She has been my oshi ever since.
Telling people you know what you're doing isn't really a good response ngl, but I'm glad to see he addressed the situation well overall. It's not exactly Vox's fault and nobody should force him to address it, but it all boils down to how the fans are going to take what he just said seriously, which I seriously fucking hope they do.
I hate when people make this claim about streamers, that they don't have control over their chat. They have as much control as they want if they actually bother to cultivate their chat and moderate it. If you don't call people out on their shit, it runs away. I have seen much bigger streamers than him have well-controlled chat because they actually address their chat and call them out when step over the line. You give chats an inch, they will take a mile. Always.
