As much as I like shitting on vtweeters (who doesn't?) They do occasionally have a point, and this is one of them in a way, because given just how much trash has flooded the Vtubing scene since it blew up out west a lot of people do expect a quality model (read: Coomerbait) before they even give a chubba a chance lately, and if you're a png tuber? Gl being considered a "vtuber" lol. We went through a whole arc of people using those "$22 models" where there were literal boycotts of vtubers using them. I agree it's not too expensive blah blah, but I honestly can't really take a now corp (whether big or small) backed person's opinion seriously, since it's a different climate than when even she started out. Back when she got her start you normally didn't have people shit on pngtubers or even "low quality" models, it was fresh enough. Nowadays it's like you have actual vtubers and aliexpress vtubers, and we all know what reputation aliexpress has lmao. I still agree vtweeters normally just sit around doing fuck all, but there's some merit that if you want to get out of 0-3 view land, the first thing people are attracted to is what they see and that can't be denied. It can't carry you fully but we've all been to a point in browsing indies the most interesting model caught our eye.
Since another "Case study" would be how people immediately shit on or outright refuse to watch men using female avatars, e.g "this is such a great model but it's wasted on male behind it" or "this is such a sexy model but it's wasted on a female behind the male avatar." It's a no win scenario now that the market is just over-saturated and as great of a content creator you are, you need to either have a great model to catch intitial interest, people don't consider you "clout chasing" if you network or get blessed by the algorithm gods and people choose to give you a chance rather than outright blocking some "who?" popping up on their feeds out the blue.
Honestly, even the piracy didn't kill him. Just him having literally nothing going for him other than: "Oh hey btw I'm gay *disconnects from discord call*" being his literal personality. Even Zen using his TTS shit he at least has something going for him. A big bonus was Artemis got in early too but he's less obnoxious with inserting himself than people like Shoto or FeFe.
Eggslut is fucking fantastic though lol.
