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

Someone is trying to patent "vtuber" and vtubing . The person filing for it may be pretending to work for vshojo. It is most likely a troll.

Wow, the dude wasted $250 to provide selfdox on a worthless trademark application.

Also, the applications sounds like it was written by a schizo. Truly what I would expect from the man who tried to trademark "Shy but Horny"

 
Is she playing an old version of Baldi? It looks from different from Gura's
I think Gura's title screen said something about Remastered.
As a person who thinks of xirself as mostly normal but still watches vtuber clips, I wanted to ask one question: Why Sana gone? I shall leave as soon as I get the answer so please do not see the intrusion as a threat to the sanctity of this autistic sacred thread.
Aside from a pet death causing her to take an early hiatus (which also screwed over Aki Rosenthal back when she was in a car accident when she was starting out), which probably led to lower algorithmic push, a lot of subs culled by YT, and a back injury, she has another job as a boatmonger like Ina that a) was likely taking a lot of time that would conflict with her streaming obligations and b) was with a Chinese company that probably resulted in some political pressure due to Chinese activists hating Hololive.
 
Amazing news. KORONE HOLOTALK! LET’S GOOOO.

"feature other members" probably just mean other members of Myth, since she had previously said that she will try to finish it "solo".
In this context yeah it's talking about getting the Myth members to take part in closing the book on Mythbreakers.

She is talking about running one shots in the near future though waiting on permissions right now for a game system called GUN and already planning on running a one shot with Magni Vesper and Kronii. Likely she just wants to actually formally close the book on Mythbreakers before moving on to other TTRPG stuff.
 
Basically, a back injury early on kneecapped her initial growth, coupled with the algorithm possibly being racist (though that part was never confirmed). Ultimately, she ended up thinking she wasn't streamer material and called it quits, and given she hasn't streamed even outside the Sana identity (as far as I know at least), she meant it.
Sana is Namie and initially when she graduated she did stream for a hot second but not anymore.
I noticed that subscriber reduction thing too. I never understood why only she of all people had so many subs cut not once but two times. It was probably very demoralizing for her. It really does look like the algo being racist because everyone had a similar growth rate and only her channel's subs were cut.
As a Sana watcher I think people put way too much emphasis on numbers.

She said that she wanted to stream to have fun playing games she enjoys and also joined Hololive as a way to get out of her secluded artist lifestyle. She specifically didn't do many drawing streams because she wanted to branch out and do content different from her "regular" job. If she cared about numbers spamming Pokémon and not drawing didn't help.

She didn't specifically say why she left. I refuse to believe Cover's contract restrictions had anything to do with it as plenty of other talents create a wide variety of content for their other personas. As far as her mindset, she is missed because she radiated positivity/sunshine in her streams. Considering how much Ina and Gura stream I don't think she was required to stream certain amounts. Not sure what a streamer mindset means but I would assume there is a scale. From like 1 to Pippa maybe. Plus, even with her numbers she was making money from memberships alone.

All we know for sure is that she didn't re-up her contract and still draws for Chinese gacha games. Personally, as time goes on I feel more bitter about her leaving but it's a pill you swallow unless you are schizo anti or whatever. I can think about her still being friends with talents, supporting them behind the scenes like I see Kson doing. She had lots of tumult during her stint, even so she gave people lots of joy.

Stick around, you might find a vtuber who gives you joy.

I cant believe Youtube is this dumb and i really believe it was not going to work because i did not believe it was going to be this easy

Millenia ago i received a membership of Kronii for no reason, i tried to investigate how i could replicate the process to get memberships of the rest of Holomems, Memberships and gift options are blocked in my country because you cant access the Join menu in their channel, the process is dumb as hell, use any free VPN and connect to the USA, go to the Tuber channel, enter the Join membership option that is to the right to the subscribe button, enter Gift options and activate the option that allow you to recieve gifted memberships, you can later turn off the VPN, the only setback is that you cant do it on batches, so you have to enter in all the channels you are interested and do the process manually also be semi active in the chat help to get them faster

As a Sana watcher myself, whose graduation really hit me feeling depressed for weeks despite her only being at best top 5 I watched at that time (pretty sure it was Gura, Mumei, Irys, Selen, then Sana), I am of a different opinion.

Of course, everyone not inside Holo itself can only speculate on the reasons, but I personally believe Sana's graduation IS related to how much she was streaming. Either they decided not to renew Sana's contract because her schedule was inconsistent (ex. have an availability to come to JP to record concerts during the holidays), or more likely, that her new contract specifically states that she needed to stream 'more' (be it frequency or less hiatuses) and that wasn't something she couldn't promise due to her freelance work. It's fine if Ina and Gura streamed less, as they already grinded their channel 'brand' for the first year to the point that they would always be having 10k return streams, but Sana didn't really do that when she's missing a third of the time before her graduation announcement.

And judging from her other channel, she was heavy into gacha games, which Holo doesn't have perms for as most of the popular ones originate from China, and so her main form of 'comfort' content to stream isn't even accessible to her. I do get the sense that Sana joined Holo to get away from her other job (unlike Ina who was on the verge of being burnt out from her 'priestess duties' until she joined Holo), but with perms being against her like her astrology streams being privated even before her graduation, and her 'new kusoge' every week goal never materialized (just to name 2)... I had a feeling that she was running out of 'fun stuff' to do in Holo anyways.

It actually reminds me of Vesper Noir. He got suspended for a reasonable amount of time (was it like 3 weeks?), and on top of that he missed a few more weeks during Christmas visiting Family and going to Japan.. and all of this before not even being six months into the job! And guess what? Once back from his 'New Year break', he made the promise that he will stream EVERY WEEK for the foreseeable future, with his only 'breaks' going forward would be his regular Mon/Tues off. Lucky for him his zatsu streams *cough*supareadingstreams*cough* are strong and it's his 'comfort' stream, but regardless, I don't see Vesper "I'm going to be biking for a while if I don't like my job" Noir would make this type of hard commitment unless his spot in Tempus (which he has admitted is his dream job come true) was in jeopardy because of his absences.

Just my 2c

Sounds like a skill issue, bruh. Have you considered just moving?
