I always see this line of thinking, usually paired with that one dumb 4chan comic. But at the end of the day It's kind of just an empty platitude that comes from a place where you have to believe "we" have that kind of collective agency over the market in order to even be able to gatekeep.
If gatekeeping worked in that way retards like Mana mentioned on the last page would have been run off a long time ago. If it worked people like Froot would be long gone, or Artemis. But it doesn't, because they only need a small number of supporters to sustain them. content creation and streaming is a wide open market and you can't "keep people out" if there's people that want to watch them, they will. And here's the twist. That's a good thing, because that's the same shit that sustains people like Pippa when the internet tries to cancel her for the 40th time. That lets someone like Sayu start to bounce back after Niji deletes them.
You're not gonna gatekeep people out of vtubing, but you can keep supporting the ones you DO enjoy to ensure there's still somewhere for you to go and someone for you to watch even if other people you don't like start partaking of the hobby.
