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

No, no, no. I think they should build up and use their own site/service. I think they're well beyond the threshold where it would be profitable, they'd have more control over moderating chat and such, and they wouldn't have to put up with random bans like this.

Streaming HD video is one of those problems that looks really easy because youtube and twitch do it so seemlessly. It's actually a really hard problem to do without tons of CDNs and the like to mirror content out and synchronize them across viewers. Youtube's 30% cut seems pretty greedy but it's pretty modest considering the amount of value you get for using their platform (not just the streaming parts but normalizing things across international payment processors and the legal liaison is very generous). If they weren't such cucks about moderation and weren't clearly operating the site revenue-neutral to harvest user data for the Google panopticon, they'd probably be the best option out there.

For reference, niconico is an established (Japanese) player in this market and still routinely struggles with streams that have more than a few thousand viewers unless they pull out all the stops ahead of schedule.

Something seems to be wrong with your twitter, some of the letters are all fucked up and a bunch of lines.

That or you're trying to cast spells on us with some strange runic tounge.

Sora doing an English learning stream

I hate the "your english is sooooooo gud" fawning. It's so condescending. The only hololive person I'd say that to is Haachama because she's unironically gone from incoherent baby talk to being able to ironically shitpost in a pretty short period of time.

But as far as JPs go, Sora's pronunciation isn't half bad. And she likes Higurashi so she has to be based.

No different from the EN talent getting "nihongo jozou" from the JP audience.

I applied for this group a couple months ago. The application said "male and female are allowed", they never even watched my audition. I'm not at all shocked to see that the new performers are all female.

Niconico also charges a subscription fee for basic services that YouTube offers for free. It's been awhile since the change, but initially one would need a subscription just to upload their videos in non-shit tier quality, and even now there's still a free user limit on how many videos someone can have on their channel, how many video tabs can be open, and even how many users one can follow.

I'm unsure if this is in place due to the size of the company behind the site or if it's just common for Japanese social sites in general, as Pixiv also puts very basic features (editing posts, browsing history, etc) behind a subscription as well, but if a Japanese company made a chuba site, I would expect this business model.
