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

This is just another day in the indie vtuber hellscape. "Drop your PNGs" is some bullshit that everyone and their mother seems to be doing and I don't know why. I think I did it for some people I follow and have gotten to know and that's it but everyone and their mother is doing it to amass clout that it just annoys the fuck out of me.

On another note, Reddit is currently circlejerking over Gura's 2 million while pretty much nearly everyone who is saying that she owes a lot of that due to Youtube itself and not her own talent as a content creator (I'm not saying she's bad, but she's very middle-of-the-road for me) is getting blasted. I'm part of the latter camp because I know full well how Youtube works and how it tends to favor promotion of people. If raw talent was the only thing anyone ever needed to succeed on that platform, most of the holostars wouldn't be below fucking YAGOO in subscriber counts. Gura's success is basically lightning in a bottle. She was able to get big doing some memey bullshit despite infrequent posting on other platforms and when she dropped being Senzawa for Gura, her success carried over and gave her a big boost, getting the ball rolling far faster than anyone else in hololive. Since then she's been balling out of control because the algorithm already saw her channel as a safe bet for promotion of vtubers to other people, so she essentially serves as a gateway. People really like to say "she's at the top because she's the best" when time and again that is proven false in other media and content creation. The people here who have their own sections on the farms are still somehow making money despite being horrific pieces of shit.

I dunno. Sometimes I unironically feel vtubers were a mistake, or at least the rabid fandom is making me regret the whole thing's existence. I just want to watch some funny dog girl play a game about a blue hedgehog without all the goddamn bootlicking.
It's probably healthier to cut yourself out of the fandom aspects in the long run and just focus solely on what you want out of the medium (although this can apply to pretty much anything with a big enough following). Close the chats, ignore discussions, and go full hermit. Vtubers are ubiquitous enough that more and more weirdos are being factored in, as we can see in this thread, but it isn't going to change who and what the talents are at the end of the day.
 
Another among us collab on the 20th

Here's the lineup. If you recognize every participants, give yourself a cookie.

The stupid shit is, stuff like this just makes her feel a lot worse. As has been mentioned a lot, she dislikes being the frontrunner and hates even as much as acknowledging her success. I really wish all the people in her chat and Reddit would finally realize that. I was watching Polka last week or so and she was about to hit 500k, and it was nearly 80% of what the English chat was talking about. Hope it's just the vocal minority that are absolute mongoloid troglodytes.

Anyway, off to watch a double date featuring the best sheep around.

 
Disregard shrimps
Join the takodachis, we arent nearly as autistic.
I'm a dirty VOD watcher, as I cant afford to spend my time across multiple time zones watching live..so my interactions with chat are limited to what I read on screen only.

But yeah, I'd have to agree. Ina's community seems the most laid back and least autistic. Kiara has a literal fucking cult, Gura and Ame have a bunch of autistic Twitch kids. Callie's seem to be the next in line behind Ina as the least autistic..but Ive seen my share of shit there too, just not on the level of the others.

Honestly, I try to ignore chat as much as possible haha.
 
Just posted a few minutes ago. I imagine everyone agreed in someway (post your png and I'll rate etc.) but I don't see this ending well. He is of course part of Domo's group

Disgusting. Why would you post this? Who wants to see this? Why would anyone want to associate with you after posting this?

I get the feeling that a lot of English viewers are people coming from Twitch as they seem to have the same metrics and numbers focus. It seems like all anyone cares about on Twitch, streamer or viewer, is numbers and metrics. I get that they are important, but the big streamers will lose their minds if they have a 20k viewer stream instead of a 30k viewer stream. This only gets compounded by chat spamming '20k andy omegalul.' Sure, numbers matter but they shouldn't dominate every aspect of the stream.
 
Is it me, or Holo and Niji have been doing a lot more collabs lately?

on a somewhat unrelated note
Does the "bamboozle" tag has a special meaning I'm not aware of? Do they know what it means in the west?
I think it's to do with her playing as Mirage, at least thats what I presumed
 
Former indie vtuber here, community sucks ass considering how many fake people really want to be a vtuber. A good majority of them actually have no idea how to stream which is why they end up sticking to posting on twitter and stuff.
They get really pissy if you point out their flaws too. So I quit sadly.
You were in the wrong circles then, unfortunately. Couple of us here are plugging at it and keep our abject disdain of the indie scene under lock and key as much as we can.

Sounds a lot like DeviantArt, and probably for the same reason, where people only want to get the quick hit of having people praise them for their ’hard work’ rather than actually doing it to improve or be the best they can,

Sucks but makes alot of sense that certain people would be attracted to it thinking its easy money. This also this makes me really want a kiwi bird vtuber.
 
1 million people are horny for the captain

Since then she's been balling out of control because the algorithm already saw her channel as a safe bet for promotion of vtubers to other people
Balling out of control would be the best description because she refuse to acknowledge she is the top, not bad for someone that was recruited for a GPB that suddenly went Main
 
Be the change you want to see.
Pretty sure any Kiwi who became a vtuber would know better than to associate with this place.

Any thoughts one whether this Sephira Su graduation harbingers another Hololive generation? Better question - is Hololive reaching the point where they can’t add too much more talent without starting to cannibalize?
They could expand Holostars, but I'm not sure if there's any strong desire to do so.
 
Apparently from Calli's last stream:

Like, I can understand wanting to thank someone you appreciate, but send a fan letter or something man. This just feels like attention seeking.
Lmao what a fucking creep, poor Cali but at the same time gotta get a good laugh at this.

And yeah.. of course it's funny when this happens to another vtuber you follow but not that funny when it's towards your own oshis.

Welcome but if you're here to rant only you can fuck off right away

Gura reaching 2 Mil? Who gives a fuck. Super Mega Nenecchi reaching 400k is the real deal.
