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

The shark is rocketing towards half a million subscribers; egirl tears make for potent propellant, apparently.

She totally forgot that English Vtubers that were her kind of target already existed but she leashed on the popular ones for those sick downvotes

Every single one of them always gets that Kibi Dango question right and I never knew why. Turns out its from a kids manga series, Doraemon. Makes sense that these girls would know nerdy shit over math science, and history.

Did not any of their tard wranglers told them about removing that question? did not Kanata also dodged that bullet?

Burning Furniture hits a point that's been oddly ignored in this discussion: Gura is clearly not a child. Nor is she meant to be one. She is tiny and a bit silly, but otherwise a normal young woman like the others.
I also wonder why nobody complains about Ina. She is also small and flat but, unlike Gura, wears a sexy outfit on top of that.

Probably because her designer other designs are like that and people got used to, in the case of brittany probably because the shark is the most popular and meme'd of the bunch so she was the best target for maximum asshurt

In other news, Xbox is now shrimping the shark

I don't really know, all I do know is that Chinese fans, like their government, are notorious crybabies.
That's what I don't understand even more, I thought everyone there just considered HK part of China anyway and it was the people from HK that had objections to that.

That's what I think to when I posted the clip of Kanata dodging the question. The HK fans can also be rabid online, same as the Taiwanese ones. Again look how they tried to fuck with Civia's debut stream so she had to disable pre stream chat to stop the fighting just cus she is a CN vtuber and not political at all.

The poor lass didn't deserve that. If she had the money to leave, she would. Then again, she uses a VPN.

It wasn't just Coco that set off the Chinese, Haachama also did the same thing that upset them

It wasn't even anything that major, both were looking at their viewer metrics on youtube and unfortunately one of the top counties after Japan was Taiwan, which I think is automatically listed in the metrics. The overseas fans in the reddit think Coco might of done it to take the attention off Haachama.

They tried to brigade her Getting Over it stream today, and she switched it to members only and handled it like a pro - focusing on the game instead. Not sure if they can moderate the Superchats cuz I didn't see the ones giving her stick in the VOD

The mood I get from the reddit is that the fandom and Hololive management try very hard to stay away from *any* political views generally. The fans will jump in and warn the vtubers if theres a chance that reading a superchat is likely gonna get them in trouble.

That said the "employee" of Hololive which had a go at Venti on twitter had a full on case of TDS so...we'll see I guess.

I can see Taiwanese fans getting angry about questions regarding Hong Kong because they would interpret it as the streamers affirming the statehood of the PRC. According to Taiwan, all of China belongs to the RoC, so Hong Kong could not have been "returned" to the PRC in the first place. You have to be very delicate around the topic of Chinese geopolitics because both Chinese and Taiwanese are extremely petty about it. Cover does as much as possible to avoid any controversy surrounding their streamers, and getting one of them branded a communist bandit would taint that image.

Ah, so both sides are ridiculous.
I guess it's kind of impressive how many people doublethink how it's perfectly okay to have this play out in streamers' chats while also claiming that Cover is based for ignoring US politics and tranny superchats from shitting up their entertainment.
There isn't anyone left in the world who could somehow do something about this geopolitical slapfight who also happens to be a streamer. It wouldn't be for the audience either, because world leaders aren't watching streamers, either.
There's no way that many people are dumping (converted) hundreds of USD per stream when half the time they don't even get any interaction. In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if it's all fake and both sides just refund their superchats after every stream.
It's so absurd.
 
So at what point do these groups get big enough that YouTube becomes a liability? 30% of superchats getting skimmed off the top probably becomes quite noticeable far before that 30% hits four digits a day. Doing streaming video is expensive, but I know Amazon at least leases out their Twitch infrastructure to others (maybe not exactly the same infrastructure but definitely built from the lessons learned from it), and at some point, very close to where they are now, you'd have to imagine it'd start paying for itself and more. They could more easily moderate superchat content too, if that's really a concern, with word filters and the ability to pre-screen them before they appear on screen and such (I don't know, maybe YouTube provides for this already).

A whole site filled with nothing but streams of cute cartoon girls and hot anime guys playing video games 24 hours a day. It'd be a weeb paradise.

It's because Youtube has a gigantic, global userbase. It's like Steam; you pay the cut to get your product in front of as many eyeballs as possible. There's no compelling reason to leave unless Google starts making too many problems for you.

That said, I'd like to see a breakdown of how new viewers are discovering Hololive and others. Are they finding it through Youtube, or is it all through Twitter and other places where word of mouth is spread?

I've always thought they should start moving some of their game-heavy talent to Twitch, but someone raised the point that they only keep archives for like 3 months. The pay seems better though; it'd just be moving from one massive west-owned platform with a twitchy ban hammer to another.
