/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

You know the worst part of this Minecraft disaster, I mean other than all that hard work getting destroyed that is, is that I was getting all revved up to make some good catalog threads gloating about how Hololive has a history VTuber who can't talk about history at all cause they're scared, meanwhile Nijisanji's just discussing torture methods and having fun and it's cool. And now I can't do that because Luca was involved in this disaster so they'll just be able to shitpost back so that sucks. Mind you he is still my Luxiem oshi.

As I pay close attention to the numbers that each VTuber receives and how well they are performing, I have gathered enough data to come to a conclusion.
There is really no particular rhyme or reason to whether or not someone gets popular other than "they were the first." I've realized it could have been anyone and they all would have done well as long as they were the first. All the analysis about their personality, or their streaming skills, or any of that, it doesn't really mean anything.
Myth was the first all-female EN group so it was and still is a huge success. Luxiem was the first all-male EN group so it was and still is a huge success. It's that simple. Most people do not have the time or patience to keep up with more than five streamers, if that. So that is why you see diminishing returns from anyone else who attempts it. Because people have had their fill. But nobody seems to realize that and keeps introducing more. That's fine if you just want to have fun streaming, but if you expect to gain anything from it, that's a bad idea.
