/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>intended audience is not there at all
Where do you think most people watching came from, one look at vrabi stats disproves that? In fact, no matter what vid you check, there's more people watching that are subbed to girls and not to JPstars. Ofc a chunk of the audience is there, but it's also accompanied by a bunch of schizos and larpers parroting what schizos on this board say to fit in and avoid being made fun of, on an anonymous website no less..
Anyway, it doesn't matter, people watch what they want but it's just that there's not that many new people coming in to watch vtubers and the ones that watch let's say Kobo prob don't feel the need to switch of disregard what they're watching without a good reason. Well there are new people coming in, but there's so many vtubers and other streamers that it's all being diluted, at least it's less than it used to be during the boom in late 2019. If they want to get bigger then they have to get their name out there like doing cons, collabs with outsiders etc (but then you fags, and catalogmonkeys even more so, start crying). Internally, at least in the cover+niji sphere everyone is already aware of them and everyone interested is prob watching. If anything, bunch of people left when the initial tempus unity was shattered by Vesper menheraing out and also him being the most popular means that him not streaming will likely result in people not watching their second fav aka other guys (same happened with Gura not streaming and everyone collectively losing a bit of audience, at least that's how it looks to me, I may be wrong).
>Cover expects them to blow up while doing the minimum to promote them
There's not much they can do, the guys have to organize collabs and more interesting events themselves. I partially take that back, since if I think about it, cover actually dose that stuff but only for JPs and not that often (minecraft where Kanata clowned out is a good example) The main thing cover can do is to secure more perms so that they guys can play more fun stuff and not just fotm garbo to get some tourists, but secure perms for older/less active/indie devs and/or publishers. There's tons of gold out there that they could play to attract new people. Another thing is sponsored collabs maybe, specially with gacha games. Laugh all you want, but one look at some /vg/ generals will tell you how they watch chuubas or are aware of them but don't bother giving them a try. Gacha nowadays attracts a lot of eyes, but it could be other stuff too. Basically they have to do more stuff with all kinds of people. Same applies to holos, they only lose their audience and SCs (due to barely anyone coming) over time. SC earnings since their debut reflect that especially well. Basically do what Axel does, but Axel isn't gaining much from it since he is always seen and presented as an EN vtuber then he does his outsider stuff with JPs during a different timeslot, in a language his initial audience doesn't speak and with people En viewers don't know jack shit about. So yeah, that kind of reaching out is more for himself personally. I don't care for numbers, I'd watch Axel even if he had 50 people watching, but I just wanted to share what I've obeserved since I stared watching these streamers 4 years ago.
