/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

I've found that as I've gotten older I'm less likely to try out new games even if I own them and will instead play something that can be done in short bursts like Apex.
For this reason I've been thinking of becoming a streamer for awhile as a way to force myself to stick to a schedule and play new games since I really like having video games be a part of my life.
I figured I'd commission a vtuber avatar for my streams because I like anime and enjoy watching vtubers and like the idea of the extra layer of interaction that face-cams allow but am way too awkward to show my real face on stream.
Would a chill laid-back dude who just plays games on stream like normal get any viewers or do you absolutely need to have a gimmick as a male vtuber?

Haato hasn't been on stream at all this arc outside of her picture showing up when the time warp happened, but she still posts on twitter. Is it important? Is it just to let us know that she's still around as she sits out the current arc?
