/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

I know we all make the joke "just shut up and stream" and call people like gura and ayame lazy, but there has to be a logical explination for why so many popular streamers don't simply "shut up and stream".

The burnout rate for this job is absurd, even among those that make it big. I work in finance so I consider my work/life balance pretty shit, but at least I know when I go home and turn off my phone, my day is done no matter what.

I have no proof to back this up, but I'd be willing to bet the constant psychological stress of knowing people are analyzing every second of every stream turns what would normally be a 20 hr work week into the mental taxation of a 100 hour one.

If you look at the really sucsessfull vtubers, they either really love the job so it's not as much work for them, or they're genuinely psychoctic, often both.

I know the pay for this cna be great, but the more I look at this industry I feel it's like signing a deal with the devil

There is no chance in hell you have as much money as they do. I'm sure they work hard and deserve financial security, but I can almost garuntee you need the $100 more than they do.

Every time I see a red message pop up on my screen I wanna puke. It'slike seeing someone self harm before your eyes and then telling you to not stop them.

Please stop this. You can love your oshi but please be fiscally responsible

Weed, coke, shrooms, lsd, you name it

No judgement here whatsoever, I haven't gotten laid in years.

Simply curious as there is a stereotype that this board is full of virgins and I'm not sure that's correct.
