/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

All numbers are culled and faked by Youtube who controls the narrative through their team of botting indians and spaghetti algorithm which determines the value of the content and stream.

These are not the traditional content creators that garner an audience through effort that we have grown accustomed to. This is something different. Something darker. Living breathing puppets on the internet whose sole purpose is to farm botted engagement and fake clicks. No different from the spam bots currently infesting twitter.

Rather curious. What's stopping other corporations/indies from following the meta? The internet is already dead as it is and this seems like an INFINITE mindshare cheat. Imagine the numbers.

Doubt UI is being botted. The real world impact can clearly be seen. It's less botting but more Boosting. It's clearly being boosted. Not long ago Michael Cat was getting inflated by bots because her orbiters wanted her to push an "agenda". It's probably the same goons. An underground circle of crypto scammers who have connections everywhere in the industry.

Botted likes and commissioned paid content.

More reason to believe that Advent is Gura's project she's been working on ever since the homo menace came along.

X CEO has talked about their plans of moving towards AI being integrated into their platform. It's not a coincidence that twitter has been feeling a bit artificial lately with inflated numbers, AI content, and bots plaguing the site. "Artificial". That's what the internet will be reduced to. Niji has just been ahead of the curve on this. And American entertainment industry are currently on the same path. Writer strikes? Yeah...

View farms are a weird practice. On one hand these companies have to have something to brag about but on the other hand it's all smoke and mirrors and NOT real engagement. It all feels fake. Nothing is real on the internet anymore. Deboosts, filters and shadowbans. Bots, curated trends, boosting. It's clear that there's some kind of digital warfare amongst corpos that's taking place.

Numbers bros... Now that Kronii is confirmed as the SEXIEST holoEN according to Taiwan niki. When is our first Kronii lewds daily group jerkoff sessions going to take place? I propose we start doing it right now. My Kronii lewds folder is running a bit dry desu.

>Why is hololive declining
Botting is probably a normalised practice among corporations. Imagine a cyber warfare amongst corpos who are stiffling their competitors with algorithms deboosts, filters, and shadowbans. That would mean that Youtube is purposefully hiding viewers. So what happens when Youtube hides engagement? Streams get botted even more. Thereby making Youtube a pay to win service. Lack of bot availability is probably the reason why numbers have reclined desu. Let's propose the wild idea that hololive is also botting streams? This would make a lot of sense if we suggest that Niji already bought up all the bots.
