/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>12429077
desu lore is probably the least interesting part about vtubing to me and I usually skip it completely, mostly because it's almost always just an infodump. Lore might be fun as little references that pop up from time to time or as flavor. The vtuber who did keyfabe the best is still Kizuna Ai, and the only time she dipped her toes into lore was with the clone saga that was universally agreed on to be a terribly performed arc, or Black Ai as a joke. Outside of that she was always just an AI that wanted to connect people, and that was enough to keep her going for over five years. The best comparison would be Melody who is basically the same thing, but she did the whole lore video thing that I clicked away not even five seconds in and did nothing to change my perception of her, nor seemed to be relevant ever again.

If you can make an engaging gimmick out of it that stays relevant throughout your streams, sure. But I usually don't see that being the case.
