/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

You know, I think about a comment made here a while ago. I can't find it in the archive but they were sad that people didn't seem to take Shxtou seriously despite him being obviously popular and how they thought he could easily be knocked down by I shit you not, a vtuber thought they could wreck Shxtou's reputation by crying about how he unfollowed them and other people and that was proof he was mean. The post was prettied up, yes, but that was the main claim.

Two questions,
1) They were obviously a big fan, what made them one? Posting that would probably garner him some bregudging respect here, even.
2) What are the honest-to-god chances 4chan influenced that person?
