/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Personally, it was something to be expected. It's literally the same story as with youtubers and twitch streamers.
Not a lot of people were doing youtube back in the old days, not a lot of videos to watch.
Some people started recording gameplay, I will take pewdiepie as an example as he is the most recognizable and easy to explain

Pewdiepie started recording videos, there is no chance you didn't saw his happy wheels series.
People started noticing that youtube is getting more and more popular, his videos were being seen by a lot of people, they noticed that the train is starting, and wanted to hop in to become youtuber too.
Justi- I mean twitch, It's the same story. I remember when people were getting on the hype of streaming, tournaments streamed on twitch, and early pro players streaming their gameplay for fans.

Now its vtubers, we had Kizuna AI that managed to reach a lot of people, Siro Channel, Tokino Sora. They were the first vtubers to actually reach big numbers regarding reach and popularity. Were they first to the idea? Of course not. vtubers started long before in 2012. ever heard about Ami Yamato?

If there's a market that grows, there will be more and more people to try and have a share in it, almost like Esports.
