/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

couldnt adapt to the changing landscape of prerecorded to live recorded videos, plus kizuna being replaced with different VAs.

Kizuna Ai was a typical captialist Japanese creation, completely fake, she only existed to shill products and make money
She got overtaken by vtubers who took a hint from Western streamers who are a bit more geniune so they have much more lasting appeal

>>14121356
the VAs situation is a big turn off for me, stopped watching her around that time.

>>14121356
Newfagchama...

>>14121356
when her lesbian wife graduated that was the foot in the grave the extra VA shit was the nail

The irony of this post is i bet a deadbeat's hands typed it

What is it about -mostly- basic design singing girls that gets me so uncontrollably hard

>>14121356
Upd8 went wrong

>>14121356
The clone arc was the beginning of the end for her. After that, Ai will never live it down. The company may own the rights to the character, but the soul behind it is irreplacable.

Her company went full techbro and now is just pushing crypto shit.

>>14121356
She's joining hololive. You heard it here first.

>>14121685
I could only see that happening if she went the Suisei route and didn't require a rebirth

Japan gets tired of things fast. It happened to Miku before her. The same thing will happen to Hololive.

>>14121685
No, but I could see a route where she joins hands with major solo vtubers to form a group.

>>14121849
Miku was big for several years to nearly a goddamn decade da fuck are you talking about?

>>14121904
his immortal anon and to gods decades are just seconds

>>14121849
You underestimate the loyalty of Japanese fans. They are unlike the throwaway culture of the West. Japanese fans will do everything, even kill, for their oshi. What happened is that the Clone arc destroyed the loyalties between Ai and her fans, not helped by how she instead began pandering to the Chinese.

And the irony of this post is that he's so fucking /here/ he doesn't shit about the industry.

>A.I. Channel
>A.I. Games
She would have break 3M a long time ago if she didn't made the dumbfuck move of splitting up the channels

A lack of proper management. Had the clone scandal not happen, if she kept everything in one channel instead of separating her main and gaming channels, and had she rode the COVID lockdown wave to it's fullest she would be sitting at 5+ million subs by now. It's a huge shame because all of these could've been easily achieved had her team cared for her and not the product of her.

>>14121904
Is she still blowing up the charts? Do you still her around outside of occasional rand appearances? That's what i'm talking about.

>Had the clone scandal not happen, if she kept everything in one channel instead of separating her main and gaming channels
Channel split happened long before cloneshit.

Her creators didn't know how to adapt to chuubas trends at the right time, and it didn't help that they tried to force those horrible clones with the intention of replacing the OG voice actress in the future.
and now they focus more on her musical career instead of effectively continuing to expand her popularity first and get more fans and then propel that musical career, something that Hololive and other agencies discovered much earlier.
I doubt her end is relatively near but her heyday is now distant and with no chance of returning to the immense popularity she once had.

>>14121502
Stop talking, it is nonsense. Fuckos like you don't know anything.
>>14122032
Correct.

>>14122105
Kizuna will never interact with her as the chinks still "hate" her and Kizuna still has a considerable chink following despite the clone arc rubbing them the wrong way, Kson is the reason why Kizuna and hololive have never collaborated even though it has been seen the intention of both companies to collaborate together and they probably never will.

Kizuna is old and busted

>>14121436
>Kizuna Ai was a typical captialist

Ok comrade

>>14121436
This post is peak comedy.

>>14121685
> gen 6 just debuted successfully
> suddenly AI announced retirement
What if she already did?

>>14121356
Never recovered from the clone blunder. The complete failure of upd8 didn't help either.

The best thing about her recent announcement of indefinite hiatus is that Ame could use the NFT shit as material to mock the ever loving shit out of.

Nothing last forever, someday the same will happen to Gura,Pekora and the other girls, enjoy the present.

>>14121356
Simply to put: Better, more attractive for viewers vtubers appeared. Bit more personality, bit more interaction with viewers, bit more interesting content, bit more better tech etc etc and it added up to Kizuna Ai simply looking poor in comparison to others. Any indie 2views with basic VR setup can easily emulate what Kizuna Ai has to offer.

>someday the same will happen to Gura,Pekora and the other girls

They'll get replaced with clones, then used as a front for crypto scams and go on hiatus to pursue a career in NFTs?

>>14124861
>Replaced with clones
Ai's career was OBLITERATED because of that. The company may own the avatar, but the soul is irreplacable. The collapse of Ai's career had its genesis in the Cloning arc.

If Hololive does the same, they will destroy themselves as well.

Anon?

Sorry, for some reason my comment was duplicated when refreshing the page.

>Thinking vocaloid is dead
Anon, Miku is still relevant.

>>14124830
To be fair, Kizuna was designed to compete with Vocaloid.

>>14124830
>Better personality
Kizuna Ai Is all personality. Her best content is when she interacts with other people, which doesn't happen nearly enough.
>Better tech
Kizuna Ai has always had the best of tech, her live concerts absolutely floor everyone else's, her rigging is the most complicated and her production standards have always been second to none.
Everything else I agree with

>>14121436
unlike hololive that is deliberately designed to drain the last yens of virgin losers?

>>14121436
>Lasting appeal
What?
Nigga vtubers are not for long lasting appeal, thats the same goes with youtubers like Jacksepticeye or Pewd

>>14122116
Upd8 was behind that shit. Like most braindead decisions regarding Kizuna Ai.
The only fuckup that Kizuna Ai. INC did was NFT and Chinese pandering.
Now whichever is worse is up to you, but what Upd8 did was worse in my opinion.
Fuck Upd8. Thank God that company is dead.

Ai-ge was made for the China market, Ai-chan is still making content for her Japanese audience

The clone saga killed her momentum dead to the point a western retarded shark dethroned her.
