/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>31522492
Little over 2 years in, no interest in stopping now, oshi still great.

Coming up on two years. I’m pretty burnt out and only watch one vtuber. The homos are probably going to be the last straw for me.

I've been watching since AI in late 2016 but I never engage too closely, usually just catch clips/compilations and read up on the wiki for new gens/lore as they come.

This activates my almonds

I've been watching my oshi for neraly 4 years

>>31523379
Are you a fellow Sora enjoyer?

Started with Ai back in the day, lost interest for a while, got back in via Holo in early 2020 so about 2.5 years solid. If anything I'm more into it now

I watched Ai and Nekomiya Hinata before the streaming era.

>>31522492
Maybe this is a western thing. Your vtubers tend to be disappointing and boring.

Just because you got bored after 2 years doesn't mean everyone does, you self-centered dimwit

>>31522492
Most of this board are EOP newfags. Don't believe me, just visit this thread
>>31464471
If they tell you they are oldfags, they are larping. 4chan has been full of redditors(and now discordfags) for a while.

>>31522492
I started in october 2019 thanks to a fubuki noises copilation, I regret nothing

>>31523199
Same. I've been watching since before HoloEN was a thing, but I've moved on to HomostarsEN, but only watch 2 of them. Pretty burnt out though.

how do I care again?

>>31522492
I've been watching vtubers since Kizuna Ai and never left. The longest I've been following a single person is ten years and counting. I've been a fan of her for a long time and her vtubing activities is a portion of that.

>>31529576
Just watch clips.

>>31522492
I only watch HololiveJP nowaday, still cheering for EN. I heard there are new guys tempus but they not really stand out so I got bored after 1 week and unsubbed them. There are too many chuubas and I no longer care about them except people I actually like.

Started in late 2019, for quite some time I used to watch lots of vtubers, Hololive, Niji, even some indies; nowadays I only watch my oshi and a few concerts from other chuubas.

>>31522492
4 years.

>>31532936
based

The Korone clip that got me into vtubers was posted two years and four months ago. I'm not leaving any time soon.

>>31522492
I watched Korone when I got into this and I will watch Korone until it’s over

>>31522492
I'd been watching Holos since 2018 but didn't really devote a lot of time to them, rather they weren't as important to me vs anime/games for example, until early 2020 when lockdowns gave me a lot of extra time. Generally I still watch more JP than EN but that's partially due to the time zones on my part, PST but I'm usually off work late so sometimes there aren't a lot of streams going, and I just don't watch Bae and only sometimes feel like Irys so it's still JPs for late-night.

My actual favorite thing was watching holoJPs until morning during lockdown (during which I was work from home and ultra flexible for over a year) but I can't really do that anymore.

>>31533965
can you understand japanese?

>>31522492
Since june of 2020, starting with Korone as well. I'm most likely trapped on the rabbit hole until Peko-chan graduates.

>>31522492
If we count me occasionally watching some Kizuna Ai let's plays then yes. If not, then I haven't hit 2 years yet but I've already mostly gone back to anime and manga anyways and only watch VODs of streams where they play something I'm actually interested in which is not often.

Watching Towa ever since she debuted till today. Still never stopped cumming for her.

>>31534316
Exactly the same as me, wtf even happened in june 2020 that we all got Hololive recommended

I’ve seen the occasional vtuber clip before and saw korones face in 2019 but for some reason it all went through the roof all of a sudden

>>31522492
Started watching JP holo a long time ago, then eventually branched out to NIJISANJI. Hanna Macchia was the last thing I watched before getting disgusted with vtubers and leaving for 2- 3 years.

After the break, I came back to watch the new holo myth, got bored and pursued indies. After watching Pippa for a while, I'm considering leaving.

I'm positive it's a cycle

if you're talking about nyanners you're a fag

>>31522492
No

>>31522492
Found my oshi over 3 years ago and never looked back

>>31534316
The plandemic, everyone was packed like sardines at their homes back then. I knew about Kizuna AI years prior but didn't looked into Vtubing until one of my subscriptions got on board with the craze by reporting and publishing clips.

>>31522492
I'm here as old as holoID and still going

>>31522492
A bit over 5 years here.

>>31522492
Been watching since mid-late 2020. Kind of feel like that's true. Sexless relationships with women and watching other guys have fun...was novel, I suppose, but eventually you wanna go live your own life too.

Got into it with Kaguya Luna, I'll probably leave with Senchou. Who knows, I'm still having fun despite it all.

>>31522492
It’s more like I’ll stick with my oshi as long as she would allow me to

this is my second year now

>>31522492
I've been really disappointed with EN over the past year. There's really only 1 left I enjoy watching. There are a couple JPs I'll watch and a few ID, but I'm nowhere close to into it as I was last year.

>>31522492
yes

>>31522492
More than 2 years now, and at this point, it's almost a part of my daily life. Also, I don't have any oshi I'm a member to 6 chuuba but only did it out of respect to their content and usually watch stream that I enjoy.

>Mythfags burning out after just two years
You did this to yourself. It's your fault that you didn't branch out.

Been watching vtubers since a friend linked me kizuner back in Dec 2016, started to prefer Kaguya Luna, then I started getting recommended Holo and Niji videos in 2019. I mostly watch Holos these days along with some Nijis, small corpos and indies. I rarely watch facecam streamers anymore.

>>31522492
nope, not even gonna pretend. Maybe I watched some JPs for two years but thats it.
I started with HoloJP. got bored after a while. Hopped onto some ENs, got bored after a while. Now I just watch Tempus who I can actually see myself watching long term.

>>31557264
oh wait, if you were asking if I've watched vtubers in general for more than 2 years then i mean yeah. started watching about a year prior to Myth debuting. I just kind of hop from vtuber to vtuber though

>>31523199
>>31527546
Same here. Became aware of vtubers through Kizuna Ai's fuck you stream and later Fubuki's meme videos, but only started watching regularly in mid 2020 because of Pekora and Korone, who were all the rage back then.

The first couple of months were a great experience since it was all new, but soon fter I started jumping from chuuba to chuuba and eventually burned out on it. I have watched only a handful of streams within the last 12 months or so and can barely be arsed to even watch clips.

>>31522492
I've been following chuubas for a couple of years before vstreamers became a thing and dominated the subculture. The quality of the community surrounding it was slowly going down long before HoloEN happened. I don't even know if the "oldguard" (god this term is so gay) still exists in some form or if they just moved on after the endless amount of vtuber related controversies they've witnessed for the entirety of 2018/2019. There was a time when vtubing was just riddled with promotional videos and mobile game shilling. It was so fucking bad that I wouldn't be surprised if most people tapped out from the scene.

>>31522492
I just crossed the two-year mark this summer and it's almost time for the two year anniversary with my oshi in November.

>>31522492
2017 before retards joined, was great at the time

That's on you bro. I watched The Undertaker for over 12 years, I've followed the Dolphins (casually) for over 25 years. Have some consistency in your life.

>>31524120
no it's a westerner thing, those that live in the west don't get as emotionally attached as those from asia, western vtubers are actually more entertaining to westerners than any asian vtuber, appart from the weirdo's and schizo's on this board anyone will tell you the same

>>31522492
I have been watching since 2017, you're just witnessing covid tourists returning to their original hobbies

>>31534056
A fair bit yeah, but not super-fluently. Some Holos are easy to watch (Aqua for example, at least when she streamed..) and others talk too fast / use weird lingo like Marine.

As it so happens, most of the dialogue in your average stream is not actually that complicated or different from an EN stream - describing shit they're doing in the game. Zatsudans are the toughest and yeah this is also what makes Marine tougher because that is a lot of her content.

>>31559228
>Have some consistency in your life.
Hard to invest in the inconsistent.
>>31556688
You got me: I wanted to watch chuubas that I can understand better.
