/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

I do, maybe type in a kusa or lol just so comments keep flowing

I keep getting recommended small indies with like 3-4 viewers and I want it to stop it hurts...

can't save them all, anon. Thanks to the advancement of technology, getting exposure is much easier than before, but sometimes it's better to perform in front of an empty room rather than a room full of fake audience.

>>3844197
Same specially when they've been doing it for more than a year

>>3844032
cruel, to yourself more than anything
you don't owe these girls, anon
do something you enjoy

the fact that they are in the game means they must accept that the market can be fucking cold to anyone who doesn't get a decent foothold.
better cross your fingers and hope they make it instead of pitying what cannot be. if they don't, move on, so many players keep joining anyway.

>>3844032
If your interactions can give them more confidence, then they are worth it.
Also, smaller vtubers will surely respond to you. That makes the experience much more personal and fulfilling than being in the noisy chat of hololivers.

Yes

>>3844121
what if you type big kusa when it's actually a yabei moment

>>3847437
That kinda reminds of something from Persona. Is that a real chuuba?

I keep 2-3 playing in a muted tab every now and then, hopefully some of them make it.

>>3844032
there's a time where I found a chuuba with 0 viewers. so it's basically only me watching her playing minecraft. I turned on all devices I have (total 4), log ini with diffrent accounts, and constantly jumping accounts and make comments. at that time I hope I have a friend for help.
I still remember how she greets all 4 of me and introducing herself. while playing she talked abt her school days, how she like natto, how her mother buy her a new cardigan that day, and her dream to collabing with Suisei and singing together one day (which she said is silly dream, but the 4 me assure her that it's fine to have a big dream, and there's nothing impossible).her channel has grown a bit since then. i also saving some money to akasupa whenever she got the monetization.
but then months ago she said she want to focus studying for entering college, and will stop from streaming for a moment.
she haven't shown up on twitter nor youtube since then

>>3849968
Damn, what compelled you to do all that?

>>3848710
I thought muted tabs don't count as views

>>3850213
Websites can not detect muted tabs. Now muting the video via the actual volume control in the video player is a different story.

>>3849968
wholesome schizo

>>3850018
I don't even know myself. her rigging is bad, she plays only minecraft and not even good at it. but I have the urge to support her somehow

>>3844402
>more than a year
holy fuck

>>3848385
Yes, elena badwise itou

>>3849968
I found a 0 view chuuba once with awesome personality and model but shes gone live twice over the past maybe 8 months. Sucks, these models aint cheap

>>3849968
You were nice, groomer.

>>3849968
Based

>>3847437
that design is brilliant, i like it

>>3849968
Incredibly based. You have a good heart.

I think some of my viewers do this for me. one time there was only 1 talking in chat but 14 viewers..

>>3849968
you're still a schizo, but a good schizo
godspeed

>>3844032
No I don't do this and I also don't feel bad for these failures that stream for months and months and get nowhere. Being an online entertainer is a high risk job with pretty much zero chances of success, and people know that when they decide to start. It's not like they went and got educated and are working a real job either, they're just trying to maintain the laziest lifestyle possible where they can remain as useless dysfunctional neets but get paid for it.
I'd much rather buy something from a street peddler than donate to a streamer, even if I have no need for what I'm being sold. One of them has lived a hard life due to circumstances and is still trying to make the best of it, while the other doesn't even have the willpower to improve their life so they make a hail mary play and pretend to be a cute anime girl so lonely morons will fund them.

>>3847437
EBI LOVE

No. Almost everyone has to work a real job to get by and can't just play video games pretending to be an anime character. Shit, most of hololive and nijisanji worked a real job and only did vtubing part time until they became successful. It is like those teenage who drop out of school and don't work because they think they can become a pro gamer like ninja and tyler1.

Once recommended an autistic tank fangirl vtuber called "隠し要塞のオリエンタ・トーゼ" in a Girls und Panzer thread on /a/.

She had already been posting World of Tanks videos and streams on a near daily basis for a year at the time, but was still pulling less than 10 views per video.

When I recommended her, her sub count went up by like 20 in a day due to peoples pity, which according to analytics was the fastest sub growth the channel had ever experienced. Channels doing better now though; still posts videos daily, but now gets over 50 views per video and has over 1000 subs.

>>3850254
i thought Youtube only counts active tab as view

temako... she's gonna make it... i'll leave her stream on...

>>3848710

Clip their best moments or add a timestamp in a comment.

Don't make people scrub through a 4 hour stream to find something interesting to watch.

Saw a black guy with one viewer talking about DOGE coin. I gave him a like and said "cool stream!". He said thanks. I left the window open in the background for 10 minutes.

>>3885495
>talking about DOGE coin
closed the window

>>3876610
huh. I really like her model and voice. Thanks for the recommendations anon

>>3844032
If I think they have potential and its just the execution that's lacking, yeah. If I don't like them at all I can't be bothered, and it would feel deceptive anyway.

>>3847437

Who is this?

>>3847437
Holy shit, that design is awesome.

>>3888108

Reverse image search-san says that this is "elena・ badwise・itou"

Twitter: https://twitter.com/elena_badwise
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/elena-badwise-itou

You’ll lose this mindset when you realize that not everyone can be successful. It sounds shitty but the truth always hurts

wait, what needs to happen in order to positively affect their viewer analytics? 'cause i just have the stream open in a different tab while doing something else and some of the posts here are saying that doesn't count

>>3849968
Based and kind pilled.

I do that sometimes too but I actually have to like them. Their voice has to at least be nice for background noise.
If I'm feeling really generous I'll give him a green supa. But at the end of the day it's half out of pity and half me caring for people trying their hardest. It makes me feel really bad when effort goes in noticed, but I've also accepted that this industry is cruel.

>>3888867
This wouldn't be so bad if failure didn't mean death. If you can't succeed in this world, you are the fodder to be ground up into blood and meat for the elites. There's no middle ground, you win or you die. I don't want my oshis to die, anon.

>>3885495
this is reparations

>>3888461
she's actually great!

>>3889491
no facial expressions though

>>3889491
It's going to be a no from me.
I'm an autistic weeb and I need my Moe.
Wake me up when she has an alternate human form.

>>3876794
>i thought Youtube only counts active tab as view
Then pull them out into a new window then.

>>3849968
kind hearted anon

>>3844032
All the time

>>3844032
I love watching them despite having low viewers. How I discovered VAV. Other good ones are Hoonie and Average Rose who only had 44people watching today

>>3850018
isn't that called saviorfagging?

pls help temako reach 10k...

>>3895743
No that’s only for NijisanjiEN

>>3849968
pure hearted schizo

>>3888949
to be sure >>3893239

>>3849968
Hats off anon you're bigger saviorfag than I or many, only use 2 devices and haven't gone as far as to samefag on a chat yet... still admirable.

>>3849968
>samefagging for the greater good
thought i'd never see the day

>>3849968
What's it called when you try to do something really nice for someone but the result is actual kinda cruel even if that wasn't the intention?

>>3900111
BPD

Occasionally yeah.

Only her, especially since she doesnt speak much
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5xxEzb_ew0

>>3900151
No. Those are purposefully shitty.

>>3844032
Most vtubers i watch are in <50 viewers category.
Yeah, they will never get lol "big", but most of them are in it because they genuinely like streaming and interaction with viewers and don't give seriously crap about numbers.
Not every streamer dreams about turning vtubing into profit, some just want to sit, play some games and talk with people.

>>3849968
Twitch?
Because worth noting that their discoverability systems don't kick in till streamer has at least 3 active viewers. Hearing your story and how later she got grown a bit sound like you made her little channel noticeable and bringed attention of these few people, hero.

>>3849968
You are a fucking saint, don't let anyone bring you down.

>>3844032
I do it sometimes, but usually watch a bit. It's more a case of being unwilling to close the window, so I simply mute the stream and leave in the background

>>3849968
Well, who the fuck is it? And why has nobody else asked? I want to savoirfag if she ever comes back damnit.

>>3854555

You as well.

>>3889572
She had one for april fools anon.

>>3844032
For the past few months I've been keeping 1 or 2-3 small JP indies on the background most of the time, not much has changed about my life other than a lot more jap being spoken around the house like being in a big japanese family.
It's nice ですね.

>>3906401
They want them for themselves anon, deep down they dont want them to ever make it so they can be their only audience, thats the endgoal of all saviorfags

>>3917957
>thats the endgoal of all saviorfags
Speak for yourself, I just want my oshi to have fun and be happy.

>>3916117
nigga what did you say to me

>>3906401
she haven't posted anything anywhere for 4 months, and I im trying to move on. Knowing her channel would only dragged innocent anons to the void.
I know she is doing her best and catching her new dream now. if anything, im happy I have the chance to know a bit about her.
the money I saved for the akasupa already donated to the nearest local orphan, since I don't want to use that cash for my self and she stated that she likes children (so maybe she will agree on that too).
hope nobody would suffer like this, a bit bittersweet but the pain is real

temako is at 1.68k!

>>3927985
I thought you were a saint but after this comment, you're an angel. If I had extra akasupa cash... I'd spend it on stupid shit and you helped out orphans.

You truly are an inspiration and made my heart grow three sizes.

>>3844032
It really hurts me when I need to leave, I always think "what if it is my fault if they think they are doing something wrong or boring because they saw the viewer count drop?"

this is all so sad. indie tubers were a mistake...

>>3895069
Africats have their own vt thread and there are plenty of Rose fans it seems, so while technically she's a small chuuba, she's still known.

>>3844032
No but maybe I should.

>>3933783
just tell em, i'm sure they'd appreciate a "duty calls, thanks for the stream" or something similar.

I still miss her cute breakfast review streams....
Hopefully she’s doing alright

>>3849968
I want to believe this autism, anon. I want to believe

>>3935385
>last tweet in new years
any rrats?
also UOOOHH

>>3922732
I said I'm very lonely

have you guys ever had one of the small chuubas you support just explode in viewers suddenly? one of the chuubas i lurk in went from 20-30 views to 1.2-1.4k per stream and it feels pretty nice. I just wish that some viewers would become regulars after the hype dies down

>>3849968
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I DON'T WANT TO FEEL

>>3942667
Who? Craziest one I saw was a 2 digit chuba that peaked at almost 4k viewers. She's already down to 600ish which is still very good. Seems to have some issues with antis or something though.

>>3943013
せしりあちゃんねる / Cesilia Channel
latest stream was her just browsing some forum. It was pretty fun to have a very active chat for once even if i dont understand moonrunes

>>3943235
There seemed to be a lot of Taiwanese viewers for her latest video.
I assume it's because of her appearance on Bahamut (which is a Taiwanese gaming site + community forum)

>>3844032
Yeah I do it a lot, used to do it way more opening the streams of so many of them using the internet turned into a nightmare. Then I heard youtube doesn't count your views if you use adblock so I chilled on that but I still do it sometimes on lesser scale

>>3942667
Not exactly small as what most people here say but I remember when Ichinose Uruha had like 200 people at most watching, she was growing steadily then the Apex tournament happened and she started consistently getting over 1k and growing and growing, it felt sudden to me

>>3943921
BilliBilli is awaits it's next prey...

>>3941391
Her channel is 2 years old and max concurrent viewers was averaging around 50ish. She probably gave up after being stuck at 5k subs for a year.

Someone said she’s streaming on a different channel now but i don’t know what it is

>>3945089
Taiwanese viewers are mostly nice people...........but some of them will be pissed if a Vtuber mentions that they will be launching on Bilibili.

I think there was this one Japanese Vtuber girl that announced that she wanted to launch a Bilibili platform........and then tons of Taiwanese viewers gave her dislike.

Was it Konomiya Mai or something?
