/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>51760026
Over here, yes. But maybe on Reddit, people are less cynical.
For what it's worth I believe she wanted to do this, yes.

I hope we get to see the project she's been working on for her birthday

>Am I the only one who thinks

>>51760026
The only reason she's coming back is to announce her graduation. EN branch will pretty much decline afterwards, Gen 3 canceled and Gen 2 never reaches 1mil subs.

>>51760077
Surprise, it's a $30 keychain! Took her months to get the price just right.

Because you would've praised her if she didn't show, right? These Jewish tricks are so blatant.

>>51760390
Cool, i'll buy 10.

>>51760470
Based.

>>51760189
Do we know why cover has pretty much left their EN branch to rot at this point?

Nope, I love the Goombus.

>>51760431
Maybe she should do regular, no shill stream then

>>51760189
I don’t think Cover will let her graduate until the last member cancels, that and bad pr

>>51760026
If you're a fan of course you should be happy that she streams.

>>51760581
Why? The Gura you fell in love with is long gone by this point

>>51760026
You're not the only one to be hit over the head repeatedly as a child but yes

>>51760710
Who cares. Once your oshi, always your oshi.

>>51760618
Maybe Yagoo should debut EN3 then.

Gura my belove

EN3 when?

>>51760390
You forgot the commissioned video she paid someone else to do. It took a lot of work to click "send" on paypal!

>>51760026
She loves not us, but our love for her.
And not only she. It's like that with all girls in entertainment industry. And not only girls, but guys too.
So when a guy from a boy band or a young idol-girl says they love us, or they love their fans, it's not like that at all. They love that we love them, but they not love us.

>>51762039
Take the AI pill.

>>51760026
no, lying to yourself is very common here

>>51762159
Zero difference between what he implied and a robot.

>>51762293
I'm not talking about the present.

She came back because she's contractually obligated to stream on her "birthday". If cover can't shill the thousandth acrylic stand that immediately goes into a landfill then Gura will go to jail.

>>51760077
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, LOOK AT HIM!

>>51760189
she's already caused them to decline. she's hurting more than herself when she pulls this shit. how many of them hate her?

>>51760026
If she loved you she wouldn't ghost you

>>51760026
Why not both?

>>51760026
you are retarded
look at cover's financial and how much their stock price would tank if they have to discontinue the gura line of merch
how much inventory loss they would have to eat
i bet your ass yagoo flew to her house with a gun and is forcing her to stream. MILLIONS ARE ON THE LINE

>>51760026
Neither, it's a mandatory stream that's the only reason.

Yagoo is Gura's child's godfather
And also father

>>51764085
cover is worth around 1 billion usd. i would say if gura graduates, their stock price would drop at least 50%
$500 MILLION DOLLARS

>>51760026
No, unfortunately all you pedos have mindrot

>>51760057
>on Reddit, people are less cynical
Maybe 6 months ago they were, now they rratpost just as much as /here/, which makes sense because there is virtually no difference between /vt/ and r/hololive anymore because you're all stupid faggots

>>51764216
Well yes, but it's a mandatory birthday stream to sell birthday merch, sometimes things overlap.

>>51763714
Why do faggots keep blaming Gura for the EN decline? I left HoloEN when they announced Tempiss, and i dare to say it was the right call, i cant be the only one.

>>51760026
I never doubted her.
I love Gura unconditionally.

>>51765588
Her actual friends and family thank you for keeping their lifestyles funded cuck

>>51761144
True

>>51764611
You can really see how much the subreddit has fallen with how little the talents interact with the overseas fanbase on there anymore.

>>51765836
so basically what gura does with her streams as well then? ok.

>>51760026
She was vtubing a long time before she had merch. And personality wise, she's not the type to worry about the future (she refuses to fix her shit diet because she thinks prolonging your life isn't worth it) so she's not interested in hoarding money. She does her job because she likes it. Her long absences and pre-existing health problems would evoke concern and compassion anywhere not mostly inhabited by dimestore basement-sociopaths.

>>51765836 (me)
The only ones who use it anymore are Kanata and Watame and that is largely thanks to Coco's influence on her genmates.

Even Kiara who is usually on top of community outreach by a standard that the rest of HoloEN can't begin to match, gave up on using the subreddit months ago.

>>51760026
The only reason she's streaming is because it's one of the few occasions she's contractually obligated to stream on. No one Cover would pass up the merch sales. She'll go back to ghosting after today.

Erm...16 streams in 250 days cuckbud

>>51760026
She literally has IBS, schizophrenia, and some kind of heart condition that causes syncope so she passes out all the time.
I'm pretty sure she has to Vtub because she can't survive otherwise. If she can't stream more than a couple times a month, imagine if she had to get another job

>>51767404
>She literally has IBS, schizophrenia, and some kind of heart condition that causes syncope so she passes out all the time.
Source; my ass

>>51760026
She loves us and our money!

>>51767534
Just because she doesn't explicitly name the condition doesn't make it less obvious. She mentioned plenty of times that she can't eat many foods because they wreck her stomach. On the backrooms stream she did after coming back from that long break she mentioned that she sees things that aren't there out of the corners of her eyes and that she hears strange noises that shouldn't be there (I literally just watched that VOD, source is 10 minutes into it). She also said she tries to talk to the hallucinations to try and calm herself when they happen. Finally, the syncope thing was mentioned in the stream when she came back and said thatr was one of the reasons she was gone and how her mom tried to get her to wear a helmet so she wouldn't hit her head when she passes out.
Sorry chummy, but your waifu is a genetic dead end that struggles to exist. At least this means she'll never leave unless they fire her (they won't)

No I don't think she came back at all. This will be a prerecorded stream with no chat interaction.

>>51767836
she also sucks down protein drinks, which are hard on the stomach and give you gas. that's right , gura is very farty with smelly protein farts. beyond that is all speculation. chumpedos hear her cough and blow it up into tuberculosis.

Damn, not even cuckbuds are hopeful that things will be different this time...

I. Love gura.

>>51768986
She doesn't love you.

>>51769028
That's okay. I love her.

>>51760026
I'll see what impression I get.

>>51767836
Ok but medication exist for all of these conditions tho

>>51768351
>>51767836
>>51767404
still no reason to not write a tweet once in a while, or better yet, have management do it.

>>51760026
Yes,

>>51760026
sadly no
there are too many retards here who still think shes not being forced to stream

>>51762159
Off topic, but how did neuro sama blow up as fast as it did? Started in december and now its arguebly in the top 5 most watched vtubers on twitch. Was neuro really the first AI vtuber? Was it the AI craze that happened at the beginning of the year?

>>51772253
>there are too many retards here who still think shes not being forced to stream
I disagree, she isn't being forced to do the bare minimum, she LOVES to do the bare minimum her contract demands of her. I fully believe this to be the case.

>>51766133
>She does her job
But she doesn't?

>>51760581
Is this AI or does this artist not know how tails work?

>>51772406
There's a very big interest in AI in general at the moment, so Neuro-sama is caught up in that trend.

>>51760189
She won't announce her graduation
Need to do the concert first after all

>>51760026
The whole thing reeks Sana pregraduation announcement.
I am 100% expecting it after the concert honestly.

>>51760057
yeah, surely

>>51781067
The situation does look similar to what happened in the months leading up to Sana's graduation but it's hard to imagine that will happen a second time. Gura would lose a dream job as one of the best known vtubers while many fans would leave holoEN.

>>51764216
>it's a mandatory stream

>>51782115
I think it will happen. You heard it here first.

>>51760026
seek help

>>51767404
>IBS, schizophrenia, and some kind of heart condition that causes syncope
How cute

>>51760026
No anon, she just need more money

>>51760026
clockwork

It's all so weird, no warm up whatsoever in the whole week, not a single stream let alone a tweet or mention, like no matter how you try to spin it obviously something isn't working correctly, be it Gura herself, managers, Cover or whatever.

I can't help but to think she was pressured into doing this.

>>51772406
she denied the holocaust and got away with it, she's the most based vchuuba around

>>51767534

I wish this wasn't true.

Very likely desu that management forced her to stream since that'd be a missed opportunity to milk chumATMs for money

Kneel

You're completely delusional. We don't even know WHAT exactly we're getting other than a stream.

If she WANTED to stream, she could have done it literally any other time without shilling merch, but she's CHOOSING to do it on a day when merch shilling WILL be a thing.

If this stream is even her idea and not Cover forcing her, we don't know.

>>51760515
They haven't, that's just morons being morons.
-They literally made a US event, that's FOR the EN audience.
- They literally have open auditions for both EN branches and management.
- They literally announced about 2-3 months "Hey, we're serious, auditions are open!"

They're growing the EN branch, period. The more likely thing is they're looking for better talents than the ones they currently have and are probably going to have a better management team with better contracts as well. The current EN girls; the majority of them are just lazy and don't treat this like the job it is. They treat it like a hobby at most, to do in their spare time.

>>51767404
So what you're telling me is she pisses herself when she passes out, and thinks someone is pissing on her.

>>51767836
You just made her sound even cuter.

>>51760026
>conveniently coming back on a massive payday
>because she loves us of course :)

>>51786032
>They're growing the EN branch, period.
Holy cope.
Either way, its a bit too little, too late.
The time to grow the branch was 2 years ago. EN vtubing is on the decline, and its even showing in HoloEN as well. Sure, EN3 would debut and they will look like they are huge - but give it a month or so and they will be getting numbers similar to what the other girls get now.

>>51782115
Sana wasn't getting a monthly passive income. Gura is, if you had her job you be doing the same shit she's doing.

A haiku for the shark:
A Shark lost at sea
Chumbuds wonder if she'll stream
It's her birthday soon
alt ending: The sheets needs changing

Reminder that her job is not to stream, that's just the most public facing aspect of it. Her job is to be an entertainer.

>>51764085
Gura is not making cover 500 millions dollars a year youre smoking a bad batch of weed that you bought from some hustler at your favela.

>>51760026
>she came back because she loves us
I've already given up, you should probably do the same if you don't want to get hurt. Though if you want to keep clinging to some small spark of hope who am I to rain on your parade?

>>>and not to shill merch
You can't be fucking serious

>>51788400
News tomorrow after no stream.

I seriously want to stone cold stunner this lazy fucking turd of a chuuba

>>51786032
I fear for a frankestein of confusing clips scraped together.

Gura is already 90% retired, only still on contract for marketing/obligations.

>>51782115
>>51783985
Gura is basically guaranteed to be the next EN graduation. But I doubt she's going to announce it before the concert

>>51767836

>ywn have the katawa shoujo shark cunny

goomba too busy becoming a mommy shark please understand.

>>51786563
At this point EN3 is... pointless.

Now, i really pity the boys but they are truly a problem, they debuff the girls collabing with and ruin the group dynamic for the others.

>>51785039
What you just described makes Japan the most based nation. So I don't see your point.

>>51787021
Dude, if cover let this shit pass they are gonna get more and more girls do the same.

>See Gura is going to stream for her birthday
>10k in the waiting room
>Chat disabled

HOLY LMAO she really hates her fanbase. I hope she crushes hopes and dreams and causes a massive spike in suicide rates in the community tonight.

>>51790756
it's disabled because of retards like you who will shit up the prechat

Bets on an emotional/mental break tonight? She clearly doesn't want to do this anymore.

>>51790735
Exactly. I've been saying this for a long ass time now. They need to fire gura to set an example.

>>51786032
>They're growing the EN branch
The time to have an American concert and debut a third group of girls was last year.
Instead the pushed out two groups of homos, had their first branch graduation, and had multiple, multi-month interruptions to regular streams...one of which is the titular biggest EN girl.

>>51790897
0% because it will be all prerecorded

chat is fucking live

chat is fucking live

Gura is going to leave after a week again, you might get a stream on July 1st and promise a stream on the 4th (patriot shark) but she'll dip out and stop giving a fuck.

Many anons predicted this back when she came back in march or whatever that she'd pretend to give a fuck in spring and then completely ghost again besides her birfday, halloween and maybe a christmas party but audio only.

Gura is only fine with streaming when she doesn't have to do it regularly, otherwise she hates it. And if I'm being real as fuck I would not bust my ass 14 hours a day or whatever her equivalent is if I knew that one big stream would get me the same amount.

>>51792047
Best stream of 2023.

>>51803462
The only stream of 2023

>>51803462
Not exactly stiff competition

>>51795672
That's why you must fill up your Gura Canisters.

>>51782115

That's implying Cover gave her a choice. They could have chosen not to renew her contract because let's be honest, they can sell merch of Gura with or without her. If she contributes nothing on the streaming end of things, there's no reason to invest in her, keep paying her a salary, or pay a manger to be in charge of her.

As the most subbed vtuber ever, they just don't need her personally anymore; Gura products will sell themselves with the sheer exposure factor. She's gotten to the point she's like Eva level; toss her face on it, it sells, no need for anything new from them.

>>51786563

You do realize that the numbers the EN girls, and guys for that matter, get are literally the top 1% in the industry right? The average stream, overall, gets under 30 views. Getting 1k literally makes you one of the best.

>>51795672

"Bust my ass 14 hours a day" what the fuck kind of shit you smoking? They're literally playing a video game for MAYBE 3 hours a day. You're really going to pretend they're doing 11 hours of extra shit behind the scenes each day? Fuck off, you're absolutely delusional. 11 hours a day of behind the scenes stuff for what? It takes 4-6 hours for a singer to record the vocals for a song. It takes 6 weeks of 2-3 days at 2-3 hours to learn a brand new dance.

For your mythical "14 hours a day" they'd have to stream every day for 3 hours, release a brand new song every day, and learn a new dance for 3d about every month - month 1/2. So where's the evidence they're so busy because it sure as fuck isn't in the content they release.

>>51804444
Hell at this point, it wouldn't be hard to imagine Cover going all in on Kubo at this point since she still fills the cunny niche. Yeah she's Indonesian but she's still plenty popular. That or just mutually agree to buyout "Gura" the character, train some AI to sing her voice, then release her covers like she's Miku. Maybe license her out to Sega so they can make a Project Diva-type game with her voice.

>>51805618
there is 0 reason to go full retard and pull a Kizuna Ai. the current situation, sad and barren as it is, is easily preferable to torching goodwill and allowing the perception the talent was mistreated or shafted in any way. cumbuds are apparently happy to show up for their bi-annual stream and buy the merch each time, it might not be infinitely sustainable but doing any AI shit would instantly drop any value tied up in Gura to 0

>>51760515
honestly, i think cover never expected EN to be big. then when they popped off, they thought they were doing fine and decided to leave them be, until they came up with that weird omega idea that they tied into irys and council that ended up never working out. then we had that month or two at the end of last year where every girl was sick and we only had bae and sick kiara streaming that i think knocked some sense into cover regarding EN. unfortunately they had probably been dragging their feet on EN auditions rejecting everyone who wasn't genetically engineered to be the perfect vtuber. now we're stuck with a late gen 3 and what feels like a stunted branch.

>>51763025
This.
Wow, what a weird coincidence Gura finally found the motivation to stream right on her birthday.

>>51760026
Yes.
Though I don't think she wanted to shill the merch either, for what it's worth.

>>51804706
numberfag board, puresu andastand
realistically, anyone who consistently gets over 200 views is a top tier streamer
