/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

because she's funny and cute. so yes.

>same shit bait made by a no brain faggot

>>5424125
She earned it fair and square, not much I can say

>>5424125
The West RUNS the vtuber scene!

The youtube algorithm shined down upon her.

roommate
holoJP popularity, clout and ads
the cunny model, most men are closed lolicon
and the one that cumcums won't ever accept, viewbots,tho all of myth are guilty of this

she's actually boring and unremarkable but that's ok, when you want great food you don't go to a McD

What happened to her tail?

>Received happy birthday message from Dante, Vergil and Arthur Morgan
Shark is sure popular

>>5424125
ok, since this is bait, i'll bite it like a good membershrimp.

1) her roomate was famous on the tube long before gura's debut, she knows internet and meme culture; there is a reason she's called a meme queen around here. this was and probably still is here main social media site. Her roommate is a creature raised on /a/ and likely /b/ as well.

2) her roomate has been youtubing since she was in 9th grade. that first channel was moderately successful as well, she still has dedicated fans for it. This is a girl who knows how to make content people will watch and how youtube works.

3) her roomate's knowledge of memes and meme culture in hand Gura's launch was perfect. Not only did she amuse people with her memes, not only was her design cute, but then she sang. And man did she blow the doors off everyone's minds. It was the contrast. here was this adorible little meme girl, who can sing like a professional singer. it snagged everyone's attention.

4) she appeals to teens and likely due to the music choices in those first streams, their parents too. this is a girl who found a way to get parental approval for kids shrimping.

5) she's rather entertaining, obviously she grew up watching pewdiepie and learned how streaming games works. her roomates dabbling in it on twitch only cemented in her mind what worked and what didn't before her youtube debut.

6) the beerbug trapped everyone inside watching the internet for entertainment in 2020; gura was entertainment kids and parents could and did watch together. Her lewd sense of humor just veiled enough as to be funny to the older audiences without being lewd to the kids hearing them (much like a Disney movie)

7) she loves to sing Disney princess songs. you can't tell me this isn't knowing your audience.

8) her lewd/off color meme sense of humor is so sharp and on point it amuses older audiences immensely; preventing her from being a kids channel entirely. yes she has a young audience but she also has an adult audience. this is a line no one else in hololive has really managed to do, except for maybe korone and pekora (both of whom try to keep their content very seiso; while entertaining to all age groups, still i suspect both of their audiences are still older then guras... korone plays boomer games, and pekora is a bit... strange for kids)

9) she loves her audience, something that comes through loud and clear; this is audience interaction a lot of talents struggle to manage.

10) she's never mean. I don't know how she manages to do this, but listen to her content again. she can't even poke fun at people i suppose a lot of people poke fun at. the meanest she'll get is calling someone "stupid" and that's typically directed at a game character not someone else. Yet she manages to be playful with the membershrimp and bit back without being mean about it. Its hard to explain how nice it is to listen to someone's content who's not raging at the world or someone else all the time. I suspect this is in part why vtubers in general have taken off, but still it's a big reason why she's fun to watch

11) I suspect she has a sign hanging up where she can see it, that reads something like "always leave them smiling", gura seems to make it her goal to make her chat HAPPY, and to leave them feeling HAPPY. no matter what might be going on, how nervous she feels how ill she might be, she does her best to make the audience feel happy, and that is something I think reaches through the internet to everyone who watches her.

>>5424125
Because of the work of her JP predecesors and Covid.
Yes.

THEY ARE

Her debut week
>"a" tweet
>First thing she says it's "a"
>Has a meme before even starting. Haha funny shark says "a". Everyone talks about that
>No one knows if IT'S HER or IT'S NOT HER
>Awkward debut but leaves everyone speechless with her singing
>Meme Maneater stream that serves as a nice low.(Not everything can be highs)
>Surpasses all expectations with M*se D*sh and Karaoke the same week

That week gave her Youtube algorythm's blessing. She did everything right.

>>5425426
Being serious, without the Maneater stream, the Muse Dash stream wouldn't have hit as hard. Everyone was floored.

>>5424125
memes and no

>>5425367
She can't sing. MATSURI outclassed her on a fucking song, and she's not even a great singer.

>>5425426
>No one knows if IT'S HER or IT'S NOT HER
Talk for yourself. Her very first thumbnail is a deliberate dog whistle reference to the Country Road thumbnail of Senzawa.

Gura does subtle dog whistles like this all the time, like the "googoo gaga" text hidden in the thumbnail to subtly diss the ethot who criticized her.
http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/8uTpzi1f3Tc/maxresdefault.jpg

Or when she uses the "wow cute" and "big funny" badges in her outfit reveal. Most people don't know she just made a reference, but people who know, will know. After all, she was a meme queen in her past life.

>>5425721
>meme queen
you mean literal trash tier songs and toddler humor? no.

>>5424125
Bro, she’s a SHARK that plays the ukulele. How fucking COOL is that shit?

>>5424125
the normies probably recognized her voice from the famous tiktok video Ok boomer dancing neekolul

Trash Taste has more subs than they do, in case people forgot how insignificant subs actually are, or if they are indicative of quality.

>>5425426
>"a" tweet
>First thing she says it's "a"
>Has a meme before even starting. Haha funny shark says "a". Everyone talks about that
Literally just this, nothing else mattered, she became a meme minute 1 and that propelled her into the point where she can grow by doing whatever, the loli design helped too since she was the most subbed first day

>>5425790
Neeko is obnoxious but I’d fuck the absolute shit out of her.

>>5425709
If you are referring to Matsuri collab with Gura, just remember Live Gura singing Sorairo days so beats both recorded Gura and Matsuri hands down.
https://youtu.be/Jqg79Ypt0Yg

Similarly, live Gura singing Country Roads is miles better than recorded Gura singing it with HoloEN.
https://youtu.be/L77WpA6a_jA

In fact, those are two good examples of how important mixing is. People rarely appreciate the audio processing behind the scenes.

>>5425816

>>5424789
Holy shit! Touch some grass incel!

>>5425955
funny you say that. married 15 years, with 3 kids. the youngest is how I became a gura fan. (and yes, I was on /a/ for years)

>>5425955
>Touch some grass
forced meme, the guy telling you to get sober or calling you "this is your brain on meds" is way funnier.

Here's a logical one.

>>5424789
I agree with 10 and 11 she is a bundle of joy and always leaves me in a positive state of mind after watching her

>>5426100
Do you and your family watch gura's streams together?

>>5425955
Holy shit! Go back to Twitter femoid!

>>5424125
In short, too family friendly.

She attracts normies and kids, that most of them only watch Gura, and Gura only.

>>5426979
>too family friendly
Oh I missed this timeloop

>>5425721
It's HER

>>5424125
Did OJ do it?

>>5426100

>>5424551
The attacks by the hammerhead octaroon also raised her profile early on.

>>5425935
The autotune was necessary to cover up Ina’s unctuous, greasy caterwauling.

>>5424125
>How the fuck did she get so famous?
Where the fuck have you been these past 8 months or so?

>>5424125
>How the fuck did she get so famous?
Same as Korone or Mirai, arguably; near 1:1 match of model and personality/persona. Other chubers either outright ignore their model (Coco), others halfass it (Ina), others play up the contrast (Calli) and all have (often smashing) success with it, but the shark's everything blends so *perfectly* into one another you truly feel like you're watching a 2D girl come to live.

She might not be the "best" vtuber, but she is effectively one of the most ideal, in the sense that she's one of the best at embodying the keyfabe that vtubing entails.

That's arguably a MAJOR advantage beyond the organizational & monetary that management companies have over indies; Right from the outset you have half a dozen eyes on the question as to how to match face to personality, which can oftentimes yield better results than if it is simply pondered within a close (often online) friend circle.

>>5424741
Dr Domeier added: “Male sharks bite the head, flank or pectoral fin of females during the mating ritual, but certainly these sharks are biting each other out of aggression as well. Males may be battling it out for access to females or preferred hunting grounds. While the females return to mate every two years, the males only return every other year. When they’re not mating, both males and females may range as far afield as the waters off Hawaii.”

>her lewd/off color meme sense of humor is so sharp and on point it amuses older audiences immensely
I mean, Gura is pedo bait, of course older guys like her.

>>5426100
>funny you say that. married 15 years, with 3 kids.
Wow you're fucking a tranny for 15 years and even adopted 3 other trannys. Good job faggot

A lot of really viral clips during the first month with "A", Ride on Time and others that got millions of views.

>>5428045
Hey now she's getting a song too and I can't wait to see how it turns out, out of morbid curiosity.

>>5424125
>Is it deserved?
I fucking LOVE this kind of bait and I will bite every single fucking time and savor the taste.
Yes, it's deserved. Gura probably is the most experienced entertainer in Hololive, doing a variety of stuff. She's skilled at singing and has very deep meme pockets.
The fact that she's intentionally mogging herself by using only a fraction of her potential is even more outstanding. She could easily hit 5m subscribers if she wanted, but it's obvious she doesn't care about the numbers and doesn't want to be the biggest.

>>5428713
Good thing she’s a talented artist in her day job.

>>5424789
I hadn't really thought about it before, but I think 11 is pretty important. It's quite common for her to apologise if the tone of the stream dips even slightly, because she thinks it's her job to make her audience happy. This is totally at odds with a pretty common belief in western streaming that the audience can go fuck themselves and the streamer always comes first. White knights and simps constantly assert that the audience having any kind of expectations or standards is "entitlement", but gura undermines that by striving to live up to her audience's expectations, unlike some of her gen mates.

>>5424125
She deserves everything and more.

>>5428627
Wow, this post is bad.

>>5424923
Astel is gay

Mostly pedos and kids. She's literally the PewDePie of Vtubers.

>>5429887

She's white

By people making memes and her character design that’s pretty much it everything else is pretty boring/plain desu.

>>5424125
She has the cutest voice. Even the nips love her because of her voice.

>>5428428

>>5424789
I won't comment on roommate points, but she is genuinely nice to her viewers and seems to read their comments a lot.
the regular viewers are legit nearly all young adult men, though. Their taste in games, movies, music, playful semi-seiso girls, and their general high energy exuberance screams boyish 20-somethings.

>>5424125
she's good at what she does. it's earned.

>>5424125
her previous account had nearly a million subs before she was "gura"

>>5441705

>>5424125
She knows what she's doing, there are plenty of loli voced chubas with loli avatars, they act from super sweet and innocent to totally depraved, but gura found the perfect balance.

>>5428428
I honestly think she wanted to have an injury but not on her face and she thought the tail was the coolest. Like how to train your dragon or something

>>5424125
Because nobody markets to lolicons in the West and now they realize how big the market is

>>5424789
>she appeals to teens and likely due to the music choices in those first streams, their parents too. this is a girl who found a way to get parental approval for kids shrimping.
You have to be so out of touch to believe this

>>5458859
No, it's Korone. Pekora is the pink right under her, Then Mori and Fubuki after that. Marine is the orange line that's kind of by itself, and then Aqua, and Coco, with Ame just a little below them but pretty much in the same spot. I'm guessing Coco is that purple line with the massive jump that probably came from her graduation announcement.

>>5424125
She's smol

Gura is popular because she has the best voice to listen to and stays in character at all times.
and everyone loves lolis

>>5460245
I kinda feel bad for all the other hololive girls. I dunno how badly Gura wanted to be an "idol" but by comparison it's as if she effortlessly destroyed the competition. All's fair in the entertainment industry I suppose.

>>5424125
Her numbers finally stagnated, 3m never.
Expect EN2 soon.

>>5424125
lots of reasons:
- not a big fan of her but her model and voice fit perfectly and are super cute.
- also her singing is awesome considering that it is not her normal voice
- she also had the fastest grow from the start thanks to her old fans -> thus the youtube algorithm pushed her very fast and keeps pushing her
- she is playing mainly the big selling games
- provides for mass taste
- fear of missing out might also be a reason for some to watch her
- and for some people its like with sports: you want to be a fan of the best and not just someone

>>5424125
loli design, first impressions are everything and she was out preforming the rest of her gen before the debut streams even started.

ironic shitposters say pedophile this, pedophile that. but all men are lolicons from the moment they are born.

Are herm ain fans really little kids? I thought it was all 13-40 year old lolicons and gura was a lolicon too.
She's just doing it for the kids?

>>5424789
>roomate
What is this bullshit?
Are people this mad about Guras past that they split her into two?

>>5424789
Gura must really appeal to zoomers. It's true that the girl is a real sweetheart, but I find her content truly boring. Which is a shame, because she was the one that I was probably most excited for pre-debut.

>>5462856
>mad
Give me a quick rundown on why anyone would be mad

>>5462967
No idea. Hence why I'm asking why someone would be mad without it being about abandonment issues.

>>5424125
YouTube algorithm was heavily exploitable(see the spiffing Brits video on the community exploit) by those in the know, she was an experienced in streaming prior to this, plus the big name of hololive. Easy Fast Track to the top.

>>5461879
EN1's success makes me wonder if EN2 will be doa or doing good at least out the gate just because they can ride on EN1's coattails for a while.

>>5464088
They'll do good in terms of subs as long as no major yabs happen, that much is guarenteed at this point. If we're talking how good, I just hope cover isn't expecting another Gura situation to just appear; she's the definition of lightning in a bottle, and neither cover nor any other part of the vtuber industry should expect someone to reach that level of subs and views anytime soon, if ever.

>>5463256
>she was an experienced in streaming prior to this
can you tell me how often she stream in her senzawa time

>>5425721
>meme queen

Because she was a previous famous vtuber who knows how to play the youtube game and how to win the hearts of zoomers with memes.

>>5424153
also this

>>5453397
Ninja did the same thing on Twitch. Right person, right place, right time. These things happen.

>>5425742
bro she created the boomer meme. The biggest meme of the past few years. How many people can take credit for such accomplishments? Her shitty boomer song literally turned a worthless Mexican e-thot into a millionaire.

>>5465455
While pic related is true, the meme queen thing is true too. She, dakooters and Nyanners were known among the 2018 newfags and normalfags.

Gura is talented and charismatic.

>>5425955
Neonazi egg is buttmad

It helps she gets all the free advertising from reddit too since they reached the front page with her a bunch of times. But it does suck that the hololive mod made a mod post regarding the original song, something they've never done for other talent's original songs (unless the talents post it on reddit themselves).

Is her main fanbase really just kids? Do I have a complete warped perception of what Gura really is?

>>5424125

Amazingly beautiful unique voice, incredible singer, complex and interesting personality, adorable and sweet and emotional, meme savvy internet gremlin, lolicon appeal, standout design, experienced with gaming the youtube algorithm, hikkineet autism makes you want to protect and her and appeals to saviourfags, all of her flaws are the kind that make her more endearing, earnestly a fan of idol culture... she's just the perfect storm.

Is it deserved? That's a much deeper question than you actually understand. Do people deserve to be loved for what they naturally are, or only what they do? Where does the first one end and the next begin? No one here can answer that, certainly not any of you spergs.

>>5483143
Last year Fubuki was called meme queen.

Gura was a memelord before hololive, she knows what the internet likes and used it to her advantage to gain an initial following.
She's also a great singer and UOHHH worthy, that keeps the fans and supas rolling.

You can argue that she might deserve it or not, but no one can deny that she's the smartest holo.
That's literally it.

the only smart thing she did was play the loli card because degenerates love it

>>5424125
She had a great debut and debut run-up, subtely made fun of some vtuber-vs-streamer controversy in a smart way, a design that was beloved both by middle-school teens and 4chan pedos, and after her debut almost exclusively streamed popular games, rhythm games (which she's good at) and horror titles. I'm not a huge fan but yeah, she did well to attract a huge fanbase.

She had extremely good timing early on,while I find her the least entertaining of the bunch ,such a ridicululous streak of very very good moves in the most decisive possible time makes me think its all deserved

"Deserve" doesn't mean much as far as subscribers are concerned.

>deserved?
yes

well of course gura deserves the popularity. she's amazing

Did you hear the lyrics to her new song? How is she so smart, lads?

No she absolutely does not.
Prove that hard work means fuck all, just get lucky.

gura is the spongebob of vtubers she can be kid friendly but also keep adults entertained

She was a known youtuber before and nearly everyone knew that and jumped from a big ship to another which made hype around her which boosted the numbers again

Hardworks definitely matters but only to certain points. After that you’ll need luck. The world is not RPG that the one with most level always win.

Kek, you faggots can keep denying her success. She isn't just all kiddy, Gura knows the Internet landscape very well, and by that alone, she deserves all the sucess that she have.

No one deserves anything, things just happen
