VTubing has become a parasitic industry where the goal is extract as much money as possible from lonely people while keeping them lonely and miserable with parasocial relationships that are ultimately unfulfilling.

As a tangent fuck any fucking retard streamer whose advice to someone who asks for it is "just enjoy what you do don't think about the money". Yeah easy for you to fucking say, moneybags. Fuck you I NEED TO GET PAID, BITCH.

>> No.2788361

Vtubers are like a pretty good SOL anime where every minor background character happens to have a 6 season series for their backstory.

It's also pretty obvious that if they really wanted to some of the EN girls could milk a ton more money out of their fanbases with minimal effort.

But it's ultimately the best advice they can give you. For the very large majority, successful youtubers and streamers were people who stuck to it for years, slowly building up a loyal follower base until they had enough visibility to ping the algorithm and appearing in the trends.

Streaming is an endless grind, even after you make it, so the one thing you need is to actually enjoy the content you produce, because you won't see the money for years. Bitch.

It is true, the industry exploits loneliness.
The loneliness is a symptom of other problems, however. Lonely people would remain lonely with or without this industry.
They would engage in unhealthy habits regardless.

Until they start pulling shit like NFTs and Onlyfans, then they aren't as bad as other mediums.

Memberships maybe, but superchats are just donations (and while donating money to people is retarded, it's optional) and nothing is locked behind them.
