Vtuber now are just a pale comparative to the golden era vtubers, EOP faggots will never understand this, because they got feed with the inferior product that is called holoEN.
The first Vtuber like Kizuna Ai or the four heavenly kings, even Eilene were trailblazers, people so unique and creative, that they could stand alone and still create a sub culture that stand to this day.
Then Nijisanji appeared which added the streamer part to vtuber that still is strongly associated with vtubers, after nijisanji appeared .Live that added the Idol part to the vtuber streamer concept, that was the silver age, when hololive was still in diapers.
.Live had problems because of some greedy streamers and internal problems, that's when hololive gained momentum, they just captured the audience of .Live but they added the part to pander to foreign audiences, because at the time the local market was dominated by Nijisanji.
Hololive peaked at gen 4, and that was the copper age, when they started to do cabaret fanservice and reading superchats, but because they got so popular, they engraved the idea that a vtuber = streamer + idol + cabaret/host actitude.
Now we have a fucking chimera know as "vtubers" that aren't different from twitch whores, because they distorted the concept of vtubers to adapt to the english audience, all this was the work of hololive.
Now the person behind the avatar, is the same as the vtuber.
Vtuber=streamer, to the point that they aren't different from the regular streamer
