In reference to 4chan it already has. The first real instance of Western vtubing on 4chan was kizuna ai. The false ai vtuber. Western vtubing was built on a paper foundation. It's collapsed many times over by now. One of the greatest falters was hachama normalizing hand cam streams which encouraged fans to simply use vtubing as a credit check to show that you had money enough, or connections enough to afford a new iPhone that can run vtubing studio. Not much different than ancient Roman politicians having a house slave to show they had status even if they had no need for one. Vtubing has for mBt lost any meaning. It's a empty industry that stands for nothing. It was over the moment it became a mark of status. The only true salvation for vtubing would be for a guild to form, and open vtubing theaters that screen talents for authenticity, and allow them to perform if they pass the screening. That way you can differentiate between who holds true to the shadow puppet theater ancestors of vtubing in Asia, the Pacific, and ancient Europe, and who is simply trying to build up enough cred to be the next Epstein, or p-diddy.
Who has their heart in it, and who is simply here for the free meet up orgies, and creepy discord parties with fans taken out from twitch, and moved off site to where nobody without a password can see, or regulate what happens.
Right now there's no means to identify between a honest showman, and a conman, or woman who simply wants to fleece you, and leave you out cold like poor Bianca Devin's, or whoever else may have fallen pray to the online discord meet up society.
