>>64164294You've literally gotten every detail wrong since you started shitposting in this thread. You haven't posted a single fucking thing supported by any amount of examples or evidence. The one time you did you were blown the fuck out.
Stop pretending you're an oldfag that's been into vtubers before 2020. You aren't and you haven't.
And the shit you're saying doesn't even make sense. There were no companies that were the size of niji by 2019 other than upd8, but they weren't organized the same way at all and they weren't dead by the time niji or holo started in 2017. Saying that nijisanji and hololive got all their fans from some other companies that imploded is impossible considering they became bigger than any of the previous companies that existed in the past by 2020.
Modern vtubing is arguably very much the streaming meta like I said in the history post. And nijisanji vtubers were the first ones to popularize that by any large amount of success. Before that, most vtubers were making video content and streaming was rare.
You don't seem to know anything you're talking about regarding any of this and you're trying to frame things in the broadest terms possible in order to include smaller vtubers or even pngtubers that had no where near the popularity of the big ones that actually affected the culture of the time. You haven't been able to support a single thing you're saying and when called out on that, all you do is resort to insults. You have fucking nothing.
Here's an old video made by someone that agreed with your expanded definition of a vtuber and shows a timelapse of the evolution of the industry.
