>>55531264You know, I think collabing with flash flashtubers was one of the best long term decisions that Vedal had, not because it exposed Neuro to a wider audience, or because it helped vary the streams, but because it solidified Neuro's place in the vtuber community (as a part of it that is accepted by it's members). I believe anti-AI sentiment will become more widespread in the future, and if Neuro had stayed isolated, she would have inevitably be brought out of that isolation eventually somehow, probably in a forceful and unfavorable manner. Like, there's no such thing as perpetual isolation, a country that closes itself to the world will eventually be forcefully brought out of it. Even in physics an object in motion will stay in motion until being brought out of it, etc. A while ago we had some people getting mad at Neuro merch, but because Neuro is well liked by vtubers it ended up being a nothingburger. I feel like stuff like that will happen again in the future.
