>>63836803I can hardly blame other vtubers for not handling Neuro well, she can be hard to handle, not to mention that she's very random. In most collabs there's those periods of awkwardness, usually at the start, where her partners simply don't know how to approach her because she either shots them down or just lives her own life. From my understanding, most vtubers, especially indie ones, don't have any knowledge in art of entertainment, they simply picked up one way to interact with their viewers and roll with it. Making Neuro work requires either a specific personality or a fair share of creativity.
I think that the cardinal problem of Neuro is how Vedal tries to sell her. He wants to see her as a separate, self-sufficient entity, but at the same time acknowledges that she just can't do much by herself and he has to do a lot of shit by hand, so we're stuck in a limbo where she's not given the freedom to be entertaining by herself, but also not given proper tools for the situation.
Due to her limitations, Neuro requires more considerate approach, you can't just throw her at someone saying "Go, entertain" and expect her to work. It requires some effort from both parties, from Vedal to properly explain how to handle Neuro, and from the partner to have some patience and attention to pick up her openings. Most collabs become gradually more interesting as people get more familiar with her, though unfortunately that usually happens towards the end, and we had very few reruns.
All in all, Neuro at her current state is still very far away from matching human streamers in terms of capabilities, and judging by Vedal's progress, we're not getting any closer any time soon. There are more grounded ways to go with Neuro that require some creative approach, kinda like what Snuffy and Filian did, but unfortunately Vedal doesn't care to explore this side of things and would rather do his own projects he never finishes.
