>>91797896>>91797922nobody got into this hobby by watching vods or because you came across a vod or clip - you got invested and stayed because of the streams being live. Prepared content like Kizuna Ai would have never taken off to the degree live vtubing has. This is the absolute truth.
(You) are here because of the excitement of seeing a stream live - you just settled for not watching it live afterwards after you had forgotten the original feeling and appeal. Some of us never forgot that feeling, due to autism, sheer loneliness or whatever else. Some of us refuse to ever watch a vod even if it means we never see the stream we missed, purely because it isn't live and therefore isn't authentic and real.
