>>7304062Petra's problem is simply that she's a bad streamer. Trust me, I really WANT to like her but it's a pain to go through her streams. She has so many things that tick off my boxes in what I want from a vtuber. She tries to engage with both the EN and JP audiences (I don't mind this because I can understand Japanese) while also providing translations so that EOPs don't get lost. She has a top tier cute design and a voice that fits it well. She has unique tastes (I don't mind her being a yumejoshi) and I respect her for not trying to appease everyone else's pleb tastes by regurgitating Hololive memes and such. These are all aspects I really like about her.
I just get so bored watching her because she doesn't have a good streaming personality. She doesn't carry solo streams because she has no charm. She's not witty and funny like Selen. She doesn't have the comfy feel of a good low-energy VTuber either. It just goes to show that pure streaming skill and the ability to keep an audience listening by simply talking is a very important part of streaming, even more so than tastes in entertainment or language ability or gaming/singing talent. I'd rather tune into Emma's zatsudans instead of Petra's.
