What books have you read lately than you think help you understand the vtuber condition? Aside from the chart some anon made once, I sincerely think Anatole France's Thais is genuinely one of the best if not the best exploration of the vtuber-viewer-anti dynamics. Marcel Proust's In Search of the Lost Time is, given the attention it devotes to art & artists, jealousy & cuckolding, and homosexuality and homosexual relationships a surprisingly helpful way of navigating the weird waters of /vt/. Franz Kafka's Josephine the Singer; or the Folk of the Mice is also a very good short story on the topic of idols and oshi culture.
