>>107664533If we look at this historically, this is a totally bizarre psychological phenomenon caused by the democratization of creative tools, but we don't even see it in other hobbies/professions with low starting costs.
A local player in his beer league who plays baseball on the weekends isn't depressed because he's not Shohei Ohtani. So why does some random, boring, probably not bright or brilliant, probably not charismatic woman get depressed when she's not as popular as a Holo or other major vtuber? In most fields of endeavor, people don't get depressed because they aren't at the pinnacle after starting like 2 months ago.
Just because you can buy a tennis racket doesn't make you Federer and nobody gets depressed when it doesn't, so why would turning on a $200 webcam and vtuber studio turn you into a celebrity? There's some sort of very serious mental error happening here.
