>>108947941Real talk there are two types: newstubers and dramatubers. Newstubers will report large obvious events or news that affect a fandom and will stick close to the facts as possible. Dramatubers go for clicks and engagement bait. They want the hottest stuff that sells and they rely on an angle for their audience. Pic related guy is neither and fits more into commentary, they give their takes on what interests them and there is a less expectation of a standard.
Where you run into trouble I think are when the newstubers or dramatubers either get involved with the story themselves (think Rev with Off Kai 2024) or when they have bias to the point of over reporting certain groups or under reporting other groups--even sweeping troublesome stories for the people they like. The vtuber scene, in my opinion, has a mix of these good and bad types of news and dramatubers right now.
>why do we even have these people?ANY fanbase large enough will have people either on twitter or youtube reporting or following the events of that interest. Star Wars has loads of people talking and making videos about the state of it.
