https://voca.ro/15o9CWui8hSSIt's 22 minutes long, but here is a clarification, which I feel like I owe after being too vague about this thing when I wanted to rant... I do not think most of the people complaining are baiting, but just worried, so I hope this helps. Even if they are baiting, it's fine too?
Summary:
- I brought up the model as a response to someone guessing I would change my model, in other words, as a hypothetical scenario, that I spoke about because everyone else was just saying "You have a bf"
- If I hated my fanbase, I would not be streaming as much, or even rambling in a Twitter Space, because I just wouldn't want to be around or put in effort for people I hate. I trust my fans enough to tell them about my worries, goals, and things like that.
- The real life opportunity is similar to what many people have been guessing. Due to not wanting to get doxxed, I can't say when will the auditions open, but I really am preparing to go all in for it. That's why I said it could be life changing.
- The thing I wanted to change was getting nice custom stream things made by pros, instead of taking from other places and DIYing everything. I was worried people would be upset because technically I can do it myself, and the money would come from donations. I want cute stuff, which you probably don't think is necessary, so I said it was selfish. The wheelbarrow comment was because if people have already gotten used to me only spending on "worthy" items, they would think of me as more selfish if I bought things that are for the stream, but really for my own enjoyment.
- In terms of roadmap, I plan to grind out Twitch affiliate, then go back to targetting Youtube streaming and watchhours. Maybe I'll use Twitch for guerilla streaming or endurance games, but I plan to mostly play comfy games and conduct scheduled streams anyway on Youtube. By the end of the year, aside from reaching monetisation requirements, I'd also like to release a cover with the new mic. I don't know if the time is too tight, but that's what I want to do. Even though Vtubing is in the space between hobby and job, I still like it nonetheless.
- I will hold a board meeting with anonymised Google Forms to submit questions beforehand, in order to talk about my plans at length.
Thank you for reading through this, and if you did have any real concerns, I hope I could assuage some. I'll post something on Twitter after posting this, I probably will not reply to other posts, but I'll read it!
