>>13076996I think nearly all Vtubers dislike or are impartial to their "fans", some hate. I think it's entirely possible for low views to like their viewers. But "viewers" and "fans" are differnet. When I watch a 20-200 view twitch streamer, their viewers are people and individuals. As viewers, they are actual people, who interact with the streamer, and aren't in any weird relationship with them, they're just some generally pleasant people you meet and you talk to them back.
The relationship of "fans" is different, fans are subordinate and defined by their like/love for the Vtuber; and the Vtuber often has to keep up parasocial relationships with them, and it falls outside of just the idea of treating them as actual people that are watching in a chat room. The larger the community develops, the less the individual, the less the human appears, and the more they exist purely as "fans" and are defined by their common noise. With fans being socially inept or children, with their only actions being "fans" in a relationship to you and not just normal humans talking to you, it becomes easy to resent them. Especially because they start to as fans talk for you, keep talking about you, start to define themselves with you, and make a bunch of demands/stress on you as the Vtuber. Some people are like this and dislike their fans. Other people love their fans and the attention. It depends on the person, but I can't imagine most well adjusted people liking their "fans".
It's much better for the streamer who just have viewers they treat as regular people, and not "fans".
