What is /asp/?
A thread where we discuss our vtuber aspirations! Where it's agency-based or independent, let's help each other grow and make it as entertainers. Indies are welcome to join, but shill responsibility. Share what knowledge, insights, what works/doesn't work for you.

FAQ:
Do I need an expensive, fully rigged Live2D model to be a vtuber?
No! You can always start out as a pngtuber!

Where can I learn how to Live2D rig avatars?
Check out Brian Tsui's (of Iron Vertex) YouTube channel!

Where can I find artists/riggers?
Skeb.jp, ArtStation, DeviantArt, Twitter, Reddit, etc.

So about PRISM. They're on their first gen and their first talent only debuted 2 months ago? Top talent has 11k subs. Not to snuff something that's pretty fucking good for an indie, do you think it's worth it to tether yourself to an unknown company that's just mass hiring people?

I haven't designed my character yet and I was wondering about how people generally go about choosing a fitting concept to your voice and personality. I look at the previous Vtuber incarnations of a bunch of Hololive girls (such as Ame, Gura, and Polka) and it always jumps out at me how much better their current characters and designs fit them than their predebut ones. And it's not just a matter of quality of the art/rig, but the theming and everything. Like Polka's adaptable and chaotic personality fits extremely well into a clown/ringmaster model, but she probably would've been unlikely to decide that kind of thing by herself. When you're part of a company, there are pros who will work with you and provide an objective evaluation of you to help fit you with a character, but when you're doing it by yourself it's easy to make a character that you like but doesn't necessarily fit you. Should I ask friends what kind of archetype they'd assign me? Or people on /asp/ with a vocaroo clip?

What was I looked at my interests, aesthetical and hobbies, and chose a theme from there. Of course it's a wild simplification of designing a full character but it's where I started.

I spent about a half a month looking at pinterest stuff, both good general character designs, good vtuber designs, and anime-like art that fit an asethetic style that I personally liked. Then about half a month going through different design iterations, combination of clothes and colors, and getting feedback from friends with both looks and concept until I got something I like. Still not entirely sold, but it took a bit of work.

I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted but it took me a while to put it into words of how I wanted it to be put together. I suggest trying a mood board where you can assemble pictures and put comments on them. with that, the artist I hired pretty much got 90 percent of what I wanted in the first draft.

the hardest part is the art, however you can make a avatar with a mouse and patience using curves on a pirated copy of photoshop or whatever
use those AI sites that make anime girls/boys as a guide then go and trace over them with curves, paint, then cut and rig them
l2d is free for 2 months IIRC and you can use the old version for more time if you need
that's if you don't want to spend a single dime, if you look around you can find cheap artists

>l2d is free for 2 months
Live2D Cubism on first install always asks full version trial and free version.
If you just start with the free version you get the free version for the current program load.
You can start the trial version anytime you want after restarting the program and then after this you get the 40+ days time limit, if you don't by the subscription till the the limit reached the last day, you get back to free version.
Whatever art skills that anon has, I can surely say without being insulting here that the free version gives enough options to do a model fitting their standards. Anyone who can afford the subscription and has actually an use for it, earns already hundreds to thousands of dollars monthly by doing commissions anyway.

Choose youre best sounding voice. The most phonetic one you can produce. It doesnt matter if its a made up voice or your natural voice. Just go with your best sounding one please.

For now, dont worry if the voice doesn't match the avatar because you can always update design in the future.

So a week ago or so, I through out some ideas for my Vtuber idea, got some good feedback. Primarily what the main design should be, which was between a Librarian or a scientist, and both has somewhat meh results.

Thinking it over and talking to friends my most recent idea for character design theme is a AI. I plan on being a Lore vtuber, explaining the lore and settings of games I play.

So I introduce the idea of W.I.S.E. or the Wide Internet Search Entity. An AI(vtuber) designed to explore Wikis, 4chan, reddit and more to develop an understanding of fictional worlds, and share that knowledge with a broad audience.

Thoughts on that current concept? Visually I have no clue where to go with it yet, but gotta start somewhere.

Have you fleshed the location out so that it's an actual fictional place? If you didn't knew there is for example the fictional version of the library of Alexandria, SCP-4001, it's an infinite space that records only human lives with all events from birth to death. New books appear when someone is born. Books of dead do not, their story is just finished. The more creative aspect of this SCP is that anyone who breaks into that place can just pick up a book of a living human or even themselves and can add or delete things from the books with a pen. If someone brings an empty book, writes a made-up birth and puts it in an active shelf, they even can create humans that never existed.
Since you do Akashic Records, that should include books about all living things if you go for a library setting, maybe you could copy some ideas for your lore there.

I mean you both have a point. Vtuber or not, if you are on YouTube, the goal is to make content, and without it you have nothing to show for the money spent on equipment and the like. On the other hand, a part of the appeal of Vtubers is the kayfabe and unique approach the creator might take.

If you're trying to be a vtuber, the character is only in service of a better streaming experience or some kind of charm point to draw people in. Almost no one actually cares that much about the lore and certainly won't care if you're not actually streaming or being interesting. My understanding is that this thread is about becoming a successful streamer in the vtuber genre, not LARPing your OC.

if you're struggling to start, pick a concept you think might fit you and start streaming. you'll understand more about yourself and be able to customize as you go. that might be a big reason why gura and ame feel so well developed. they've already demonstrated how they act on stream and can be designed perfectly. nobody acts the same way they do on stream as they do alone, or even with other people irl

Ame and Gura had a lot of help from Cover when developing their current personas, and it wasn't a gradual growing process from their previous personas considering they completely dropped them for new ones. Gura used to be way more crude and had a serious potty mouth and Ame was more rough around the edges, and neither had particularly good or well-fitting models before debut. I would say Ame and Gura are proof that your character/model are extremely important to getting you more exposure and how well your personality and voice meshes with the character is what gets people to stay. Therefore it's worth investing more time on developing a strong character/concept before jumping into commissioning artwork, as your character will be the main figurehead of the brand you're building.

you first talk about Ame and Gura's pre-debut personalities. and then try to relate that to their character design? the fuck? no, stop coming up with bullshit excuses to procrastinate and delay content creation. why the fuck are anons suggesting each other to "invest more time" to "develop" a character when none of you have even done a stream yet.

no one cares about the character. no viewer is ever going to hop into your stream and ask to see your character's biography. this is literal vtweeter shit. stop focusing on shit that doesn't matter as a streamer and start focusing on the shit that does.

This is one of those things that sounds like tough-love "good advice" but is actually terrible. Vtubing is incredibly saturated right now. Taking the time to figure out
>exactly who you are as a streamer now
>your concrete goals for where you want to end up
>what you individually offer an audience, and therefore what experience they will expect from you
and so on is incredibly important for establishing an identity. There are thousands of neon catgirls and succubi who started streaming Among Us but have nothing interesting to say and no viewers as a result.

Absolutely, do not fall into the exclusive Vtweeter hole. Absolutely test and experiment with the nuts and bolts of streaming as soon into the process that is feasible for your schedule, equipment and budget. But also take the time to figure out who and what you are, even if it ends up changing in the process. If you're a librarian, the audience is going to expect a different experience/atmosphere than if you're a military general, even if both are playing the same grand strategy game.

Think of it as drawing the anatomy underneath billowy clothing. The audience isn't going to see it, and it might feel like a waste since you're going to color the clothes over it, but it'll avoid costly redlining corrections in the future.

this is bullshit kayfabe anon. vtubing allows you to reincarnate. you can pngtuber right now, get your reps in, figure out what content you're best at and reincarnate as something new. that's a lot harder to do with a face cam streamer because your identity is basically locked to that. stop trying to tell anons that they need to make their characters perfect before starting. perfection is impossible to achieve and it's bad.

It's not about perfection. It's about doing the fundamentals. What makes vtubing different from conventional streaming? The character. So you should at least put in the effort to make sure that character is a) compelling and b) something that plays to your strengths and you can portray.

Think back to the librarian vs general example. Playing the same grand strategy game, how could they differ their approach? Maybe the librarian is a bit calmer and more relaxing while the general is a boisterous drill sergeant. Or maybe the opposite happens and you exploit some gap moe. It doesn't need to be fully formed, it doesn't need to be perfect, and it doesn't need to be finalized before you do your practice reps. But you do need an angle unique to yourself that will prevent you from becoming another neon catgirl playing Among Us and passively reacting to whatever is on-screen.

Anime and Vtubing is a visual medium, anon. You think Artemis would be nearly as "popular" if their model wasn't a well-designed (and likely very expensive to commission) shark girl? Branding is literally one of the most important things you do as a streamer and if you have shitty background art, shitty emotes, and a shitty model and say to yourself, "I'll just update them down the line/once I get more followers and money" you're literally shooting yourself in the foot because no one's going to click your stream, check out your videos, or subscribe to you in the first place if your model looks bad. I don't see how "invest time in designing a strong character over being careless about it" is controversial advice here.

I'm someone who both said you should be streaming and character only serves to help the streaming, but worked on my character for a month. The thing is, a good character can draw eyes in and make it easier to engage with chat. The thing is, you can be working on your character AND stream at the same time, and you really should be. You can't know what your character should be about if you don't know what you like streaming or not. The reality of the situation is that you shouldn't expect people to watch you for a long time, so it doesn't matter if you get a character and want to change it. Unless you win the lottery and get super big, no one is going to care if you rebrand.

You're literally proving yourself wrong here. Artemis attracted attention with their good model but inevitably lost all that attention because they are a shit entertainer. You can polish your character as much as you want but if you're boring nobody will stay. A good personality can make up for a bad character but it doesn't work the other way around. What people are trying to tell you is to put your reps in with what you currently have so that you'll have lasting appeal if you get a more expensive model down the line.

It's an interesting idea, but more important than the concept is the experience. For the viewer, what is interacting with this AI like? Is it like a scatterbrained professor who is incredibly invested in their subject and is almost a little *too* excited to share details of it with you? Or is it more of a tour guide, offering a light but informative guided experience? Or something completely different.

Obviously, there's no real AI, so you can make W.I.S.E. act however you want. A lot of it will be determined by your own personality, and whatever direction you find easiest to exaggerate your own tendencies when explaining lore.

you're concerned with the color the parachute and wasting your time asking what other people would think of you if they saw a particular colored parachute. you're wasting your life designing "the perfect" vtuber avatar and coming up with "the perfect" vtuber lore and background, vtweeter.

you wanna be a good vtuber? then start vtubing. do you reps. don't even bitch about "grinding" because you haven't even started and don't even know what 'grinding' means.

As a separate person, I feel like this whole discussion gets too binary. Like, there's a lot of waiting period when getting the model done you can use to hammer out any lore specifics, then once you have an image you can PNG tube to get your reps in. Lore isn't really all that important in the long run (unless you are *really* leaning into it), but it is still a worthy topic of discussion in these threads since it is part of building a character.

but it's not. "building a character" isn't a factor in determining who decides to click your thumbnail and stay to watch. your avatar's art, probably. cute bear girl? might give a click. generic dude with vroid base model? hard pass.

if you want to worry about making you DESIGN look great as a hook, then sure. but you're wasting your time trying to build a 'character' with 'lore' and shit. even more so because once you get started, the lore is gonna be what your community will give to you.

Ame was supposed to be some suave detective who is investigating the rest of the HoloMyth girls. how long did that lore last? all of 5 minutes into her debut. now her community has been with her and established that she's a little salt gremlin who somehow has GFE and tries really hard to practice singing for her viewers.

if any of the vtweeters here went through something like, it'd just constantly be "nooooo muh loreeee, i put so much time into it even though it doesn't matterrrr, stop making lore that doesn't suit what i came up withhhhhh"

People are free to discuss what they want about character building. Lore can be a part of that, in as little or as much as they want. Either way, it is still a valid line of questioning for threads that are literally about aspiring vtubers. You don't get to decide that for others, however. In my case, I have almost no lore since it isn't needed for my content so it's not really a consideration. If you don't want to help with lore discussions, you are free to ignore the posts.

Now if someone was putting off getting a design done because they wanted to fully flesh out some lore for 3 months straight then yeah, they probably should be called out on it.

An easy thing to avoid doing if you want to keep female viewers is GFE and thirst trapping, beyond that I'm not too sure myself. You can check out streamers with high female vs. male viewership ratios (Vtuber or not) to get an idea of what kinds of personalities attract more women. Valkyrae is a streamer of the top of my head who's got a bunch of female viewers and has posted proof - I'm not really sure if there are any female Vtubers with ratios as high as hers.

In general, if you're talking about female weebs correlating with girls who like to watch streams, I think 80% of the same content applies. Like one person said I think it's usually extreme GFE that squicks us out. Even if it was pandered to lesbos, I think most of us just don't like that kind of behavior because we can "see though" it better. In the same vein, acting dumb intentionally. Though I guess this is things to avoid, not necessarily things to do. I'd say most content reception is more similar then you'd think.

Oh wow, what the fuck. So they want people with pre-existing audiences to audition, and their freedom, to work with a company with no experience, no resources, and no stated management capabilities. All in the hope of... eventually possibly getting some of these things?

This isnt an audition for vtubers to work there, this should be them auditioning to work with vtubers.

>>2223602
This is true, however it isn't the vtubers job to start a company, its the companies job to make it useful to vtubers. Nowadays the tech is more easily available so going indie is easier, the only thing companies can provide is management and financing. This company has neither. It's rough but what they should be doing is going after people who are planning on debuting and helping them. Going after existing content creators seems like a lost cause since there's no value proposition at all. For every instance of hololive/nijisanji, there'll be dozens of failed startups, scam companies, and abusive management.

>>2223670
I mean, having a design that isn't really discernible just does that by default. Unless you actually talk about politics and whatnot for that stuff, you aren't pushing an agenda.

Alternatively, some model designs (robots, nonhumanoid things, etc.) have no particular reason to be gendered in the first place.

>This is true, however it isn't the vtubers job to start a company, its the companies job to make it useful to vtubers. Nowadays the tech is more easily available so going indie is easier, the only thing companies can provide is management and financing. This company has neither. It's rough but what they should be doing is going after people who are planning on debuting and helping them. Going after existing content creators seems like a lost cause since there's no value proposition at all. For every instance of hololive/nijisanji, there'll be dozens of failed startups, scam companies, and abusive management.
Fair point. I just want to actually be in an agency, you know? I feel like being an indie is kind of holding my potential to do great things back?

Ichikara existed as a company before Nijisanji was founded. They weren't a "vtuber" company, they are a tech company. Also startups start by someone investing capital and a gathering a team. You join a company and give up indie freedoms in exchange for money, support, and promotion. This company has no money to give, can only promise small things, and is in the process of hiring a free social media manager off reddit.
PRISM, while questionable with how fast they're hiring, is better because they have a website and talk about the creators and their accolades.

Narwhal is two reddit posts, 4 tweets, and zero information.

I mean ambiguous characters like Nanachi from Made in Abyss can have a lot of appeal and don't "push agendas" or so to speak, but you should be prepared to see your fans to fight over your gender from time to time. If you've got an androgynous voice or voice that toes the line between young boy and tomboy girl that kind of character could work especially well for you.

Hmm, you make a definitely fair point
The only issue is I’ve already auditioned for Prism once, but I don’t feel like the audition actually showed off my talents properly and I don’t feel like it was good enough? So I kind of want to make a second audition that actually shows off my talents and talks about stuff in a proper way during the same wave, but idk how well that would go.

Oh this is a perfectly good thing to want, you'd have people at your back and extra protections.

>I feel like being an indie is kind of holding my potential to do great things back?
However, this I'm not entirely sure. You can still do whatever you want, it's just more up to you to make it happen. You have to source your own tech/interface/whatever, you have to determine any rights management, and everything comes out of your pocket. You wont have an advertising & HR department to put your name out there while you stream or sleep. And of course, you are the one who has to make (and manage) all your money. Also of course agencies mean usually easier time doing collabs.

However with an agency, depending on how its run, you may have to put everything through management to see if you can do it. And rights become more complicated since companies have different things they are allowed to do. And of course they will take a part of your profit. It's a give an take relationship. Sometimes theres more give on one side or the other, and therein is the complication.

Like, I'd kinda like to be in a group of vtubers as well, gives you a community instead of the lonely wasteland of small account streaming. But I also know it would add more complications and responsibilities. Also I instinctively like trying to help others when I can (especially younger people than me) so I think I'd work well in an agency setting. But I'm not gonna apply for any of them since I want to see if I can do it on my own first.

Depends on how disciplined you can be. If you use a term like "non-binary" though, people will definitely make snap judgements about you. And you have to have a strategy ready for when the twitter mob breaks into your chat and demands you say "trans rights." Do you appease them once and become beholden to them forever, do you try to ignore it and have antis spam you all day, etc.

A collective around 4chan would be fucking awful, I mean just in general. The benefit I could see of a collective is maybe both advice and some closer friendliness. Adding more people in means an excuse to interact with them. A shared website to showcase people, a group discord so more fans would cross-pollinate and share moderator load.
This might be extremely terrible in practice, but I'm just wondering why there's not at least some attempts at it. Even terrible elitist attempts at gatekeeping and holier-then-thou exclusive groups.

no one cares that much, just keep it under 60 seconds. for tiktok specifically, make sure it actually hits. the algorithm is fucking aggressive and if the first 3-5 people who see it don't like it, it's dead and will never get picked up. show it to someone to make sure that it hits and will get a thumbs up.

i remember another anon posted a 7 minute long clip playing skyrim where he hurt an NPC and just jumped around confused because the townspeople were attacking him. it may have been funny to him in the moment, but it was a shit video of an unfunny moment for viewers.

I think that's perfectly fine, but I'd also have exclusive content on each to give people a reason to follow on multiple platforms.

Also realize that each platform is specialized for one specific thing. People are less likely to watch a clip on Twitter than they are on tiktok, because that's what tiktok is built for. But on the other hand Twitter is a stronger communication device so more people will want to use it as a tool to interact with you directly. Play to each platforms strengths, and overlap content where appropriate.

If you're looking to pika's as a good example do something like this: Keep it to simple shapes, use one (MAYBE two) non-fancy fonts, and steal a color pallet. Either look for top ones, or take all your colors from a larger but unified pallet. https://lospec.com/palette-list Real basic 1 - 3 colors that work in color theory, google the basics. Rounded corners are currently "in". Avoid pure black. With your one font, do like pika and vary straight text, text with a dark outline and light inner, text with a white outline *if you feel it's necessary*. You don't have to do ALL of those and shouldn't try.
Either pirate adobe illustrator or buy Affinity Designer when it's on sale for $25. Which lucky for you, is currently on sale right now. https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/
It should be easy enough to learn the basics for making simple shapes and text.

does anyone who has been streaming for a bit have tips on motivation or maybe audience management? I just want to be a chill game streamer, cool with lurking or whatever, but i had a weird smurf troll account in my chat yesterday and earlier today I'm watching a small streamer I follow have one of these free therapy guys sperging out in chat.

I see lots of people saying they're vtubing to help with introversion or anxiety but it's just making me wonder why i thought this was a good idea when my interest in interacting with people is the first thing to go when i get caught off balance like this.

I'm on Twitch so far, is YouTube any better for avoiding this drive by bullshit? I almost just want to play with the chat off for a couple days aside from that sounding counterintuitive and stupid.

You get over a fear of snakes first by looking at pictures of snakes, then being in the same room as one, then touching one, then carrying one. If interacting with people in real life causes you anxiety or sets off introversion, a good way of getting around that is using a "safer" alternative to start. Vtubing, in this case.

My opinion, because some streamers don't care:
Unfortunately, streaming isn't going to be for you if you aren't able to handle these guys. While you don't have to be a brick wall emotionally, you just have to set rules and boundaries. I can't say this part from total experience, but from what I've seen of bigger/mid streamers is that they must be firm with their chat even if it's not solidly against the rules when they act up. You can't engage them in whatever bullshit they're trying to do, you have to shut it down. You can play around with them if they don't bother you, but if they are, you just need to quickly and firmly address it or give a silent ban and move on.

as the streamer, you're gonna have to cultivate the viewerbase you want. if you engage with the people asking good questions, keeping a convo going, and having a good time, they'll stick around. shitters may appear and try to derail the topic, but if you ignore them, the other good viewers will follow your example and ignore them too.

Shit I was working on a document on this exact subject but keep putting it off finishing it since I figure no one would be interested. I'll give some advice from my experiences on these:

> a weird smurf troll account in my chat yesterday
You just gotta get used to banning people. There will always be trolls coming into your stream no matter what you do. They just want a few things, either to get a rise out of you, or to see that they themselves are able to interrupt the flow of the stream. Thats why having moderators helps, they can shoot the trolls while you just continue on your day, so people can't interrupt the stream with their stupid bullshit. Twitch also has no protection against using burner email services for signing up accounts, so there's and endless supply of troll accounts at all times.

>earlier today I'm watching a small streamer I follow have one of these free therapy guys sperging out in chat.
People like to do trauma dumps, either because they have no idea how to actually act in public, they expect the streamer to be their therapist, or because they made it up and they're trolling. In these cases I feel the best response is for a mod to basically tell them that chat isn't the place for such discussions (depending on the type of chat you have, there may be group therapy type streams out there I dunno), and if they insist on continuing you can timeout/ban as needed.

You as a streamer are not a therapist, and theres absolutely no reason any people in chat should have any right to dump a bunch of absurdly personal shit on you and expect it to take up your time. You'll probably also want to look into an actual set of stream rules and have a moderator or two on hand depending on your average viewership ASAP. Running a tight ship in your community is important, both for your mental health and so that community members actually know what the limits are (aka don't have rules you never enforce, it just fucking confuses everyone).

The 'firm ban' info is definitely helpful, I laughed it off at the time but I was debating if banning was worth it or if it would invite more trolling.

I'm still starting out so I usually only have one or two talkative chatters but IMO the doc you mentioned would be a good resource for auds/asp!

Looking back on it more I was probably also being oversensitive to shitty chat bc I was trying some new setup things that weren't totally going my way, plus some irl stuff i was hoping to take my mind off with streaming rather than add to.

Alrighty, I'll get off my ass and work on it more. IIRC right now its at five pages already. But banning is just something you just learn to get used to. Generally we go warn, then timeout, then ban. But of course it depends on what they do. I should note that "not moderating your chat" is against Twitch TOS, so there are some trolls that go around trying to shit out a bunch of slurs/harrassment shit/etc. then report your stream if you don't deal with it.

And for the love of god never let randos into voice chat or related. Its a disaster.

The TOS trolling is more rare since most of the time it would just end up incriminating the troll themselves, so they usually only do it if they can worm their way into a major part of your stream (being able to voice chat or display text on your screen) and even then its a gamble.

Youtube streaming I'm not as familiar with, and I really only watch hololive and a few others on there, and they tend to have very different styles of chat interaction. I prefer Twitch myself, due to it being better for streamer to chat interaction and YT still feels like streaming is an afterthought. Twitch makes stupid decisions constantly, but the "Mod View" for twitch is fucking amazing and makes it so much easier to keep an eye on shit. Also on Youtube you have to deal with their insane AI that no one at YT actually keeps an eye on.

you have to be careful if you dont have a pretty put together design, and jsut a moodboard. some artists will charge you more because they consider working only off of a moodboard or text could be considered character design on top of the art work.
even if you're not a good artist, make your own design sketch and make sure you add clear references.

I mean, it just mentions a server, doesn't say if thats all they are. But they don't really seem to offer anything all that good. Applicants have to provide their own models, so thats a large amount of time and money the applicant will have to plunk down. The company provides... custom merch and a place in an audio drama?

Oh, and I guess "Regular motivational speeches". How exciting. Basically you're applying for the chance to pay to work in an audio drama no ones heard of.

ive noticed that in the steam version i had to add breathing. press the plus button in the pic (you will have to scroll to the end of your params list) and add the output as "ParamBreath"
you don't need an input because it will automatically animate as long as you have auto-breathing checked.

At least they have a website. But their social links don't work, and god is that site hard to read. The youtube name doesn't look branded and there's a rando on pinterest with the name.
Another no information agency. Under "YOUR COMMITMENTS" you have to create your own live2d/3d avatar, so they're not even helping with model creation it looks like.

I'd agree if it was a company like cover, but even nijisanji seems like they just throw their talent into the wild with barely any support

Even the 1 million sub hololive girls are making their own thumbnails, I'd think bare minimum a agency should have artists on staff working on thumbnails... That shit is either the most important or second most important part of getting impressions on youtube.

Spend that money on improving the stream experience instead for example better mic, pc hardware upgrade, mocap trackers, another monitor, better desk for your pc, toys for sound (kazoos bells), hell even purchasing a good chair is better than getting fanart. Or at the very least purchase a new outfit or rig a chibi.

They misspelled Corporation if that's what they were going for. Can't really find anything on them though. These guys are only a few months old which has me worried, where are they getting that money, unless it's a personal investment?

Seems they already have a few employees though, as they are promising the world and a half for their services. Legal services are already a stretch in most cases.

I can't read apparently. Maybe saying it seems 'legit' is too far, but it's more promising at least. It is still a new company, but are at least claiming that they will help monetarily and have staff. They picked a bad name though, CyberLive is used in a few places so it's not super searchable. If they have some tech nerds who started this up, they could probably have some cash to startup or be able to convince a few people to help. It's worth looking into at least, to see what kind of things they offer if you get far enough.

fair, but if they catch one video, they can strike your entire channel because each video where you use that image is an instance of infringement. if you're on youtube, that means 3 videos = 3 strike = channel deletion. don't know how twitch will deal with it.

membership - premium streams (unique content)
patreon - premium access to "you" (think like behind the scenes stuff, not selfdox but more like "here's my creative content creation process" or give them more ways to interact with you beyond just discord, sneak peaks at experimental forms of streams that they can provide more input on)

I guess I could see that.

My gimmick is based on the community of a specific tv franchise, so along with gaming streams I'd also be reacting to trailers and episodes of that franchise.
My plan was to almost always have my streams be public when they are live, but only ever archive full reactions for members and only reuploading highlights and the aftershow for everybody else. That would either encouraging people to join or try to catch the stream as it's live, ideally boosting the viewership. gaming streams being archived for all 100 percent of the time.
With that in mind I'm not totally sure what I'd put on patreon since I'm not comfortable with behind the scenes stuff, but I'll play with the idea
