>>30091204Yes, who wouldn't be?
But also sad realizing how many miserable people with crippling loneliness there are that there is such massive demand for it. People like
>>30088500 have literally no other reason not to off themselves but some small moving 2D drawing of a head in the corner of a screen speaking a language they barely can understand and playing some stupid shit nobody including the streamer cares about.
Wretched, isn't it?
And I am no different, I had some other oshi, but I felt the same way as
>>30088500. In fact, It happened to me multiple times. I don't want to cry because of somebody who don't even know I exist no more.
More than that, the streamer sometimes is also suicidal depressive menhera with codependence on the audience. Just what the fuck is her problem. She's set up for life, but still complaining "I have no friends" to thousands viewers. Maybe it's just for pity points, but not always.
In 2018 I saw vtubers as a brand new medium, some sort of amalgamation of vocaloids, anime with interactivity and idol culture without all it's drawbacks. I genuinely believed that people won't care about roommates and will avoid any knowledge of them at all costs because nobody would want to ruin the experience. That way, there is no place for drama and scandals, right? Oh body I was wrong.
Back then all vtubers were 3D and had high production value. Barely any streams. Live concerts, original music videos, it was a team effort with a lot of staff involved.
But quantity won over quality. Just pay artist and rigger for avatar, give to literally any girl from the street an iphone, tell her to stream whatever. Content doesn't matter, she'll get first 100k subs before debut from brand recognition alone. After that all that's left is to count money and pray there won't be a big yab.
