>>34034112>Long time viewers know very often more about what can fuck you overtrue, once you've seen the same patterns enough times you know what they look like. tangential, but the amount of times i've seen a smaller vtuber decline after doubling down on a shit model/design change is staggering.
>b-but it's the same person behind the avatar!stop. if the vtuber model didn't fucking matter then vtubers would be irrelevant. i swear to god i want to metaphorically strangle indies i like when they debuff themselves with a garbage model change, especially when they cry on stream or yell at fans on twitter when people don't like it because pushing away long-term fans who are daring to be honest with their feedback is even more retarded.
>but all the other indies are changing their design every two months so i have to do it too!yeah, the other indies are doing it, and they're fucking staying 2views because their audience doesn't feel attached to them and are going elsewhere. can you imagine showing up to korone's stream and she's a pink haired foxgirl suddenly? people like consistency, they want you to show up regularly, they want you to be entertaining consistently, they want you to keep making the content they followed you for, and they don't want your cute design to change to something ugly they dislike. you maybe have the goodwill to do a design swap ONCE so make it fucking count.
>i think you're overestimating the effect of this anoni've seen it reflect in the numbers and audience participation of various indies i enjoy, i watch small vtubers a lot and i can tell you that the people patting your ass telling you your shitty new model is just as good are LYING. the person who got under your skin, who said your new model is offputting and doesn't suit you, that's the person who's being truthful.
>but i spent so much time and/or money on it...nobody cares. the harsh reality is there are a lot of fucking vtubers and you can lose viewers just by not streaming for a week and giving them time to find someone else. something as small as fucking up your branding because you had a menhera moment and decided you were more a wolfgirl than a catgirl has a cascading effect on your audience, it gives them the impetus to seek out someone new, and trust me there is no shortage of girls who wanna make it.
