>>34828624>"Ability doesn't matter for vtubers">"...talent doesn't matter for vtubers in general"I never said or implied either of these statements. You're misinterpreting my original positions and saying that they contradict my later statements when they don't.
I explained in the first quote,
> "That's like following Kiara only because she speaks different languages, Ina for art, or Callie for music."The implication here is that no one exclusively follows Vtubers in HoloLive for their talent alone.
In the second quote,
The implication is those small content creators don't have the same amount of talent HoloLive Myth girls have, and it makes a difference in how far they get with streaming. However, there is a ceiling to how far talent alone can get a streamer where other things like personality, image, recognition, consistency, and style of content begin to matter way more than a skill to the point where it becomes irrelevant if there are other people who are just as talented.
These two ideas are compatible. No one follows Vtubers exclusively for their talent, and talent does make a meaningful difference for streamers to grow their platform because other factors come into play.
I love Ame, but I'm not actively watching every stream from her only because she's creative with her platform. As I said, Ame has an engaging on-camera personality, and she's funny and lovable.
