https://youtu.be/YWHj2SWGR0YTo be less exaggerating over my excitement, I will do a broad brush recollection of Random Nerdring.
I still remember when he was a Twitter TBA alongside [redacted] and [redacted]. During this time, I was actively looking for male vtubers that didn't look like generic anime models that Live2D or VRoid naturally trends toward. Because homosex americano. So my first vtubers were just meme PNGs that would shoot the shit with 2-4 speakers while playing awful 360 games. The orc's mix of pure chatting and casual gaymen felt like the code had finally been cracked and I know understood why people watched livestreamers for personality.
Fast forward some time, and the new rig almost felt like a straight downgrade, but the easy first thing was to deflect and point fingers on like whatever proprietary bullshit Cover uses and if they got in-house artists or not. But really, the new design was anathema, less in being hot (shoutout to the horny fanart, ya made me proud) but it was still astonishingly ugly for a corporation that should have WAY more capital to invest with. Combine that with the whole idol structure that I completely bounced off of, and the vibes were notably different.
I was willing to accept that he had gone completely corpo, but it would still suck to lose interest. But by the time he debuted, there were more than enough gay-ass vtubers, even in a closer range to my sicko tastes. But also most of them rarely had the same boomer energy as Randon.
>>56924235The dynamics change substantially when one steps up from /wvt/ to /lig/ numbers, to an actual corporation managing and producing you. My main theory is that the permissions was the big catalyst for the implosion. No offense for Holo/Niji/Vshoj viewers, but most would struggle to make a stream solely around discussing tea logistics interesting to more than 200+ viewers. But one should also know that the idea of having chatter rapport falls apart once a streamers' average viewer count breaks past 100.
