>>58977424Ironically this reads just like the bitter rants from incels about how women can't see past their low income, their unfashionable dress sense, their taciturn, introverted but sensitive nature, or their lack of a decent social circle, to their true, worthy self. Except in this case, it's the average audience viewer that is in the position of the girl.
No one considers any corpo vtubers to be the cream of the crop in 'skills'. Shitting on their zatsu, or their singing, or their gaming, or their tech knowledge, is par for the course. You can surely always, always find 2views that blow them out of the water in one or more of these categories. In many cases I'm sure that's even the driving factor - some girl looked at a corpo vtuber fucking up, said "that's bullshit, I can do better in my sleep", and started streaming.
But unfortunately, people still consider the corpo vtubers superior. It's not because of their personality, or their skills, or whatever.
It's frankly very simple, and it's for the same reason as in relationships; a 2view cannot offer anywhere close to the security, or stability, that a corpo vtuber has.
A 2view likely never went through any sort of RL background checks, never had doxxfaggots rip their entire internet and IRL history apart, so you don't know if you're following a total piece of shit until some drama happens and all that shit comes spilling out from some jealous ex or something.
A 2view can have their own little orbiter groomer circle from her first MMO hidden away in Discord modding her chat, telling her everything to say, do, or stream, and there's no manager to tell them to cut that shit out or you get fired.
A 2view could just decide to start ranting about voting for X party tomorrow because I hate politics but it's so important and if X doesn't win the entire country's going down the drain and...
A 2view you've watched for months can just up and vanish tomorrow because she finally hooked that big accountancy job and getting out of her parents' house is more important than hanging around twenty-five losers online who throw her five bucks once a week.
So yeah, it's fucking unfair, it's terrible for the good ones with a heart of gold. Guess what, life's tough. If you find a good one, that's great, hold onto them. But most people are not going to spend months of their life watching hours of someone that has much more than equal odds of turning out to be a fucking land mine.
