Male vtubers are a fundamentally flawed concept.
The whole point of this industry is to create and cultivate a parasocial relationship between the audience and the performer so that the audience spends money on the performer, that's what it really boils down to. With girl vtubers this is easy enough because the audience wants to be her boyfriend, that's the appeal.
If you try that route with dudes of course they're gonna get shit results because the potential audience is tiny, homosexual weebs and yumejos.
A more fruitful parasocial route would be an ensemble cast, to where the audience doesn't fantasize about dating the performer but rather fantasize about being a part of the group, another pal. Think the Jackass guys, the Inside the NBA panel, letsplay channels on youtube, or countless other more mainstream examples. It is always a group of guys bantering one another and having fun.
Instead of making them all have individual mediocre channels and badly pretend to be hosts you'd have much better results by making it one single channel where there's always at least two of them collabing, shooting to shit and having fun.
