>>649470>Old NicoNico weebs will migrate if they need toThey are already migrating, one of my indies was talking about it on stream recently.
Long-story short:
-They started leaving for twitcasting, YT and other platforms because of the resolution/quality restrictions of NND (by the time NND introduced 720p youtube was introducing 2k resolutions and 60 fps was becoming the norm).
-A lot of game otaku started also trying out OpenRec, Showroom, Twitch and then settled on YouTube because it was not an obscure platform and they could get an audience.
-And then YT doesn't have shit like reserving slots or paying for extending your own stream time past 30 minutes, which made people realize they were paying for basic functionality (which NND can't afford because of the costs of running it).
-Then YT got the same JASRAC (Japanese copyright society for music) deal that NND has (i think JASRAC just opened the program by creating guidelines) and that makes it okay for Karaoke and covers, so Utaite started migrating.
-A lot of artists started livestreaming on YT too, because it means a big global audience and their art actually looks decent on screen.
-Vtubers also got HUGE on YT, which made a lot of people start migrating too and so did and a lot of small content creators started migrating;
Pretty much what NND has right now on the otaku segment is MAD (because youtube copyright is a pain in the ass), the anime simulcasting (and companies are starting to test waters releasing anime on YT), the paid events (because YT still doesn't have a pay-per-view system) and the camgirls (like Twitch's IRL roasties, but pretending to be cute, aka the roomates of your favorite vtuber).
