>>7081611Let's give the guy a break. I went back and looked at his older 2017 and 2018 videos and he seemed more energetic. Then the 2019 kickvic drama happened, showing that the entire western anime industry was pozzed. Then the rwby shitfest happened, which is relevant because apparently he liked that garbage. Then all the bullshit with cover happened after he got into hololive. It's no wonder he burnt out and stopped giving a fuck. Optimism is a casualty of the culture war.
Even in the vtubing scene, YouTube's moves to appease the perpetually offended trickle down in the form of self censorship, bans, and increasingly sanitized content that often fails to entertain. There's just no escape from that bitterness. Hero Hei just responded the same way Ayame did and started phoning it in. Haachama outright pissed off until Coco begged her to come back. Coco quit to escape the gilded prison. Vtubers en masse are copying one another, producing mostly the same content, and flooding the market with cheap knockoffs. At this point, there really isn't much to look forward to as there doesn't appear to be anything driving positive change or innovation.
The only people actually happy right now are those with other hobbies that still pump out reasons to be hopeful for the future of whatever they're interested in. But that's not where vtubing is right now. At least not for viewers. Only for chubas, because the Fubuki and matuli anime cameo was slightly promising for those hoping to one day break into the mainstream anime and game industry.
