>>78684712>I still say that there's a market starving for male vtubers.Here is the nature of my disagreement: there is not even a market for **boy bands** in the regular world.
Now, you'll say
>this negro is retarded, look at the massive success boy bands enjoy for pretty much the past 70 yearsThe thing is: although an entire industry former around boy bands, and although indeed each of them find MASSIVE success, the great majority if not ALL boy bands lasts for the time their generation of fans take to go from their current (teen) age to 18, 19 years old.
For most of them, they have a 2 years shelf life and then their audience "grows out" of them and move on to whatever next phase girls enjoy
>punk rock and Avril Lavigne(?) except the current versionEnterainment companies understood that also decades ago, that's why they
>pick the most disposable group of five boys>give them basic training and a cool backstoryand then RIDE them mercilessly, pimping them to an audience of 14 years old girls (age chosen for the distance from their "cutoff" point) and make the most of that generation before casting them out and either giving some space or running straight to the next crop.
The thing is: that can't work in the vtuber market which, like the general streaming market, is an inherent long term market with some content creators EASILY getting to their 10th anniversary, 15th birthday or even 17th birthday
>looking at you, 7utautaThere is no market for male vtubers because it would require debuting and discarding a Luxiem type of wave every 2 and a half years or so and, as NIjisanji is proving, that's easier said than done and hard enough to pull off that nobody managed to do it to this day.
