>>84777742>But my perspective is heavily skewed by being in smaller communities where the chuuba can interact very directlyThat’s partially true, but only because you see interactions with you yourself as the important part while, for the Holo audience (for instance), it’s the interaction with the COLLECTIVE that are important.
Nousagis see a funny interaction between Pekora and one of them as a funny interaction with EACH AND ALL of them, same goes for saplings, same goes for watamates, same goes for chumbuds, same goes for most Holo fanbases.
For those wanting a more personalized response they can always spring the money and throw a red super chat and stay for the SC reading.
That’s the difference in expectations, for the Holo audience, for the most part, the chat experience is a collective one.
(That, incidentally, is why the plague of “fans of the fandom” exist, with people bandwagonning wanting to be part of the fandom without actually watching streams)
