I don't really have a top 10, but I'll give some subtle examples of vtubers attempting to keep up kayfabe that come to mind. You probably have heard of some of these before.
>Mori insisting on referring to her RM work as being "in the underworld" or "teaching scythe swinging to little reapers". Just because everyone knows what she actually means doesn't make it not good kayfabe. In fact, keeping to it despite everyone knowing the reality makes it BETTER kayfabe. "Priestess duties" falls under this as well.
>Ame inventing the time traveler part of her lore to cover up why she knows about 90s Kid stuff without giving away her IRL age or upbringing.
>Zentreya changes her gimmick all the time, but she maintains the kayfabe of the gimmick she's actively in. It was mentioned earlier in this thread, but kson actually does this as well, with her different personae having different monikers, which she refers to by title as if they're a different person when she's not in that persona.
>Moriko Kyoho has shit like "bat gravity" that explains why she can stand on the ceiling, and subtle things she can't do (like open windows or get better internet) because she's in kayfable living in the viewers' basement(s). Even if you don't have one.
There's others, many of who have been mentioned in thread already, but that's all that springs to mind currently for examples.
Kayfabe isn't just about having a story your character uses, it's about letting you blend and build up that layer of fantasy while still keeping a foot in reality. The conceit that /vt/ has about kayfabe is that the character is weaker if they make any references to IRL stuff, when in reality the opposite is true: Adapting Reality to suit the Kayfabe in a believeable way is itself proof of mastery over kayfabe. A story that never breaks or cracks or shows any reality is just acting a full fabrication, or a delusional fantasy. A character that takes situations that would crack a normal fabrication and reinforces them with reality, isntead of being undone by it, that's the real shit.

Sad? No. But this is the viewer's role in the kayfabe: our job is now to engage with the streamer in the celebration of their "career" as this character, even though 10 minutes after the stream closes they'll possibly be back with a different character with a different gimmick in a different company (or as an indie).
It's a way to show appreciation for the work as the character, and to show respect for the kayfabe of that character being retired. I know appreciation and respect are alien things to most of /vt/, but graduation streams are just another aspect of kayfabe, except this time, it's the audience responsible for doing the heavy lifting. So either put your hand on the paper mache coffin prop and start up your crocodile tears, or shut up and let people do what they do.

>If you like Nick from Zootopia does that make you a furry? I think not.

Why pretend that you care about her feelings at all if you're just going to piss and shit every single time this happens while autistically refusing to offer alternatives when people ask for them? You're obviously content to let people continue to do something that you consider damaging to her and are therefore not helping her at all, you're just being a massive faggot.
