/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>8106243
Miko blew up because of her tech, capitalized on it by collabing with big name streamers who wanted to be interviewed by "the vtuber of the future", and then squandered it by having basically no charisma on her own and not really being able to carry a stream. Ash iirc was part of some big Twitch drops event related to the OTV Rust server. If you tuned into her channel during a specified period of time you would get a special item. Given that hers featured herself (a cute anime girl) she was a popular item to try and get so she experienced a monstrous spike while that was live. Some stuck around, but most naturally drifted away because they were there exclusively for the item and once they got it they could do whatever they wanted with their time.

Basically the VShojo girls shouldn't have anything to worry about. Their growth has come about pretty organically (vtuber boom aside) and they've proven to be able to maintain their audience. If they get a boom for some reason (like Sykkuno fans suddenly decide they want to tune into Mouse every day) then even once that falls off they should still be in a good place. Honestly I could see Snuffy being the one who is scared the most because her growth exploded most heavily after a combination of her new model reveal (and popularizing theartgun as a modeler) and her super fucking emotional voice reveal. Those are 2 lightning-in-a-bottle events that could easily be read as not something she earned. She shouldn't worry though because she's maintained the boost she got from both of them, and hasn't drifted to the wayside like Miko did when they realized there wasn't much to her beyond her tech.
