Have you ever felt like the EN side of VTubing (typically concentrated on twitch) has just been one big gelatinous blob of similar content for most of it's lifetime?
Have you ever wondered why EN indies that create the blandest of content still get 3view numbers?
Have you ever wondered why there's no creative, motivated and talented EN VTubers that break out from time to time, like in any other industry?
Well wonder no more.

> M: I think there's a few of them (VTweeters) in (V Discord).
> M: For those of you who don't know, (V Discord) is like this... I guess at this point it's kind of an ancient VTuber server?.
> G: It was mystical at the time.
> M: A lot of VTubers you know kinda started out like, vibing in there.
> M: Even a few, like big corpo VTubers today - obviously not gonna name names - there were like in there.
> G: That's where they came from.
> G: I remember, coz we were all a big friend group.
> G: It wasn't a super tight friend group coz we were so many people
> G: And there would just be these VCs and we would all hang out when we were all smaller streamers and trying to figure out like, how this all worked.
> G: That was where I met everyone. I think after like my first month of VTubing I was in that server.
> G: Coz someone met me on twitter and then I got added in there, and then I met you, I met Jowol, Juniper, Bao, like all of them I just met in there.
> G: You didn't even have to be a VTuber, there were a lot of people that were just artists in there just chilling, right?
> M: I don't even think it was intended to be a VTuber server.

You heard that right.
There exists a discord server that is the mother of all cliques in the western indie sphere...
A place where every new VTuber gets added and then just gets absorbed into this amorphous twitch VTuber "content farm", losing any bit of passion and creativity they might have initially had.
An entire group of "content creators" that just cannibalize each other's content and audiences into one big hivemind, completely isolated from any sort of input from the outside of this little echo chamber of theirs.
