/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>12692759
It will definitely test who was actually there because they enjoy the content and who were the faggots that only watched because it was flavor of the month shit

it already is, although it's not done obviously
i dunno, maybe
it'll reach equilibrium and remain a viable alternative to facecam streaming but people will stop seeing it as a gimmick they need to grab onto

Top of the first bubble now. Will recline but bounce back bigger.

You guys act like VTubing isn't just streaming
Once that bubble pops, even if it already has, VTubing is here to stay

>>12692759
as long as there are girls with low self esteem and a decent amount of autism, vtubing will be here to stay

>>12692759
It's simply going to stabilize into a type of streaming along with other twitch streamers/youtubers who show their faces. Most people who jumped on the fad will die out, big players like Hololive may begin to decline in relevancy but still coast on their biggest stars (Pekora etc, assuming they don't graduate for a few years at least)

>>12692759
The absolute worst thing about the 2020 boom is that it bought in a bunch newfags like you who act vtubing magically appeared one day and wasn't steadily inclining in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019
>Duuur the da boooble is gonna pop anyday now bro everyone is gonna recline XDDD
Shut the fuck you retard, you sound so fucking stupid vtubing is a form of streaming now, it's like asking if face cams streams gonna fall into irrelevance
The answer is no, fairweather faggots like you might fuck off but vtubing is here stay

>>12693917
But the 2020 newfag boom is exactly why it will recline, at least for a little

>>12692759
The tech is here to stay. Short of an apocalyptic event that destroys the internet forever, vtubing will stay around indefinitely just like streaming, just like public television, just like shortwave radio.
Now Cover and Anykara may fold and vanish like upd8 did, but just like upd8 and Kizuna Ai, their death isn't going to mean any incline, other personalities and companies will show up to fill in the power vacuum. Hell, with kson's indie initiative, you might not even need corps anymore.

>>12694052
2020 the majority newfags are tertiary as fuck though, clipsfags who barely watch streams to begin with
It's equivalent of people who call themselves touhou ""fans"" but they've only listened to remixes of the music and jerked off to porn of the characters, but never actually play the games

you just described /jp/

>>12692759
Interpret this as you will

>all the smug vtubers are going to desperately suck the cocks of viewers when their numbers get so low
>pekora doing nude photoshoots with a pekora mask on to maintain viewers
>rushia will become so obsessed she kills one of her fans for real in roblox

2views will inherit the web.

Vtubing is just streaming with an anime avatar, not going anywhere as long as streaming and anime are popular.

Op is probably concerned with the corporate side since growth is obviously drying up and companies will have to cut back on salaries and production if there's any decline in profits.

>>12697562
They should ban psychotic individuals with delusions from posting

>>12695293
Now do Holo, Niji, and smaller corpos combined.

My oshi's power only grows. As long as she streams, I'll watch.

>>12696647
Sooner he later she'll start saying things like: "If you come at me from behind either fight me or fuck me", just like her granny.

>>12697704
Calm down, anon.

>>12697704
The entire website would collapse due to inactivity.

>>12698179
No, I am sick of you corporate larpers, not only do you not understand how vtuber numbers work you're not even Japanese
>they're getting lower views
>profits will tank!
>meanwhile more and more events are happening

>>12698641
/po/ wouldn't.

It will only become bigger and go on to replace what we consider 'actual' celebrity today.
but only once the entire human population's consciousness is uploaded into the Facebook metaverse matrix following the destruction of the earth's biosphere in the musk-bezos ascendancy wars of the 2030s

Isn't this a case of being sad about something going missing before it is gone? What's the point of that? Enjoy what you have. There is far more new vtube content produced every day than I could possibly keep up with even if I did nothing but watch vtubers all day.
Even when my oshi graduated, I was a bit sad about it, and I still miss that character, but then the VA/seiyuu came back with a new avatar.
Things change, things die, and that's life.
I got into vtubers because i needed to wean myself off political content on YouTube and also I needed something to watch to relax in the evening or while driving long distance.
I think even if the market shrinks, there will always be enough chuubas for everyone to enjoy.

Fuck fumofags. I can accept the music fags or ones who read the printworks since at least theres something from the canon works that they can appreciate, but basing the lore or characters from non official doujins or fan made animes AND insisting that they're canon is annoying. Sorry fanonfags but Aya is a sly manipulative tengu soldier and not an incompetent dork like the anime portrays often.

This is funny because I could actually see it happening

You might not have been entirely serious when you posted this, but I truly believe this is the direction humanity will go. there is actually zero hope we can solve climate change at this point, and the last "no turning back" moment was decades ago. the world will continue to get worse and resources will dry up, but the internet, shining in its infinite glory studded with neon lights, will be there to tell us it's all okay. it takes resources to feed someone and provide them a house, but once the technology is perfected, it is a pittance to keep them on a nutrient drip while they live 24/7 in a VR simulation, with the freedom of choice to eat anything, be anyone, or do anything with no real consequences. this is the great filter, it has to be. every civilization goes this direction, because fiction is always more exciting than the depressing reality. the end point of every civilization is a cluster of uploaded consciousnesses experiencing the most extreme depravities and luxuries beyond what is remotely possible in the real world.

we might even be in one now. This is what the final yab truly is. Not the destruction of vtubing, but the destruction of everything aside from it, to where it no longer is special because it is reality, rather than an escape from it.

>>12692759
It will nosedive and crab, then boom again once someone discovers the next vtubing innovation. That's just how stonks are.

>>12704728
I was being at least 61% serious.
