/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>she has on the same day birthday as me
nice

youtube is still fugged for us chingchongs bros....

YT fucked, can't watch

>>1614926
>>1614957
What happened to it?

Stream doesn't work at all for me

>>1614979
I've been getting a lot of video stoppages and lag
Amerimutt BTW

>>1614888
Jesus I almost forgot and now what the fuck is going on in YT

Ok I know this is the dumbest fucking thing ever because who would actually want to download VLC but I at least kind of got it working in VLC some of the time

It bugged the fuck out through kanata coco but i at least got some of matsuri and mel.

>6k

>>1615067
She had double that but youtube won't work at all.

youtube is such a fuckiing incompetent company holy fucking shit

>>1615067
I saw that too and I want to close YT because its unusable but that shit number is no birthday gift for Aki

cute :)

>>1615095
theyre doing this deliberately. just like they mysteriously magically bugged out the viewer counts for japan

for weeks

open vlc, ctrl+n, paste link

FUCK CHINA
FUCK YOUTUBE

>>1615067
I'm trying to watch her but can't because the stream is seizing up harder than an engine with no oil

>>1615067
10k watching, 12k likes.
When I started a moment ago it was like 8k watching, 11k likes.
Makes no sense.

>switch to my huawei phone
>stream works
It's always fucking china isn't it?

>>1614979
Coordinated Chinese cyberattack sponsored by the CCP.

>>1615067
Literally unwatchable buffering

Use the mobile app it seems to work better

>>1615179
5ch is ablast with "it's China" so I believe it.

>>1615067
she's got around 12k now, which is impressive considering youtuber literally isn't working.

FUCK YOUTUBE

Fuck this shit. When YT lags for me, quitting the browser and opening the phone app is enough to fix shit. Now its doing nothing. Google is fucking incompetent

Her singing cures my soul!

>>1615067
It's 10k at the moment.. better than Pikamee on 650 lol.
Youtuber fucking up all day wouldn't be helping.
Close to $5k in Supas at the moment. Obviously that's pretty good for her.

>>1615247
Blame China. There's no way this shit can happen 2 nights in a row during prime hours. 100% coordinated.

1. Open VLC
2. Ctrl + N
3. Paste stream URL

>that hips

youtube finally unlags after the song is done

DIAMOND CREVASSE

>>1615261
how do you check supa totals?

YOUTUBE!!

>>1615067
It had 12K and was choking as shit, then it died for me and viewership instantly dropped by 9K.
Ahem
FUCK TWITCH
FUCK TWITTER
FUCK FACEBOOK
FUCK YOUTUBE
AND ABOVE ALL FUCK SUSAN WOJCICKI

How is she so good at singing, bros? This stream makes me so happy

>>1615020
same

I love this married woman with children's singing so much bros...

How do we deal with the chink problem, /vt/?
I am so fucking mad. Why isn't youtube doing anything about this? Shit has been happening for almost a year straight.

>>1615270
DDoSing during Hololive hours or targeting Hololive itself?

Endless buffering

>>1615387
>>1615387
youtube despises Japanese anime culture so there will be no way they will ever address it. Google is literally working for chinks.

>>1615347
playboard.co
They wouldn't necessarily be 100% accurate but they give at least a pretty good idea about numbers. She's up to 6.6k so far.
And for a rough idea of what they get after the Youtube, Cover and Taxman cuts, I divide it by 6.
>youtube keeps fucking up, ruining her birhtday
FUCKING CUNT

>>1615393
Both.

>>1615387
We need to get YT to ban all Chinese AND Taiwanese IPs, I feel sorry for Taiwan bros but it's a sacrifice we have to make unless they're ready to liberate China and make it defacto west Taiwan

>>1615387
What does China have to do with Youtube fucking up? Are they DDOS"ing Covercorp or youtube somehow?

Aki was the first holo I stumbled upon last spring. Thank you Aki for all your hard work! AKI LOVE!

yes, YT is a bunch of autistic spergs who don't know how to configure a CDN correctly, but it's not a DDoS
it works fine if you watch through a client like VLC or mpv

>>1615436
Specifically doing it during Hololive prime hours.

>>1615436
It's not YT you can literally watch any channel 100% fine i'm watching 774 Ran umamusume because I can't Aki

This is TARGETED

>>1615459
Ah. I thought it was just all of youtube since some other videos I tried to watch last night were fucking up.

>>1615387
What do the chinks have against Aki? I thought Coco was the only one they reee'd about

>crying
:(

>>1615416
youtube 30%, cover and talent each 35%
who knows about taxesesesesesees

YT, you fucking cunt of all shit to pull. NOW its buffering on VLC as well!

>>1615436
Go watch ANY nijis now (eg. himawari ARK), they all work fine.
Only hololiver's channels are fucked.

Sounds like cover might want to start doing premiers instead of live streams for a few days and switching their IPs
>>1615441

>>1615484
Streaming with Coco yesterday will do that

>>1615441
aki love

>>1615459
>It's not YT
idk I couldn't watch beatani yesterday

>>1615387
>>1615436
>>1615454
>>1615459
How is it even possible for them to do this?
It;s not the chinks.
I tried to watch Kuku (animare) yesterday and had the same problem, and so did everyone else. She ended up just cancelling it in the end I think.
Nothing to do with hololive in that case.
YToutube asia-pacific is having server issues last I heard

I'm finally able to watch...

...at fucking 144p

>beer mug
Niceee

>>1615543
STOP DOWNPLAYING A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY

HOW IS IT REMOTELY FUCKING POSSIBLE THAT ITS TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW ALL OF THE HOLOS CANT STREAM/HAD TO CANCEL STREAMS BECAUSE OF YOUTUBE?

100% COORDINATED BY CHINA, NOTHING ELSE MORE

>>1615543
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J1VBzj0MOY
Then explain how this stream works 100% fine

>>1615179
>>1615203
runs fine on my Korean phone and tablet but not my pc
has nothing to do with China

>>1615543
Yeah I'm with this guy. Chinks are many things but let's not give them more power than they actually have

Holy shit, I want the beer mug but I don't know if I trust international shipping to handle glassware. Anyone have experience buying fragile goods from Booth and having them ship it overseas?

>>1615179
ironically the only hololive yt stream ive been able to watch the past 2 days has been Coco's drawing stream

>>1615576
I'm in Japan right now. Nothing is working.

>>1615568
You sound like a chink agitator trying to make them sound more impressive than they actually are

>>1615569
Its fucked for me as well. Nothing works. Who needs to die in YT?

it's not a DDoS you faggots, it's YouTube engineers being Literally Retarded and fucking up their livestream syndication
just use VLC or mpv like anons have been repeating like a broken record now, it's working fine through this method

>>1615543
yeah this China DDOS seems to be a bit of an rrat, youtube was fucking up enough for various news orgs in Australia to report on it, I can't see the antis having enough clout to fuck up the entire asia-pacific youtube servers just for hololive.

Botan's stream seems to be working for me.

>>1615602
Then riddle me this, faggot? What happens if this happens again tomorrow night at these hours? You just HAVE to start thinking it's not YouTube's fault and 100% China's

>>1614888
I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL ENLIST AS SOON AS WW3 BREAKS OUT AND BUILD A FUCKING EFIGY TO YAGOO USING CHINKS THEIR BONES AND ENTRAILS. THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW.

>>1615600
Botan's is working flawlessly so far.

When did the earthquake hit and were any Asia YT servers in that region of Japan? if not i'm def not ruling out the bug menace

"Coco" is even getting hit while Patra works fine...I don't know what kind of eye opener you guys need

>>1615569
here is some artist streamer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSUMvm9xPKg
doesn't work for me as well

>>1615625
Gonna try it with streamlink see if that helps. It was unwatchable the last few minutes on the browser.
Oh, it's finishing now. Seems to be working properly though.

>>1615633
Not working for me at all. I'm in Japan.

>>1615569
it's buffering hard for me

>>1615668
That's actually possible. Which Holos don't live in Kanto? That could explain everything.

Chink ddos rrat seems plausible but Pikamee's stream is also unwatchable for me

>>1615685
streams over anon..

>>1615067
>I'm only pretending to be retarded

>>1615661
Marine also started and it seems fine. Nene steamed earlier without major trouble

>>1615568
>HOW IS IT REMOTELY FUCKING POSSIBLE THAT ITS TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW ALL OF THE HOLOS CANT STREAM/HAD TO CANCEL STREAMS BECAUSE OF YOUTUBE?
As it's been explained it's not just holos.
Haven't checked with the nijiggers whether or not they've been having issues too.
>>1615569
>explain why magical computer box does A sometimes then does B the next
who the fuck knows.
I do know that a small contingent of chink autists are not capable of derailing youtube for a small specific subset of streamers in japan.
The chink government? Probably have that power.
But it's not exactly worth their while unless one of the said autists actually works for the PLA.
And if they were they would've done more shit by now instead of continually failing and being relegated to a mere nuisance.

They are literally spamming this in Aki's chat

会長利益もらったほうがーしてはお得だよね日本の皆やをやめさせるまでイブはに商売はそういった配信を許していたのはカーなわけ、だから全ての因にコにあったしても監督不行き届きは間違いないコめなくも

it's them

>>1615608
>>1615625
>>1615685
https://youtu.be/f46HkxqmV2E
I should've started recording sooner. Only aki's stream was fucked.

>>1615726
They started spamming when she and Kanata appeared on stream. As always.

>>1615708
Can you at least check what you're replying to?

>>1615634
It was fucking up all day for 30 solid hours, if the nga chinks had the ability to fuck up youtube for 30 fucking hours they'd be a fucking global superpower.
Also explain how coco's stream was completely fine if it was a targeted chink attack?

>>1615708
Fucking hell VOD it is for me then

>>1615632
You can't DDOS just some channels.
It's either the entire fucking site, worldwide, which is impossible for anyone but the greatpowers, or nothing.
Chinks are a problem yes, butthey are also impotent which is why they're so angry all the time.

>>1615742
Suisei's stream was fucked too

>>1615726
Chinks are doing a cyberattack on youtube's Japanese data centers during Jap prime time to end hololive and any other Jap vtuber that is being affected is collateral.
We need a final solution to the bug question.

>>1614888
I wonder, if in her deepest, lonliest moments, Aki resents the fans for showing up in such relatively large numbers for special events.
Like, they leave her at 1k viewers every day and only show up when there's a big event.
Like fair-weather friends who only show up for parties.

I wonder if it keeps her up at night.
It keeps ME up night.

>>1615762
>>1615720
My ultimate guess is that there's some kind of networking problem that happens to exist where Covercorp and certain holo's are.

>>1615625
How does YouTube keep fucking up their own code? Embeds literally shit themselves when you change quality. This has been happening since last year.
I would assume that this change coincides when they prevented embeds to play restricted videos without the need of a 18+ verification. I can't believe something so trivial broke embeds.

And now this stupid playback error? How the fuck?

>>1615783
point still stands, only hololivers are affected

>>1615790
Aki and Roboco are my two favorite Holos and I'm pained thinking about this too. I don't think they would resent their own fans at all and I'd feel hurt if that were the case.

i work as a network engineer and i cringe at this entire thread
no chink is DDoSing google datacenters or i'd know about it

>>1615785
>>1615749
>>1615726
Dude I know chinks have become the local boogeyman but what you're saying here is akin to claiming that ISIS has nuclear armed cruise missiles capable of hitting the US, or a group of chimps in Africa suddenly built a working nuclear reactor. It so far beyond any capabilites they've demonstrated so far that its completely ridiculous

>>1615790
Aki's big problem is she rarely plays anything but ARK, and no-one cares about ARK. I also think she might need to avoid streaming at the usual "10pm JST" peak hour where like everyone holo streams in order to get bigger audiences.

>>1615845
t. chang

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN--w_NA6hs
Aki's new song 3DMV

>>1615776
you can DDoS the streamers.

>>1615790
>only show up when there's a big event
>Like fair-weather friends who only show up for parties
You're overthinking way to much.

>>1615790
If she didn't stream garbage I would watch much more often. Her karaokes are great, but I am not sitting through Ark and RPGs

>>1615834
Pochi, patra and chigusa were hit by it too off the top of my head, also it seems to be region limited. I had no problems accessing suisei's stream but appearently it was fucking up real bad for the nips

>>1615790
>what are vods
some people can't make the streams
still, enough make the streams for every other holo so you still have a point and I refuse to believe that every single aki fan is in some diametrically opposite timezone.

>>1615896
but they literally weren't?? you can check the VODs yourself, Aki was uploading fine
it was a syndication fuckup

>>1615845
>m-muh dad werks at giggle
and my fist works its way up your shit-leaking asshole you dumbcunt

>>1615896
If it was a problem with the streamers they wouldn't be able to start the stream at all, not to mention it'd be a worldwide phenomenon and not limited to region
Anyway watch Aki's music video

>>1615883
Ironically, she gets a lot of live viewers playing ARK lol.

>>1615945
>>1615885
i will have a good laugh at all of you when google releases their statement/postmortem

>Aki's stream is fucked
>Coco's roommates is just fine
Chang...

>>1615845
bug hands typed this

Aki's stream was fucked for me but Botan's is working fine on a Taiwanese Laptop.

>>1615883
Aki’s schedule does seem awkward. And when it’s not, she’s playing a debuff game or in weak collabs. I dont think shes even done a JST morning stream lately for the overseas crowd

>>1615790
>Like, they leave her at 1k viewers every day and only show up when there's a big event
She regularly gets 3k live viewers and if you think that is bad you need to poke your head out of the hololive bubble more.

How horny and sexually frustrated do you think Aki must be right now? Imagine being an ordinary housewife who somehow sees an ad for a new part-time job called "virtual youtuber," applies on a whim because more purse money sounds nice, and then actually gets the position. When she actually starts her new job, she discovers that she's become the object of attention and desire from literally hundreds of thousands of men, some of whom are probably young enough to be her son.

>>1615973
the only postmortem is the one the coroner will sign for your dearly departed anus, backroom boy (in every sense)

>>1616093
I don't know about aki, but Matsuri has low self esteem and told her fans that she's OK with all the lusting after her. So there's a real possibility she gets off from it.
I wouldn't be surprised if others do too and just aren't so open about it because the company is full of menhera fujos.

>>1616003
>>1615883
Do you think she's aware that her playing ark 24/7 is as much of repellent as how others play solely apex? Does she know? If she does, does she just not care and is content with how things are now? (has anyone ever dared ask her?
I mean it's one thing to jump on the latest permissions bandwagon that attracts viewers like flies to rubbish like underfail, but it's also another to stagnate by playing the same thing over and over.
MC is sort of neutral as it's basically a mass collab engine in a way ark isn't so I don't count it.

>>1616183
I think Mel truly (I mean physically) gets off on this in a sort of passive, benign succubus-like fashion.
She'd have to be able to do what she does (talking about her roommate's body of work as well as Mel's herself).
Haatochama probably does as well since she's still a confused bundle of teenage hormones and probably has never had sex considering the girls school she went to in oz and how she wasn't exactly one of the clique popular girls that actually had bfs from another school.

>>1616194
Ark is also good for a mass collab. Big challenges look awesome like last years big dino hunt where Choco was MVP. The problem lies in the grind and the fact that Coco is in collabjail so they wont go all in Ark yet

>>1616194
>If she does, does she just not care and is content with how things are now?
It's almost certainly this. Aki doesn't chase trends at all and seemingly just uses her activities as a vtuber as a break from the mundane days of her other job as a wife and mother.

>>1616343
>and the fact that Coco is in collabjail
But she's collabed in other streams just fine, just not with EN since that's definitely not allowed by management. MC, her maymay reviews etc.
Why would ark be treated any differently?

>>1616419
>her other job as a wife and mother.

>what does your mother do little kentaro-kun?
>she pretends to be highschool aged half-elf anime girl online so that foreign weirdos give her money for playing trash games and singing the occasional song all so that they can imagine what it's like having a gf or anyone at all even that cares about them instead of dying alone eaten by cats and rrats
whatever puts rice on the table i guess

>>1616093
I believe she had a tag for ero art for a long time now. So I don't know about the "ordinary" housewife part.

>>1616554
You're not far from the mark. It's because that's the perception of her job that Aki said her mother didn't approve of it for the longest time.

>>1616554
>what does your mother do little kentaro-kun?
Is that a question japs genuinely ask?
I never got asked about my mom ever, I guessed most people assumed she's just a housewife as I do with other people.

>>1616554
>And tell your mom to do more ASMR streams if she wants to see any more akasupas or memberships from us!

>>1616751
I'm sure as a very capitalist society, like America, the general assumption must be that both parents work, except perhaps in the rural areas.

>>1616554
>Later that day little kentaro's friend turned on Aki's stream and busted his first nut to it

YOUTUBE HATE
NOW THEYRE TARGETING MIKOS STREAM
FUCK YOU NGA

>>1614888
EOP whore

Hololive has absolutely exploded in popularity since EN started and the Chinese branch got shuttered. Why do Chinese people think their market is that valuable when they were there before Western markets yet still couldn't muster a fraction of their viewership or revenue?

>>1617886
They're literally brainwashed their entire life 24/7 starting from preschool into believing China is flawless and the CCP can do no wrong.

>>1615869
>boogeyman
ok chang

>>1615790
>they leave her at 1k viewers
nonsense

>>1617242
I've seen more catering from Noel to EOPs in the past week with her English streams than I've seen Aki give in months.

Aki just has a weird schedule where she often just takes 2-3 days off

>>1615869
>local boogeyman

the fuck is this, Chink insect cretin

>>1623461
She doesn't stream everyday but she's definitely been pretty consistent until recently. I think she has just been taking time off streaming because of practices and lessons. I expect after today, we will have a more consistent streaming schedule as before.

>>1615393
What the fuck are Hololive hours, other streamers are streaming all the time when Hololive streamers are

Is this how birthday streams usually go? It felt so short. I was expecting more guests like Roboco and Luna. Or Watame.

>>1617006
>the general assumption must be that both parents work, except perhaps in the rural areas.
Funnily enough the general assumption when a women gets pregnant in white collar Japan is that she quits the workforce to focus on child rearing. Children and their proper upbringing being of utmost importance to any sane society that doesn't let tv or youtube raise their kids accompanied by fastfood or tv dinners.
Even women that want to continue working through the manageable parts of their pregnancy are usually pressured to stop. It a reason why companies may be reluctant to take on a female worker of child rearing age as it's assumed that once she marries and gets pregnant she'll have to leave. Presumably once they get ripe enough management assumes they're a foregone christmas cake and that there's no longer any worry about them eggs getting cooked. Fathers on the other hand are expected to work themselves literally to death. They've even come up with a word for it. They never see their kids and spend their lives as salaryman drones.
This is the tradeoff, and hence why mothers are so important as they're the ones that are going to have more actual time contact with their children.
This is one of the many reasons why japanese don't have many, or any, kids when they're in japan; it's just too much.
However I've noticed a strange phenomena in the asian country I'm in with, pre-wuflu, the largest Japanese working population (families) outside japan. The japanese here seem to have 3 kids each. They're happier, and totally different compared with when they're back in Japan.
I was working with a guy who fronted a Japanese firm my company was interested in doing business with and had to meet him quite often. Amiable guy, lots of fun. Went drinking every night in the japanese part of town.
Months later I met him in Japan and he was like a completely different person. Like a robot. Mind you his superiors were present but it was like a switch was flipped. I've heard similar accounts from people that have worked with Japanese outside of, and then within Japan and they've noticed the same thing. The manager of a firm my father worked with was desperately trying to keep his family here rather than return to Japan when his term was up as he knew his kids wouldn't have the same overwhelming societal pressures here than back in Japan.
It's not like they went full native mind, they have their own schools, their own shops, their own barbers and bars and restaurants. They've crafted their own little Japanese microcosm where they can be comfortable but without the pressures of actual Japan.

>>1631491
Oh and another funny thing I've noticed about Japanese mothers here compared with virtually every single other kind of expat mother: they, and only they, raise their kids. Everyone else avails themselves of the cheap labour and has a nanny. Not the Japanese. No one is raising their kids but them.
