/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>9526048
Not as much since I discovered this board

>>9526048
Enjoy?

>>9526048
Not as much, vt ruined vtubers for me.

>>9526048
Not when I found out they are actually women

>>9526048
watch different chuubas now but the experience mostly the same. background noise with occasional funny moments

>>9526068
>>9526102
Just stop coming here? if you let some schizos ruin your enjoyment thats on you. in the case you still want to use this board just stick to generals everything outside of it isnt even worth checking.

>>9526048
I enjoy them more each day.

The fact is less esoteric nowadays helped.

>>9526048
Not even close. But now I just pretend I do so I don't feel empty.

>>9526048
I do, the difference is I watch much more Nijisanji and barely any Hololive nowadays even though Hololive got me into vtubers.

I find watching other Chuubas aside from Gura exhausting nowadays, except maybe for the occassional karaoke streams.
But I enjoy Vtubers more ever since I joined this board because it's easy to farms for (you)s here

>>9526048
Still enjoy them but I'm no longer obsessed with them. I don't bother keeping up with the drama or the numbers. I just watch whoever I like and whenever I like nowadays.

>>9526048
Well ITS rare to get recent nijisanji translater video, so i can only enjoy then 2-4 time a month, so i don't really burnout yet by this

>>9526048
>Do you still enjoy vtubers as much as you did when you first got into them?
No

Why or why not?
I'm not alone in bed anymore.

Not really. I got super into vtubers and had a long honeymoon phase around December 2019.

I spread myself too thin trying to follow waaaaay too many vtubers and almost all the holo girls.

I burned myself out and only watch a few chuubaa now, mostly indies and 1-2 from holo and niji

>>9526250
esl retard

>>9526048
No. I enjoy them even more

>>9526048
I thought vtubers were funny distractions but ultimately lost interest in them. Then I branched out to all the small companies and indies and i'm having so much fun now that it made me realize that Hololive was just boring and it wasnt just me. Now I love vtubers and /vt/.

Can't say I enjoy them as much as I used to, but I still enjoy watching some streams or clips occasionally.

>>9526048
No. I used to love them, watch everyday, even paid concert ticket for friends who couldn't afford to watch Hololive 2nd fes. I was a full-on idol otaku.
Then I realized I was gachikoi, went in a depression phase and after getting out of it, I realized 90% of the content they provide is shit if you aren't into the girl. Too much Minecraft, some really objectively uninteresting stuff like Kanata buying a new clock, Watame 10h superchat reading...etc
I started watching vtuber for their video game playthrough and I'm back to it, but since most of them don't really play new games, I mostly watch Pekora now.

I don't enjoy the huuuuge ones anymore, but have fallen in love with sub 100 viewers chuubas. They're a bit less of trend chasers and can actually interact with chat.

>>9526048
Yes and no, I got into Vtubers with Hololive but never truly enjoyed them and more often than not found myself going back to the content I watched prior, but eventually I branched out and started to enjoy my time way more than I did before, nowadays I still enjoy vtubers quite a lot, certainly more than I did when I first started, but not as much as when I started branching out, I have become aware of many things that made enjoy them more every day but I have also discovered many that dissapointed me greatly and killed a good deal of my enjoyment (this board played a good part in those things, for which I'm sure wether I wish I never found this shithole or be thankful that I did).

>>9526048
>Areolae too small

>>9528022
They're each as big as a standard wall clock and the left nipple rotates as a minute hand and the right nipple rotates as an hour hand.

I don't because Roa-chan is still on indefinite hiatus

>>9526048
Yeah, because I stopped wathcing boring ass corpo VTubers which all plays the same shit and do the exact same type of content.

>>9526585
Homo

>>9526048
More because Nijisanji EN happened and is way better than Hololive ever was.

>>9526048
>Do you still enjoy vtubers as much as you did
Yes, but I enjoy different vtubers than I did when I first got into it.
I got into it through hololive like most, but I have since moved on upon realization that there are better alternatives in the english speaking sphere.

>>9526048
I'm not as relentlessly obsessed with vtubers as a whole, but I like the few I actually watch more now

>>9526048
No.
Too much pandering to reddit sensibilities.

>>9526048
Not really, So much bullshit happened to Hololive (and the places /here/ discussing it) that it stopped being the roleplayed K-On that it used to be for me and I can't even get hyped about it anymore. My indie oshi graduated into the void.
It's not all bad though, I've been watching smaller companies and found a few vtubers that I like. Ina and Polka are still making good solo content. One of the indies I followed back in the day got into a big company and I'm getting to live the idolfag's dream.
I am still looking for that vtuber that just "hits the spot", you know?

>>9526048
I enjoy them more, my oshi debuted relatively recently and at first I had some noise sensitivity issues because I sat in my room in complete silence all day beforehand

>>9526048
When I first got into them, there was just Kizuna AI, so actually having an infinite supply to choose from that speak a language I understand is nice now.

They're still a passing interest. I'll watch a few clips or a stream if I can catch one live. I enjoy the fanart of their avatars, more. Also like listening to thier song covers.

Watching them play video games are boring

I want Kronii to reluctantly jerk me off so I go back to work

>>9526048
I do, I also learned to hate most Chinese or at least mainly the one who are still in China.

Yes, ever since I migrated to NijiEN I've been enjoying vtubing more than ever. I still make time for my kamioshi Pekora but aside from her I barely ever watch Holos anymore.

>>9526048
Not as much, because they're not a funny curiosity anymore.
Kronii's tits' live2D animation is a next level work of art though.

>>9526048
I know anons are not replying to these posts but I know some will read mine, as I did for others.
I started watching holotubers in December 2019 and I watched them a lot for more than half a year, but when Aloe graduated I felt like I woke up from a dream, even though I didn't care much about Aloe.
It woke me up in a sense that these girls are real and not everything can be a dream. Later we had Coco's drama and other graduations that just made it worse.
Now I watch mostly NijiEN and indies. They are helping me to remember how fun it is watching vtubers.

>>9526048
I enjoy them even more now and especially since I started coming to this board.

I rarely watch streams and when I do it’s only for games I’m interested in. When I do watch I’m still as into it as ever but I just started watching every stream for whatever I would burn out quick surely.

>>9526048
I gave up on Cover when that faggot meme CEO drove Coco out. Now I enjoy Kson and NijiEN. But i'll always like Pekora regardless.

>>9526048
No, I accidentally touch grass.

>>9526048
Yeah, just as much. The novelty is gone but the personalities and presentation are better than they started

>>9526068
You don't get anything of the vtubers here, you just get drama and gossip from people chasing that. The only times worth following a thread here are when a chuuba's stream is on

>>9526048
didn't read just came to coom at this pic have a bump

>>9528022
No such thing.

I became numb and disillusioned with them with all the talk of boyfriends recently. It made me think that hololive is not truly where their heart lies.

>>9538820
If you leave /vt/ all that boyfriend talk goes away.

>>9526048
Yes, because I actually searched for vtubers whose content I would consistently enjoy instead of sticking with entry-level vtubers and refusing to branch out.

>>9526048
I got kind of disillusioned when C*co was at her worst in the twilight days and then fucked off to become a camwhore and killed the fairytale of Hololive being a big perfect family.

>>9526048
I enjoy them or else I wouldn't watch any at all but I wouldn't say I love them as much as I used to. It hasn't been a constant feeling, more like peaks of interest followed by realizing I need to slow down or distance myself. I've been around since the early AI days and even helped some homegrown tubers but in the end I always go back to stopping myself and watching two or three vtubers only.

For Hololive, not really. Ever since Coco left I haven't really been fully interested with them anymore. I guess the only ones that are keeping me around are Sora, Amelia and Kronii, but I'm not even sure how long that will last, since their recent games don't really interest me.

I have recently tried watching some of the smaller groups like Phase Connect, Prism, and Kawaii though. They may not have the same "magic" as Hololive, but there's some weird comfort in watching them sometimes.

Or I dunno, maybe I'm just bored of the current state of VTubers at the moment. I hope some fresh new face comes around and blows Hololive and Niji out of the water or something.

Yes but I took a big break until very recently.

>>9526048
Not much anymore, since my pandemic induced vacation ended and I don't have the time to be as invested anymore. Also the novelty just wears off with time, nothing strange about it

>>9526048
No, my first months were magical with asacoco

VTubers are weird, since at their core, they're just streamers like anyone else.
Very few actually take advantage of having an avatar.
For corpos I got bored with most of them fast, since I'm often a game-first type of person.
With indies it's slim pickings and it's hard to find ones that don't copy Hololive.
I'd say I equally watch normal streamers and VTubers.

>>9526048
just discovered vtubers and autism drive me to find out what she looked like IRL. I’ve made a terrible mistake

>>9526048
literal vtuber fatigue
I only watch clips now

>>9542672
It's hard not to be curious but it doesn't add anything to the experience really

>>9526048
No, but only because my oshi turned up her menhera retardation up to 11 and it's taking a toll on me. I won't stop watching because I respect her and she's gotten me through a lot, but if I didn't give a shit I would have left a while and.

>>9543460
Who?

>>9526048
Yes but only after leaving the Hololive bubble and branching out, finding vtubers that are doing it because they enjoy vtubers and streaming without focusing on chasing gachikois or numbers.

maybe

If you're not in it for the parasocial autism or the numberfagging, then vtubers are bound to get tiring fast once the memes and rrats become too repetitive and uninspired. It was always a market structured around people having oshis and/or becoming gachikoi because that's the only edge they have on average streamers. It's just easier to become attached to somebody behind an anime avatar. Once the novelty wears off, there's no reason to watch them over normal streamers if you're not going to become emotionally involved somehow, be it going full gosling or just getting over-hyped about numbers. It's fine if you don't care, just move on.

>>9526048
I tend to binge on them for a few weeks, then leave for a month or two and let the cycle repeat.

>>9526048
>enjoy
never, but I find this shit absolutely hilarious. just another weird hiccup of a society going down the shitter, a little bit more every day.

>>9526048
I mostly watch clips or highlights from a whole bunch of translators/clippers. Maybe I'll put an EN stream as background noise every now and again, or a JP stream if it's for played by one of the chuubas I follow for a game I want to watch.

Some days have good content, others are pretty dry. I still enjoy watching to keep up with what's happening with the girls.

>>9548511
how many people here watch normal streamers anyway? I guess Vshojo fanbase will have a big overlap but for me I've only ever watched Previously Recorded streams because Rich Evans was in it, I feel like a lot of hololive (and I guess nijisanji/other JP chuubas) are similar, that's why outside collabs get people rallied up, not really sure if parasocial aspect is something unique to chuubas certainly 3DPD twitch thot's had it before but what they offered just wasn't too attractive for most people here.

I stopped actively watching Hololive vtubers, I mostly just watch clips now. Groomable JP Indies are my new obsession.

>>9526705
Has there ever been a more forced meme on 4chan in recent memory than -oomers?
They're all forced reddit man shit.

>>9526048
The magic has worn off a little, sure, but its the best daily fix for cute girls.

>>9537756
>>9526234
I honestly miss good old days of /hlg/ on /jp/ when you had those super active threads with their own share of schizos and bait but more under control and a chuuba newfag could actually learn a lot of stuff, VT is all over the place and it feels like half of the threads are bait that people keep falling into again and again.

I enjoy them more. The novelty does wear off, but I don't find it a bad thing that I'm no longer getting great enjoyment from random noises. The fact that I'm now able to actually follow the streams and enjoy their commentary without having to rely on subtitled clips is really cool, and I wouldn't have reached this point without getting into vtubers.
Probably helps that my favorite part of it is the music, and this part is always getting better, at least to my tastes.
And definitely helps that I'm madly in love with my oshi, who I didn't start watching until late last year.

>>9526068
honestly this, i come here for both honest and unfiltered opinions. but the schizos ruin it, i visit discord servers but its so heavily moderated that even saying a bit of speculation gives you a warning. ive learned to not visit threads during downtime where a chuuba isnt streaming and to stay in my oshi's general instead. also hiding garbage threads seems to help a lot.

>>9526048
I feel like I've already seen the best of the best, so it's hard to be impressed by a new chuuba I find, as well as finding joy in the ones I first discovered and enjoyed. honestly I just think they need to play more interesting games to keep me hooked.

Bump 4 tits

>>9526068
Same, now I know literally every vtuber is a whore or retarded

>>9568408
You let yourself beleeb the rrats anon. You've become a product of schizo ramblings

>>9526048
No. I miss the days where I didn't know anything about their roommates, when there was no drama. Now Vtubers are just background noise and masturbation material.

anyone here knows japanese

I never really got into them.
I really only watch Ame, Botan, Finana, and Pomu. I'll occasionally watch karaoke stream and Ina's art streams. But that's about it.

>>9526048
I’d watch almost anyone in hololive before, but recently I only really watch my oshi.

>>9526048
I think in some ways I like them more (Kiara, Sana, Muh indyfu Xuilan, Pomu, Selen keep me constantly happy and entertained) but it's hard to get excited for somethings in the same way (korone and Rushia who I used to love I've almost completely phased out of my life since they have basically one thing going for them and I'm Japanese is bad).

I've weirdly enough gotten better at seeing them as characters as time goes on.

>>9526048
I used to watch a lot of vtubers, both streams, and clips but I got bored eventually so I just keep up with my oshi now. I still watch clips of other vtubers here and there tho.

>>9526048
i like to groom 2 view indies im currently in DM's with two they dont go to reddit let alone 4chan so im comfortable in saying this

>>9526048
I throw Reine on when I have nothing better to do. Aside from that, they're just shitposting fodder.

>>9526048
So many nijien answers and yet they're reclining, it doesn't make any sense kek

>>9560032
>i come here for both honest and unfiltered opinions
It's an easy mistake to make. People assume "not hugbox = more honest" for some reason.

>>9526048
Yes

At first i didnt like them because they were cringe anime puppets but then they grew into me, only a selected few tho... The only human ones

Pekola,Irys,Ina... its all about that self-aware feeling+ motivation behave like a human while pursuing a goal/s

>>9526048
I think people expect the council to all be as good as myth is right now, even though they just all started. I'd say this is where a lot of the agitated posters are coming from.

>>9584674
It has nothing to do with council or anything from the present in particular for that matter. People having been proclaiming that vtubers are getting stale for over a year now, and they'll keep doing it for however long vtubers are still a thing.

>>9574545
i'm just being curious here, what's your goal with this, you expect to fuck them irl? i know i sound like a glowie but im just dumb

>>9526048
I'm enjoying them a lot more since I branched out from what originally got me into vtubers

>>9540316
Unironically this

2017-2018 was so fucking fun that I'm stuck with vtubers forever, probably. If you only got into them much later because of the funny scatman or nigger clip you missed out on a lot.

>>9587032
Hololive became too big, everyone is afraid to collab with them. I miss the time when they focus on streaming instead of the idol stuff

No but I still enjoy them as much as I did 6 months into watching them. Yes some of the best streams are passed and we've lost good vtubers but there's always someone else out there putting out high quality stuff.

>>9588689
Anon, streaming is still like 95% of their output.

I’m starting to understand why people like them so much. I like to have Gura or Ina up as background noise while I work.The artwork that gets made is pretty neat too. That’s about as far as my interest goes. I don’t interact with the pitiful fanbase at all.

>>9591393
Streaming and "doing idol stuff" is not exclusive. I'm talking about singing, record songs, voice pack, GFE, content around themselves, cooking, dance lessons...etc what they call "idol activity".
Also, if you watched Kanata's stream about their schedules, you'd know streaming is sometime less than half than what they do, it's nowhere near 95%.
They are focusing on their idol activity now because they have more famous, it opened more opportunities, things they couldn't do before. Sui-chan said she had so much people asking for her that she had to refuses some or she wouldn't sleep.

Before that, the "people who call them" were not studios, company, tv...etc but other vtubers, so they had more collabs on stream.

>>9578145
normalfags don't watch them, more news at 11

I enjoy them more but I wish I was hardcore into them in 2019, I was a clipfag only until winter 2020.

>>9591930
>I don’t interact with the pitiful fanbase at all. [posted to /vt/]
Anon... I..

>>9526048
I find them boring, their content uninspiring and their voices offputting. I mostly just watch the community for entertainment

>>9526048
damn how did she hurt her nipples?

>>9601742
I bit down a little too hard

>>9601438
The same, but I watch them to practice my Japanese.

>>9526048
I don't even watch vtubers anymore, one day I woke up and I found them boring.

>>9526048
More or less, yeah. I've gotten sick of following the majority of corporate vtubers though, where I used to closely follow song releases and merch announcements and whatnot. Now I just watch the same handful of streamers, if they weren't vtubers I would probably enjoy them just as much. But the ones I do consistently watch, I'd say I enjoy a lot more than any vtubers I tried watching when I first learned about then, so it evens out.

My average enjoyment has only increased over time.
Learning more about the personalities I know, discovering new ones, and developing a better understanding of the meta has allowed me to select progressively higher quality content.
It seems like some anons in this thread could benefit from expanding their horizons.

>>9604471
There are some indies and smaller groups I like to watch occasionally and it feels nice to root for them, but consistently seeing people act like hipster pricks when talking about how they watch indies doesn't really motivate me to look for more.

>>9604894
That's true, but it doesn't even have to be indies or small groups. For me it's mainly been Nijis that I didn't know before, and lately various Apex vtubers somehow (don't care for the game but still some good stuff from that scene).
That being said, I guess there's still some of those hipster types for anything less popular than Holos but that can't be helped.

>>9584963
forever until the next level of anime streamer comes along
