/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

[Anonymous No.]

I was thinking about the pikamee thing, the whole quitting and why she did it. After spending a few years lurking several different social groups and media that call themselves fans, of seeing comments and looking into the most disturbing posters/viewers, following some dramas and talks being made when something big is happening, following the antis and trolls users and dealing with monetization myself I found this answer to be satisfactory.

Imagine that you have 100 fans and all them are from /vt/. You would get some good people if you are lucky but its undeniable that most of your fans would be a pieces of shit zoomers that would drop you the instant they find something better to do. So knowing this and having to interact with these mostly zoomers every week just to keep going, how far would you be able to go?

Even if you like the few good people of that 100 users thing, would you able to continue smiling and having fun if 98 of those were just terrible people throwing insults at you in every stream? What if it was 96%, 84%, 50% of all users that were bad people instead? Would you still find streaming fun if you had to babysit 50 adults just to have fun with the other 50?

How many bad apples do we need to spoil the bunch?

Doing anything for other people (doesn’t matter if its monetized of not) ends up that way, how much effort and satisfaction you can really have if everything you do is consumed by mostly retarded people?

Chat is a result of the streamer. But it's not about your approval or disapproval. Attention is what people truly crave, good or bad. Not understanding this is what dooms you.
If you always criticize rude people, you'll have nothing but rude people.
If you always criticize backseaters, you'll have nothing but backseaters.
If you always acknowledge people who praise you, you'll have nothing but praise.
Inside your chat there are many wolves. Which ones do you choose to feed?

You can't be serious thinking people have any have any control of the people that decides to watch them. A few changes of a youtube algorithm or a twitter shitpost made about them can just overflow with 5 times the amount of regulars views you have. It doesn't matter the amount of care you put on your fanbase, even if they are all good viewers they will not even be a 1/4 of the total commenters.

Streamers absolutely do. There's a reason cohhcarnage's chat, for example, does not remotely resemble forsen's. It simply requires you to actually have control over your own behavior, your own tongue, and know what you want to nurture. Which, admittedly, is a tall order for many streamers who thrive off blurting the first stupid thing that comes to mind.
