So no more richii city sponsors then
Also, you know, it's like the saying, if a messy desk is the sign of a messy mind then an empty desk is the sign of what?
Don't throw my own art back at me, that was one time.
I guarantee you all these laws designed to clamp down on exploitative mobile games will end up catching other shit in the crossfire, while leaving loopholes the worst offenders will take advantage of.
This is entirely possible. Would be a similar strategy to the casino sites sponsoring BossmanJack, it baits people into thinking they can be more successful, and it encourages people to see "at least I didn't fuck up as much as that guy" as a silver lining.Edit: this is a psyop to make people feel less guilty about spending $100/week.
The age of the corpo vtuber is dying. The juggernaut that is Cover is slowly crumbling. It isn't to say that it'll tank like countless other companies have, but it's no longer a bulletproof organization. After Selen and Ame, there's a vibe shift that's basically letting everyone know, "Hey, if you're big enough, you can make it on your own as an indie."I'll be honest I've started feeling "VTuber burnout" myself. I think the fact that it's no longer 2020 in addition to all the smaller companies imploding and the larger companies ACCELERATING + graduations left and right has left me kind of feeling lost. I mean, this was something that kinda happened with the first wave of vtubers i.e. Kizuna Ai and their bunch, they all kinda burned out due to overexposure and getting too big for their britches (plus their companies being scummy). The streamer wave that followed was no doubt the big reason vtubing came back in a major way and it lasted until... basically last year? Last year really felt like a major turning point. Of course the largest turning point was probably Selen's graduation, but it just kinda kept going and going until Ame's graduation and that was probably the last time I personally was invested in Hololive. Now it just feels so empty, like there's no point in following them and they're chasing out all of the people who aren't 100% totally willing to be the big Japanese idol they expect people to be. It's really cool that they're still doing stuff and whatever but it just makes me feel sad not seeing my oshi having fun alongside them.
Not to mention, solo vtubing is a very different experience and is no different from bog-standard streamers which, frankly, have never interested me. The unique format of Vtubing, especially with Hololive (set games for a set amount of 3-ish hours, consistent live schedule, consistency in general, singing, dancing, etc) is part of the reason I genuinely loved it. Nowadays the only vtuber I watch is basically just Pippa, though I wanna branch out to more of Phase in general.
This is what bothers me. Frankly, normal streamers suck. I didn't watch vtubers to watch another stupid streamer, I watched them to have the unique fusion of streamer and idol. It feels like nobody whose a fan of indies actually understands that perspective.Unfortunately, that also means some of the standards for vtubers will become more lax. Vtubers are basically normal streamers with an avatar instead of a face cam now.
Don't you love Harines?>people suggesting she stream mobile gacha game storyline before finishing Deus Ex
