You can tell the forum has nothing better to discuss when we go on for pages and pages questioning why someone DOESN'T get talked about anymore.
YouTube has released a Culture and Trends report about virtual creators, including Virtual Youtubers. [PDF]
It's now official that the Annoying Orange isn't part of the conversation.

I also came across the VTuber board on a Vocaloid forum a while ago.
It's just a hololive graduation/termination notice board by now. It's a threadsplitter's dream with all the threads with usually no replies! Over half of the threads are from 2018 to 2019, making it somewhat of an accessible time capsule in a way 4chan and especially Reddit aren't.

this isn't the case because this shit lives off high volume, low margin sales. if you consider the 10% off upfront and the creator comission (10%?) that's a sizealble chunk of the margins. But as the seller you don't do anything and let the creator work their ass off selling your product. As long as rin can prove she has the consumers to push numbers any of these companies will take her. its very hands off marketing. it's like that custom pc builder company that went under because he publicly spoke about how the incentive model works.
One part of the calculation of a sponsor working out a brand deal is numbers, and they can even work out sponsorship deals with three views. I'm sure Rin is fine in that regard. Another part of the calculation is asking, how have previous sponsorships deals went? Have they been successful? And if they've been terminated, why have they been terminated?

Now, let's say you are a company that has deals with multiple vtubers to sell your product as their merch. Are you really going to take a chance on Rin when she's already shown that she'll try to cause you drama if she doesn't agree with every single other person that your company works out a deal with? I sure wouldn't. Rin is maybe a low four-view. There's plenty of low four-views that will sell merch that won't try to ruin your company because they don't agree with the views of one or two contractors you've hired.

Why did they feel the need to introduce some bullshit terminology nobody uses.

I don't mind the idea of splitting the medium and culture into two different things via the use of new terms but I don't think youtube properly understood what vtubers are.

Also the focus on "no gatekeeping" rubs me the wrong way.

You guys making promocodes a much bigger deal than they actually are. They are not sponsorships, it's a wrong term to use. Low 2views can get a funny powder promocode. I bet even artists on twitter can get one too if they ask. And company likely won't even bother to remove your code just because you don't sell shit.

Interesting how they included Gorillaz and completely forgot PNGtubers existence.

could be the artist behind the model... the 1st time that vtuber published a video was in august and the voice is apparently the same... could also be someone close to said artist
