I'm just fucking sick of this shit now. We're at the point where people who've grown up seeing retweets as currency are starting their own businesses and all they know is how to get social media arsepats rather than to create anything sustainable in the long term, and it's only going to get worse as these vtubers who buy into it keep reciting all their talking points about IP ownership and talent freedom and transparency.
I despise virtue signalling. I especially despise virtue signalling when it frames your low aspirations as preferable to more ambitious organisations; if they're not taking cuts of Twitch subs and donations they're presumably only eating into merch and sponsorships, so realistically they're never gonna be able to fund more than just some guy to email sponsors for you because you can't be arsed to do it yourself.
