On the subject of r/hololive vs. /vt/, I'd have to agree I'd take the Reddit page over /vt/...
For a time r/Hololive felt better than your average Reddit page since it was just folks having fun and being happy about something as opposed to sucking off egos for Reddit gold. While the subreddit did get more obnoxious over time it just feels like a harmless little clubhouse where people are enjoying the thing they love. I can't say I'm terribly bothered by people just having fun, even if it is way too sanitized and moderated for my tastes. No one's spreading rumors, rallying crusades, or anything stupid like that. They're just posting memes and laughing at the same jokes amongst each other. It's fine.
Also the fact they vocally reject unicorn shit is a plus.
/vt/ on the other hand is just psychopathic. It's a feedback loop of unhealthy people creating an unhealthy environment making themselves even more unhealthy. You can't trust a damn word that comes out of there and it's viewed by pretty much everyone as some kind of schizo quarantine. People don't talk about r/hololive "breaking containment" like they do /vt/. /vt/ is like a chimera of everything that's shit within VTuber culture for a reason.
I'll take harmless cringe over personality disorders any day.
