Pippa is dispensing very good advice and encouragement (and chastisement), and the "its soo expensive and hard to succeed and its not fair" vtweeters -are- entitled and lazy by and large, AND even Pippa knows that there are forces which promote those who take the ticket and sell their souls (by some degree or another) and which punish those who are natural competitors especially if they have talent or something that threatens them.
This is reflected in what's happening right now with the farms. Vtubing is new/niche enough and Japanese enough that it isn't necessarily as dominated by those forces, but even still you get hints of it if you pay attention. People can still succeed if they work their asses off in the field of vtubing, and as general advice saying "the people at the top got their purely through hard work and quality" does not apply to our world in its current state.
Just because the game is rigged, even if it seems hopeless, you should still fight and do your best because it is the right thing to do, and because you just might find a way to adapt to and/or bypass the ticket-taker system.
