I agree completely, and pretty much lines up with my blogpost edit before, but I'm pretty sure she still feels this way. One of the things I could see her focusing on is not wanting to feel like she's forcing old members of the community still around to pay to interact with her, alongside still having poorbrain might make her worry about the people left out purely cause they don't have the income.I understand why she didn't do it in the past. She was a 2view and didn't want to exclude anyone in her chat.
I thought about this while writing my post but she has so many members, I don't know if it would help all that much. Someone else here mentioned that a lot of her members are faggots, too, and it would do little to improve the atmosphere.I'd just like to give my 2 schizo cents here too.
I've pointed out sort of a band-aid fix for this within your post, Which is; She honestly should consider starting to do regular-ish membership-only streams. All of her coworkers in Phase Connect do it AFAIK (my source is that other than Pippa I'm only membered to 2 other girls within Phase, which they all do members-only chats and gaming sessions etc. Hell, it's basically done by the majority of vtubers in Hololive/Nijisanji/etc to do membership streams to get closer with people that support you on a monthly basis and filter out the noise of regular streams). I understand why she didn't do it in the past. She was a 2view and didn't want to exclude anyone in her chat. Though, I feel like at this point if she wants less fucking retarded chatters and to try and mend that sort of bond her long time viewers have with her (and miss). She will have to bite the bullet and should consider doing actual membership-only streams. It won't filter absolutely every retard in her chat, but it will filter out enough to be a mildly better environment for both parties (her and chat).
You and I both know that'll never happen.She's going to burn out!
It has before and she's talked about it. What do you mean?You and I both know that'll never happen.
I should've have stuck with saying she'll never let that happen. because of what else she'd do if it does.It has before and she's talked about it. What do you mean?
go on break come back with new stories and ideasI should've have stuck with she'll never let that happen. because of what else she'd do if it does.
Chat being annoying and spamming the same jokes is a direct consequence to growing in size as a streamer and just letting people step over boundaries without having mods deal with them. What I'm wondering is how much will Pippa enjoy streaming if she is totally indifferent, at best, towards her audience.Last edit (I need sleep): To sorta wrap this whole thing up, I think she needs to decide on something, if she wants to try and get that smaller community back at the cost of some of her income, she needs to filter out whatever part of it she doesn't want around and lose her numberfagging habits. If she's willing to sacrifice her closer community and her reliance on it for the growth and stability, she needs to de-person chat, filtering anyone that would run off (me and some others I'm sure) and go for the generic fleshtuber route of handling chat, cause trying to balance between the two is only gonna drive her and the viewers wild after a while, and would only end poorly.
Wouldn't do shit, the worst retardation comes from the members.I'd just like to give my 2 schizo cents here too.

/pcg/ is riddled with people who think pippa belongs to them/owes them everything because they used to watch her when she was less popular. Probably fairly normal considering why vtubers are popular in the first place. It's also why I don't think that /vt/ is a good source of feedback for streamers. Some stuff is obvious insanity that you can safely discard, but if people start sperging out like the threads posted earlier, it will be difficult to keep it all in perspective. Especially when the feedback stems from a bunch of neckbeards with barely any social prowess to begin with, which is clear from how offended they are that pippa would rather play with people on voice than with them.Going back a bit I think this is why I find criticism from /pcg/ to be painfully obnoxious: I do not like that genuinely fair points some people are making (her staying up all night then being tired on stream etc.) seem to get equal representation to "she's actually cucking (You) with uwu, stay mad pipnigs"-tier """criticism""". I also dislike how possessive a lot of it comes off as; she is allowed to spend time away from her chat playing games with her friends. Everyone does this, it's good to have a healthy work/life balance, the only difference here is people can actually track when she's playing the Mahjong game.
This is what I miss. We're lucky if we get one karaoke a month, and when is the last time she has done anything with viewers that wasn't jong? Like the MMO streams she used to do (I am not just saying this because I desperately want an osrs stream, I swear) or the yubicraft streams. Pretty much all of her interaction with her community at this point is arguing with them over superchats. I am also frustrated with chat coddling her. It feels like you can't give honest criticism because of a whole host of reasons. She closed maros, superchats aren't really the right place for actual criticism. She most likely doesn't read this thread, and she obviously doesn't take criticism from /pcg/ either. Before you say that is a good thing (it generally is), there is some valid criticism you can find on /pcg/. You just have to sift through a bunch of garbage. Your options seem to be trying to superchat anyway, which wont go over well, or tweet at her, which she will definitely ignore.There's almost no interaction with her community outside of it. No member streams, no karaoke, no events. All she does is stream and that's it (except for maybe twitter but that hardly counts).
e. oh and her viewers enabling her retarded behaviour is definitely the worst part. Everytime she feels bad about soemthing she's doing (sometimes rightfully so), chat coddles her and tells her she's doing great. So she feels justified in making shit decisions
her maros are still open and seems she replied to the verified accounts recently. mostly because I think they get prioritized in he list thereThis is what I miss.

Are they? Last I remember was her talking about not reading them because there's just too many, so I figured she closed them. Not that there is much of a difference between closing them and just not reading them at all.her maros are still open and seems she replied to the verified accounts recently. mostly because I think they get prioritized in he list there
they are still open and yes I remember her saying that as well. She doesn't seem to respond to them much though. I saw 2 new responses pop up some weeks ago, but that's about it.Are they?
