Hi /vt/ I'm a disabled (Mentally extreme adhd, slow cognition but average iq) fan. I've been in this entertainment genre for about 2.5 years. I've noticed that despite buying tonnes of merch I don't really use most of it. This isn't exclusive to the vtuber fandom, for example I own plenty of physical videogames I have yet to unbox or even play. This is mostly due to my adhd but also other factors like fear of poverty/worry ill destroy the object etc. My Q to you is this, what do vtubers do for you that make them interesting? What keeps you entertained in the vtuber sphere? What is the dopamine hit that makes you forget your troubles or think "this is why i do this!?"Finally, I have too many subscriptions. I'm probably hoarding badges for God know what purpose but I'm not sure I want to drop any. I've been with dokibird and nimi nightmare
>marimariunderscoreen>nimiimgettingdickeddailynightmareanon I know you said you're retarded but you don't have to be a cuck too.
>>104794022>What keeps you entertained in the vtuber sphere? What is the dopamine hit that makes you forget your troubles or think "this is why i do this!?"I like music and gaming I tend to watch vtubers who usually do both
>>104794022I like the community as much as I like my oshi. They're a bunch of nice people and we all have fun doing projects to make our oshi happy. Yeah, she's great and all and inspires all of us, but it's also nice to have a bunch of people rallying around something.
>>104794117What's Wrong with MariMari_En? She has a SO/BF?>>104794272Ty>>104794388I wish I could be that social and also be content with just being a fan.
>>1047946805 guys
>>104794680If that's the case, then vtubing might not be for you, and that's okay. There's some brain-off vtubers that are good for mindless background noise like Filian, Fuwamoco, etc. but maybe you'd like something else like movies instead? This just might not be your hobby.
>>104794680how on earth do you have "good" tastes besides mari and nimi? Atleast swap nimi for her better version minto.
>>104794022>or think "this is why i do thisThe little things like playing with jpgs on stream or custom thumbnails
>>104794022Did your handler type this for you?
>>104794022Drop Saba, she's lazy and entitled and you can probably get one for free.Drop Nimi, she doesn't appreciate her fans or likes them really and she hasn't done members streams in months, she probably won't do them anymore. You could probably get one for free too. Also, don't give money to married women, they have a husband.Mari Mari is a mega hoe, and lies about it. She doesn't deserve your money either.Keep Kaela, she's hard working and actually appreciates her community.CC you can keep for now, but be cautioned that she's a normie.Gigi you can keep for now, be warned that she's a Holostars fan and that asexual thing is sus af.>My Q to you is this, what do vtubers do for you that make them interesting? What keeps you entertained in the vtuber sphere? What is the dopamine hit that makes you forget your troubles or think "this is why i do this!?"I'm an incel in my 30s and I'm lonely. That's pretty much it. It's not a healthy hobby overall.If you are not feeling the spark anymore I suggest you get into film or music. I would recommend reading, but the ADHD will probably make that very hard.
>>104795366>IDfagopinion disregarded.
how are you retarded but have money for all that shit
>>104794680>RaoraKeep it for now, but be warned that there are rumors that she has a bf(the evidence is kinda weak though). And she has been slacking off lately. >E;R.Don't know, but it's cheap, so I guess you can keep it.>DokbirdKeep this one, she's hard working and she loves and appreciates her fans>Koseki bijouYou may keep it, also hard working, also loves her fan. You could probably get one for free though.>FuwamocoYou can keep this one too, they are adorable and are comitted to their fans and to be idols, they won't betray you>ouro kroniiKeep it for now. Be warned she can be a bit of a bitch sometimes. She's very honest though and she won't do anything behind your back like NImi did for years.
>>104794022I watched a lot of vtubers over the years, vsinger, indies, corpo, you named it, and i have been bellcurved and started watching top holo JP again, because they consistently produce interesting content aswell as bug collab event. I was watching dokibird for a long time, but then I kinda got bored of her content, she kinda got stale for the past few months, but thats just me, so I'm taking a break from her for awhile
>>104795597Bug* =big fuck my fat fingers
>>104794022>(Mentally extreme adhd, slow cognition but average iq)But that's the entire board, why bother mentioning it?
TL:DR>Drop immediately Saba, Marimari, Nimi>May drop depending on your feelings and financesGigi, CC, Kronii, Raora>Must keepKaela, Biboo, Dokibird, Fuwamoco
>>104794832Could you tell me about the "5 guys" story?
>>104794022>merch hoardingIt might just be the hololive effectI used to have Nenechi and Sana as my holo oshis (I watched Ame a ton but I'm not really supporting her that much outside of watching her pre-Council streams), but I own a lot of the group EN merch despite not being a fan of the entire branchI even have Bae's stupid 1 liter mug still kept inside a boxAfter Sana left I kinda stopped watching, and I have most of my holo merch sitting inside a box that I can't even sell. Considering just giving my nekko plushies away to young relatives that have no idea what vtubers are, and maybe just use the Bae mug and not caring about what's printed on them. The Sanallite plush I use as a desk pillow so that's pretty much the only piece of merch that's being usedI found a small JP indie vtuber that kinda does what Sana wanted to do at the start so I try to watch live as much as I can, share her streams on socials and buy her merch But this time when I buy her merch I know it's gonna help her a lot so it doesn't matter to me if it's just mostly for display
>>104795855she was at offkai and had a friend rooming with her. She told her friend multiple times both in text and to her face "text me at least (~15 minutes) before you head back". Said friend and other vtuber got drunk/high and headed back without telling Mari. Walks in and its Mari with 5 other people - they all rushed out, Mari threw a fit, then when it came out, she told her chat to call her whatever they want, but only on her chat and communityThe story may be fake btw, but she does give druggy hoe vibes.
>>104795419I live in Canada on social welfare and have a menial job.>>104796182Pretty sure Mari is still a virgin. Not that it matters, she's Pippa's friend. Now they both won't be virgins.Thanks all for the input. I feel bad for nimi but people make good points. I love the Kaela love. I can't sub to mint I have to steer clear of pornography and she hits on that topic too much. She's a kind person, I just can't be exposed to it.
>>104797144Feel bad why? Dude, all the vtubers you posted are richer than you and most of them work less. Don't ever "feel bad" for unmembering.Nimi specifically also has a fulfilling romantic life and will have a family. Something that you and me are unlikely to ever get.
>>104796182> she does give druggy hoe vibesI don't know about "hoe" but "druggy," absolutely. Like half her streams she's very obviously fucking blazed out of her mind. It's especially obvious in collabs. The way she pauses at the start of sentences just SCREAMS that she's stoned. I've known a bunch of stoner girls who sound exactly like this in real life, it's completely unmistakable.
>>104795506Being a bitch is Kronii’s charm point
>>104797746I think she’s just slightly retarded and/or has a speech impediment. She can speak fast when she wants to. It comes off as being thoughtful about phrasing and/or diction more than anything else
>>104797144>mari virgin>goes to raves>has/had a vtuber boyfriend You are so delusional its insane
>>104794022>fear of povertyIf you had an actual fear of poverty you wouldn't be buying vtuber merchandise. It's garbage and you're the biggest retard in the world for spending any money on this shit.
>>104801622Does she actually go to raves? Or does she go to anime conventions w/ raves?
>>104797746It's her sense of humour. Marimari is unironically too funny for the vtubing audience, so many of you don't appreciate her act tbhdesu
>>104794117fpbp
>>104801736I hope you are trolling. You are making me feel angry with these women for tricking naive dumb men like you.
Your phone is only at 10% battery. Fucking charge it
>>104801804Actually funny vtubers don't fucking exist, you idiot.
>>104797144>I have to steer clear of pornography and she hits on that topic too muchWhat the fuck are you talking about, you fucking spastic? You're making NO sense.
>>104804454Rin Penrose is pretty hilarious in shorts/edited video format. Chibidoki and Filian as well. All 3 are great at coming up with witty responses/skits to situations. You could argue Dokibird causes laughter just by how contagious her belly laughs are, as well.
>>104804478Dude probably has a serious porn addiction. Understandable, but a hard subject to avoid with how vtubers are. >>104797144Nimi's great, honestly. Very calming and extremely good background noise, so I can't really agree with the sentiment of dropping her for... getting married? You'd probably like Rin Penrose then. The woman is deathly allergic to sex topics and will actively ban people for even alluding to them. (She even made an entire video talking about it.) However her actual streams tend to have a lot of dead air, but her jokes are incredibly funny when they land. She's best in shorts or on her edited highlight videos.
>>104794022>>104794680>CA $4.99I fucking hate this regional pricing shit. That's £2.67 apparently, yet all my memberships are £4.99 (CA$9.32). I know it's still only the price of a cup of coffee but it annoys me that third world countries like Canada get cheaper shit on YouTube.
>>104794022My oshi is cute so I watch her. She's currently on vacation though
pick one and get your shit together if youre asking vt thats your answer unless membership subs is your special interest
>>104794022I only use vtuber ASMR to fap to doujins.
>>104804864Keep seething Mohammed
>>104794022drop everyone but fuwamocothank me later
>>104794022I've only paid for CC memberships because she has a based taste and her watchalongs are interesting and unconventional, and the rest of the member streams is her unleashing her ADHD for 2+ hours which is always fun to watch. If only she didn't forget about otocranks...All other memberships are through gifts.
>>104806590Just over 7% of Canada's population is Indian or of Indian heritage, whereas just under 3% of the UK's population is Pakistani or of Pakistani heritage. Glass houses, saar.
>>104796182Replied anon here, I think there are lots of plotholes to the said story and it doesn't stick well to this "friend/roomie-chan" at all given they were drunk/high as shit and went back seing Mari got gangbang-and-done like it doesn't make anything so sense to me.
>>104804764You don't have to stop watching, just stop giving them money like a cuck.
>>104804478He probably has some serious porn addiction.
>>104795366this is problably the most sane comment ive read here in days. No a single lie detected even tho i dont think CC counts as ur standart Normie. Shes extro yes but u can clearly see some spectrum shit if you watch her long enough. I like her. Shes 100% real, not a whore, puts effort into her Streams / Music.
>>104794022I like them when they are needy and affectionate towards fans. This ends up on gfe ASMR being most of what I watch, but it is not necessary for me to like a chuuba.
