Why do some vtubers never take off?Pic-related is one of the OG vtubers and only gets 20 viewers max.
>>108070373Requires putting in effort.>networking>getting along with other streamers >hopping on trends>milking drama>starting drama >Maintaining the fans that find you
>>108070412Shondo did none of those things tho
>>108070373doesn't miko get like 60k+?
>>108070373Miko's looking strange today.
>>108070373First mover's advantage isn't enough
>>108070421She hopped on trends and milked drama by being pedobait.
>>108070734Which trends? Also pretty sure she was popular before the pedobait drama.
>>108070750Shabadoo got the same boost as Mirror Celery n the sense both of them were, at one point, friends of holos regardlesss of how it turned out later. This put shadrak on the map and her growth from there came from network with other girls- her friends the Babries, of whom another ended up joining holo, and PC girls like Pippa while being an 'edgy' wife loli who says racist things sometimes. All of this made Sheogorath a very appealing vtuber to the people who watched her until she decided to tell them they were retarded for giving all that money to a random ethot.
>>108070750She was doing the whole uoh plap shit before the drama arrived.
>>108070899>>108070906Stop disrespecting her.
>>108071298>cuckband
>>108070373you either get the benefit of nepotism or have to have lottery-winner tier luck
>>108070373I doubt the fanbase for this particular one would care for gaming streams
>>108070373>Why do some X never take off?It's not just a vtuber thing
>>108070373>Guro vtuberyeah anon i really wonder why she won't reach mainstreamalso lets be honest the WORST thing that could happen to her and her fanbase is reaching mainstream
>>108072293Loli vtubers reach tons of views all the time, despite being just as niche.
>>108070373
>>108073076Polka didn't get lucky, though. She joined a huge corpo that gives you a baseline 4-view persistent CCV.
>>108073279That, too, is luck. You don't just walk up and casually join the corpo everyone else is trying to get into. You have to be the right person with the right pitch at the right time, for what the company is looking for. And you're never privy to exactly what that role is before you try out for it.
>>108073592Not really luck, though. EN5 auditions are recently open again despite no new EN gens. That just means the applicants are incompetent, but there are plenty of slots for the talented.
>>108073956Reminds me of how fuwamoco was trash until they received "hololive training" which made them talented enough to gain an audience.
>>108074104Have you watched their early solo streams? They were so awkward without the other sister around. Mococo literally turns into a low-functioning autist when she is alone.Their only redeeming quality was the sister dynamic, which is good, but probably not what the reviewers were looking for.
>>108072365What? Guro is like 10000 times more niche than loli. Loli is just a repressed fetish that most guys have. To like guro you need to have something wrong in your brain.
>>108074320She isn't very explicit about the guro stuff during her streams most of the time, though.You can just ignore it and pretend she is a cute anime girl.
>>108070373She is a garbage dramafag schizo
>>108075672I thought being a dramafag was a buff kedo
>>108070373Because she's a fucking FREAK? I'm not complaining tho, some of her stuff is... interesting.
>>108070373Because that's a ryona fetish chuuba.
>>108075694Not in Japan.
>>108070373I would how many of their streams are Animal Crossing or similar games. I wouldn't want to watch that desu...
>>108075672Hate that
>>108073592Not when she was friends with holos even before she auditioned
>>108073279Her PL was one of the popular ones before streams and ccvs were a thing
