Heya, done a bit of data scraping and here are the approximate numbers of vtubers globally since the dawn of time across all platforms (Except twitter - Vtwitters dont count)Total number of unique vtubers to date : 42,000 (50,000 if you count subchannels of repeated vtubers)CONTENT BASED ATTRITION RATETotal % of vtubers who will upload / stream more than twice: 60%Total % of vtubers who will upload / stream more than 10 times: 25%Total active vtubers (last 4 months) : 23%TIME BASED ATTRITION RATE69% gives up between the first 1- 4 months81% gives up between the 1 - 2 years92% gives up before they hit the 3 years mark
>>111382835Can you post this data? It seems a bit low. I'd imagine the number who give up before 3 years to be much higher than just 92%
>>111382835>69%heh
>>111382858Was going to put 67 had to resist>>111382848This is done by getting clankers to scrape sites like streamcharts, youtube and twitch. It's in fact pretty high into the 1st - 2nd year where 81% have already quitted
>>111382848Also forgot to mention, sites like hololist etc will have graduation date listed. While hololist holds only 7k entries it's concrete sign that it's a graduation + debut to graduation will also be available for calculation
>>111382848possible its accurate, though depends what you call given up, like one stream/video every 2 months just as a hobby or something can be seen as given up depending on the person but its technically content being made.
>>111382835What criteria did you use to determine which channels are vtubers? Do pngtubers qualify?
>>111383083If they have vtuber mentioned it is counted, for png tubers it will highly depend on how their profile is set up. A specialized version of Gemini used by Youtube so even if they don't have a vtuber tag, from checking the content Youtube's special version Gemini would pick them out quite well. This is not a surprise considering graduated Holomems STILL tops the youtube top earning charts years after graduation so they would be tracked by youtube as a separate category.Burntpeanut etc would not be counted, he does not refer to himself as a vtuber and normally lacks such tags on the contents. Even if some were counted by accident there wouldn't be too many.
>>111382835Also forgot to add in one thing, Total active 23% naturally does not match with the 92% give up because majority of those 23% are in different times of their lifecycle. We do not know if they will call it quits in the next few months or keep going for 5 years. Hence it's naturally higher, there's only 10 years of significant vtuber histories and most came in 2022-2024 so that number would obviously change in the next 12 months or so.

>>11138284850k doesn't sound like a lot but if you had to shake 50 people's hands it wouldn't be small at all.
