Could someone explain to why vtuber's are a thing?

Is it like escapism and the vtuber is living our their dream of being famous through an anime character avatar while everyone cheers them on?

I just don't get vlogers and would like to understand what makes them so appealing to others...

I was legit disappointed I couldn't buy the EP she released for free. That stuff was actually insane.

VTubers are rising suddenly in streaming content. This happened recently. I mean gawr gura is new-new and is killing it in the vtuber community.

my guess at popularity is that viewers can be more interactive to anime waifus than actual person behind the camera. It also helps vtubers that popular streamers like pokimane has a vtube avatar for her streams now. This makes it more accepting to the streaming community. anime, videogames, waifu content... like the trinity of viewer content right there.

The niche of the niches is appealing because of the interaction viewers experience. Creativity, imagination, appreciation goes hand in hand for vtubers and viewers. THey often comment on their own appearance and use personality to draw viewers in. The waifu experience is real in virtual live streaming. Its also expanding towards other content such as concerts and paywalls. silvervale has $5 asmr content that has gone #1 early. Its described as a schoolgirl gf experience. Projekt melody moonlights on the side...

I've never seen any other streamer pull the numbers Gura did in her karaoke stream. The most I've seen was my boy Northernlion with 24k people watching him play Tony Hawk PS 1+2 and being featured on the front page.

I honestly think part of it is the mystery of not knowing who the real person is. Like think of all the online personalities that we know way too much about.

People enjoy a good mystery, even if there is no real desire to solve it.

I dont understand whats not to get tbh. A lot of big streamers like vinny, joel, chuggaconroy, game grumps, two best friends, alpharad, failboat, old critikal and totalbiscuit, pannenkoek etc etc all got popularity with just their voices so why wouldnt an emotive avatar be even more appealing?
In the video I posted from gigguk, he spells out the draw in a pretty well thought out way.

To some people, it's unfamiliar and it's anime, so it's scary to them. I would say irrational fears but I'm a weirdo who's not afraid of live bugs but terrified of dead ones

I can't believe that Gigguk just compared watching Vtubers to watching professional wrestling... and I can't believe that this, of all things, is going to be what makes me finally accept my fate and try watching Vtuber videos. God damn you, Roman Reigns!

I'd say it's far less cheesy and acted than pro wrestling, and nobody really plays the heel character either, except as a joke in specific scenarios where a girl plays a ton of pranks on others. I guess they just have more of a professional feel considering the "professional" part of professional streaming. Better production value, more structure to the streaming, more community and organization feel that gives less of an improv feel when they mesh together, compared to say offlinetv is the only thing I can think of that's also a community of streamers.

Also they're run by companies so generally they're heavily screened and handpicked. This allows for far less drama queens, if at all, and little to no conflict amongst streamers in the same group because all the streamers have good natures.

To me, they actually kinda remind me of Korean talk shows. Japanese talk shows sorta follow a similar format but Korean talk shows tend to actually focus more on irl friend aspect of the hosts and regulars of their shows. Like one of the most popular personality is a 46 yr old woman who's literally on every show and brings an army of similar people with her to all the shows. People gravitate towards whatever talk shows she's on because you always know what to expect and that the show will have a bit of a structure and art to it. Also because she brings some of her friends along to each of the shows, there's always a sense of camaraderie.

Ok this is a bit meta, but the prevailing theory is that Gura used to be Senzawa

The voice sounds very familiar.

Ina is believed to be a well known Pixiv artist and FFXIV raider.

Kiara is believed to be a Dutch-Japanese model IIRC.

Amelia is the only one people aren't sure at all about last I checked.

Coco broke it down a while back, YouTube gets like 30%, their company gets 30%, there's some other minor things and they end up taking home around a 30% cut themselves IIRC. But they also get paid directly by Cover and provided with equipment and whatnot. For someone like Coco who has made nearly a million since her debut less than a year ago 30% ain't bad.

Coco succeeded off of breaking her back doing nearly daily shows that has elaborate editing and planning involved. She also had to watch like almost everything Hololive related for her content.

But also she's still technically a foreigner and must pay almost half of what she takes home as taxes.

Omg lol. I think out of the few guy Vtubers I watch, Roberu's easily by far the most entertaining and meme-y. There was also that other clip where he talks about how his channel URL has UCANDOIYT, and his viewers started memeing the hell out of it. He's also called a winning son because he declared YES I AM WINNING SON proudly after winning a game of Fall Guys and later was embarrassed that the origin of the meme is the dad walking into his son watching porn

Also he's like around my age so doubly more relatable
