/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

It means she got mogged by Gura

>>14068692
Kill yourself.

It sounds silly but I wonder if she really is demoralised by still not being able to hit 3 million. A lot of work goes into her videos but the views are nowhere near what they used to be.

>>14068666
Another one joining Hololive

>>14068666
It means they're replacing the VA again please be patient

>>14068666
CHOMP CHOMP aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

who would fall for this? how dumb is the average /vt/ goer?

>>14068801
>she
"them"

What happened to the so-called major chink market? It was supposed to sustain her no?

>>14068666
maybe final concert

>>14069183
Turns out most of those chinks are slaving away in sweat shops or are rural farmers who literally don't have electricity so they don't have the disposable income for things like hobbies or interests.

'soft' graduation

>>14068666
bye bye...

She said that while she's "sleeping" there will be lots of projects centered around her being made, whatever that means

>>14069183
The CCP is actively making sure that no one outside of China makes a profit in China. Imported entertainment is hidden and has propaganda articles written about it to turn people away, while homegrown stuff is lifted high and put in the spotlight.

She's pregnant.

>further developing Kizuna AI

WTF does that mean? Anyways, they should just pack it up and move on with a new business model.

Lamy...

>>14068666
The corpo made her worked a lot, but new videos aren't well received, so Ai gets angry then she strikes. She will not work again until the corpo pay her

That's a bold strategy to push for 3m

>>14069404
Nah, just kys threadwatcher.

>>14069447
Exactly what you said.
Re-evaluating just how to make Ai relevant again.

>>14069447
>WTF does that mean?
Ever heard of this thing called kayfabe? You wouldn't know about it because you just watch e-thots with an avatar, not virtual youtubers.

>the last live
It's really sinking in now.

>>14068666
2M subs here we go

>>14068666
It means she's throwing in the towel

>>14068666
>Kizuna AI The Last Live "hello, world 2022" will be held online on Saturday, February 26, 2022, before the indefinite hiatus to express gratitude to all Kizuna AI fans and everyone involved for their warm support and encouragement over the last five years of Kizuna AI's activities.
That's a graduation announcement.
Thank you for everything you've done AI-chan, it has been a pleasure.

>Last live
It's over

>>14069523
>Ever heard of this thing called kayfabe?
No I never bothered with streamers at all until HoloEN showed up.

>>14068692
And Gura gets mogged by Pekora, Marine, Miko, holoX etc. But dead subs is the only thing that matters right cumbucket?

>>14069610

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, every new gen gets a debut buff, even EN2 did. Come back in 3 months and check the numbers.

>>14069384
Can confirm, because it was my cock that did it

>>14068666
My idealistic sense sees this as trying to get her original VA back

KIZUNA AI LOVE

>>14069648
and despite all that she still got mogged by Gura

I can't wait to see the several projects involving Kisuna Ai™.

should have retire far earlier as legend

sticky mods

>>14069762
Everyone gets mogged at some point

>>14068666
She's pregnant

>>14069648
you know that japs and korean streamers are literally irrelevant to the internet right? They can get hours but still will NEVER receive the same payment that youtube and twitch give to english streamers they don't even get nominated to awards lol

>>14069804
She's still retiring as a legend. While she has lost a lot of her audience in the last two years, her quality was never in question. AI-chan has nothing to be ashamed of.

>Kizuna AI embraces China
>Goes under
>Hololive cuts off China
>Inclining harder than ever
?????????????????????????????????

>>14069867
>he says, forgetting the reddit dragon was global #1 in superchats

>>14069911
She's retiring as a hobo war veteran and not a legend.

>>14069943
Pretty sure there's no correlation seeing as Kizuna Ai was more successful on TikTok than YouTube

>>14069911
>her quality was never in question
literally why she lost those viewers especially after that multiple-AI / replacements shitshow

>>14070004
How much ad revenue does Tik Tok get you?

>>14069965
and? Ludwig said himself that streamers that make money by superchat can't be compared to the ones that make money from ad and subs.
He literally made 3m+ in one month during his subathon on twitch with basically no donations

>>14069867
>They can get hours but still will NEVER receive the same payment that youtube and twitch give to english streamers
This is the Top 30 most supperchatted people for last month. If you can't numberfag, don't try to numberfag.

>>14070054
As much as the sponsors care to give.

>>14069804
Still clung to that title as most subscribed. Once that was gone, it's pretty much all over.

>>14068666
how is this not worthy of a sticky but cocos grad was? jannys are huge faggots

2020 was a mistake. This wouldn't have happened if -that- didn't happen last year.

>>14070119
Because this thread isn't going to hit 1500 posts. Sticks aren't for "important announcement", they're to prevent spam.

>>14070119
This thread alone has 60+ replies, a sticky is not about some sort of reward or acknowledgment but because it stops morons from leaving their grieving thread and shitting up the board even more.

>>14070004
Meanwhile

>>14068666
never work with chinks, or this is your fate. from a cultural phenomenon to this

>>14070120

Cocochi...

Where is Kizuna Ai a big star, anyway? Tiktok? Twitter? Instagram? Cross-media promotions? Some chinese platform I've never even heard of?

>>14070086
Why are youtubekeks obsessed with donations
?
Are their members cut and ad revenue really that bad compared to twitch?
Roru

>>14070328
Nowhere anymore, this is why she's retiring.

>>14070453
>Muh Tik Tok noombers

>>14070229
Yeah I get that much but I don't think it was the chinks that did her in was my meaning

>>14069447
you already answered yourself. the hiatus is a self-reflection on Ai-chan's part and how to become relevant again. a rebrand of her identity is most likely to happen. i'm betting she'll launch a new vtuber group like NoriPro and she will focus on full streaming.

>>14069943
Dealing with China is poison, this is proof

>>14069599
don't lose hope. vtubers can still return even after their graduation.

>>14069599
I wish they just said it straight out. This is some pussy soft graduation bullshit.
Announce it officially, get your good byw support/money. Move the fuck on.

>>14070569
Unless she manages to drop the china shit and NFT shilling i don't think that will work out much better.

>>14070569
>i'm betting she'll launch a new vtuber group like NoriPro and she will focus on full streaming.
They already tried that and failed.

>>14070645
What do people mean by China shit? I always hear about it but what did she do?

>>14070688
she basically sold herself to the chinks so she had to do whatever they said unless she wants to be disappeared like Hololive.

>>14070617
What? She even went as far as revealing her face on her graduation. May as well not hold graduation in the first place.

>>14070622
They're not ending memberships, to think it's a retirement is delusional.

>>14070808
Why would they tell people to stop spending money?

Watch her 10 minute summary
https://youtu.be/0_eQWuO5WAM

>>14070833
Because it would be literal scamming.

>>14070793
idk what really happened, but i assume Chocola's VA probably just missed being a vtuber and she already has Laki-chan, so why not use it again?

>>14070808
yeah, just like Kaguya Luna, right?

>>14070858
Like NFTs?

>>14070858
Sony got away with it, lol.

>>14070677
That wasn't that, they were just trying to fix the clone shit by giving her a real model with that but people were never going to accept the clones.

>>14070835
>Expecting /vt/ to spend 10 minutes to do reps when they prefer shitposting.

>>14070622
>arghhhhh i don't understand what you're doing!!! do something i can understand!!!

>>14070054
It doesn't.
Tiktok's only profitable if you can get sponsors and shit.

So. What happened? Unironically, what went wrong?

>>14071183
It all started when upd8 fucked up the clone saga, and they never recovered from it

>>14071183
Her business model (short 3D skits) became outdated and the public was more interested in large vtuber groups(Niji, 774, etc.), instead of individual streamers.
Basically the age passed her by (as it did most big chuubas of her time).

>>14071183
Clones

>>14071335
Should have gone into longer edited video content, it has been consistently popular on youtube for the platform's entire existence.

>>14071183
It was all started with nijisanji changging the meta, follow suit by clone wars, upd8 fucked up management graduating bunch of their chuuba (including nit-korone and not-polka), The 4Heavenly King got into a bunch of yabs and offically ending their era. Finally Hololive put the last nail by having Gura surpassed her, thus make Hololive became the new leading figure and Face of Vtuber industry on global scale, send her into irrelevancy.

>Collab with pink cat

Sir, this isn't reddit

The era ended when Kizuna got cut into three pieces. At this point its more like putting her out of her misery.

She'll come back after her "update".

Kiara is talking about the Kizuna announcement now.

Kiara says indefinite hiatus usually means graduation.

>>14077632
>falseflaggers shitpost
>why is x like this
You are part of the problem retard

I find it fucking hilarious that the one common point that i have seen on twitter today is not about AI graduating but that they actually found out that she was involved with NFTs, only because she is on topic and they bothered to remind themselves who she was.

She'll be back after finally hitting that milestone of 3 mil subs, which, judging from her sub growth, will be in 2039. Have faith! She only has 2.99 mil subs after all.

>>14070677
Don't talk shit about Love-chan she is great

>>14068666
It's free publicity because the channel never had a break before and many are seeing it as something positive.
And it's working because her main channel finally reached 2.99M subs after that announcement and will make her reach 3M before her next concert.

>>14068666
she's graduating satan

>HoloX debuts
>One of the first chuubas cant hit 3M for months and soft graduates
Are we witnessing the end of an era?

>>14069337
The IP still a money maker so things like ads with her face and name will still pop up.
>>14069368
Funny the rumors about Kizuna Ai VA getting replaced was started by chinese translators.

>>14086183
>Are we witnessing the end of an era?
That era was over a long time ago.

>>14085727
Wasn't she already on track to 2.99M? And to get 3M before february? That's not publicity, that's just simple predictions.

>>14086183
>gura officially the face of vtubing
>end of an era
lol no shit anon

>>14070677
no it wasn't. It was damage control. Btw Love and Aipii were pretty much dropped in their new channel to die, they were barely mentioned in the AI channel.

>>14093025
>gura officially the face of vtubing
By who?

>>14094085
By reality. Look around anon. All the old guard are dead. Gura is double Calli's subs. This is it anon.

>Animare to 774 inc
