>who are you quoting
holy shit the amount of greentext and viewerfag giving advice on getting into big corpo last thread. the former may the limitations of anon's communication abilities but god I can't wait until EN Gen 2/4 is revealed to be half girls voice acting reverse babi male drawings.

bodysuit anon's feet!

>>21055246
I dunno, I thought the “viewerfag” sounded pretty level-headed in all honesty

>>21056318
There's certain posters who think anyone that disagrees is a viewer. In all honesty, unless you've hit that 30+range you've basically no better than a viewer yourself, except you know how to use OBS.

>>21056318
Eh, unless you're specifically trying to appeal to /vt/ as your target audience viewerfags ITT are a pretty irrelevant case study. You'll get viewerfags with a fake an hero livestream though, I got messaged by a few people I haven't seen in years the time I tried it. The point was more along the lines of people who don't stream giving advice on how to stream.

viewer =/= viewerfag

>>21056390
>except you know how to use OBS
Even that isn’t always true, funnily enough. From what I understand the person I replied to doesn’t use scenes or game capture

>>21056390
ok tranny schizo yellow cat

>>21056591
I don’t think anybody’s gonna fall for that one, yellow cat and/or friend of yellow cat

>>21056698

>>21056704

WHAT SHOULD I STREAM TONIGHT DESU

>>21052793
What discords?

can't you just be a normal poster, you kinda established yourself already

i still don't understand the blank reply posts if i'm gonna be honest

>>21056698
I'm actually genuinely befuddled that anyone thinks my friends or le discord boogeyman post on my behalf. Maybe anon doesn't know what it's like to have friends? One does not just tell their friends to post on 4chan on a regular basis.

I just shitpost on cooldown. Please don't ever gift me a 4chan pass.

heres some tips from a corpo about what to put in your audition

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uH1_glkiGJM&t=14s

literally put whatever stupid garbage, then let nepotism advantage give you a free ride apparently

>>21057070
It's minimal effort (You) for when whatever argument/person is not worth coherent speech.

>>21056968
I literally am. I just ignore the crabby guy who talks about me more than I do myself. I got bored of derailment long ago beyond spamming the same pics and growing the chuuba pyramid scheme, and I'm unrelated on my way to buy drugs for the weekend so :shrug:

>>21056939
Got any new games to unbox and first time stream or custom vroid/modded multiplayer to play together with your friends/audience? People are looking to unwind on Frideys, Saturdays are usually much more comfy for drawing/chat.

flockdraw and slither.io are cute too.

>>21057070

>>21056938
some of the small corpos ones and other indie ones

>>21053514
I like the working anime girl /asp/ pictures.

>>21057553
Can you link them?

>>21057480
>It's minimal effort (You) for when whatever argument/person is not worth coherent speech.
What does it mean when I get both an empty reply and a real reply
Also what kind of drugs are you doing this weekend and how can you afford them if you don’t work

>>21057889
Find some discords of chuubas you watch and enjoy, it's a lot easier to get to know the people on them and groom them into audience members when you share genuine interest in the chuuba that the server is for.

>>21057864
i'm glad you like them
they're a callback to the original /auds/ threads that were created after ****** left
i started doing them sometime last summer to make it easier to find the thread

>>21057167
Why did they hire a fucking seanigger for their en division, nijisanji fucking sucks

>>21057480
i know I can't stop you, but i wished you didn't do drugs this weekend. I'll pray for your safety

>>21058135
It means I am mildly engaged in conversating with you, but in this case I was just demonstrating and being generous with the (You)s.

I almost bought crack but my Dad said even if I'm doing bad things he still loves and trusts me so I'm opting to respect myself for him.

>>21058152
My interests is hololive jp

>>21058476
It’s worth it to be sober imo. You can do it too, especially if you have your parents supporting you. Easiest way to quit is to not buy it

>>21058415
Thanks anon, I'll zatsudan/podcast about my recovery journey when I'm a bit more presentable. As quick to cringe as some may be, I want to help myself through helping others. It works on my end too, I may get high with my friends while gaming but at least that way we monitor eachother's dosage and ensure a supportive positive set and setting.

Also one of my close friends and probably the only guy who streams me on his flatscreen TV warned me about smoking from aluminum foil pipes. It's a good world if you look around, too bad so many have their head up their ass though.
/vlog

>>21056591
Tell me what you think the average /asp/ie knows better than a viewer that isn't just general technical streaming knowledge you need to hit Live on OBS, because judging by these threads it doesn't seem like much.

>>21058708
> It works on my end too, I may get high with my friends while gaming but at least that way we monitor eachother's dosage and ensure a supportive positive set and setting.
People who get high with you are enabling you. If you get high with them, you are enabling them.

>>21058617

>>21058787
Oh trust me, anon. These guys are high already regardless. You could say that it's harm reduction and high-sitting, most of these guys are alone and have serious PTSD. For example, I have to tell them do not ever sell me a gun or drugs under any circumstances (I am probably just high if I do otherwise). We've seen some shit.

It's proven more effective to address the underlying reasons that push us to use, when you're really in it you know to just not say anything by default. I remind them "Keep staying strong" and "You don't need to be high to have a good time" etc, and when they or my family remind me it makes me hurt more than I can escape from. Most are lonely and survival-mode to the point of being unable to let themselves cry or love. And we all care about each other more than ourselves, which is a problem in its own.

>>21058724
most of /asp/ are viewerfags/tourists. The ones that "make it" inevitably move on to focus on their own careers. There was no point of disagreement.

>>21057889
If you look up MissFushi her Discord server is public and very good streaming/software QnA. She said that she's happy to teach, if not planning a separate video/interview on it.

>>21059165
I hear you but seriously, after a certain point if your friends are okay with you getting high and are even encouraging you to get high with them after you’ve clearly expressed that you don’t want to be high, they do not have your best interests in mind.

>>21058598
there's fanservers for all of the JP holos.
https://discord.gg/s3WTxnkHXq
check #fan-servers for links to the others.

It's going to be tough trying to get JP holo audience to watch some random /asp/ie's streams though, best of luck

>>21057480
I just have a PNG right now
Haven't played the new MK8DX DLC yet though
Actually, haven't touched my Switch in quite a while... oops. Time to vary it up.

>>21057167
There’s also the fact that she had like 100k subs before applying. That probably carried her more than the video (and nepotism)

all right im back and my facetracking in vtubestudio is working pretty well

https://streamable.com/bxdz4a

its slightly jank and the mouth opening and eyes blinking doesnt track particularly well but eh for about 4 days of work im happy with it

Is there a way to comfortably multibox Discord without having to resort to having a session on your phone or something? That is, have a separate streamer account and personal account (so that your normalfag internet friends don't belittle you because you went TOO far and tried to become a chuuba)?

>>21063437
They recently added a quick-switch feature to Discord.

>>21061987
So as far as corpos go (that is, specifically Holo or Niji), who had the absolute lowest floor in terms of sub count? The lowest I know of (mind you, I am a holobrony and make no effort to pretend otherwise, feel free to educate me on Niji numbers) was Ame who was around 10k when the window during which she auditioned opened (and she still tacked on another couple thousand followers during the waning days of her streaming in her past life)
I know everyone encouragingly is like "lol anyone can make it just go for it man!", but no one can point out 2views who lucked out without being straight nepotism hires, or being non-streamers with tens of thousands of subs for their produced content. And like >>21059325 pointed out, people who have numbers that have precedent for being corpo-worthy (I'm talking 1k+, minimum) move the fuck on. Not downplaying any of you guys who have clawed your way up to having a couple hundred followers, don't misunderstand me, just saying that while such of you are big fish compared to 2views, vtweeters, and viewerfags, it doesn't even come close to what appears to be realistic numbers for even standing a ghost of a chance in an application, no matter how fun and quirky you are. There are plenty of other fun and quirky people with several times your numbers.

>>21063437
there's the multiswitch option they just added and i think they have the public test build which can be run in a separate account

>>21062217
>its slightly jank and the mouth opening and eyes blinking doesnt track particularly well but eh for about 4 days of work im happy with it
I was having the same concerns but then I watch again other vtubers and it turns out pretty much everyone has the same problems. Very few vtubers have reliable face tracking, so don't sweat it.

I've come to the realization that the best way to make any progress is to actually craft and play a character. My current "haha self-aware that he's just another dude with an avatar XD" cynical schtick is boring and overplayed.
I know this is like, step zero for actually chuubing, but it hadn't really sunk in at all. I actually need to do a proper character and all. Can't afford to become a jaded asshole/"be myself" until/unless I Make It in any capacity, at which point breaking character becomes fair game.

>>21064856
fofamit doesn't act a character

>>21064183
Pretty sure finana had under 10 streams total and like 6k twitter followers when she was accepted into nijisanji. From Hololive, yeah Amelia is probably the smallest content creator, she was averaging 100-150ccv on twitch.

I can't divulge names obviously, but a streamer with ~3000 twitch followers and 2k twitter followers got to the interview phase for holostarEN. That's pretty reasonable, I feel like anybody who isnt halfassing it can get those numbers in a year or two.

>>21064183
honestly i think this is the bitter truth. even if you are a perfect fit and talented as a mother fucker, you will definitely get number filtered if you havent been doing this shit for 2-3 years with substantial numbers. i wish they were more explicit in this so they dont waste people's time and give them false hope. hell maybe this is some sort of marketing strategy to keep people more engaged so they have this idea planted in their mind that they can join some day

>>21064998
>you will definitely get number filtered if you havent been doing this shit for 2-3 years with substantial numbers.
I've always said this since the beginning even when the thread was called /auds/. If you notice corporate trends, it's already too late. Build your portfolio and get ready for the next trend.

>>21064998
I mean, it makes a harsh kind of sense. A couple years of grinding on top of already having some degree of natural talent and/or charisma will mold you into a very good candidate. Of course, then it becomes a question of whether you wanna throw away years' worth of thousands of hard-earned fans to sign with a corpo and fall under the shackles of management. Sure, you get the salary and exposure and all, but it just seems like a bitter pill. Either be a 0view and not stand a chance at all, or grind for a while and be "worth" their time, but you're successful in your own right.

I think I have everything to start this Sunday, should I put my stream on /wvt/? or on twitter?

>>21065186
do both fren :)

>>21065186
A video or even a promo image works 9x better than just text. Avoid using text-only announcements for your streams/content.

>>21064856
There's a middle ground, though. You don't need to act as an anime character with a verbal tic and all, but jaded cynical gamer-bro isn't the only other option

>networking in twitter aka make some newbie vtuber friends
>she's German
>he's German
>that guy is German too
>oh another German

Seems that suddenly some many German people try to be a vtuber.

>>21066001
so many*

>>21066036
>>21066001
>yfw one of the new corpo debuts ends up being German

>>21066001
So you're saying a swamp German like me could have a chance

Where do I find people who will collab with me that aren't normies? I'm too fucking weird for most of the indie vtubers I see.

>>21066868
>that aren't normies?
ask in the aspcord or /wvt/

How do you guys get over streaming at an older age in general? I know with vtubing unless I revealed it myself, it would never be known, but I still sometimes feel insecured with the idea of starting it so late. I wouldn't start streaming reasonably until I'm about 26-27 which I think is still pretty young, but definitely older compared to the majority I would think.

>>21067115
by not giving a shit and just streaming?

>>21066868
I've been scouting for people and it's slim pickings.
The trouble is VTubing is a huge revolving door and most people won't last longer than 3 months.
So people are coming and going all the time. So you don't know who's worth investing your time into.

I'm thinking aiming slightly higher up might be better, because holy shit some of the people I keep seeing are cringe as fuck.

>>21067115
i started streaming like a month before i turned 27 and honestly it doesn't really matter
why would your age be a factor?

>>21067115
Sometimes I see some chuuba so young that can be my son.
But honestly I don't care, especially I still sound like a teenage nerd.

>>21067282
>why would your age be a factor?
only time i care about age is when i see a chuuba who is 35 years old getting into twitter drama fights against 16 girl vtuber still in high school

How the hell do you stream console games if you can’t have more than one screen available on your table/desk and can’t just drag your PC out into the living room?
My HD70 S doesn’t seem to want to work, apparently all of my USB C to A cables aren’t USB 3 rated or something.

>>21067879
Like literally I just canceled a stream because I couldn’t get it sorted out and I’m frustrated. I’m trying to get started but my shitty setup gets in my way.

dude weed lmao

am home and safe, thanks /asp/.
walking alone with a crutch while wearing your old patched motorcycle jacket is very vloggable

>>21065117
well i think if i learned anything, its that i should just start building something instead of just waiting for opportunities. i dont want to say i regret that it took me this long to finally start trying to build myself up since i was mentally in a pretty shit place and needed time to unfuck my brain, but its a bit anxiety inducing to have to play catch up at 25.

>>21068645
>its that i should just start building something instead of just waiting for opportunities.
Jesas fucking Christ, this. We need more aspies with your mindset. Just fucking start and make content.

>>21068645
27, in the same boat as you.
We're gonna make it.

>"Hey, Vtubers! [friendly question for people to answer]"
>Only reply is from an irl friend who isn't even a vtuber
This is rigged, people see you have 10 followers and just pass over you. If a 1k numberwhale made the same exact post and got the same number of views, they'd have a hundred replies.
I WANT NUMBERS AAAAAAA NOTICE ME SENPAIS

dude weed lmao, /asp/.

>>21069560
(You)

You all actually have at least designs for your vtubers, right? You aren't all just here pretending are you?

>>21068857
i think too many of us hear the subaru story and the nijiEN lies about "oh haha i was a nobody if you are talented and have a good personality you have a chance" and delude ourselves into thinking that's true. I wish someone can just come out and just tell all the 2 views to stop dreaming about corpo and start grinding

Can I get a (You)?

>>21070818
The fact that in this very thread another aspie brought up Finana yet again and made up shit goes to show how deep the cope goes.

Finana's PL ended her Twitch career with 1.5k+ followers and 16k+ views. She wasn't just a vtweeter. She didn't stream less than 10 times. She had a following that most aspies can't come close to. Just because you weren't paying attention back then doesn't rewrite history to fit your headcanons.

>>21070933
Heya!

>>21070763
I pretend to be pretending to not have a vtuber that pretends pretending pretend girls

>>21067115
One of the most popular made it male vtubers Kabhaal is in his 40s when he started.

Are you older than him?

>>21070944
T-THANKS

>>21070938
There are former aspies hitting those numbers. It just requires you to, you know, stream and actually make content.

>>21071316
That's the thing though, you've gotta start and create content. Some notable aspies

Callie Calico
>took about 9 months to hit 16k views
Power Nelson
>now on his 11th month of streaming at 13k views
Professor Bloom
>7 months of streaming, 10k views
Not an aspie technically, but Elliott Ambers
>13 months of streaming at 17.5k views

It's retarded to think that Finana got in as just a vtweeter who barely did any streams. We have aspies streaming for the better half of a year to get close to the 16k views that Finana had. That doesn't even include the fact that the bar is climbing with each wave that gets put out.

>>21071690
are you guys talking about vod views on twitch or what is that views number referring to

>>21072044
Total views on your streams tracked by Sullygnome. Doesn't count VODs only live views.

>>21067115
Let me frame your perspective.
You sound like an insecure salaryman worrying about an entry level role in a completely different career field where people your age has already hit middle management level.
This mindset is ngmi and would hinder you in networking. You forgot that streaming is a hobby first and foremost.

>>21072154
hey another site to tell me what i already know, at least this one also ranks me, neat.

Do you embellish your life stories while streaming? I've been hearing tips lately that it doesn't matter as long as it's entertaining to the audience and apparently Mea tends to make stuff up on the spot that sounds pretty believable

>>21070763
Yea my model is currently on waitlist for May after i sent in my stuff as references a couple days ago

>>21073129
this might be applicable, i haven't told any huge life stories yet, I haven't lived that kinda life to make them really interesting but having grown to like coney's storytime i feel like i could embellish some to sound more like that.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=_6_H2gpv_KU

i think he's really fukken good at talking in general and extremely good at building suspense with a great payoff in most of his stories. in his case they are true stories because he's been doing stuff. i think the more you want to make up, the better you have to be to get people invested in it.

>>21073129
>>21073762
Mark Twain wrote a book about how to tell stories, it was pretty good and I think it still applies to making your stream entertaining today. Also he dunks on europoors so that's pretty neat

Nyanya?
Nyaaa~

I've learned to despise the western audience due to various cultural issues (you know the ones). I've been considering learning Japanese. I have no delusion that it'll be easy or that I'll be fluent even in a year. But if I can learn a conversational amount, I'd then switch to a less cancerous cultural market. Plus I have a nice voice and I've heard Japanese women bust a nut for American men.
What do you guys think?

>>21074903
The japanese vtuber market is super super saturated and they're all on youtube. You can have people stream for years just to get 1000 subs and 10-20 viewers pandering to the Japanese audience.
If that's your goal then go for it.

>>21073949
Title? I want to be able to tell trippy stuff like him. The fact he could just improv the entire alice and wonderland to a kid one day is insane.

>>21075171
ENVtubing is oversaturated too. It doesn't matter if you're a girl cause you're guaranteed at least 50 CCV anyway, but for guys it's very important to understand. Learn Indonesian or something if you want to have a first-mover chance still.

>>21075333
The people who say ENvtubers are saturated are usually Holobronies who think having 11 members in HoloEN and 11 in NijiEN means it's over for the EN vtuber market.

God no, we have new indies popping up every month and growing huge and we still have vtubers growing every month in every single metric out there pandering to multiple different markets. We're only at the starting point of english vtubers and it'll have to take about 5 years before it reaches what Japan is like today.

>>21074903
>amerifat thinks asia is less liberal than "the west"
>amerifat thinks asian women will give him the time of day just because he's amerifat

Don't be dishonest anon, I hate women too, but 50 CCV sounds kinda far-fetched

>>21075641
I'm closer to americaskeleton, really.

>>21075702

>>21075584
>We're only at the starting point of english vtubers
Cope harder. The fact there are so many 0 viewers and more are starting every day is proof that we're already oversaturated. That's literally what oversaturated means.
Back in the beginning if you were to start vtubing then you were guaranteed at least enough viewers to only work part-time and still be able to support yourself if you vtubed on the side. That was back when not everyone had the technology. Now it's oversaturated. Stop coping.

>>21076028
Oversaturated means there's no way for non corpo vtubers can succeed and grow. We still have new names that became big out of nowhere in the past 6 months rivalling the top corpo vtubers. In japan if you're not joining a corpo you cant expect to succeed at all. Now that's saturated.

>>21076165
Oversaturated doesn't mean it's completely impossible to succeed.

>>21074639
N-Nyaaaan~! <3

it's yellow cat Fridey night! make some tea and enjoy you're weekend! Did you announce your schedules yet? Don't forget to uwu!

>>21067115
just embrace it. I frequently say zoomer shit on stream despite being well into my 30s, and my viewers all shit on me for it but it's a good time

>>21076165
>Oversaturated means there's no way for non corpo vtubers can succeed and grow.
That's not what it means. I work in an over-saturated career, that's well known for being over-saturated. People can still make grow and make money doing it solo from the ground up, it's not impossible. But it's incredibly unlikely due to so many others existing, including already big corpos. If you do work for existing corpos, the pay isn't great unless you're extremely lucky (think Vox who probably has no job anymore V.S. Bonnivier who only gets 5k views per video and probably doesn't make much money off it)

Oversaturated does not mean there's no chance, it means there's very little realistic chance. Continue coping.

What are the odds of getting kidnapped if you grow a big enough audience as a chuuba? A while back, Vienna had a scary experience in her apartment building.

I'm not telling you what I think until I get that voice.

Doesn't matter since 99% of them are hobbyist and don't impact your personal responsibility to take charge of your own growth.

>>21077548
Just assume it's true for the purpose of the question. The question isn't whether or not I have a nice voice. And also, there's a specific reason I can't post my voice online for the moment.

At this point I'm just using auditions as a character and VOD making exercise and not even bother hoping

>>21076028
have you considered that the 0 views are just uninteresting

>>21078321
It varies. A lot of 0 views are uninteresting. But due to the sheer amount of content creators, it can be difficult finding smaller ones who are good at what they do. The highest concentration of vtubers, the harder it is to find the diamonds in the rough.

>>21078716
>But due to the sheer amount of content creators, it can be difficult finding smaller ones
What?
When I open up Twitch, I can find 6 chuubas in my Recommendations sidebar. I don't have to sort through the hundreds of 0 view NGMIs. What do you think algorithms are for?

I sent my Niji audition on March 19th, and it still has 0 views. Bad sign?

>>21079491
Do you have ANY numbers whatsoever on your Youtube/Twitch/whatever other platforms you're on? Might have filtered you right away if they looked at your socials and you have like 0 engagement, not even bother watching.

hello aspfriends i posted my link here a bit ago n tried to implement some of the advice given, is it ok if i ask if i've improved the quality of my streams at all? and for more advice on how to turn from a ngmi to a gmi?

>>21079903
go for it

>>21079810
I have good but not outstanding Twitch numbers, 40ish average viewers and get about 50-100 views on my YT videos. Maybe I did get auto filtered.

>>21070763
I set the deadline on my PNG to be end of this month. I'm a vulture changeling who can transform into a human, but lived most of my life as a human because being a vulture is kinda shit.

>>21084349
A friend of mine was killed a decade ago by a distracted driver so I want you to know that you're a bad person who deserves to have bad things happen to them if you're streaming while actively driving. If you're stationary, cool, whatever

So you don't have a nice voice.

>>21077566
It does matter. Them being hobbyists or not does not effect all the viewers who would rather watch them than you.

>>21080274
thank you!!

https://imgur.com/a/Ee1MwuJ

it is the title of the imgur link (sorry i was kind of stupid about this i didn't know how else to go about it TT) bc i wanted to ask for some design advice as well

i feel like my design isn't unique enough to really capture peoples' attention and so i've been heavily considering redesigning, if you guys have anything that you think could be improved either content wise or design wise, i would be very grateful to hear it! or if my voice resonates as any sort of character that might be better fitting

i know design shouldn't have a huge emphasis but i personally really enjoy the art aspect of tubing so i hope that makes a little bit more sense for my situation

>>21070763
my design is ready!
my model art is in the works and will be finished in ~2-3weeks.
it's a basic hoodie but my artist added cute details to make it unique.
I dislike over designed outfits so simple is better for me. I always worried that hoodies are to generic but honestly they just look good.
I had an old design concept that was pretty cunny but my new model
is gonna be megumin sized.

>>21070763
my design has been done for several months, just been really slow on rigging

>>21086728
>does not effect all the viewers who would rather watch them than you.
If you can't beat casual hobbyists, you were never going to make it in the first place.

>>21086889
ah, the dog! i gave some comments the last time you posted here but i'm more familiar with league than i am with HLM; i'll jump around your vod for that and point some stuff out
>12:20-12:40
the thing about league of legends that anyone who plays it will know is that... there really isn't anything that happens until like 1:30 when you actually encounter your laner. you talked about how you were still in base, said let's go, but other than that there was no commentary on anything during your entire walk up to lane
you could have mentioned then how fighting fucking LB in top lane would feel awful early on if you wanted to focus on game commentary; i know you address someone in your chat as they mention something about fortnite but i'm sure you know you won't always have a chat to bounce off of
>1:08:14-1:08-34
another spot where you kinda don't say much even though you're in a situation where you could say things but you kinda just silently get your ass beat by wukong until he kills you
its late so i'm not gonna jump around more but there were other spots in between where i didn't make comments because the commentary and chat interaction was fine
also don't over think your design its cute i don't think redesigning is what you need

>>21074903
>Plus I have a nice voice and I've heard Japanese women bust a nut for American men.
Probably not you, though. Not with that attitude.
Also, that's such a fucking stupid blanket generalization to make about the relationship between Japanese and Americans, of all people.
Do you... know much about what Americans got up to in Japan in the last 100 years and what kind of reputation we have over there?

>>21088681
My attitude on here and my attitude when producing content or out in public is completely different. And I'm basing my statement on things I've learned from watching a large amount of videos talking to Japanese people about various things over the years.

>>21088793
>And I'm basing my statement on things I've learned from watching a large amount of videos
you mean out of context clips from /gif/ and cherrypicked clipbait "japs love white boys" youtube videos that were all the rage back in 2014?

>>21088951
No. YouTube videos from the past several years.

>>21088793
Buddy... They will be able to smell that attitude on you no mater how far in the back of your mind it might be. They will be able to see it in your eyes.

>>21088988
I've seen just as many videos where Japanese women say they wouldn't date a foreigner because there are too many cultural differences between them and that they see them as womanizers.

>>21088635
thank you for giving me such constructive feedback every time aspfriend!! you truly are someone i think fondly of :D

i actually have some pretty silly memories of league when i was a baby streamer, i remember being so tilted about having 0 viewers consistently until i realized the problem was quite literally, league (and probably how i interacted with it)

i wanted to try it again and i thought since ranked reset happened it would be easier to make it entertaining... that stream was definitely one of my worst ones recently, thank you for breaking down some points of improvement though!! the timestamps really helped

and thank you again, if it's really not the design then i just have to do my personality building reps... TT i will become funnydog one day, trust the process!

>>21088988
>No. YouTube videos from the past several years.
drop a dogwhistle for your design i want to laugh when you announce your graduation on twitter to zero followers.

>>21089037
>womanizers
women love them though. they just never admit it

>>21089037
I've seen a fair handful of them as well. It's not across-the-board attraction to Americans, but there is a large number of those who are big into Americans. The primarily barrier I see from those who say "No" to dating an American is the language barrier.

>>21089106
How many relationships have you been in?

>>21089124
>but there is a large number of those who are big into Americans.
there isn't. you only think this if your only exposure to japanese women is through scripted and edited youtube clips made for clickbait.

>I will be vchuuba and nihonjin girls will thirst over me because I'm white
Can't make this shit up.
Lots of straight up delusional aspies popping up these days

>>21089214

tell yourself this

>>21089422
Not them, but I am the guy that started this conversation with you. I'm a white American guy that just happened to hit it off with a Japanese girl from my school's sister school. You stand no chance. Your attitude is horrible and you sound like a fucking moron.
>>21089461
No, someone who is willing to give Japanese women enough respect as a demographic to not just paint them as people that crave white men wrote that. I love busting out the "jealous white woman" joke and this just isn't the appropriate way to use it. You are giving us yellow fever dudes such a bad name right now, man.

>>21089461
I'm literally a jp esl. But sure, keep thinking Japanese women are scripted npcs that will do exactly what you imagine in your head. It's not like we're human with preferences or anything.

what a wrong day to open /asp/.

hope the singing project anon goes through with his plan.

i guess back when feef posted here back in june?

>>21089833
That guy really picked the exact wrong moment to post all that shit in here, huh.

>>21089833
Well that explains it. You're some JP who can't get in with women and you're jealous some amerifat might smash your crush.

>>21090519
>the anon never specified their gender
>also they used "we're" when talking about jp women.
Sir, I diagnose you with cope

You're just gonna keep replying to bait aren't you

>be completely retarded
>herrr i was just baiting

>>21090782
weak bait but the dude sounded dead serious early on and is now playing it off.

>>21090780
Not that anon, but trannies don't count.

>>21089077
of course! I think the fact that you have past streaming experience that went wrong with league could also be a talking point is you were to every go back to it, though I get the feeling of a stream not going the way you expect it to go and you not wanting to do it again
and yeah, personality really is more important than your design once you have something that doesn't look incredibly off-putting; I wouldn't think anyone would see your design and click away because of it so you just need to draw them in with you being you... that's something i'm still grappling with myself, haha
I'm sure one day we'll interact properly outside of here whether it be actually catching one of your streams or interacting with you on twitter but I wish you the best of luck doggo!

>>21073129
Yes.
Obviously?

Don't turn it into something like "and then everyone stood and applauded", but some embellishment is easy enough to pass off.
Also, you can lie about who the event happened to.
Did something funny happen to a friend?
Nope, it was you.
Did a housemate's sister's partner's child do something stupid?
Nope, it was a cousin.

If you lie outright, it can be hard to keep track of, but exaggerating works wonders

3d is the future of vtubing. There are limitless possibilities in the 3d realm with 3d models that clunky 2d paper moving cannot accomplish.

>>21091497
nice timeloop bait. at least wait a few days

>>21091311
Why would you go on the internet and lie?

>>21091497
>3d is the future of vtubing
Is this why almost all the top chuubas from a year+ ago who started with 3D have swapped to 2D? Most people do not have the hardware to make full use of a 3D model and I can tell you from experience as someone who does that it's a tedious and time-consuming process working with and managing a 3D model and its updates.

>>21091642
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQjG1TmDkNE
The japanese are already able to track their entire body with nothing but a webcam. But yeah 2d is so great because you can shake your head left and right.
>>21091802
Also girl_dm is 3d and she is pretty successful. In her last stream she moved her hands around, something you could never do with 2d.

stop replying to bait jesus christ.

>>21091876
wahoo replying to bait on /asp/ on a friday night yeehaw what could be better

Oh right, silly me.

>>21091850
she also acknowledges both have the pros and cons

>>21089422
You picked a good day to announce yourself, the seething that came in is a nice change of pace.

>>21092073
The only pros and cons I see is 3d getting more and more development with limitless possibilities going forward while 2d hits a clear wall of limitations since the entire basis is just stretching a 2d image around and there are limits to how far you can stretch an image.

/asp/ is 10% aspies and 90% bait

>>21092251
easily one of the worst threads in months

>>21092347
I would imagine it will be topped sooner rather than later as well

>>21092347
not as bad as when they had to make two (2) /asp/ threads to separate actual aspies from the rest. I think it was last month. The schizo version stayed at the top of /vt/ for a while before it died down

>>21092211
You know a lot of people just flat out prefer 2D, right? There's a reason so many people gravitate towards it and why a majority of the biggest names focus mainly on 2D models. Both have their place, but there's no reality in which 3D takes over 100%.

Outside of tracker-based tracking (which is extremely expensive, niche, and often difficult to troubleshoot and work with), there's no real reliable method to gain natural movement. That alone is a large prohibitory.

Cameras and devices like the Leap Motion can pick up movement well but the range of motion is extremely limited and the speed in which you can move is significantly lowered as well, I've tested both methods and camera based tracking is just not responsive enough.

>gets full mocap 3D
>streams sitting down playing games with hands off screen for 99.5% of the time
>0.5% of the time spent waving to the 4 unique viewers that stop by randomly over 6 hours
?

>>21092578
Basically this. Even if it's to 300 people, you're still not going to be doing much. 3D has it's place (Things like VRChat or special events you might do) but 2D is much more practical, nicer to look at, and more easily accessible for your average streamer.

>>21092496
Yeah, that was something. And then the one person in particular that needed to be quarantined went to the wrong thread

>>21092578
>>21092658
exactly these. /asp/ is for new streamers. don't spend on shit you don't need or even know how to make the most of.

>>21092502

Hello /asp/, does anyone know any cheap ways to soundproof my room even if its only a little bit? My walls are paper-thin and I've been receiving noise complaints from my neighbors.

>>21095212
good sound proofing is hard to make cheap but consider things like egg cartoons, towels or even doing a DIY sound booth with PVC pipes and thick blankets if you have the room for it

|[]

>>21092578
I think it depends on what kind of content you plan on making. If you're going to be a lil lower right hand corner streaming goblin, a 2D model would work best. If you're going to make VR Chat type videos or do 3D animation, 3D is your go to.

Hey /asp/, let's say you're able to stream full 7 days everyweek, but will you still choose one of day for resting?

>>21096642
yes

>>21096642
If you're doing something everyday without any rest days, you'll speedrun burnout 100%. 1-3 days where you take a break is better for mental and physical health in the long term

Groomerfag here. Why are you guys getting personalized/comissioned avatars from the get go? Around here it is very common to buy a non-unique model with good rigging from the jp market and just start streaming, only getting unique stuff later on. Hell, most people think you have an unique model if you do your homework and grab a good one since very few people speak japanese in the first place. I have been following a talented chuuba for two months now, she's entering 3 view territory and going to debut a "proper" unique avatar in two weeks.

Sometimes I see people spending far too much on theirs before they even have a viewerbase, or making their own and being laughed ITT. You can mog over half of indies with $40(or less) model with rigging included, anons. Do ir.

>>21098414
I'm an artist and drew my own model just like I draw anything else on my own and rarely ever commission because I'm a little secretive about my OC stuff.
Not using my own art as the centerpiece of my streams just sounds wrong. Maybe if I wasn't confident enough to express myself, I would use someone else's model but I'm fully capable of making my own shit.

>>21098414
>3 views in two months
shes not talented

>>21096642
Streaming 7 days a week is the stupidest fucking thing you can do. Streaming isn't the only skill or job that a content creator has and if you're streaming 7 days a week you most likely won't have time to do anything else that'll help you grow unless you're mid-subathon

>>21098414
>or making their own and being laughed ITT
money problems and/or artistic pride.

>>21098414
It's not common at all and something that's only recently become a fad (or maybe a realization) after seeing the Vampire and Onee-chan avatar do well. Almost no one did this prior to the last month or so.

>>21098573
I understand. By the way, does your art translate well into a model?
>>21099848
>money problems
Thats the thing, there are starving jp artists out there selling entire models+rigging for the price of a a westerner's single picture comission. And then there are the people dropping $300+ on comissioned, unique models to even start streaming
>>21099906
Weird, I have seen this being done by my country's indies for eight months now. I'm surprised it took this long for people to realize this - I guess the appeal of "me, but anime" is too strong.

>>21100083
>there are starving jp artists out there selling entire models+rigging for the price of a a westerner's single picture comission
where doko?

>>21100355
Sites like this one, which is where she found the dude who made hers. You'll have to do a bit of digging though. https://booth.pm

>>21100083
>does your art translate well into a model?
Weird question unless you don't know how Live2D works. Anything can be made into a model, and if you can draw a symmetrical human, it'll translate well enough with the right amount of work.

>>21098639
I have to assume that guy is either baiting, or means 3-digits because he's got holorot.

>>21101524
Mostly I was thinking of how Irys' avatar got heavily debuffed in the translation to the model, actually.
>>21101600
I thought he was baiting me in turn. There's no way niggers here "groom" people with literal 2 viewers, so 2/3view has to be about the number of digits, right? ...right?

Found this on booth for like 25$.
Worth?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLSYG8Dy1Bo&t=1s

>>21101748
I never understood complaints about Irys's model, if anything I think huke's art translated worse into L2D than redjuice's did considering they both do render heavy work but then had to clean up for L2D, but Kiara had a MUCH better rigger than Irys did.

do you guys think a fluctuating 40-60 CCV, 2yrs of streaming, and graphic designs skills will catch nijisanji’s eyes lol

We're not nijisanji so we wouldn't know.
Just do your best and keep applying

>>21102494
man, you need to find the causes of your retention problem. Not growing over 2 years despite having people coming and going is not good.

do you think political chuubas can work?
it's election year in my country so i was thinking that maybe i could take advantage of that

>>21103582
>political chuubas
fuck no

>>21103582
Very recently a russian chuuba did an "anti imperialistic" stream, it's not her main schtick though. That said politics is very divisible so you'll alienate a lot of people regardless of what you do. And many people who'd agree with your views might not give you a chance purely because they watch vtubers to escape from this shit

>>21102494
How did you manage to grow to 40-60 ccv in the first place?

>>21103582
no
t. /pol/
Not if you want to eventually gather numbers anyway.

>>21103745
i personally would feel devastated if someone came to my stream to relax or whatever and they leave because i dragged them out of that zone. if you wanna be political that's probably not a problem just know it will be hard to get people to watch, it's probably gonna be an extreme echo chamber from the start and you have to specify that as you start streaming at all so people know beforehand otherwise that will devolve into disappointment.

does twitch have any rules regarding politics? i guess they can't ban it outright but you might get reported more. besides even if you are politics nutter wouldn't you want discourse more than yes-men? streaming unfortunately can only really be the latter by design at least the majority of the time. nobody wants to argue with you AND the rest of the chat

>>21079810
Have others got views?

>>21104873
>does twitch have any rules regarding politics?
Yes you're not allowed to be ""right-wing"". It's not picked up by any bot though so you're only susceptible to reports, so as a 0 views you won't have any problem. Just be aware that twitch mods are very twitchy regarding "social" issues.

heard people could adjust their mic settings to sound better, how do i do that?

>>21101943
pretty basic rigging but for 25 bucks that's a good deal

>>21107066
Most mics can sound decent under certain conditions.
For starters, you can throw blankets on any exposed flat part of your room. You can put a sock on your mic and talk at it from about a foot away loudly and clearly.
You make sure to adjust your gain so it does not peak and you can cut off some of the highs or lows if they are particularly unpleasant.

How many of you guys are waiting to be able to afford a model to properly start making things?

>>21114471
Not me, I made my own model!

>>21114471
i actually just got the money to fund one from my tax refund literally a week ago.

>>21114471
I wanted to start faceless and network as faceless but anons said I need PNG

>>21114471
money has never been an issue for me since i work full-time and i don't plan to monetize my stream, and i am getting a proper model done just now, but i didn't let that stop me from streaming scuffed for over a year.

>>21098414
This sounds like a very solid approach, but how do you make sure that the non-unique model is not used by other chuubas? Wouldn't it be awkward if you start streaming with model A and then you realized that model was also being used by 2 other people?

>>21114914
It's more about something to recognize you by. Content creators usually have a unique pfp/avatar that leaves an impression and is recognizable. For chuubas it's a png. Nothing wrong with starting out faceless but you won't have an anchor that makes people remember you, so it's harder to grow

>>21115046
Doing reps? Of course someone is going to be using it in the world, but the internet is a big place. As long as none of the locals are using the same one you can take it with you for a good while - it's cheap and supposed to be temporary, anyway.

>>21114471
i'm waiting to be able to afford a mic

>>21092211
you're not wrong. 3D has more future potential and will become more mainstream and commercially accessible.
but getting a 2D model is not a waste. personally I think 3D models that are modeled after a 2D model just look better. truth be told there are just simply more 2D artists that have a unique artstyle that will never learn or do 3D so if you want a certain artstyle you want to get a 2D model first anyway. I've also seen 3D artist ask for a L2D psd because while they can model they can't draw well.
I don't think getting a 3D model is a necessity and I highly doubt it ever will. you don't really need full body tracking to be a good streamer.

>>21098414
it's for myself.

Do you guys have a written story/description or personal sketches you have been developing?

>>21114471
everyone in this thread who does this should just start as a png, find out first if you actually enjoy streaming/content creation before you waste $$$ on model and rigging.

Also if you're ngmi without a model you're also ngmi with one

>>21119815
first anon here, I bought an adoptable design a while back, and I decided to make it into a vtuber now. I made up a very small description that i can build on later just so the character has something to work with and makes sense.

Are there any reddit pages to promote yourself as a vtuber?

>>21120681
unless you have a cover, $3k rigging for tits or have some big event you want to show off don't use reddit.

>>21119815
Second anon here, I'm currently drafting stuff on the avatar creator sites from the pastebin as reference for commission. Will commission a chibi png to start out. Haven't thought of a lore yet but that would come later I guess

r/VirtualYoutubers can get some eyes on you
r/twitch and /streamers are ways of getting people to check your account
r/[game] can maybe function to drop your edited clips, depending on their self-promo rule

>>21123356
i second the r/game route in particular for specific games. For example, if you had a funny interaction in a fighting game or a pretty cool combo or what have you, it's free traffic. Especially if you have vtuber-obsessed people see a new character they don't know.

>>21123356
>r/VirtualYoutubers can get some eyes on you
most of the posts here have 2-3 upvotes
>r/twitch and /streamers are ways of getting people to check your account
the majority of posts here are downvoted as just shills. don't try to disguise your shill post by asking for "critical feedback" because the subreddit has been spammed with so much crap they can tell. it's also the worst place to be since retards who have been streaming for 8 months without hitting affiliate proudly providing their opinions and bad takes.

to add on to this, the "just stream" advice is pretty solid and creates positive shill moments like this. People (mostly) won't click the shill if it's just you and general content. You have to hook them in.

no

i've got a small update on my design, i'm still not 100% convinced with the face but the artist has been helping me so much i'm willing to accept i'm kinda overdoing it at this point.

it ended up being more generic, but i think that's sort of the point for the type of character i'm going for. he has a lot of personal importance for me and that isn't shown through his design. i will have a couple interesting things on his clothes that catch attention but the face should definitely be just shonenmckirito with maybe not 100% slider to anime. (which is why i commissioned a western artst). I think i really like it.

>>21127344
Looks good! Hope everything goes well for you

>>21127344
>i'm still not 100% convinced with the face
Maybe try to be specific, maybe we can help you identify the problem?
What about a lower/stronger jaw?

>>21127451
If you want to, i compiled some information here:

https://pastebin.com/mwtgn52P

This was my answer to him wanting references. I added the pic i sent him and i also included the artists sketches for posting it here. I believe my biggest problem is not really "knowing" what i want. I know the character very well (because it's my own), but i never made a visual design for him. So i'm relying on the artist randomly stumbling upon something i like. I even believe the references i gave were too far apart and i'd like to see a lot of those incorporated in one which is frankly impossible. I've tried to go more "i want to convey this mood" rather than "he needs blue eyes and a scar across the face" if that makes sense. I don't need accessories i just need the vibe to fit the personality.

I did settle to get a full 8 picture portraits for my RPG maker project and general posting (like older jrpgs used to have, grandia big inspiration here) so i hope that alleviates some of my troubles because what i think i'm looking for is multiple expressions. This is a rather personal thing so i'm trying very hard to not bother the artist with non-sense, but i do want to be satisfied with it and he's been amazing so far. Not sure what i'm looking for here, i think i'll manage but maybe some of this is fun for you to read anon. Also i'm REALLY bad at picking references.

>>21125795
If you don't speak Japanese you shouldn't be worrying about it anyway, this seems like a question asked for a very specific reason.

>>21124109
>the majority of posts here are downvoted as just shills
Ah, sorry, I wasn't clear.
You use it for posting advice to other people's queries. So if they ask "how do you get affiliate", then spam out some the normal trite rubbish of "network network network".
Trawl through the posts by new, give some useful feedback, and you'll get them checking out your other posts, in other subreddits, so they check out your channel.

Don't just shill, aim to be a useful part of the conversation

Don't take it too hard, but this is anon and this may be of help to you so I'm going to be brutal.
>Right model is mostly fine, left model is scuffed.
>mouth weird
>Nostrils are too heavy for the designs, more contrast issues in certain places
>Eyes are slightly off
>Rough wild hair tucked behind ears in stupid
>He does not have enough special facial features to carry him around, usually the antidote to that would be to either have a more recognizable face or add other design elements that make him recognizable.
>One of the hallmarks of a bad design is that it does not tell much of a story. Default human got out of bed and wore default outfit. You have to think about what this character has lived through to get there. Do they have an alliance, what kind of facial structures they got and what kind of expressions someone like that carries. What kind of weapon he uses... You don't want to over design, but you don't want to under design either, especially in the case of a character that has to show up a lot like a vtuber model.
I did this with a mouse, fuck you.

I think it's the eyebrows. It's the only thing that really differs from the references. That and maybe a slightly larger mouth. The eyebrows he gave you are a bit higher than all your references and they shouldn't arc as much by default, they should look more like the angry expression (without overdoing it, you don't want angry face all the time). Not sure if I convery the point across properly, if you don't understand me, just look at your reference, they are ALL like this.
If these aren't your problems, I say settle with it, because it's otherwise as good as it will get, your artist did a good job at fusing the references you gave him.

>>21128890
>So if they ask "how do you get affiliate", then spam out some the normal trite rubbish of "network network network".
90% of this is ignored. It's a bunch of blind leading the blind. You don't want to end up as just another name that people ignore since they can check your account and see you're not even an affiliate yourself.

Gotta invest in a new monitor or small TV friend :) and move your console into your stream area, mine sits on top of my gaming rig

>>21098414
Some people are just rich and can afford it

>>21096642
The other anon was spot on. The best thing you can do is be a content creator first and a streamer second. The streaming is just the primary content you create and should only be done max 4 times a week. You should spend the rest of the time you have that week making other content for other platforms: making stream clips, youtube videos, memes, upgrade graphics on your stream, record covers, make music videos, etc.

Even spending that time learning a new skill that will help you improve your content is a better use of your time than streaming 7 days a week. Learn photoshop or premiere pro, practice a new language, take singing lessons, erc.

There’s probably a niche for it, I’m sure there are anime fans out there that like to talk politics. Tbh in an ever
-saturated industry, the best thing you can do is adopt a niche and cultivate a following that way. Once you establish yourself as the Politics vtuber and no one else is doing that, you’ll eventually gain a cult following.

>>21107066
I recommend searching for youtube videos on this, there are a lot out there. Search something for: how to make my mic sound better in obs. That’ll give you step by step guides on how to adjust your settings.

>>21103582
>do you think political chuubas can work?
it does work but you have to actually be smart and not a /pol/fag

Thanks for taking the time. I do think you raise some valid points. You might have a point with the facial structure, I'm not sure how good you are at art, because even with knowing basics some of these are hard to spot. I'll cross check these with a bunch of other art friends but i do agree the ears at least were weird to me too. As for the design features. There's a list of them for this character, they just won't come out in his face. This is detrimental for vtubing (since its gonna be what people look at the most), but this character is more an expression of my own story i wanted to do and getting popular through him is the least of my concerns. I wont bore you with details, most the interesting bits are on his clothes and sword more especially. He also gets the dragon transformation that my younger self ripped straight out of BOF3.

>>21130019
Thanks for the help there too. I get your points, it's not always easy visualizing. Considering this guy mostly specializes in creature concept art and the like he's been doing a really good job, but ill make sure i get my money's worth.

Even if it does work
Why make timely comments on current events?
Unless you plan to go far with it it will have no impact.
You will have a lot more impact warming people's hearts or giving them a good laugh and some company.

Ok but how do you grow your viewers from absolute 0? Like, me and my smart fridge alone won't make it.

>>21132019
>why bother enjoying a hobby the way you want to enjoy it?
>why don't you enjoy it the way i would enjoy it?
????

>>21132070
Do you enjoy talking about politics?
I am genuinely asking. I feel like most people want confirmation or to make a difference.
All I'm saying is that you can make a bigger difference doing many other things that would be a lot more valued for most.

>>21132042
What is something you like to do? Stream yourself doing that and expressing your expertise in the area and you might get a follower or a few.

Next, watch the stream and clip out any moments you think are useful:
- Did you say something funny?
- Did you teach something that others could learn from?
- Did you have some unique experience you’ve never had before while doing it?

Clip those and post the videos to youtube and twitter. Put vtuber tags on the content and people will follow you.

Rinse and repeat forever and you will grow. It will not be fast but you won’t be 0view anymore :)

>>21132042
Join discords, and check the twitter networking link in the OP

>>21132042
Stream consistently
Have a consistent presence
Post clips
Be engaging on stream
network with other chuubas.

I went from absolute 0 to affiliate in about 2 months like that.

What is the best way to stream console games using OBS, in terms of actual setups? I don’t have the room for a second monitor on my table (27” honker + mid tower) and i don’t want to have to drag that out to the living room with my PC. My two laptops (mid-2012 and M1 MBPs) can’t use OBS Link for two separate reasons: 2012 apparently can’t do USB 3 anymore or I can’t find the OG C to A cable, and OBS Link doesn’t support M1.
I also have an HO dv6 from early 2012 as well but lord… that thing is slow as balls.

>Do you enjoy talking about politics?
>I am genuinely asking.
why are you asking me? go ask the other anon. even then it's his fucking life why are you trying to thought police a fucking hobby?
>you can make a bigger difference
maybe he doesn't want to make a "difference" whatever the fuck that means. maybe he just wants to shitpost about politics as an anime guy in a suit with a half mask.

>>21098414
Because I could afford it and thought it would be fun. I saved for a few months and spent less than $1000 on something that I thought looked cool and was a good embodiment of my personality; something that I would feel comfortable streaming behind, basically.
Ultimately, I did it because I wanted to.

>>21132454
>maybe he just wants to shitpost about politics as an anime guy in a suit with a half mask.
Not them, but god forbid someone try to give him some advice and tell him that's a horrible use of your time, I guess

>>21132533
>some advice and tell him that's a horrible use of your time
yeah fuck you enjoying your hobby and wasting your time because it's not making a difference. how dare an anon spend time doing what he wants to do.

>>21132475
based

>>21132569
I mean, sperging out about politics online genuinely isn't very good for your brain. Politics are genuinely a waste of time and engaing in some fruitless vanity project where you pontificate about what red and blue are doing wrong and gee isn't yellow the greatest is some of the dumbest shit you could possibly use your brain to do. You do you, I guess!

>>21132016
If you are seeing potential in the edit and you are willing to pay, I would love to show you my previous work in private. I am good at making recognizable, unique faces and character design.
The payment goes Free sketch>Half>finished work>second half.
I'm sorry for shilling myself, but I don't like being hungry.
Thank you for your consideration.

>>21132699
>You do you, I guess!
again, i'm not that fucking anon. i just think you're being a turbofaggot for thoughtpolicing how someone wants to spend their time.

>>21132855
Are you not doing the exact same thing right now? I'm just giving my opinion and you're going "Nooooooo MY opinion is the correct opinion!!"
Also I know you're not him because I can read. Good fucking god you are dumb as shit and annoying to boot. Another opinion of mine.

>>21132931
go back to /pol/

>>21132454
You got stupid touchy about me bringing up politics may be negative.
Is this really your hill to die on?
Whatever, man, you do you.

>>21132995
I've never read /pol/ before. I'm literally inssiting that political discussion is a waste of time and ultimately just boils down to us vs. them bullshit. You are fucking dumb as hell dude

>>21132042
Do you like editing? I grew from 0 viewers by making YouTube videos on the game I play.
Still a 4view, but 4 is better than 0

>>21131851
>actually be smart
>political streamer
lol there is plenty of counter evidence to this
its more about having extreme views for clout in whatever politcal faction you identify as and having a personality

>>21132042
Try out trends and have a niche
>>21132422
Maybe you could use your phone in there somehow to make a second monitor

>>21132042
>Ok but how do you grow your viewers from absolute 0?
don't stream. make content. share it on social media.

how long is your self pr in the niji form?

>>21133867
Aspies can go on a political tangent for hours but can't give this dude some answers. Mine is 2 paragraphs long. Get it done

>>21136109
But dude, this is 4chan. I thought this was a safe space to talk about how cool it is to be a redpilled anime streamer. Way to thought police.

>>21136109
The absolute state of /asp/

what's your opinion on Hololive?

>>21139081
I like them. I want to join them

Is it a bad idea to post my stream in ASP to get critique from other people?

>>21140364
yeah, you would only get critique from /asp/

Heya anons! I'm going to be drawing some vtubers so leave me your designs and I might draw em!

>>21140684
I sent a tweet out, but thought it was worth an ask, ah well
