/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>5777826
Shitposting aside, this doesn't actually mean anything.
1. Kizuna Ai earned her subs when the vtuber scene was much smaller. 3 mil then was like 30 mil now.
2. Ai-chan laid the groundwork for modern vtubing. Everyone is standing on her shoulders.
3. Ai-chan has way more going for her than just her youtube channel. She's even on TV sometimes. Her youtube channel doesn't matter that much.

Ai-chan has basically achieved chuuba CHIM and that isn't going to change anytime soon.

>>5777826
Yeah, it's a foregone conclusion at this point, not sure why people keep making threads about it.

>>5777826
soda has 4M now

Yea soda aint shit, he was on the scene for 10 years, while Gura's still not even a year. absolute state of sodaniggers

>1. Kizuna Ai earned her subs when the vtuber scene was much smaller. 3 mil then was like 30 mil now.
if this is true, why has neither kizuna ai nor anyone else reached 3 million, let alone done it within a year?

>2. Ai-chan laid the groundwork for modern vtubing. Everyone is standing on her shoulders.
sure, indisputable

>3. Ai-chan has way more going for her than just her youtube channel. She's even on TV sometimes. Her youtube channel doesn't matter that much.
true, but this is also a cope. because the numbers are still there.

APEX PREDATOR

>>5777994
your cope is showing, and this is coming from someone who doesn't care which one reaches 3 mil

>>5778084
Soda has only used Live2D in half her streams since embracing her true form it only counts as 2M.

>>5777994
Kizuna Ai isn't fading into obscurity yet, but it's a bit ridiculous to say that it doesn't mean "anything". The Kizuna AI channel obviously still cares about total sub count when they're still posting videos trying to get people to subscribe. And it's a big deal when the person who "laid the groundwork" is first surpassed.

>>5777826
>first to reach 3 million
laughable

>>5777994
ogey

damn kolone's still the king of jp?

>>5777994
I have always found it weird that Aifags quite often seem to cope by claiming that Ai is successful at everything but vtubing

>>5778686
>if this is true, why has neither kizuna ai nor anyone else reached 3 million, let alone done it within a year?
Because Kizuna Ai's youtube heyday was when the vtuber scene was much smaller.

>true, but this is also a cope. because the numbers are still there
If you realize it's true, you should also realize it isn't a cope.

hehe now what huh?

Perfectly balanced

>>5777826
What the fuck? Did she get a huge injection in numbers recently? I know she was getting it pretty close, but wasn't she at like 2.5 like a week ago?

>>5779590
Good, the fewer people like you the better.

>>5779656
Nah, her growth wasn't THAT big. I think she was about 2.8 something mil. But she has grown a lot faster than usual after the release of Reflect and the extra growth doesn't seem to be tapering either.

>>5779590
Aifriends owned epic style!

>>5779608
Nice non-argument. Enjoy Ai just selling normie shit to otaku until companies realize that her brand recognition is not what it used to be and doing shitty dance videos on TikTok, I guess.

Gura is now the BIGGEST VTuber that has EVER existed in the ENTIRE WORLD. That's how amazing she is.

>>5779797
Seethe, mald and dilate, chumcuck.

Remember that Ai is Michael Jackson while Gura is Prince.

>>5779226
it's an optical camera you retard

>>5780152
Gura is a skirt steak burger and Ai is a Big Mac.

>>5779571
>Because Kizuna Ai's youtube heyday was when the vtuber scene was much smaller.
Fewer fans, sure, but also a lot less competition. Being one of the only vtubers that anyone knew about was a massive boost to her numbers.

why are chumbuds like this?

Can't wait til gura hits it just so cumbabies will stop shitting up the board about it

>>5780467
Why do Aifags keep bringing an out of context image about FBK talking about other holos?

>>5780467
CHUM FOR THE CHUM JAR

Real talk though, how will the nips react once the inevitable happens?

>>5780687
They won't react at all.

Ded subs

>>5780687
The most anyone outside this schizo board will react will be "oh wow cool, Gura has more subs now" and they'll move on with their lives. Nothing material will change in the industry; both Ai and Gura will continue doing their own thing.

>>5780687
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

>>5780717
I mean I'm sure it'd get at least a brief mention on an online article like how Holomembers get one for crossing the big 1mil ( they might wait until she gets to 3 mil though). Still, Ai has been the most subscribed vtuber for so long that someone surpassing her would be at least surprising for the nips.

>>5780687
They won't care because they don't think Gura is a bitch.

>>5780687
They'll launch a campaign to make Gura graduate. They learned from the bugs that it works. Look at Coco. It may take months. But eventually, she'll be worn down, and they will be victorious.

Enjoy your time with Gura while it lasts.

>>5778621
If we're letting soda count, we have to count the Vtuber god pewdiepie.

>>5778084
pokimane has 7.9M

>>5781193
rrats and all but I'm scared of shit like this now.

The fact that actually won makes me unironically seeth so if they do that to my Oshi I'd be pretty... frustrated.

>>5779608
Yeah anon, it's us chumbuds every damn time.

>>5783006
Have you tried not making Gura vs Ai threads every day?

>>5780467
Reminder that Fubuki hates you reposting this.

>>5783194
i am her kareshi and can confirm that fubuki-chan doesn't care either way, as long as she gets her kane

Some people think that the numberfag drama surrounding Gura will die down after she passes Kizuna Ai but if she starts succeeding in music, then there's going to be a whole lot of new bullshit she'll have to wade through.

>>5783148
I've never made a thread, I usually post in ggg and hlgg. I only lurk around these bait threads to see schizos, falseflaggers pretend to be chumbuds, and other fanbases such as nousagis whenever Pekora has better numbers than Gura. This time is aifag and chumkek...

>>5783006
Sure, that's why (You) made this thread right? Now stop stirring shit.

>>5783639
>chumbuds don't make these threads
>but chumbuds cheer them on
why are chumbuds like this

>>5781482
I have no subs

>>5783464
Gura could cure cancer and people would find something to shit on her anyway.
>hurr think of the doctors' jobs

>>5783194
Why would she not want us to spread the word of unity?

2.95 mil dead subs vs 2.96 mil dead subs. Who the fuck cares?

>>5779213
Symbolic value, sure.

>>5783852
Mabye I did make this thread

>>5779213
why did no one care when sora was surpassed?

>>5784672
berri mistereos!

>>5783863
I always thought shitpost split threads like this one were made to entertain the bored posters/lurkers who decide to take a look. People actually take these seriously?

>>5779756
her birthday and the festival also helped

Wasn't kizuna standing on the shoulder of vocaloids though? I think someone else would have gotten the idea anyway.

>>5787124
Ai was an amalgamation of various aspects from Japanese entertainment and Internet culture.

>>5781193
Japan actually has law enforcement, so it can't work with Jap schizos.

you don't know what dead subs looks like if you think gura hitting a million vod views on numberous videos is dead subs.

I'll show you what dead subs looks like
https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/angryjoeshow
https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UC4YaOt1yT-ZeyB0OmxHgolA

that's what dead subs look like from two channels close to gura's sub count.

>>5777826
the amount of butthurt in this thread from the old guards is palapable.
Vtubing is a new hobby and the newest and most innovative will rise to the top.

No king rules forever.

You know this site just makes up numbers, right?

>>5794879
I think is a guesstimate, not completly made up.

Gura has been through much worse than the Chinks.
No matter how bad they get, this life is more fulfilling to her than her old one.
She'll be okay.

>>5794879
Either they use an alternative method to scrape data outside the API, or they guess off the sub growth regression and its very accurate. I was refreshing both pages the other day because i was curious and the counter accurately caught the movement from 2.90 to 2.91.

>>5795061
>guesstimate
it's completely made up, just like that word
