If you went from watching corporate vtubers to indie vtubers, are you happier now?
Why or why not?

>> No.57772394

Yes. My oshi was a corpo that went indie because her agency dissolved. It's the best thing that ever happened to her as a chuuba.

>> No.57772432

the chances of finding the best vtuber for you personally if you limit yourself to a very small pool of vtubers is much smaller (but it totally does happen for a lot of people, to be clear). most holofans literally don't know what they're missing out on because they treat yagoo as their personal filter. if you aren't brainrotted by corporate loyalty, there's minimal difference between "chuuba" and "chuuba, hololive" unless you're really personally invested in hololive's projects.

rather than corporate/indie, i see the big distinction as big chuuba/small chuuba. and small chuubas as a general rule will always be far superior to big chuubas for being parasocial. my oshi isn't THAT small (solid 3view), but she knows who I am and she knows things about me and notices when I'm missing. I can think of several times I brought her to a laughing fit from something I said/did. I'm not gonna be sliding into her DMs any time soon, but I fucking love her far, far more than I ever loved any holomem.

lots of people will derive enjoyment from the literal popularity of their chuuba like, y'know, numberfaggots. and lots of people will derive enjoyment from the success of the corpo they're loyal to like, y'know, catalogfaggots. but if you're someone who's sincerely interested in enjoying a chuuba, it's definitely worthwhile to check out smaller corpo/indie chuubas for a perfect fit (because I guarantee there's one out there).

Why not both? That's what I do
But with that experience I have to say that it is much easier to find someone I might like in a corpo than in the endless ocean of indies because corpo chuubas have already been curated by someone to fit their company so if you know that company's general vibe then you can know what to expect from most of their talents

>most holofans literally don't know what they're missing out on because they treat yagoo as their personal filter.
Anon, I do know what I'm "missing out on" because I was an indie fan first before learning about Holo.

I started watching vtubers in 2021, and my first chuuba was Ironmouse. Through her, I discovered Melody and Silver, who became the main 3 chuubas I watched.
I was there when VShojo was first formed. I was there for every Lewdcast episode. I tuned into Mel's Chaturbate streams, and I was even there for their Arcadum DnD campaigns.

But, as time went on, I soured on them because:
1. Constant drama.
2. React content sucks.
3. The dick jokes got old.
And, worst of all
4. My oshi at the time, Ironmouse, became an accessory to her own channel.

So, I started looking for other chuubas to watch and I heard of 2 people. Gura and Mori. And, I started watching them, liked their vibe, and I've been a holofan ever since.

So, no, not every holofan is some mindless drone that just likes the blue dorito because they're told to.

I genuinely just think Hololive pumps out better content than anyone else in the vtubing scene (that I personally know of).

Yes. I never cared about idol shit, but had no real idea on where to look outside corpos. Randon and Lando being the spiritual successors to SBFP made me realize that’s what I always wanted out of vtubing; the kinds of content I already watch but anime. If anything, I’m annoyed at corpos for holding back the potential of the medium with their retarded limitations and type cast roles.

My first oshi was an indie who rebranded and retired, later I started watcing Bungo taiga, luna the magikarp and ironmouse, I got bored of them after a while. Bungo taiga became a lewdtuber because it was the trend (thanks group now known as Vshojo) and Luna would just spam RLcraft while her announcement bot went ''karp karp magi magi karp karp'' simulating the can can dance. You know how i found Hololive? because all of those indies were sucking their dick at the time, specially ironmouse and taiga, the latter talked about an hour about the ''new hololive girls'' who were EN at the time. I checked them out and they seemed cool enough.
The indie scene then started to deteriorate way too fucking fast while Hololive just stood on their lane, no politics, no alphabet pandering, no ''muh based opinions'', just a bunch of girls being cute and retarded together.
You know why you indiefags are worse than even Nijiniggers? you think we were born int he walled garden that is Hololive but we went there after experiencing the shit that your chuubas are.
>But my indie oshi plays emulators, does reaction, do coding streams
Who gives a shit, I enjoy my oshi's game selection I couldn't care less if yours just happen to be so under the radar she's able to stream cheese pizza, I've surfed recently throught indies again and nothing fucking changed, it's the same shit i've seen again and again and soon enough they get into some fucking bullshit that could've been avoided by just streaming.

>Constantly bringing politics up
>Jealousy
>Twitterfags
>Too much whoring
>Literal Con cumdumpsters

>Too afraid of being "cancelled"

>> No.57777499

I just watch vtubers man. The only difference really is how unhealthy they can be about their streaming and how honest they can be about what comes out of their mouth. In the end, it doesn't make much difference to what you're presented with unless you want to have a "relationship" with the streamer or value some idea of culture or honesty.
After three years I have not nor ever plan on taking part in a vtuber's "community". Whether it's being a regular name in their chat or interacting with the rest of their fans, I have done very little of it. I hate streamer fanbases, and have since before I started watching vtubers. I like having my messages read, but I rarely have anything to say any way. For me there is very little difference between indies and corpos. Though, with a corpo turned indie there could be the loss of most of their collab partners, which is quite a shame.

Because that's what hobbyists do, we're just more dedicated to this than you are so we don't mind putting in the time to find these hidden gems even if we have to wade through the garbage.

I'm not gonna be sliding into her DMs any time soon, but I fucking love her far, far more than I ever loved any holomem.
You know you have no chance with her and yet you want attention and acknowledgement? That sounds like the unhealthy way to be parasocial, really.
Either you accept being just another face in the crowd or you go full groom on 0-2views. Everything else is wasting time on an illusion.

the point is that there are top-tier chuubas perfectly suited for your personal taste out there IF you are willing to put in the work to find them. if you're too lazy and are content with whatever yagoo gives you, that's fine. nobody's trying to say it's bad to enjoy the holos or that they can't be the best fit for you as a viewer. just saying that, as someone who did put in the work, I can tell you that I think it was extremely worthwhile for me personally to do my own searching. the people who put in the work will earn their reward. if you're actually looking for someone suited to your tastes, it's easy enough to ask for suggestions which may or may not pan out. but you do actually have to do the work.

Anon, if there are top-tier chuubas, they are unironically on the 3view range AT LEAST, unless they're just starting. One of my favorite indies made it to 3view and partner in less than half a year, and another half a year later she's a stable mid-3view, and her content is as nice as it gets, without doing reacts.

>>57779294
>hobbyists go beyond the surface level of the medium
Which is analysis about how trends and good chuubas end up. That's why I mentioned corpos and 3-4views. Because so-called "good chuubas" shine given time, and if not grabbed by a corpo, they quickly make to partner or 3view at least.
And either way, discussing about how you should enjoy your hobby is retarded intellectualoid faggotry.

Just watch partners/3views if corpos aren't your thing, anon. Anyone who made it to that level managed to grow out of the crab bucket that is 2viewness on their own merits. It's their own talent which allowed for their success. Or if you want to be even more stringent, 4views are also a thing.

There's pros and cons to both corpo and indie. In corpo there's an expected level of quality and consistency that's expected. Indie can be very hit or miss on quality of the stream/mic/personality. But on the con side corpo doesn't have the freedom to play games they want at any time where an indie can just stream it no problem. Corpo there's also a smaller "personal" feel in chat since there's typically thousands of people in them.

I don't need to be acknowledged by a chuuba as an individual, I'm happy enough to be appreciated as part of a greater fanbase. To me, chuubas are like anime characters who stream so I can enjoy them with a virtual barrier between us. I also appreciate it when they add in lore so I can be invested in their character outside of their streams and have upcoming projects to look forward to, which is a huge strength Hololive offers. Frankly, I don't care enough about some average e-girl to want her to act like my pseudo girlfriend. I don't mind seeking out indies but they have to have some kind of talent (like art) to keep me invested.

I watch both corporate vtubers and indie vtubers.
The very large majority of indie vtubers are trash which is why they're only indies. Indies that become corporate that still try to act like indies are the worst because they ALWAYS become overwhelmed sooner rather than later and do something stupid.
Corporate vtubers that take to heart the corp's philosophy usually end up reaching a standard, making them a lot more "digestible" for people. However, the restrictions placed on them also make it more difficult for them to become anything more than "good".

The thing is that with corpos you have at least some accountability. With Hololive I know what I'm getting. With indies there's no telling what they might suddenly decide to do.
For example, an indie can decide to just disappear forever at the drop of a hat. Yes, that can also happen in corpos as we've seen with Vesper, but the chances are much slimmer, especially compared to 2views and lower.

At the end of the day, I'm sure there are wonderful indies out there that I would like. But time commitment is also a genuine concern. If it was a guaranteed "you'll find your oshi in 2 months of hard work", then that would be fine, but it's not. I may find someone I THINK I like, only for them to turn out to do something I don't enjoy. A waste of effort.

Another thing about certain corpos (and part of the reason Hololive are so popular IMO) is that they're the ones who tend to do CGDCT content. Not only do some of them segregate based on gender, they also have a pool of other similarly-focused chuubas. Meanwhile with indies there's no expectation surrounding that, and even if you find someone who sticks to it they'll have trouble finding others to collab with who stick to the same principles.

In short, it's just a lot of work to find exactly what I'm looking for, when Hololive is right there.

>> No.57816473

Indie and small corpo niggers are actually the exact type of pathetic loser that people who don't watch vtubers think all vtuber fans are. My favorite vtuber is Marine from Hololive and trying to imagine her as an indie is just sad. She's still have her quick wit and unique personality but she wouldn't have the resources to express her creativity and passion through things like her top tier 3d lives, her varied and exciting original music projects, all the random impromptu shit like the second world seiyuu audition, etc. Imagining Marine as a random low 3view daily grinder streaming random gameplay and karaokes everyday while the same 100 weirdos try to groom her in chat would just be a miserable experience, the type of person who would somehow prefer that over the Hololive experience doesn't actually enjoy any of the interesting aspects of vtubing, they just want to feel like they belong to some mentally ill pico-eceleb barely disguised cam whore's inner circle because they're one of 20 people who regularly watch her streams and she remembers their name.

I can definitely see your point. I definitely think there's a sort of imagined virtue thing going on with indies, like they "ought to be more enjoyable because they're truer to themselves" kind of thing.
A sad fact of life is that sometimes you need money, resources and guidelines to bring out the best in someone or something. It's not fair, which is why I think many people reject this notion.

Also whenever I see a hololive clip in my timeline, it's usually gonna be something funny or interesting, but when it's Ironmouse it's some react bullshit, when it's other VShojos, Bao or Shylily, it's horny or lewd shit, KSon is just irl shit now. Henya's fun occasionally but it's usually collab clips with people I don't really like, so I don't watch.

Clips of Tenma and Neuro are hilarious (Neuro's singing is nice as well), but their livestreams have way too much of a gap between interesting moments, which is the biggest issue I've had when it comes to watching indie/small corpo streams.

> watch my indie/2view
Shill me with a decent interesting clip and I might check her out. Majority of these indie seethe threads never have any sort of interesting clips or moments they can show to a potential audience (which is how Hololive grew initially).
I don't know why, but every single thread is like this. So much seethe, so little shilling.

Yes.
Clips.
5-10 minute snippets of a stream that capture the "essence" of a chuuba enough to get new audiences interested in them.
The thing that made hololive popular in the first place.
And the thing that's still helping to keep Hololive in the minds of casuals and potential viewers.
The thing that several holo polls showed was the introduction of at least 40% of the existing audience to Hololive.
Those things.

It's the easiest way to spread the word if you're an indie with some specialty, and yet across the 100+ indie seethe threads I've seen on this board, not a single one had a clip to shill about this supposed mythically talented 2view of theirs.
