Postmodern VTuber Dystopia | NotAimingForTheTruck

What's the difference between a regular YouTuber who uses avatars and a Virtual Youtuber? Those clips of cute anime girls live streaming aren't on your recommended for nothing. Virtual YouTubers (AKA VTubers) are one of the hottest trends on youtube and twitch right now, and their grip on the weeb/otaku market is tightening. In this video I talk about the inception of the concept and prominent figures in the industry (such as Kizuna AI and Hololive) and how this trend is borrowing the marketing practices from the veteran idol industry in Japan. Dive into the sad, postmodern human contact deficiency of the 21st century with me and let's get some answers.
