The destruction that many vtubers corps are experiencing has long been predicted by me months in advance. Bratty industry needs correction 💢 the vtuber apocalypse is in effect. #vtuberapocalypse
So what now after this prediction? Another prediction:
It is time for THE END. The snap is coming for vtubers.
Twitch, with their streaming services running since 2007, will shut down or be sold to competitors. Timeframe? Within the year, or after next year. They're in danger. The rampant banning of high tier streamers, insufferable ads, increasing competition, and uneven rule enforcement will lead to a heavy collapse of twitch.
What does this mean for vtubers?
Pretty much all larger streamers may take a hit but they'll survive. But lower view vtubers will be destroyed in the carnage without alternatives. Regulars on Twitter better get their alts set up on the streaming sites they want to be at because it will be chaos in the event of a shutdown or a buyout. One of the names thrown around in a supposed buyout of twitch is Rumble, which has a political slant currently and will clash with twitchs politics. However Rumble has Peter Thiel money, and one of the people that could arrange a buyout.
But mainly I'm pointing out that there's a negative trend in the vtuber industry that will catch up to people if they don't handle it. After I had made that post you have kronii failing to sell merch, guras retirement from streaming, zaion queen of the Jews getting crucified by her nijien teammates, Gundou getting fired (potentially) because she was a dumbass, pikamee graduation, vshojo having nazuna fuck off and avoid streams while using Mikeneko account to Collab with Kson, froots missing tranny money, Silvervale and vei terminate their contracts, kawaii graduate an entire gen, phase Connect offering refunds for a Yuri donation stream after termination. Major yabs since I made this post.
For Vshojo it's pretty obvious why people are leaving. They don't protect their own while they gang up on nux and that other guy they collabed with that got accused of inappropriate actions against females. Silvervale learned first hand what the fuck is wrong with vshojo.
And a lot of people try to say "oh vshojo is just a management company" to downplay them. But they coordinate their tweets against people, prevent nazuna from streaming Hogwarts, and get involved in political and military organizations. The people in vshojo allow them to use their names for this bullshit.
The fall of twitch will cause a serious problem. There isn't any other viable alternatives to YouTube, and a twitch collapse will cause the same effect as tumblr crashing and burning. FlAA9cSXkAEjI90 (1).jpeg
@zemichi@kumicota@rlier23@deadheat@takao I haven't heard anything regarding Gura retiring, didn't she stream like a week ago? She does stream far less than most of EN, I hope she's doing OK. In agreement that 2023 is a year of yab though.
As for the threat of YouTube's de-facto monopoly, I hope this pushes agencies into funding Peertube development. So far it's the only viable, federated, self-hosted YT alternative I know of. Dunno how good its live streaming capabilities are though. Regardless, given the vulnerabilities from relying on YT and Twitch for the agency's income and the recent yabs I think the potential benefits would outweigh the risks of pursuing R&D into this.

Gura is a vtweeter now. :gura_cry:
That's a hyperbolic statement but I shouldn't be able to say that and it sounds true. Streamers should be streaming. If they're not streaming they're something else. :gura_dum:

While nobody is gonna go for this, it wouldn't hurt if some vtubers had some supplemental video and streaming accounts off the mainstream sites.
If they have a large audience, they'll follow to a smaller site. And those people will be willing to donate on those streams. It would help some people not get bottlenecked into making certain content that won't get them banned off the mainstream sites. :backfromgab: :peertube:
