i feel like it's a bit mean to have a page about trolling people (aka, purposefully annoying people) when all it's doing is making some random people online angry. i think your trolls aren't particularly natsty and actually are funny (if someone made fake alien jokes on a stream i'd start laughing and it would be great) but annoying 1 person online doesnt help undermine yts business at all. its just mean

"https://suboptimalism.neocities.org/writings/character" i kind of know what you mean, but it's a bit harsh to say "vtubers are to fake simulate dating an anime girl" as someone who is kind of a vtuber themself. it is LITERALLY just using an animated avatar of yourself and streaming. again, i think you're trying to just talk about hololive and nijisanji, but i still think it's a bit rude :(

yeah, the social dynamics of streaming are vastly different at scale and i was mainly talking about the biggest vtubers, though i think it is fair to generalize to them because that's where the vast majority of viewer-hours are spent.

i think the main problem is that the same word (streaming/vtubing) is used to refer to what might as well be two completely different means of social interaction, depending on the audience size

a stream with a very small audience is similar to hanging out on the couch with the fellas while one person plays a video game on the tv, a stream with a very large audience is more like attending a concert or sports game

you assume it's done just to anger people but the real fun is simply seeing how people deal with out of left field comments. it doesnt have to be done in a malicious way. i used to try and do it where it'd give the streamer something humorous/engaging to talk about, there's a lot of people out there otherwise streaming into the void.
