AI Summary

This video explores the widespread hatred towards VTubers (virtual YouTubers) in the CIS region, arguing that the negativity stems from misunderstanding, prejudice, and the format's deviation from traditional streaming norms. The speaker, a VTuber themselves, defends the community by highlighting the hard work, costs, and personal growth involved.

[00:02]
Hate stems from misunderstanding

People hate what they don't understand, labeling VTubers without trying to understand them.

[00:17]
VTubers are just streamers with avatars

VTubers are ordinary streamers; the only difference is an anime model instead of a webcam, which triggers many viewers.

[00:55]
Some negativity is justified

There are extreme cases of VTubers exploiting loneliness or creating cringe content, but this is not representative of the whole.

[01:21]
Diverse VTuber categories

VTubers include cozy streamers, roleplayers, artists, singers, and voice actors, similar to regular streamers but with anonymity.

[02:04]
Hate generalizes the entire format

Critics often judge all VTubers based on a few bad examples, ignoring the variety and effort involved.

[02:32]
Agency VTubers are controlled

Famous VTubers from agencies have strict contracts and managers, limiting their freedom—this is business.

[03:09]
Cultural differences in cuteness

In Asia, cuteness is a cultural norm, but in the CIS, it's not, leading to rejection of VTuber behavior.

[03:22]
High costs and personal investment

A VTuber model costs 50,000–100,000+ rubles, plus equipment, often paid from personal savings with no guarantee of success.

[04:03]
VTubing requires constant work

Growth demands editing, social media, clips, and ideas—all done by the VTuber alone, with low chances of viral success.

[04:42]
Small viewer numbers are common

Up to 20 viewers is typical; 200 is notable; 1,000 is a phenomenon. The speaker's max is ~20.

[05:10]
Accusations of easy money are false

VTubers toil for years in silence, hoping to be noticed, yet are accused of easy money and cringe.

[05:36]
Personal motivation: passion and nostalgia

The speaker started VTubing to fulfill a dream inspired by Hololive, wanting to create an avatar and entertain people.

[06:15]
Real reason for hate: non-conformity

VTubers are hated because they don't fit the usual picture and continue doing what they love, which annoys the internet.

VTubers face unwarranted hate due to prejudice and misunderstanding, but they persist out of passion and enjoyment, proving that the format is as legitimate as traditional streaming.

[00:02] n’t understand something, he hates it, doesn’t try to figure it out, doesn’t delve into it, but simply puts a label on it. And YouTubers in this segment were ideally suited for this. And it seems to happen automatically. Let's take it easy. Who are YouTubers? These are ordinary

[00:17] streamers. Absolutely. The same games, the same conversations, the same donations. The same person behind the microphone. The only difference is that instead of a webcam there is an anime model. All. But for some reason, it is this detail that causes an immediate trigger for many. They are the ones who

[00:29] are trying to screw them personally. Moreover, we have already become accustomed to avatars on YouTube. Those same [music] YouTubers on YouTube often hate anime girl YouTubers on audience. Guys, you understand that wild pigeons

[00:43] are more adequate employees than YouTubers. Dude, I'm serious, I'd rather via wild pigeons, I will work with YouTubers. I even understand where some of the negativity comes from. There's peak behavior, there are

[00:55] hypotrophied nerds, there are YouTubers who actually build content around virtual waifus and push loneliness on their audience. It is pointless to deny that it is necessary to create an attractive appearance and make a profit. How

[01:08] simple it all is. All, absolutely all YouTubers do this. And if you have such thoughts, it means that you either don’t know anything about this , or you’re going to the wrong streamers’ streams. It all depends on the person and his recommendations. For example, I mostly

[01:21] sit on cozy streams of cute girls who are simply playing, drawing, or chatting with the audience. You know, there are different categories of YouTubers. There are people who are slowly growing in the audience, trying not to get into arguments and resolve everything peacefully.

[01:34] those who play their role with their manner of speech, character, Vive and Lore. There are artists whose streams allow you to calmly draw and chat. There are singers and voice actors. Everything is like with regular streamers, but just with a 2D or 3D

[01:49] anonymity here, that is, people with a low level of communication skill have a small boost here. Personally, streaming helped me overcome my sociological nature a little people and even defended my diploma without any anxiety . Further on, the logic in the hate somehow

[02:04] conclusions not about specific people, but about the entire format as a whole. Although, to be honest, problems. Donations, strange message, emotional attachment. It's all there. It's just considered there, but it happens. And here, ugh, the format is crap. Don't forget,

[02:20] there are even YouTubers who create content, who make content and work on it. Yes, completely different. And here is an important point that almost no one takes into account. The most famous YouTubers who are most often

[02:32] referenced are usually the ones who come from agencies. They have contracts, they have managers, they have people who monitor their behavior, image, scandals, and presentation. You can't just do whatever you want there. The format is strictly controlled.

[02:44] Sometimes you can't even play all the games . And that's normal. This is business. Some, by the way, accuse Rovitubero of not playing their role. [ __ ], do you really want this? Let me just repeat what popular

[02:56] Japanese YouTubers from agencies do. Are you sure about this? For sgsh people this is simply wild. In Asia there is a cult of cuteness. Pikmi behavior there is considered sweet and not judgmental. If you've seen idols or anime featuring them, you can imagine what it's

[03:09] like. There is an analogue of EO in Korea. It's already part of their culture. We also have YouTubers in our own way. Many have lore. But again, I repeat, in Russia, as in the CIS countries, there is no [music] cult of Milota as such. And now

[03:22] we return to Ruvitun. In most of India we have one person without an agency, without a manager, without a budget. Nobody gave you money for the model. A normal vitup model costs from 50, or better yet, from 100,000 rubles. And this is not an investment from the

[03:36] company, but your personal money. Not including PC. The cheapest iPhone or webcam for tracking and a good microphone. Do you want a model? Go spend a month or two, sometimes more: straight to a factory or another normal job, or just do

[03:50] everything yourself, and then invest everything in the chance that someone will even notice you, while earning a living. After all, vuitobing is not a source of income, at least for the majority. Many YouTubers work in parallel. And, well, it's the same

[04:03] with regular streamers, don't you think? And the work doesn't end there, because if you want to grow, you need to edit videos, make cuts, develop social networks, post clips, and come up with ideas. And you do all this

[04:15] promotion. Nobody will come and say: "We'll promote you now." You either pull everything yourself or you don't grow. And the chances of your TikTok or video suddenly gaining a large audience are quite small. Let's admit it.

[04:28] Especially when you have no experience in this. Up to 20 spectators are common . 200 online, you're already more or less famous. 1,000 online. You are a ruvitubing phenomenon. It's real, if it's not a scam, of course. Anyone who watches

[04:42] regular streamers understands how small these numbers are. And yes, I'm small these numbers are. And yes, I'm here too. My maximum is about twenty. scratch. I had a YouTube audience of 35,000. So even Stars forй is

[04:58] not a guarantee at all. You could say it developed poorly. Maybe that's true , but I was working, and after work I still had to stream. Then pay rent, utilities, and cook food. That's when I became depressed and gave up on it for

[05:10] almost a year. And despite all this, YouTubers continue to be accused of easy money, divorce, and cringe. Although in fact, this is a niche where you toil for years in silence and hope that one day you will be noticed. And here I would like to say one

[05:23] important thing. Some people just enjoy streaming as themselves. Personally, I haven't streamed without an anime model at all, because in 2021 I saw cuts with gura, and everything took off. I wanted to make this

[05:36] dream come true, to create my own avatar, my own image, to reach the point where people draw fan art of me, where characters recognize me, where you simply entertain people. For me, that generation of Kholaiwa became so close and nostalgic that I want to

[05:48] close the gestalt of my dreams. However, smevitun is still not popular. All that remains is to create diverse content and develop it. And here's an honest question: is this condemnable? Streamers don't just stream for fun either. They also want an audience, they

[06:02] want to be watched, they want to do what they like. Why is it that when but when a person does this with an anime model, it suddenly becomes something shameful? And here , it seems to me, is the real reason for the hate. When something starts to grow and

[06:15] gain its own fan base, an influx of people is guaranteed. The more people there are, the more likely it is that certain shots will appear and ruin the whole thing. This is absolutely everywhere. So no. YouTubers are hated not because of bubis, not because of

[06:28] donations, and not because of anime, but because they don’t fit into the usual picture and still continue to do their own thing, because, damn, they like it. I like being an anime cat girl. Well, I like it. And what? And I am glad that he is

[06:41] slowly developing in topping. And for the Internet, as it turns out, this is the most the Internet, as it turns out, this is the most annoying scenario. y
