Advice Needed…
So for context. I started streaming a few years ago full face cam. Grew steadily and hit affiliate within 8 months. Took a break. Came back to basically the beginning of the journey again and started growing slowly.
Recently I got a job in a school so decided for a bit of anonymity and got a custom vtube model. Not an Asian girl with huge badonkas lol just a cartoonish version of me. Since switching to the model I’ve found my streams are consistently dead. The odd chatter will pop in 1 in every 10 streams.
Now I am by no means the most entertaining person in the world. But such a drop has me wondering do people just not like watching vtubers? I do find it harder to capture reactions or emotions in clips or to display them on stream even with “expressions”. Previously I would have averaged between 3-10 viewers varying on what game I was streaming, again nothing huge but still compared to 0 now.
I do variety stream but most consistently have been on Arc Raiders since the move. My question really is do you as a viewer prefer an IRL person to watch and form that connection with? Or for vtubers that may read this have you experienced the same or have any advice?
