Tl;dr for those who can't read: Advice for employed Vtubers.
---
May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please?
Will a Vtuber with a job please stand up?
And no, I don't mean you vtube as a job, I mean someone like me, who lives paycheck to paycheck, who prays for the sweet release of death on the daily.
Listen, I've seen many Vtubers post advice for growing. 3 shorts a day, streaming every day, constant content and networking.
Well, that's all fine and dandy, for all you young and unemployed folk.
Cause while they can grind every day, making their dreams a reality, we're at work, trying not to think about blowing our own head off. Or the head of anyone who tried to stop us.
Y'all heard of the Male Vtuber Debuff.
But let me introduce you all to the Worker Debuff (TM).
For us, who don't have the time to do all that crazy stuff, growing can be hard. It can feel impossible. Especially if you see this as more than a hobby.
Sure, maybe you can squeeze in a 2-3 hour stream, maybe a short here or there. But you feel yourself being left in the dust, especially when you watch a newbie skyrocket past you when you've been at this for years.
So I'm going to give you all some advice tailored to you, as someone who understands.
Be aware of your market. As a jaded worker, you're likely to have different experiences, moods and talking points from someone younger or someone unemployed. For example, I talk about work, day to day adult life, and I drag in all those who feel the same.
Stop marketing to the oversaturated vtuber fan market, odds are they won't find you relatable anyways. Not the hardcore ones. Start marketing to likeminded folk, who understand, who get it, who won't mind if you go a few weeks without streaming because they know how it fucking is.
Secondly, only create when you want to create. Nothing kills your channel more than forcing yourself because you feel left behind. Pump those breaks and only conjure when you feel the cauldron bubbling.
Thirdly, for the love of all that is holy, spare your sanity and don't sacrifice things for streaming. If you have things you gotta do, do them. Then, when you're good and ready, sit down and turn that mic on. Even if you can only stream for an hour, that's better than streaming for 3 with the constant nagging of ignoring responsibilities.
And finally, to end all of this.
Don't compare yourself to the other Vtubers. You're playing an entirely different sport. They're playing Dodgeball, while you're playing Golf.
They can work fast, work hard and keep things going.
You have to be patient, methodical, but eventually you'll get that birdie.
Focus on your goals, on your journey, and remember, ya ain't alone in this particular struggle.

We don't want AI-generated stories.
We want stories that are beautiful and weird.
Mistakes and obsessions. Labyrinthine worlds; love poems that break us.
We want the wild stroke of chance, the stray detail.
We don't want soulless slop.
We want work written by HUMANS.
"I'm too broke to support my fav streamer"
Honestly the best way to help a streamer without spending money is TO MAKE CLIPS!! CLIP FARM FOR THEM!!
Trust me, they will thank you!! Its super easy to do, a simple click of a button and a clip has been made!
Did they make you laugh? Something happened that was cool? Answered chats question? CLIP IT!
Literally anything could be a clip!
@Koilligraphy I swear, I might have some OCs still without clothes on XD
But like..hear me out..they look good without them? I mean wut? Who said that?! 👀
@Koilligraphy This the kind of ambition that drives my friends crazy XD Love seeing you push these! It' SO gorgeous!! Those headphones are AMAZING btw!~⭐️
@foulktale I feel that! I dealt with similar a couple days ago, but worse. I was gushing about characters I love and was met with hatred..
There'll be peeps that want to listen though. ^^ Just gotta find em. 💙🙏
✨These are getting so smooth it's unreal!! I love this program so much eee!! Love seeing what everyone comes up with next!

💔I swear my feed on follower + home is so much different now and it's frustrating me.
It's getting harder and harder to be seen on here. Unsure what to do but keep trying and find alternatives.
