I often struggle with noticing "growth".
Every day I keep telling myself I'm "not doing enough", "not being good enough", "not being entertaining enough".
It absolutely drains my morale, in fear of just never being "good enough" of a Vtuber.
Seeing all of my other friends grow at rapid rates, making events, subathons, debuts makes me think I'm just not good enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited for them, and I'm happy they're getting the recognition they deserve, but deep inside I just wish I could be there with them, at the same level, making events, growing.
Then, by a complete accident, while I was editing, I needed to check something in one of my previous videos, and I saw I still had the "follower" counter on screen. It was still before the second milestone.
Looking at it now, it truly makes me realize how far I've come, both as a content creator, and Vtuber/PngTuber.
It made me realize that not all growth is equal.
Small and slow growth is still growth. It doesn't have to happen overnight for it to matter.
I think I needed that perspective.

Back when I was still unemployed, I didn't put too much thought or effort into my shorts / clips, as I didn't feel I was good enough or had good enough moments yet that would be worth clipping.
We've had plenty of funny moments, I just never saw the actual "worth" in those that happened.
Now that I've - unfortunately - gotten a job and my time has decreased significantly, all of a sudden I get a massive mental push to put way more effort and time into the shorts, clips and long form vids.
I can never win.
Vtubers, what do you consider to be better;
A slower, but consistent chat movement throughout the stream
OR
Zooming chat but with periods of silence / no chats
Each time there's a change on how quickly chat goes makes me second guess myself if I did better or worse
Streamers will have a prompt on their screen the size of the pacific, yellow tape AND a red circle and still be confused where they're supposed to go.
source: i'm streamers.
Vtubers, how do y'all come up with things to post?
How do you all always seem to have the banger post/short/clip chambered ready to go????
i'm here overthinking even tho I don't have a brain, struggling to figure out what would be worth to post and where 😭
> Tell yourself you're a Vtuber
> Use GenAI
Tell me you don't care about Artists that put the sweat, effort and time into creating all the models that your Trash AI is leeching off of without telling me you don't care about the artists.
Also, Gourdie, thanks big man for the absolute work in making a free blocklist, much appreciated!
@alistjpeg I think time management, as I reckon would be the case for many.
Trying to balance IRL responsibilities, private social (thankfully there's barely any for me LMAO), managing my socials, finding enough time to edit and still have enough time to stream.
Am I the only one who almost obsessively watches my follow count, and get really sad when it drops if even by one?
Like, I'm not going looking for who, cause I know sometimes you just fall out of favor with people, or it could be a bot, or sometimes someone who enjoyed your stuff just gets bored and goes somewhere else, but having been struggling to reach my milestone for almost half a year now, it feels like I'm going the wrong direction with how I stream when that happens

How do you pick your Moderators?
Do you go purely off of vibes, do you have an application system, or do you only "work" with friends?
While it's important to have them be a part of your community, is it important for them to be there long or just "doing well" ?
@LaviiBakeneko Very true! And it's probably for the better to be almost overly picky and choosy. Not only for the safety, but also since Moderators are also representative of the community you foster.
@sennafraid That's actually wonderful.
If it makes you any better - I struggled with same issue - Would be too afraid to kick someone despite them making me uncomfies.
I'm glad you have someone to help you out with that.
