I always urge people to find their own purpose, to find community that's not just online. And most of all, you only have yourself, and you need to invest in yourself, above all.
If you find this post, please note I am just an entertainer. My streams are just another show. My art expression. I cannot respond to your comments about friendship. You literally do not know me, even if you watch every single content thing I make.
like it boggles me how much people got affected by the Sinder drama, and I can see why after researching parasocial articles that people got so offended, because people can't help to think of some of these streamers as "friends". It feels wrong.
"but they need to eat" yes, so do all of us. But all of us don't go out there and make perceived "friendship" a job. We get a real job. It is weird to see even smaller vtubers try to commercialize their community-base, even if they "give back" to their community.
but it's pretty common in the vtuber sphere. Suddenly all their panels are links to merch, video game sponsors. etc. Almost half of their streams are hashtag-ad/sponsored.
If someone, even if they have a nice personality, is pushing subathons, donations, merch, etc. They're taking advantage of YOUR kindness, YOUR empathy, in order to monetize/make streaming a job. I know not every streamer does this- (cont.)

then i still end up spending 3+ hrs making vids today lol
maybe I'll stop all this at some point
It's really a miracle my YT shorts haven't been muted in a few weeks.
How are people paying for edited clips? Because the conversion rate is very low regardless. Even if you get a few thousand views, the sub rate is still low. So ridiculous.
YT isn't clear with what gets muted, what doesn't. TT/IG have their own formulas, so if you make short form, most likely it won't resonate with all 3.
Just really burnt out with making shorts/video content.
If it's over 20sec, people don't stick.
If it's over a min, it better be super engaging.
Not to say, it's wrong, but it's advice that is somewhat misguided. This is why I still mostly clip from streams because this is what I want to promote. I rarely make original skits often, and even so 1x a week because that's not what I usually offer in the week.
If you get to 10k followers with shorts and your ccv remains unchanged, then what does that mean? Most vtubers want to grow per a streaming basis, not necessarily/primarily as a youtuber. I just see this advice "make shorts" but I'm starting to think this is just another "just do this" advice.
Because I often see vtubers who will make shorts, and it's often just talking in front of the camera about a topic - but it doesn't show what their stream is. The numbers are great but I wonder if that's 1 factor on why conversion is low.
I just really question, as someone else that's made daily shorts for almost 5 months now, is making shorts that do not reflect your stream content, worth it?
You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't
I feel that. 😔
same the bed too warm this time of year 😴
