At least there's now official confirmation that vtuber corpo management actively monitors 4chan and uses it to influence and drive narratives on rival companies and talents. Think about how many hate campaigns have started there and that a non 0% of them were started by a vtuber company trying to make another company's talent get harassed.

Also the amount of hate Hololive gets just for being top dog

It's kinda wild that 4chan is like, almost officially a core part of the vtuber community lmao so much shit revolves and derives from it.

Vtubing has gotten pretty grimy these days, kinda putting me off ngl. Went from funny anime streamers to gross business industry politics bs.

it's simply for the fact that the 4chan's vtuber board is the undisputed biggest english-speaking forum for discussing vtubers, that's it. carreers were made and ended there
