You're kinda toasted, m8. The point of a vtuber is the showmanship. A fleshtuber is just some random fucking person with a camera. A vtuber is a fantasy persona. People also want high quality characters on top of all of this. When people talk about a high quality vtuber, they'll note or say things that aren't realistic, because it's part of the "show".
>I'm Betty from Montana
is not something to be immersed in for entertainment value.
>I'm Zilyana, 5th of my lineage, half-succubus half-elf, last protector of my glade
Is more fantastic and interesting, if not silly at times.
Good showmanship is maintaining the illusion. Someone who maintains the illusion doesn't leave their avatar AFK in the corner of the screen like a broken puppet, nor do they say "I'm gonna go take a leak haha brb" or say "this is my boyfriend Joe from Montana". Those are all things that break the illusion of a fun and interesting character.
Anyone who can understand why character actors at Disneyland aren't allowed to take their masks off in front of visitors has the reasoning to comprehend why people want vtubers with good showmanship. If that's too immature of an example for some of you, consider that since the dawn of time, people make personas for strippers ("I'm inexperienced", "I'm working through college", etc) instead of standing on stage and saying "My family disowned me after my fent addiction sent me into a spiral of fucking strangers bareback twice a day for the last 200 days straight". There are, of course, a minority of people who prefer that latter persona, just like how some fleshtubers still exist.
Some people do become oddly romantically attached, but that's not the majority. The majority just want a good show. And if a good show didn't require a good character, then vtubers wouldn't have absolutely fucking exploded and destroyed fleshtubing. People can get extreme quality animated porn without the existence of vtubers, yet there is a reason people desire them.
