I wanted to try content creation since old pokemon smosh song but never had the courage and executive function to do it.
Kizuna ai went viral a second time and i thought, that's it, "an old man voice from a cute anime girl would play in the common trophy of people saying you don't know who lies behind" it was supposed to be a dirty old man, but over time lewd became cringe again, and I also didn't find the idea funny anymore.
I followed the creation of vt and later the aspiring threads from time to time, rarely posted encouraging people till I thought, "I gotta do it now or never"
I did fall in endless traps of brainrot and stuff, so i debuted last year despite me having everything ready 1 to 2 years further behind. (the model only one year but the things were conceptually there so I could have png'd)
>do you have a model/assets? how much do these cost you? / other expenses from vtubing
I drew everything myself, the rigging had minimal cost.
total around 1k between skebs and games.
>how to grow your channel (or if you haven't had a breakthrough, what have you been trying?)
I try to communicate with others, see if there's something we can achieve, and at the same time, I try to bridge people together, if the people around me do good I will do good too, and If I do good I can help others too.
I also try to learn from people doing better than me due to seniority or skills and see what I can learn.
Check data for reach times and content, i allow myself some slow streams from time to time to play things I want to too.
Try to be "a normal user" on social media but the adhd+tism makes it hard lol.
>how to make friends? >_< do you just reply to random people or join a random stream and start chatting in their chat hoping they notice?
This is hard. For me everyone is a friend by default.
It's a weird behavior, but I refuse to live thinking people want to hurt me all the time. It requires a bit of a tough skin.
I just straight up chat with people a bit, minding boundaries, consent, respect and distance. Remember those are important. People have their basket full, never expect they spend their day thinking about you, same way you don't for some. The brain can keep track of few peeps.
So my extra tip is don't get offended if things don't click or you don't get an answer, things need time to grow and this current climate of "fake people" has everyone in a defensive shell and rightfully so.
>how do you fit streams into your daily schedule (e.g. after work, in between uni classes, rest days, other hobbies)
I did get myself some part time this year but my corpoRAT job doesn't like that, will probably have to reduce streams effective october.
I do nothing else, most of my life is just trying to do better, learn things try to improve, I do refuse to improve my content game, but for some ass reason people like my chewing and sneezing on youtube:
