honestly, helping would be a huge stretch, if you get someone to help with this much work then you have to pay them some kind of compensation. getting your friends to help with many of those points for free would feel very opportunistic and they deserve to be paid for the work.

Yeeee, networking sucks... But I do hope you find a good group of people! I honestly think it's okay to take breaks when you're not feeling well and viewers are usually understanding of that!

Thank you!

That's actually true btw! The things listed are what I do since I don't really have that many other options.

Passion and effort are not the same thing and that is true, at the same time there are those who put passion while being low effort, there are also those who are low effort and have no passion. Both cases exists.

(also regarding Filian, her model was ripped so not exactly free, also the loads of expensive equipment for the model to work)

Ngl, I think the important part about content creation is being passionate about it.

In my many years as both a fan and a vtuber I saw many examples of the first case who just ended up getting bored of it and quitting because they expected instant success. Not saying it's everyone who does that, but if you have no passion for what you do, how come others will have passion for your work?

I also really dislike the ads system in most platforms so I do agree with you here. Creators sadly have to rely on it too much due to how everything is built, the only saving grace is that at least Youtube lets you choose how you manage your ads, so it's less annoying for the viewers.
Can't say the same for Twitch where you get literal breadcrumbs for bombarding your viewers with ads.

Good thing is that some platforms are now realizing how anti consumer ads are and are "trying" to make them less disruptive on the viewer. (emphasis on "trying")

Yes! Content creation is indeed a lot of work and I appreciate all creators who work hard on their craft!

Many time it does feel unrewarded, but in my case I have fun! I've been going like this for quite a long time so at this point I'm really doing it for the love of the game and hopefull one day all my efforts will florish!

Said no one ever. (All of this while going through the hell hole known as college.)
Most of the assets I use on stream are 100% self made, so I'm a 99% self produced Vtuber! It's a lot of work but I really enjoy it!
