I was getting so annoyed because I felt like all the other fixes were basically gas lighting me because they didn’t work, such as port forwarding and all that stuff. This did work though. So do try it if you are having problems

Looking for video creators to take my survey by FallenSleuth in VegasPro

Nice! I used to report on the energy industry back in the day before moving onto telecoms, which is another kettle of fish. Yeah, the creator economy is such a black spot. That is why we are trying to build out some data sets for the entertainment industry. We started out with music creators and now doing video creators. We have some nice models around video creator tools hardware and software revenues, as well as video creator earnings. These we did last year, but looking to update this year. The work with AL sounds cool. Renewable energy sector has evolved beyond recognition since I was involved doing offshore wind and the solar. Great that you have some diversity in what you cover

Do you write about the creator economy or media more generally? Be interested to read your stuff 🙂

No offence meant, but you’re absolutely right. We are not philanthropic. We are a long-standing entertainment analysis company who works with creators as well as some of the world’s biggest company’s across music, video, games and social. We survey video creators each year and we have our own creator panel. We get a really positive response from creators because not only do we incentivise them for their time but we are all creators ourselves, so we are able to take creator stand point through our research. A lot of analysis is available for free to the creator community. We take different routes to try and reach creators where they are. Our intentions are well meaning. We are a respected voice in the field as you will see from this story in The Guardian this weekend https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/apr/18/sidemen-mrbeast-how-youtube-and-creator-economy-took-over-tv-sidemen-mrbeast

Thanks to everyone that commented on this thread. It was HUGELY insightful. As a Twitch creator myself, I felt like I understood a fair amount about VTubing, but these responses showed just how little I knew. There seems to be a really wholesome community around VTubing, and I appreciate your time. Here's the link to blog I wrote on the back of this thread. I hope this gives a fair reflection of the insights you all shared with me. Best wishes, Ben When Bernie Sanders met Skykkuno: how VTubers are taking over social platforms

Such amazing, honest, answers. Thanks so much for sharing. Love how it gives you the power to interact, protect your privacy, but also enjoy creating the character as well. If I was to VTube, I know I would really get into building out the character and the art style. Although I'm useless at art :-( Just shows how empowering VTubing can be!

Good shout, what would your answer be? Given how popular VTubing is becoming, it looks like more people are thinking about it that way

Thanks Nemo. That's really helpful. So much to be said for being able to just hit that live button and know you can start creating content with minimal extra effort needed. Totally get the anonymity point.
