An oldie and their thoughts on streamers

[sapphicfairyoracle]

I would watch more Vtubers if it wasn't for the fact that too many have avatars of loli-looking anime girls and talk like little kids. (I feel like many people try to sound like Ironmouse. I will give Ironmouse the benefit of the doubt and assume her voice is real, but I still find it grating to hear for hours on a stream, personally. Now others want to sound like her.) Their fanbase tend to be lolicon or shotacon creeps (liking the fictional youngins, if I have to explain what those terms mean...). There's also that. Not interested in these characters in suggestive situations even if they're adults. It's THE "SHE'S 5000 years old but looks like a 12 year old." vibes that I don't like.

Or the avatars are big boobied anime girls that try to sound deep and be "mommy" vibes. (I block the moment they do that "Ara ara~") So I rarely watch Vtubers and hope people recommend me some normal vtubers who don't make sexual jokes every minute or don't screech for hours.

Well. I can't complain too much as I put on Caseoh and GHCoffee streams. But even those I watch only for a little while because they both holler quite a bit. And coffee spamming his soundboard can be over stimulating at times.

But. It also could be because I'm old and not the audience they are looking for. I just might have to hunt around twitch and youtube more for streamers or V(or PNG)tubers that are more chill when I get the free time. Wish me luck on this search.

Somewhat OT but I really like your pony mood indicators

I don't watch the same things as most people seem to on YouTube. I'm usually looking for crafts, building things in the woods, speculative evolution, paleontology, or nature restoration. But I did spot one person (I think in a writing-related video) whose avatar was a robot. I certainly sympathize with why someone might prefer to avoid putting their face and voice online nowadays. I wouldn't care to watch chibi avatars, but I don't see much of those in my areas of interest.

I've seen a couple of videos with quite good fake animation. But I'm aggravated that YouTube has gone to using AI-slop covers for most videos, which makes it difficult if not impossible to decide what's worth watching. A fake cover tells me nothing about whether a garden or cabin is sensibly built or stupid. :/ I'm also finding more and more errors in video illustrations, even from formerly reliable sources. Because if I can spot a pterodactyl with bat wings, what else is wrong that I haven't spotted? *sigh*

There are plenty of chill video channels. If you're into crafts, you can watch someone spin yarn for 20+ minutes. Same with cabin builds, but a lot of them run longer. I avoid the fast-forward versions as they are not relaxing. Some terrarium builds are a cool mix of crafts and nature. There are a bunch of folks posting about their wildlife world on homesteads or yards with soothing nature footage of birds and flowers. There's a whole branch of Slow TV for things like bike or train rides; not my thing but it's quite popular. I'd say it's worth hunting around.
