I don't know, 3D girls have done much sluttier things on livestreams without being called out.
I'm trying to find a girls livestream with a facecam that covered 2/3 of the screen while she showed off lots of her cleavage but I can't remember the name.

It does seem unfortunate that the most boring one is also the most successful one, but maybe it's a blessing for Kizuna to aggro all the attention leaving the other ones relatively comfy.

True,but it's hard to believe that she started only 1 month ago and already has more than 1 million views on one of her videos.

16 kills and finishing first in an 88 player match seems to indicate real skill.
There are some good theories about her - since there are only a handful of female Japanese players at this skill level, she is either one of those or a voice actress dubbed onto another player's footage. The editing in particular doesn't inspire confidence, but the doubts about her only add to her mystique.
On the other hand, Ai is convincingly bad at these games, and Shiro is quite good but in a very natural way and is largely unedited, so those two are in the clear.
Luna is already pretty much busted due to her unique voice, although the other Twitter account she is tied to has no real identity exposed either.

I checked out the old man fox loli virtual youtuber the other day and that made me realize just how professional all the other virtual youtubers are compared to a single guy trying to fuck around with some unity models. That really made me wonder just which companys are behind each of them, trying to jump on that new popularity train.
I can't read japanese well enough to check out that link, but you bring up a valid point about Hinata. To me she seemed pretty genuine, but I guess seeming genuine is the entire point of an actor.

What exactly do you find dumb and annoying about it? That it's popular? That cute girls are being used to manipulate otakus and make easy money? That it's all just one big fake basicly?
These are the arguments I can think of, and they all also apply to anime.. I think it's fine to enjoy dumb things sometimes.

All the problems are the same as with flesh and blood YouTubers, except 2D is incomparably cuter and the horrific personality issues of attention whore 3D females hoarding thirsty beta admirers cease to apply. Seems a superior product.
Doubt western females of sufficient sweetness can be found in enough numbers to match the Japanese vTubers though, so whilst I think this will take over from 3D I have doubts about it doing so overseas.

CS:GO girl in the first video is identified as possibly being Hinata (who says she plays CS:GO at the same level), but denies it. But a secret vTuber would deny it, wouldn't she?
There are even videos dedicated to the topic of who she is popping up so it seems to be a great marketing tactic!

Low budget and low effort?
Definetly not. It takes alot of work to make these things look smooth and in sync, and I doubt some random japanese girl has this kind of production value and skills at her disposal. This is definetly a high budget professional production

can we not carry this same argument that we had on 4jp to here? its even worse here because there are boards for literally everything traditionally ``/jp/'', theres a visual novel board, a touhou board, a neet/hikki board, a tea board, a mahjong board, a 2d/shitposting board
/jp/ is about taking it easy and posting whatever with a veneer of weeb shite, the actual topic doesn't matter, i don't like yuchubas either so i just occasionally drop in this thread to post something stupid with a sage but it probably belongs here.
