Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=N0_Gc1HsJVc

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

The funniest part is that the first VTuber pretended to be an AI.

Yeah, she tricked me at first and then after a video I realized how fluid the movements were and that the speech was too realistic. I thought how it worked was that someone played the game and then people programmed a Vocaloid voice to say all those things and animated her body.

Makes sense given how a single tweet out of place can turn an influencer into a toxic liability.

Not a single one even looks real. Video game characters at best.

They look like ads for Sims expansions.

The vtuber genre says hello

Do “real” influencers look real?

They don’t need to look real to be popular.
