I'm pretty sure there are more popular male streamers than female streamers, but it's the opposite when it comes to vtubers and I'm wondoring, why? Not that I'm complaining, I really enjoy vtubers!

It all depends on what you're seeking from each of them. From streamers it is mainly on what they are streaming which is usually gaming or reactions (I don't go to twitch so I might be wrong on what is the most popular on twitch etc.) while from female it is usually a cute face and breast&booty. While from vtubers it is usually their characters + anime related stuff + reaction/gaming, which I judge usually by what are popular clips (goofy/not seiso/timing/arara/other noises/hi honey etc.)

Or at least that's how I would explain that, as I don't follow any streamers nor watch them live, as I usually come by some clips on youtube occasionally.

I have no idea why this is the case. Maybe we should stop all research and put all our money into finding out why this is the case.

This is honestly more important than anything else that is happening.

If I want to watch a guy play a game I will just watch a regular lets player without the virtual avatar, since I don't care about their appearance. The addition of an anime avatar is a positive for a female streamer but a negative for a male streamer. This also goes for facecams and such.

Male vtubers only really make sense for the fujoshi market that gets excited over anime guys.

There's an inherent appeal to anime girl character designs, if the past 20+ years of Moe marketing have anything to say. It's not the same with male characters. Anime dudes screaming at video games doesn't exactly have the same appeal as a girls with cute anime avatars do. The market for dude streamers has been established already for a while.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

I havent even run across many males ones. When I have they were a different niche mainly focusing on just talking about topics like art and were gif vtubers not avatar rig vtubers.

Also some of the female ones are males using a voice changer I think.

I think it may be females are less likely to want to reveal their identity on video platforms which is why there is more of them.

well would you rather listen to a woman's voice or a man's for multiple hours on end

gotta also keep in mind a lot of popular vtubers are signed by companies, and companies know that marketing a female makes way more money than marketing men. especially since vtubers mainly attract the otaku demographic

Men (the primary audience of all streamers) only have the ability to feel two emotions, lust and wrath. Female vtubers exploit the former thus easily gaining a large following.

Probably has something to do with live2D animated badonkers, many of the more popular Vtubers are on the fanservicey side. I only really follow vtubers for the music.

I don't personally watch female streamers as most female streamers either stream exclusively with other people or they stream as titty streamers which isn't my thing.
Vtubers are essentially actors, they play a role and character to a more immersive degree than most female streamers do. There are exceptions, one female streamer I enjoy is Lucahjin but that's tied to the games she plays which are visual novels and puzzle games.

Vtubers represent a fraction of more skilled streamers which are able to project a character and personality onto an avatar that wouldn't nescessarily mesh with real life. My favourite Vtubers are the Vshojo group and the personalities there are quite unique and refreshing, plus I find them hilarious. They fill a niche in streaming that calls for more interesting female personalities other than 'titty streamer' or 'gamer girl'.
For me, I don't watch male Vtubers as they're very clearly marketed towards women in the same way most female Vtubers are marketed towards men. Male Vtubers are super handsome, have UwU softboy velvety voices, and typically act in a gay-ish fashion with other male Vtubers as fujo bait, which is, well, it's not my thing really.

More males in society are far less social irl since they do not get as much approval from others. This is why males form more parasocial relationships online. This is also why most hardcore Otaku are almost all males.

Because men are more likely to watch vtubers than women.

Signatures are too distracting

Simps. That's all you really need to know.

I want to watch Vtubers, but a lot of their videos are two long for me, like over an hour. If their videos were more digestible (like say around 20 minutes at most, I'd watch them more frequently.

They bot their views, end of the stories.

For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
