Coco? Aside from that one week where YT was out to get her, her stuff's been turning up on my home, recommended, and sidebar normally, so I don't think there's any problem there.

Does she appear in your alerts, though? I can't change her notification bell thing to anything, and instead get a popup in the lower left corner that says:

I don't really use those notifications, but I can turn the bell on just fine: in my lower left corner, the popup says "You’ll get all notifications" and whatnot.

No idea if that's a particular setting on my or your account that's making it work differently, though.

Kind of a generous interpretation of "pre"-vtuber if she's touring under that name now. Though I guess she can't exactly tour as Calli (not easily at least). Looks like only a few shows within Japan though - wonder if it'd have been bigger without COVID

Prepare your bladder for imminent release!
When I try to Google more info about why Kiara is/was shadow banned from Youtube and narrow results down to the past few weeks, I get almost literally nothing. When I use another search engine I get results of people talking about it like I'd expect.

Is it possible YouTube's treatment of her is just automatically extended to Google search itself? It's really weird to me.

Kiara talked about what her and Jenma (Genma? ...her manager) discovered from their talks with Google on her re-re-debut stream and apparently Google algorithms established that her channel was hijacked (...somehow) and shadowbanned it to protect her and to minimize possible damage until the issue is resolved. As for the most popular theories for why it happened, Kiara herself pointed out that neither her move to European Australia nor Nene accidentally logging onto her account were the reason, because she was shadowbanned before either of those had happened, so they have no idea what triggered it. And no, they still don't know why all her streams for past two months are gone either.

I understand that it's cheaper to just have the algorithm take care of everything but I just don't get why youtube hasn't started doing things manually for the really valuable channels that keep running into problems. They have to be losing a good amount of revenue every time things like this happen. If it has to be the algorithm that does things for some asinine reason then why does it take so long to resolve problems? It should be trivial to see why an account has been banned or had videos removed and reverse it if the reasoning is obviously incorrect, especially for bigger streamers who have a more formal business relationship with the platform. It's just baffling.

This was the case the last time they played one of these titles. Marine was able to use one of the configurations to help tank the danmaku which let your get farther with more lives to complete the game. Korone never switched arrangements and in the end couldn't beat the last boss. It then prompted Korone to hop onto Marine's stream so Marine could teach her how she beat it. I feel like the previous Aniki game was much more Chou Aniki then this one especially with the men's beam.

I think it's Jenma, based on the original holiveen_manager account that spawned ENMA in the L4D2 collab. Meanwhile Callie's has gone from either J or Jay to D.J. Chad.

This recently happened to hardware unboxed, an Aussie hardware review channel, iirc. Same thing, same shadowbanning. They managed to get out of it but it took them a week.

Something she thought that might have caused it was her changing thumbnails for previous streams too often. Also anecdotal evidence, but seems like youtube really likes to gently caress with some of the members close to the 1 mil mark (Marine a while back and Coco recently).

The really valuable channels for YouTube are poo poo like The Tonight Show or Marvel's YouTube channel. Those are dealing with billions of views, not millions. They don't care about "small" 2 million sub channels anymore.

Guess I'd never thought of it that way. Still, I can't help but think it must be cheaper to get more humans involved to resolve issues quickly than to let a bunch of superchats and add revenue that would have been received disappear, even if it's a tiny in proportion to YouTube's overall revenue. Not to mention the more intangible losses from people feeling they can't trust the platform.

You are not one of us.
I would put HoloLive in the "modestly successful" bracket, actually. Multiple active channels with over 1 million subscribers and multiple videos a week with hundreds of thousands of views is not nothing, especially compared to the incomprehensible number of channels that are way, way smaller.

After all, they are important enough that they can actually talk to a person at YouTube and get an answer to (some of) their questions. That's literally impossible for the vast majority of content creators.

They still pale in comparison to the truly successful channels out there (or those backed by a large corporation forking out money directly to YouTube), yes, but don't underestimate just how far ahead even the smallest HoloLive VTuber is in comparison to how much there is on YouTube.

I saw a clipped video a few days ago, apparently from a drinking and chatting stream where somebody asked him why he doesn't do more collabs, and he pretty candidly talked about his difficulty reaching out to others combined with just generally not being approached for them often.

I do not recommend searching "pekora cryptid" hoping to find some sort of spooky monster rabbit. what you'll find is spooky, but not the fun kind.

gently caress astel's voice is good. he was singing at 160% speed earlier, and now he's hitting high notes I could never hope to achieve

basically I want this, but pekora instead
