@@raynightshade8317 but all of them are moth based. If she swapped models permanently with Bao all previous, current and future she'd lose her moth mojo. Same if she gave up the moth side
Is the whale side of Bao really as important to Bao’s appeal as the moth side is to Juniper, tho? Juniper REALLY leans into the moth RP and it’s a constant part of both her models and her appeal as a vtuber, whereas Bao… she’s just a lewd girl with a whale hat and a whale tail buttplug, honestly.
Man... Bao, and whoever edits these videos never fail to deliver top quality content. Bao is definitely top 5 vtubers in terms of producing solid youtube videos, probably top 2 actually.
For the question, I think could do either or. As a VTuber, I think my biggest hurdle would be my confidence, but I’ve got a deep voice that strangers occasionally compliment so I’m not insecure about my voice at all. I’d just have to get used to being a streamer and find my niche. As a manager, that could also be a fun job. If I have to pick one, I’d probably be a VTuber.
Ah yes. Two different flavors of unhinged interacting like this can only go well XD Also, I'd love to be a vtuber because I want to entertain people and tell stories, but I also hate how I look.
Genuinely enjoying entertaining people is a good start. If you're not too busy, why not try streaming once a week, just to see if you like it? There are highly-customisable cheap/free models out there. If you like it, you could aim to get just 2 or 3 regulars. Or you could aim to make just a few friends in the vtubing community. You don't need to be big to be successful, if you're doing something you enjoy.
@@Noodles.Doodles My biggest issue is that I tend to just be silent unless I have someone/something to bounce off of. So with a very small chat that might not be very active, I don't have much to interact with, and if I play with friends I won't be focused on my audience and they might go elsewhere because of a lack of interaction.
I think being a vtuber sounds more fun to me. Not only I could get more social with people either chatting or a potential vtuber that I also see as my oshi, but also get to practice my speech in another language and be less shy. I'm aware of some of the difficulties but I sure would give it a shot, for the better.
To quote Hitchcock - “It seems to me that vtubing is exactly like a gun. Your enjoyment of it is determined by which end of it you're on.” A lot of people like to be in front of the camera, I do not - I wanna be a manager
I would rather be a vtuber, being a manager means you have to deal with all the chaotic decisions the vtuber makes, the vtuber just makes them. Imagine being Bao’s manager and hearing: “I want to get a blueberry model” Manager: “like a fruit?” Bao: “…you know me, do you honestly believe it would be a fruit?” Manager: “it was more of a wish more than anything”
LMAO this is such a good combo, bao's chaos and junebug's comparative normalcy, so silly A: honestly I'd rather be a vtuber, that's ... what I'd be trying to do if I didn't live in the middle of nowhere with bad internet.
I'd be a Vtuber manager, no question. Get to hang out with not just your talent(s), but potentially anyone they collab with as well. No stalkers or haters on social media in the support role. You'd probably still have access to many of the same cons, parties, etc. Don't have to run the show, so less stress overall, just making sure things are in good order. Most importantly, no "content brain" is required, trying to make every conversation & almost all the personal moments in one's life somehow relevant to a discussion while streaming!
I’ve considered trying to become a vtuber in the past (still thinking about it honestly, I have a new concept I’d want to try) but I have such little trust in twitch and am generally a bit too… dumb. I couldn’t figure out OBS 😂😂 The vtuber manager intrigues me solely because I like helping people be successful and being a manager might allow me to do that. I don’t know enough of what managers do though to choose that, so I’ll play it safe and choose vtuber. In the past I’ve had several ideas for models. I had the idea of a wolfman with two skulls for a face (inspired by my skin in Project Winter) or a red skinned tiefling with royal robes (inspired by my old dnd character). Most recently I thought of a model that was similar to how I look irl, male with blond hair and a clean face, but able to switch to a female version of me with longer hair and more feminine features. My social media right now have this gimmick, and I’m loving it. Long answer, and lowkey pointless considering this was asked 3 weeks ago (or longer) but hey I like answering questions and I fear what Bao might do to me if she sees me in my semi combat gear when I go play in nerf wars competitively.
Hey BaoBao! To answer question, i would choose being a Vtuber mostly because I have the quirked-up, passionate vibe of doing syreams, playing games & perfecting a community. Also, *I'd fumble the ball everyday being a manager for 5+ other Vtubers,* so I'm good being one myself. 😂
Definitely would prefer to herd the cats than to deal with chat. Plus, when I’m responsible for other people I get pretty protective and take pride in seeing them able to find the space and resources they need to succeed. It would be really fulfilling to get a VTuber in touch with talented artists who who will draw inflation art for you. Anything for you, champ.
Being a Vtuber sounds painful as hell. As a Vtuber, you have to be consistently funny and interesting to watch (PS Bao, thanks for all the pain and a suffering you’ve endured so far) but I’ll stick with management
I’d pick being a Vtuber because I enjoy talking to people and being silly to make people smile. It looks like hard work but it seems rewarding in the end. Not too far off from what you do Bao.
"Live in another person's world as the Main Character" Hazily, your eyes open to the vibrant coloring on the ground which you lay. The texture looks as though it was crudely drawn in by stationary supplies. You look at your hands, which match the poor interpretation of the world around you. As you gather your bearings, a sign strikes your eye. "Welcome to CWCVille"
Vtuber manager, I find it more interesting working on the background of things and making sure everything runs smoothly than to be the entertainer myself. Plus I can once in a while just pop-up in chat to roast the vtuber and then go on my merry way (to meetings possibly)
Hi Bao and Juniper, I managed to watch some of this collab live when you did this, and it is still funny to this day like the sized one. 2:20-2:50 I would fight a Moth Kaji at a Dwarf Sperm While sized one a year. 4:35-5:00 I would pick the see but not touch Cryptic with taking photo and sell them to people for money. Hi Bao, I would rather be a Vtuber because I hate my looks and voice but like talking to people who are likeminded individuals, reaction memes with talking about my likes and hates about anime and manga seem a good fit for me. It seems like it would be a somewhat fun job to do and hang out with other people who are like you plus who inspired to become one.
To your question at the end there: Manager, as I definitely do not have the energy to be the one streaming for work. But I would be able to handle the insanity that some managers go through
Interesting question Bao! But as someone who’s already been a small content creator for more than three years now, I’d rather be a VTuber. I respect those managers for their insane work though.
I can see why the impulse to choose being a Vtuber & the fame that comes with it is so appealing, however...I'm a sensitive introvert & my life cannot cope with all the usual traits of being a Vtuber (interests at exploring a variety of games & activities, sitting at desk & streaming for hours straight...etc), or any other form of content creator/entertainer for that matter. Being a Vtuber's manager would be like you're the #1 fan & still gain a level of fame for being the backbone of that Vtuber. Maybe even as a bonus I'd get to meet other Vtubers by proxy; to also help alleviate my introvercy on the way. And I presume the workload & general pressure wouldn't be too hard on myself, so I'd choose the latter.
Vtuber or Manager: I would definitely go down the manager route. I'm not shy, but I feel no need for fame or followers. I'm content just doing good work for others. Also, I'm sure that even as a complete amateur, I will immediately be doing better than many of the managers working today. That's a low bar.
3:53 wouldn’t that hurt though Bao? 9:10 definitely I would rather Be vtuber collaborate with celebrities, be more creative than the other artists, but mostly just be creative with others and be strategize with me, in other games just in general, and loves celebrities who will have a great time.
I'd much rather be a vtuber manager, ain't no way I'm keeping a bunch of random strangers entertained for hours on end. I can't even carry a conversation with people I know.
Y'know... the tentacle tongue kinda makes sense. However, the problem arises with having to waste more time brushing it for how long it is as well as having to get a bigger brush and more toothpaste. ALTHOUGH, if you can make it transform at will for when you need it if your hands are full of groceries, it negates the previous issue. Yeah. Transforming tentie tongue. I DON'T WANT IT FOR REASONS OTHER THAT WHAT I'VE LISTED!
Hey there Bao! to the question if I would rather be a Vtuber or Vtuber Mannager, my answer is easy, Vtuber, since I'm already one and I'm enjoying the freedom to do whatever I want to do, is it tiresome to do everything on your own? sure! but you're your own boss at least. All the best wishes. 💙
Vtuber for sure. I get to be me and actually have fun with my community. While I'm sure there is a lot of planning, work and background stuff, that would also mean i get to do something that would be a job worth loving.
I would be a manager. I have completed business training. Furthermore, in my opinion it is always better to be the mastermind in the background who gets his hands dirty but never has to take direct responsibility. That's what charismatic leaders are supposed to do or however I should fit v-tuber into this metaphor.
Yet another time working out to Bao’s videos, will rate after watching Edit: good video, more tame than usual which i appreciated as I didn’t stop to gawk mid set, 8.5/10 going strong
... Bao, What the hell? "Be the main character in another persons world" essentialy includes every existing franchise of any genre! You essentially get a free isekai to replace Any MC of your choice! Especialy the crapy yet overpowered MCs you don't like. Why would you choose Anything else?
For the video question. I'd rather be a Vtuber Manager because I already have experience working in HR. Also because my low tone deep voice that always sounds like I'm disinterested, dead inside, or stoned out of my mind as well as my low casual energy doesn't make for fun/entertaining streams.
I think i would rather be a vtuber (although mostly i would suffer from all the technology stuff on the way) but i really enjoy connecting with other vtubers and doing silly stuff in streams, and also i enjoy kareoke streams ❤
Vtuber Manager, I grew up as one of the oldest kids in a LARGE family. I’m talking over 20 kids at family get togethers large. So as one of the few older kids who didn’t have a teen pregnancy scare or a drug problem, I was often tasked with looking after the kids while the parents would consume amounts of alcohol capable of landing an African elephant in the ER. The sheer number of ADHD, sugar fuelled gremlins and unspeakably horny preteens I had help wrangle and try and teach to act like they have any semblance of understanding of how normal humans act would probably be at least somewhat decent training for having to try and manage some unhinged Vtuber. And if it isn’t I always have the rampant alcoholism in my family to fall back on.
For your question, I'll answer it in the ClassicManD format, ahem... Well folks it's about that time and Bao the Whale wants to know, would I rather be a VTuber or VTuber manager? Now this is a really difficult question for me. Being a VTuber manager already sounds really difficult. Based on my understanding, you gotta be on top of your memory game, reminding everybody what needs to be done and when they need it done. You gotta remind thr VTuber what her schedules are, arrange meetings to discuss said schedules, go behind the scenes and make sure that nothing is going wrong since this is a live performance. Business deals and marketing is what you also have to deal with and this is just the surface of what my understanding takes me to. But being an actual VTuber is definitely harder. I can not imagine the pressure I have to constantly be under when I'm in the Spotlight. As TrickyWi said, even if I turn off the livestream, I can't turn off my job. I am constantly thinking about what I need to do next for the stream, I also have to think if this thing I'm gonna do is safe for the next stream. I'm also thinking about how this next thing is gonna affect my audience, will they be offended? Will they love it? Will they hate it? I also need to think constantly why people wanna watch it. Do they wanna watch it for me or do they wanna watch it for the content itself? And worrying about whether or not I'm rising or falling as a content creator is another thing I do not want to experience on the daily. I do not want to put out mediocre content for the sake of getting views and my salary. As a content creator I want to put out something that I feel proud of and it has a positive impact on my audience. I'd definitely say being a VTuber must be harder.
I kind of feel like I would rather be the vtuber than the manager. Honestly v tubing in general just kind of seems like something I would enjoy and I've kind of considered it for quite a while but currently with work I don't have a whole lot of time but if those are my choices just seems like a lot of fun interacting with the chat and doing stuff like this
To Answer your question about would I rather be a vtuber or a vtuber manager I think I would be better suited to be a manager because of the fact that I do not have the ability to entertain people but I have the ability to keep stuff on track, get stuff done, and I'm good at being personable in a business setting.
Vtuber. I get to realize my dream of becoming a character I always wanted. Change my models on a wimp, master my voices, making silly shows with my friends and hopefully collab with some of my favorite Vtubers.
For the most embarrassing vs most painful, I’d absolutely go most painful. My most painful was a kidney stone, and as soon as you get one, you’re nearly guaranteed to get a second one, so I’m probably going to need to repeat it anyway.
2:25 probably the whale sized moth, I’m not gonna fight whales every time I need to pee, so I’m gonna deal with the big dumb soft target with some legally purchased fire power.
i'd rather be a manager than a vtuber. not because i don't like to be a vtuber but because i like telling people what to do 😏 but yea srsly, i think it'd be nice to see the vtubers you manage, grow and be successful. imagine having your own proud 'parent' moment.
I'm already on my way to becoming a Vtuber. Why subject myself to this path that people consider Hell and have my Dad constantly try talking me out of it? I genuinely just wanna make people happy. Funny Internet content, voice acting, and music were my escape from a life that just kept on killing me more and more inside as the days passed. I want to give others that same sanctuary where they can forget about all of the negativity. Even if for a minute, I want to make people laugh, smile, and give them the strength to keep fighting. I don't care if I profit off of it. If I make people happy, then I have succeeded
There may be a special place in heaven for anyone that can put up with a vtuber's shenanigans on the daily, but I still know better than to choose the management option. o7 Put me in, chief, SLOBS don't scare me!
Vtuber or Vtuber manager? Well, that’s an easy one for me. Ever since I started playing in a streamed pathfinder game (and joining in some streams during my DM’s subathon for other games), I’ve been thinking off and on about becoming a streamer myself. Thing is, I’ve taught literal children internet safety, with the first rules being “no personal information”, so I’d feel like a hypocrite if I streamed in a way where some level of personal info can be gleamed from watching the stream. Ergo, Vtuber. The only bit of personal information I’d willingly give up to chat would be that I live in Michigan’s lower peninsula, because it would be tied to what my model would be. The upper and lower peninsula are connected by the Mackinaw bridge, and since we live under the bridge all of us lower peninsula Michiganders call ourselves trolls.
I'd rather be a Vtuber over a Vtuber manager, both would come with unique challenges and stresses but personally I think being the Vtuber would better since if I failed I would have no one to blame but myself and my mistakes while if I were a Vtuber manager who failed I'd have live with having to know I failed someone else which would hurt a lot worse personally.
Since I just started being a vtuber 4 months ago, I'd much rather be a vtuber than a vtuber manager because I feel like being a manager would really overwhelm me personally. Also being a vtuber has been so much fun and I'd love to inspire, make people's days better with my content, and traumatize them with how unhinged I can be
If the whale sized moth fight can be scheduled, i'll take it. Sometimes you just really gotta go, not risking that wrestling a bunch of buggers, and I don't like fighting winged insects anyways (except wasps, luckily I have never had to encounter one).
I think being a manager would be fun. You get to see what goes on behind the scenes, help someone climb a path to stardom, hopefully, and if you ever want to step out and become a vtuber you have connections already.
Considering I already have a half finished Live2d model on my hard drive, definitely going vtuber. I like the idea of creating content far more than the idea of managing someone else's work.
I would rather become a VTuber couse I strugled to find a place where i would want to be or what i would want to do until i found out that VTubers exist and im currently working on a VTuber model and doing everything i can to make this one dream become reality
Kind of tough to choose I want to be a vtuber and ultimately get back into music production, create a positive community and be bros with all the ones I watch... But I could also see being a manager, help them succeed while watching their kooky ass entertain.
About the question, could go either way, buuut I'll take manager, because not everyone has the amount of confidence and creativity to pull off living as a vtuber, and I feel it could be satisfying to help a (hopefully friendly) content creator get big in the world
9:12 that's a question personally, maybe vtuber manager but let's all be real I'd be the manager only dead/dying vtubers would go to because i wouldn't know what the heck I'm doing most of the time lol and why because wynaut would you rather question: would you rather be forced to eat everything you hate for an entire month or listen to your most hated song on stream for 3 weeks straight
For the question at the end. I would rather be a indie vtuber since I'm already a content creator. I value comedy and self-expression. Being able to express myself while entertaining others is a win win for both sides. Being a manager on the other hand feels like being a babysitter.
I don't think I comment that often on your videos. I watch and have a laugh. So the end of video "wyr", because I feel like sharing. I don't have time to be a manager due to having a few major projects to finish. And I don't plan on giving up any of them. Coincidentally, one of those projects does involve a new Vtuber channel that is still in the works, so that answers one question. As to why. Long story short, a friend wanted me to help with lore videos, editing, and various visual elements. After a few conversations about that, I made my decision. In the meantime, having fun learning how things work and shifting things with my old channel to get the hang of things for my new channel. So technically three channels I will be involved in the work of.. Won't be the first time for me.
1:02 I used to have 5 rubber tentacles that I would put on one of my hands, then I'd wiggle my fingers really fast. The tentacles would slap back and forth making a really fun noise.
Here’s one: Would you rather be a hobo in a midwestern blue state with a 5% chance of being inherited by a multimillionaire? Or be forced to fight your own worst fear?
Honestly speaking between being a Vtuber or a Vtuber Manger, I'd be a vtuber. Even though it might be a lot more work in the long run to get the ball rolling I just genuinely like the idea of being an entertainer and making people laugh. (Also I'm saving up to become an actual Vtuber in the future so my answer was kinda obvious....)
Hi Bao, Here's my answer, If I were to choose between Vtuber or a manager of one. I'd definitely be a Vtuber for funsies. I won't do it for profit and instead do it as a hobby/pass time or as a means to escape from reality to unwind from an exhausting day of work. As for content I might just do simple things like art, Practicing voice impressions or beatboxing, and maybe the occasional community game or meme reactions
5:11 so... you're saying I have an unlimited supply of body parts to donate/sell just for waking up and washing my face in the morning. And an infinite supply of younger backup parts with no risk of rejection i can preserve to jump back to youth when I get old...
"Live in your own world as an NPC or someone else's as a main character" Absolutely someone else's, my DND/Pathfinder homebrew setting is absolutely horrific. I'm not taking the chance of being born into a colossal slum, where if the gangs and starvation don't get me, the ineveitable rise of the sewer flesh beasts will.
I would want to be a VTube manager because I have an idea to start an entertainment company. Like, imagine how VTuber companies work. Something similar. Start small with 5 artists of various skills, hopefully multiple. Have them ALL come with a project bigger than they could do by themselves, and have ALL of them contribute to each other until all 5 projects are finished and released. Get bigger with more people. Genre doesn't matter, medium doesn't matter. It could be film, games, music videos, whatever. The musicians write the music, editors edit, etc. I am describing a passion project for artists to collab for a very big high-risk/high-reward. Start off small with 5 projects and see where it goes. If it doesn't take off, they still would probably have the same amount of outreach/fans/etc. that they normally would. If it takes off though, you could potentially see some pretty high-budget productions as opposed to some guy in a bedroom with a webcam talking about games for 12 hours. I have plenty of experience with conducting, band-directing, etc. But all of the projects involving other people, were given to me. Like, "Someone called out, can you take charge?" The people were already there. I have zero experience with putting stuff together, but once it is together, I can keep everything on track.
As someone who already streams, I'd rather just add a vtuber model to my setup than manage someone who does that. I'm not in the camp that I think I'd be a better vtuber; rather, I'm in the camp of knowing that my often wishy-washy behavior will drive someone to the brink of insanity, on some "hey, listen, I know I can't make or motivate you to do anything, that has to come from you, but I'll certainly support whatever it is you want to do in this moment, I got you" type of nonsense, which uh...isn't exactly conducive for any kind of managerial position, if you ask me.
I would be a Vtuber because I rather go indie and do it all myself because I'm a busy body and don't trust anybody to get things to exactly how I like it. And being a vtuber manager means I have to do things exactly how somebody likes it and it might be objectively be crap but I have to do it wrong as instructed and probably be blamed for not doing the bad idea well.
1:22 the question i have is how eat icecream with tent tongue 5:12 blue insta locked 7:16 so be god or be yourself 8:19 i havent realy goten hurt enough that i wouldn't chose it id be laughing my ass off
Fun fact! Its possible for your nips to fall off after a surgery, specifically top surgery. Its on the rarer side but it is a possibility, they just, scab up, and fall off..
I’d be a VTuber. HOWEVER, I’d have my avatar be an obese nerdy Engineer who rediscovers the primal hunting instincts of his Inupiat Eskimo heritage through visions of his ancestors. All my outfits would be variations on office wear and accurate fur hunting gear for that frigid Arctic Tundra. And I’d have an outfit that’s a member of a whaling crew. Subsistence Hunting FTW!!! I gotta eat ya know, nothing personal ;)
Vtuber (most probably indie) I will play as a morbidly depressed looking guy that’s like the biggest console game nerd. Streams would include video gaming streams, some( non confidential info about my life,activities,etc) and maybe some drawing/Sketch showing streams ( will always wear gloves to protect identity) PS: Will never show face on camera unless I have a mask and shades on
If I became a Vtuber Manager for a company the main pro is that I will be able to help and see who Vtubers look like irl behind the screen and even form work-based acquaintances with them but the con is the amount of talent, work and time required to make sure nothing goes wrong in their debut,stream, contacting vtuber modellers and outfit designers, music producers, vtuber software and updates to include more features, meetings with the company on discipline and loyalty and on how to better grommet the company,etc
I have zero experience talking to people and have no charisma, so I could never cut it as an entertainer. Management though, I’m not bad at. Never seen Juniper before, love the model (and person).
Sees thumbnail Definitely marry Bao Bao- Have my history browser We all know what you search, Elden Ring Wolfman pics and Sidon videos I would definitely be a Vtuber because I have fun ideas for videos 9:38 If I had a nickle for everytime the Yippee virus affected a Vtuber, I would have three nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's quite a coincidence.
Your tongue _is_ a tentacle. I think some people think a tentacle has to have suckers, but ironically the more pedantic biologists dont consider octopus arms tentacles precisely because they have suckers (Other Cephalopods like squid and cuttlefish _technically_ have just two tentacles, and a bunch of arms.) The only reason a tongue would be excluded is that its just not long enough, otherwise it pretty much fulfills the definition. (Which is more or less: Elongated, flexible, mobile, muscle without skeletal support. Typically to help with feeding and/or grabbing, often with sensory capability.)
I'd love to be a VTuber, I can play games and share all my experience about game knowledge with the people who watch and I also get to interact with people, especially with other people who share the same interests and possibly other VTubers
I would 100% be a vtuber. I already have a case of cannot shut up syndrome. But in terms of creative endeavors i think the ideas i have thay i would want to make fit into vtubing well, but most importantly ive been involved in multiple roles as a online community face for games, fandoms, and friend groups. Being abel to ahift thaybinto a streamer career doesnt sound off to what i basically will already do online now. Also i wouldnt even know where to begin as a manager, i can barely function some days by myself.
Juniper: "Sorry i don't wanna be crippled with a micro."
The Emotional damage is through the roof right about now.
not my problem bro, so will it be burger or kfc
"I'm trying to fuck nasty like the Oak Father intended!" is a WILD phrase and I love Bao for it.
Here's one for these two. Would you rather swap models permanently or give up your models animalistic side?
Juniper has so many models though
@@raynightshade8317 but all of them are moth based. If she swapped models permanently with Bao all previous, current and future she'd lose her moth mojo. Same if she gave up the moth side
Honestly this really only affects Juniper, Bao would probably still be an unhinged, dent headed blueberry with or without the whale side
@@dr.bright6272 She would make a Moth Whale then
Is the whale side of Bao really as important to Bao’s appeal as the moth side is to Juniper, tho? Juniper REALLY leans into the moth RP and it’s a constant part of both her models and her appeal as a vtuber, whereas Bao… she’s just a lewd girl with a whale hat and a whale tail buttplug, honestly.
Man... Bao, and whoever edits these videos never fail to deliver top quality content. Bao is definitely top 5 vtubers in terms of producing solid youtube videos, probably top 2 actually.
Kaizer_bread is Bao's editor, their link is in the description.
3:52 The sausage cutting visual did more than a small amount of psychic damage to me, thanks
I feel like every thing I could show a “normie” that Bao has done would be like rolling a 15 or up Con save with disadvantage
As a workaholic artist, Juniper probably has a lot of questionable stuff in her browser history "for reference".
Bao is the type of person to make the words: unhinged, and sus look angelic.
For the question, I think could do either or. As a VTuber, I think my biggest hurdle would be my confidence, but I’ve got a deep voice that strangers occasionally compliment so I’m not insecure about my voice at all. I’d just have to get used to being a streamer and find my niche. As a manager, that could also be a fun job. If I have to pick one, I’d probably be a VTuber.
Ah yes. Two different flavors of unhinged interacting like this can only go well XD
Also, I'd love to be a vtuber because I want to entertain people and tell stories, but I also hate how I look.
Same reason I'd be a Vtuber
Genuinely enjoying entertaining people is a good start. If you're not too busy, why not try streaming once a week, just to see if you like it? There are highly-customisable cheap/free models out there. If you like it, you could aim to get just 2 or 3 regulars. Or you could aim to make just a few friends in the vtubing community. You don't need to be big to be successful, if you're doing something you enjoy.

I would rather be a vtuber, being a manager means you have to deal with all the chaotic decisions the vtuber makes, the vtuber just makes them. Imagine being Bao’s manager and hearing: “I want to get a blueberry model”
Manager: “like a fruit?”
Bao: “…you know me, do you honestly believe it would be a fruit?”
Manager: “it was more of a wish more than anything”
LMAO this is such a good combo, bao's chaos and junebug's comparative normalcy, so silly
A: honestly I'd rather be a vtuber, that's ... what I'd be trying to do if I didn't live in the middle of nowhere with bad internet.
I'd be a Vtuber manager, no question. Get to hang out with not just your talent(s), but potentially anyone they collab with as well. No stalkers or haters on social media in the support role. You'd probably still have access to many of the same cons, parties, etc. Don't have to run the show, so less stress overall, just making sure things are in good order. Most importantly, no "content brain" is required, trying to make every conversation & almost all the personal moments in one's life somehow relevant to a discussion while streaming!
I’ve considered trying to become a vtuber in the past (still thinking about it honestly, I have a new concept I’d want to try) but I have such little trust in twitch and am generally a bit too… dumb. I couldn’t figure out OBS 😂😂
The vtuber manager intrigues me solely because I like helping people be successful and being a manager might allow me to do that. I don’t know enough of what managers do though to choose that, so I’ll play it safe and choose vtuber.
In the past I’ve had several ideas for models. I had the idea of a wolfman with two skulls for a face (inspired by my skin in Project Winter) or a red skinned tiefling with royal robes (inspired by my old dnd character).
Most recently I thought of a model that was similar to how I look irl, male with blond hair and a clean face, but able to switch to a female version of me with longer hair and more feminine features. My social media right now have this gimmick, and I’m loving it.
Long answer, and lowkey pointless considering this was asked 3 weeks ago (or longer) but hey I like answering questions and I fear what Bao might do to me if she sees me in my semi combat gear when I go play in nerf wars competitively.
Hey BaoBao! To answer question, i would choose being a Vtuber mostly because I have the quirked-up, passionate vibe of doing syreams, playing games & perfecting a community. Also, *I'd fumble the ball everyday being a manager for 5+ other Vtubers,* so I'm good being one myself. 😂
Definitely would prefer to herd the cats than to deal with chat. Plus, when I’m responsible for other people I get pretty protective and take pride in seeing them able to find the space and resources they need to succeed.
It would be really fulfilling to get a VTuber in touch with talented artists who
who will
draw inflation art for you.
Anything for you, champ.
Being a Vtuber sounds painful as hell. As a Vtuber, you have to be consistently funny and interesting to watch (PS Bao, thanks for all the pain and a suffering you’ve endured so far) but I’ll stick with management
Hey hey, no one said you needed to be a successful VTuber. you could be plain jane with a default model and avoid the pain of managing these people.
@@VME-Brad Yeah the real annoyance is the fact you do have to go through the motions. Maybe you should get a manager.
Do both. Become A-Chan.
Who wouldn't want to be a vtuber like bao because people actually like you
Vtuber manager easily, I got a personality that makes tap water exciting.
I’d pick being a Vtuber because I enjoy talking to people and being silly to make people smile. It looks like hard work but it seems rewarding in the end. Not too far off from what you do Bao.
"Live in another person's world as the Main Character"
Hazily, your eyes open to the vibrant coloring on the ground which you lay. The texture looks as though it was crudely drawn in by stationary supplies. You look at your hands, which match the poor interpretation of the world around you. As you gather your bearings, a sign strikes your eye. "Welcome to CWCVille"
But we're already in Dimension C1-129178.
Vtuber manager, I find it more interesting working on the background of things and making sure everything runs smoothly than to be the entertainer myself. Plus I can once in a while just pop-up in chat to roast the vtuber and then go on my merry way (to meetings possibly)
Hi Bao and Juniper, I managed to watch some of this collab live when you did this, and it is still funny to this day like the sized one. 2:20-2:50 I would fight a Moth Kaji at a Dwarf Sperm While sized one a year. 4:35-5:00 I would pick the see but not touch Cryptic with taking photo and sell them to people for money.
Hi Bao, I would rather be a Vtuber because I hate my looks and voice but like talking to people who are likeminded individuals, reaction memes with talking about my likes and hates about anime and manga seem a good fit for me. It seems like it would be a somewhat fun job to do and hang out with other people who are like you plus who inspired to become one.
To your question at the end there: Manager, as I definitely do not have the energy to be the one streaming for work. But I would be able to handle the insanity that some managers go through
id rather be a manager than a vtuber, because i dont have adhd and therefore lack an essential part thats required for streaming
Interesting question Bao! But as someone who’s already been a small content creator for more than three years now, I’d rather be a VTuber.
I respect those managers for their insane work though.
I can see why the impulse to choose being a Vtuber & the fame that comes with it is so appealing, however...I'm a sensitive introvert & my life cannot cope with all the usual traits of being a Vtuber (interests at exploring a variety of games & activities, sitting at desk & streaming for hours straight...etc), or any other form of content creator/entertainer for that matter.
Being a Vtuber's manager would be like you're the #1 fan & still gain a level of fame for being the backbone of that Vtuber. Maybe even as a bonus I'd get to meet other Vtubers by proxy; to also help alleviate my introvercy on the way. And I presume the workload & general pressure wouldn't be too hard on myself, so I'd choose the latter.
Vtuber or Manager: I would definitely go down the manager route. I'm not shy, but I feel no need for fame or followers. I'm content just doing good work for others. Also, I'm sure that even as a complete amateur, I will immediately be doing better than many of the managers working today. That's a low bar.
Vtuber manager, but only for certain companies/tubers. Whoever manages you is a different breed.
3:53 wouldn’t that hurt though Bao?
9:10 definitely I would rather Be vtuber collaborate with celebrities, be more creative than the other artists, but mostly just be creative with others and be strategize with me, in other games just in general, and loves celebrities who will have a great time.
I'd much rather be a vtuber manager, ain't no way I'm keeping a bunch of random strangers entertained for hours on end. I can't even carry a conversation with people I know.
Y'know... the tentacle tongue kinda makes sense. However, the problem arises with having to waste more time
brushing it for how long it is as well as having to get a bigger brush and more toothpaste.
ALTHOUGH, if you can make it transform at will for when you need it if your hands are full of groceries, it negates the previous issue.
Yeah. Transforming tentie tongue. I DON'T WANT IT FOR REASONS OTHER THAT WHAT I'VE LISTED!
Hey there Bao! to the question if I would rather be a Vtuber or Vtuber Mannager, my answer is easy, Vtuber, since I'm already one and I'm enjoying the freedom to do whatever I want to do, is it tiresome to do everything on your own? sure! but you're your own boss at least. All the best wishes. 💙
Vtuber for sure. I get to be me and actually have fun with my community. While I'm sure there is a lot of planning, work and background stuff, that would also mean i get to do something that would be a job worth loving.
7:55 physical one
What is a knife slipping to an eye ?
(Don' ask how. And luckly i ain't lost my eye)
I hate embarrassment
I would be a manager. I have completed business training. Furthermore, in my opinion it is always better to be the mastermind in the background who gets his hands dirty but never has to take direct responsibility. That's what charismatic leaders are supposed to do or however I should fit v-tuber into this metaphor.
Yet another time working out to Bao’s videos, will rate after watching
Edit: good video, more tame than usual which i appreciated as I didn’t stop to gawk mid set, 8.5/10 going strong
... Bao, What the hell?
"Be the main character in another persons world" essentialy includes every existing franchise of any genre!
You essentially get a free isekai to replace Any MC of your choice! Especialy the crapy yet overpowered MCs you don't like.
Why would you choose Anything else?
This pairing bao's voice and the goated artist moth juni omg too good. and jesus bao is too feral it's amazing.
For the video question.
I'd rather be a Vtuber Manager because I already have experience working in HR. Also because my low tone deep voice that always sounds like I'm disinterested, dead inside, or stoned out of my mind as well as my low casual energy doesn't make for fun/entertaining streams.
I think i would rather be a vtuber (although mostly i would suffer from all the technology stuff on the way) but i really enjoy connecting with other vtubers and doing silly stuff in streams, and also i enjoy kareoke streams ❤
Well, i'm already a V-tuber so...
ngl tho, the "nuh-uh-uh, where are you going?" was too well timed lmao
Vtuber Manager, I grew up as one of the oldest kids in a LARGE family. I’m talking over 20 kids at family get togethers large. So as one of the few older kids who didn’t have a teen pregnancy scare or a drug problem, I was often tasked with looking after the kids while the parents would consume amounts of alcohol capable of landing an African elephant in the ER. The sheer number of ADHD, sugar fuelled gremlins and unspeakably horny preteens I had help wrangle and try and teach to act like they have any semblance of understanding of how normal humans act would probably be at least somewhat decent training for having to try and manage some unhinged Vtuber. And if it isn’t I always have the rampant alcoholism in my family to fall back on.
For your question, I'll answer it in the ClassicManD format, ahem...
Well folks it's about that time and Bao the Whale wants to know, would I rather be a VTuber or VTuber manager?
Now this is a really difficult question for me.
Being a VTuber manager already sounds really difficult. Based on my understanding, you gotta be on top of your memory game, reminding everybody what needs to be done and when they need it done. You gotta remind thr VTuber what her schedules are, arrange meetings to discuss said schedules, go behind the scenes and make sure that nothing is going wrong since this is a live performance. Business deals and marketing is what you also have to deal with and this is just the surface of what my understanding takes me to.
But being an actual VTuber is definitely harder. I can not imagine the pressure I have to constantly be under when I'm in the Spotlight. As TrickyWi said, even if I turn off the livestream, I can't turn off my job. I am constantly thinking about what I need to do next for the stream, I also have to think if this thing I'm gonna do is safe for the next stream. I'm also thinking about how this next thing is gonna affect my audience, will they be offended? Will they love it? Will they hate it? I also need to think constantly why people wanna watch it. Do they wanna watch it for me or do they wanna watch it for the content itself? And worrying about whether or not I'm rising or falling as a content creator is another thing I do not want to experience on the daily. I do not want to put out mediocre content for the sake of getting views and my salary. As a content creator I want to put out something that I feel proud of and it has a positive impact on my audience.
I'd definitely say being a VTuber must be harder.
I kind of feel like I would rather be the vtuber than the manager. Honestly v tubing in general just kind of seems like something I would enjoy and I've kind of considered it for quite a while but currently with work I don't have a whole lot of time but if those are my choices just seems like a lot of fun interacting with the chat and doing stuff like this
To Answer your question about would I rather be a vtuber or a vtuber manager I think I would be better suited to be a manager because of the fact that I do not have the ability to entertain people but I have the ability to keep stuff on track, get stuff done, and I'm good at being personable in a business setting.
Vtuber. I get to realize my dream of becoming a character I always wanted. Change my models on a wimp, master my voices, making silly shows with my friends and hopefully collab with some of my favorite Vtubers.
For the most embarrassing vs most painful, I’d absolutely go most painful. My most painful was a kidney stone, and as soon as you get one, you’re nearly guaranteed to get a second one, so I’m probably going to need to repeat it anyway.
2:25 probably the whale sized moth, I’m not gonna fight whales every time I need to pee, so I’m gonna deal with the big dumb soft target with some legally purchased fire power.
i'd rather be a manager than a vtuber. not because i don't like to be a vtuber but because i like telling people what to do 😏 but yea srsly, i think it'd be nice to see the vtubers you manage, grow and be successful. imagine having your own proud 'parent' moment.
I'm already on my way to becoming a Vtuber. Why subject myself to this path that people consider Hell and have my Dad constantly try talking me out of it? I genuinely just wanna make people happy. Funny Internet content, voice acting, and music were my escape from a life that just kept on killing me more and more inside as the days passed. I want to give others that same sanctuary where they can forget about all of the negativity. Even if for a minute, I want to make people laugh, smile, and give them the strength to keep fighting. I don't care if I profit off of it. If I make people happy, then I have succeeded
There may be a special place in heaven for anyone that can put up with a vtuber's shenanigans on the daily, but I still know better than to choose the management option. o7 Put me in, chief, SLOBS don't scare me!
Vtuber or Vtuber manager?
Well, that’s an easy one for me. Ever since I started playing in a streamed pathfinder game (and joining in some streams during my DM’s subathon for other games), I’ve been thinking off and on about becoming a streamer myself.
Thing is, I’ve taught literal children internet safety, with the first rules being “no personal information”, so I’d feel like a hypocrite if I streamed in a way where some level of personal info can be gleamed from watching the stream. Ergo, Vtuber.
The only bit of personal information I’d willingly give up to chat would be that I live in Michigan’s lower peninsula, because it would be tied to what my model would be. The upper and lower peninsula are connected by the Mackinaw bridge, and since we live under the bridge all of us lower peninsula Michiganders call ourselves trolls.
I'd rather be a Vtuber over a Vtuber manager, both would come with unique challenges and stresses but personally I think being the Vtuber would better since if I failed I would have no one to blame but myself and my mistakes while if I were a Vtuber manager who failed I'd have live with having to know I failed someone else which would hurt a lot worse personally.
Since I just started being a vtuber 4 months ago, I'd much rather be a vtuber than a vtuber manager because I feel like being a manager would really overwhelm me personally. Also being a vtuber has been so much fun and I'd love to inspire, make people's days better with my content, and traumatize them with how unhinged I can be
If the whale sized moth fight can be scheduled, i'll take it.
Sometimes you just really gotta go, not risking that wrestling a bunch of buggers, and I don't like fighting winged insects anyways (except wasps, luckily I have never had to encounter one).
7:31 I've seen this clip allot lately, what anime is it?
I think being a manager would be fun. You get to see what goes on behind the scenes, help someone climb a path to stardom, hopefully, and if you ever want to step out and become a vtuber you have connections already.
manager definitely manager, i have seen enough doujins to know that producer/manager kun gets a free harem of idols just by existing
Considering I already have a half finished Live2d model on my hard drive, definitely going vtuber. I like the idea of creating content far more than the idea of managing someone else's work.
I would rather become a VTuber couse I strugled to find a place where i would want to be or what i would want to do until i found out that VTubers exist and im currently working on a VTuber model and doing everything i can to make this one dream become reality
Kind of tough to choose
I want to be a vtuber and ultimately get back into music production, create a positive community and be bros with all the ones I watch...
But I could also see being a manager, help them succeed while watching their kooky ass entertain.
7:53 That's extremely easy. The most painful one. I've never been in much pain.
About the question, could go either way, buuut I'll take manager, because not everyone has the amount of confidence and creativity to pull off living as a vtuber, and I feel it could be satisfying to help a (hopefully friendly) content creator get big in the world
9:12 that's a question personally, maybe vtuber manager but let's all be real I'd be the manager only dead/dying vtubers would go to because i wouldn't know what the heck I'm doing most of the time lol and why because wynaut
would you rather question: would you rather be forced to eat everything you hate for an entire month or listen to your most hated song on stream for 3 weeks straight
For the question at the end. I would rather be a indie vtuber since I'm already a content creator. I value comedy and self-expression. Being able to express myself while entertaining others is a win win for both sides. Being a manager on the other hand feels like being a babysitter.
I don't think I comment that often on your videos. I watch and have a laugh.
So the end of video "wyr", because I feel like sharing.
I don't have time to be a manager due to having a few major projects to finish. And I don't plan on giving up any of them. Coincidentally, one of those projects does involve a new Vtuber channel that is still in the works, so that answers one question.
As to why. Long story short, a friend wanted me to help with lore videos, editing, and various visual elements. After a few conversations about that, I made my decision.
In the meantime, having fun learning how things work and shifting things with my old channel to get the hang of things for my new channel. So technically three channels I will be involved in the work of.. Won't be the first time for me.
1:02 I used to have 5 rubber tentacles that I would put on one of my hands, then I'd wiggle my fingers really fast. The tentacles would slap back and forth making a really fun noise.
Here’s one: Would you rather be a hobo in a midwestern blue state with a 5% chance of being inherited by a multimillionaire? Or be forced to fight your own worst fear?
Honestly speaking between being a Vtuber or a Vtuber Manger, I'd be a vtuber. Even though it might be a lot more work in the long run to get the ball rolling I just genuinely like the idea of being an entertainer and making people laugh.
(Also I'm saving up to become an actual Vtuber in the future so my answer was kinda obvious....)
Hi Bao, Here's my answer,
If I were to choose between Vtuber or a manager of one. I'd definitely be a Vtuber for funsies. I won't do it for profit and instead do it as a hobby/pass time or as a means to escape from reality to unwind from an exhausting day of work.
As for content I might just do simple things like art, Practicing voice impressions or beatboxing, and maybe the occasional community game or meme reactions
5:11 so... you're saying I have an unlimited supply of body parts to donate/sell just for waking up and washing my face in the morning. And an infinite supply of younger backup parts with no risk of rejection i can preserve to jump back to youth when I get old...
"Live in your own world as an NPC or someone else's as a main character"
Absolutely someone else's, my DND/Pathfinder homebrew setting is absolutely horrific. I'm not taking the chance of being born into a colossal slum, where if the gangs and starvation don't get me, the ineveitable rise of the sewer flesh beasts will.
Vtuber for sure, being a manager seems like a special kind of hell for me
I would want to be a VTube manager because I have an idea to start an entertainment company.
Like, imagine how VTuber companies work. Something similar.
Start small with 5 artists of various skills, hopefully multiple. Have them ALL come with a project bigger than they could do by themselves, and have ALL of them contribute to each other until all 5 projects are finished and released.
Get bigger with more people.
Genre doesn't matter, medium doesn't matter. It could be film, games, music videos, whatever.
The musicians write the music, editors edit, etc.
I am describing a passion project for artists to collab for a very big high-risk/high-reward.
Start off small with 5 projects and see where it goes. If it doesn't take off, they still would probably have the same amount of outreach/fans/etc. that they normally would.
If it takes off though, you could potentially see some pretty high-budget productions as opposed to some guy in a bedroom with a webcam talking about games for 12 hours.
I have plenty of experience with conducting, band-directing, etc. But all of the projects involving other people, were given to me.
Like, "Someone called out, can you take charge?"
The people were already there. I have zero experience with putting stuff together, but once it is together, I can keep everything on track.
Vtuber Manager: I already have tons of practice with looking disappointed at my friends, so nothing real new.
As someone who already streams, I'd rather just add a vtuber model to my setup than manage someone who does that. I'm not in the camp that I think I'd be a better vtuber; rather, I'm in the camp of knowing that my often wishy-washy behavior will drive someone to the brink of insanity, on some "hey, listen, I know I can't make or motivate you to do anything, that has to come from you, but I'll certainly support whatever it is you want to do in this moment, I got you" type of nonsense, which uh...isn't exactly conducive for any kind of managerial position, if you ask me.
I would be a Vtuber because I rather go indie and do it all myself because I'm a busy body and don't trust anybody to get things to exactly how I like it. And being a vtuber manager means I have to do things exactly how somebody likes it and it might be objectively be crap but I have to do it wrong as instructed and probably be blamed for not doing the bad idea well.
1:22 the question i have is how eat icecream with tent tongue
5:12 blue insta locked
7:16 so be god or be yourself
8:19 i havent realy goten hurt enough that i wouldn't chose it id be laughing my ass off
Fun fact! Its possible for your nips to fall off after a surgery, specifically top surgery. Its on the rarer side but it is a possibility, they just, scab up, and fall off..
Love you guys!
For the question, I think I’d be a vtuber, mainly because I can’t manage anything, let alone a single person.
What I do if I found a dead body in my best friends fridge?
Me: Hey man, you gonna eat those leftovers? Cause I’ll take them if you don’t want them. 😊
Y'see, the gamertag climax is an easy fix. It's called a gag. Then they never have to know.
I’d be a VTuber. HOWEVER, I’d have my avatar be an obese nerdy Engineer who rediscovers the primal hunting instincts of his Inupiat Eskimo heritage through visions of his ancestors.
All my outfits would be variations on office wear and accurate fur hunting gear for that frigid Arctic Tundra. And I’d have an outfit that’s a member of a whaling crew. Subsistence Hunting FTW!!! I gotta eat ya know, nothing personal ;)
I _already_ see dead bodies in my best friend's fridge
Vtuber (most probably indie) I will play as a morbidly depressed looking guy that’s like the biggest console game nerd. Streams would include video gaming streams, some( non confidential info about my life,activities,etc) and maybe some drawing/Sketch showing streams ( will always wear gloves to protect identity)
PS: Will never show face on camera unless I have a mask and shades on
If I became a Vtuber Manager for a company the main pro is that I will be able to help and see who Vtubers look like irl behind the screen and even form work-based acquaintances with them but the con is the amount of talent, work and time required to make sure nothing goes wrong in their debut,stream, contacting vtuber modellers and outfit designers, music producers, vtuber software and updates to include more features, meetings with the company on discipline and loyalty and on how to better grommet the company,etc
9:13 I was just about to exit out of the video just as you said this and it scared the crap out of me.
9:38 this part made my day
I have zero experience talking to people and have no charisma, so I could never cut it as an entertainer. Management though, I’m not bad at.
Never seen Juniper before, love the model (and person).
I've bought Persona 5 last month and hearing that music at the end of the video just made me go "EEEEEE"
9:00 I would be a vtuber manager and why I would want to be one is because I would just shut someone’s stream down 😀
Sees thumbnail
Definitely marry Bao
Bao- Have my history browser
We all know what you search, Elden Ring Wolfman pics and Sidon videos
I would definitely be a Vtuber because I have fun ideas for videos
9:38 If I had a nickle for everytime the Yippee virus affected a Vtuber, I would have three nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's quite a coincidence.
The vtuber manager because I get to see a lot of madness. A thrill ride is neverending. Blood for the blood God!
I’d be a Vtuber Manager because I’m literally too shy to speak to people on the internet, even without showing my face…
Your tongue _is_ a tentacle. I think some people think a tentacle has to have suckers, but ironically the more pedantic biologists dont consider octopus arms tentacles precisely because they have suckers (Other Cephalopods like squid and cuttlefish _technically_ have just two tentacles, and a bunch of arms.) The only reason a tongue would be excluded is that its just not long enough, otherwise it pretty much fulfills the definition. (Which is more or less: Elongated, flexible, mobile, muscle without skeletal support. Typically to help with feeding and/or grabbing, often with sensory capability.)
I'd love to be a VTuber, I can play games and share all my experience about game knowledge with the people who watch and I also get to interact with people, especially with other people who share the same interests and possibly other VTubers
I would 100% be a vtuber. I already have a case of cannot shut up syndrome. But in terms of creative endeavors i think the ideas i have thay i would want to make fit into vtubing well, but most importantly ive been involved in multiple roles as a online community face for games, fandoms, and friend groups. Being abel to ahift thaybinto a streamer career doesnt sound off to what i basically will already do online now.
Also i wouldnt even know where to begin as a manager, i can barely function some days by myself.
Vtuber because if i had to manage someone as chaotic as most vtubers i think id go bald early
I would pick being a vtuber, i don't think I would be a particularly good manager, but being a hot bird man? yeah that sounds legit
