a unique experience because you can connect with your audience in a personal way without interviewing your personal information. um, my audience doesn't see my face, but they can see the way i move and react to certain situations. i feel like i have more control over what information i share with the world. but without losing that personal connection with my audience. inventing an avatar and a whole new personality gives be to bears more freedom but also protecting their private lives. the omega sisters are big and japan's a v tubing community. some of the videos by the virtual twins have millions of views. you jerry wake up at 8 o'clock and this is a free time from like, depth time to about the news. and from south elk grove through 66 steel grove, day shooting a movie, recording videos for

a few hours in the afternoon. sounds like a fidget cushion, jobs, but that's just the fraction of the word we do best do many a stream for 10 or more hours a day because the chances of getting ribs us live, we to best as like the on the go. sisters are more of an exception to the rule with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. they can run several 1000000 euros a year. the tubing is a growing market. according to a to z market research. the global, the 2 are markets could grow nearly a 3rd and the next few years. one reason better hardware and software is making the tubing easier and more accessible. for eco, she flurries in japan and many of the 2 bodies donations are an important source of income. unlike traditional youtube are found fans of the 2 bodies. we'll send more virtual presence or generate some tips to see their name or

a message on the be to be screen. there are 3 types of with this. go there for us, the uh, from the out about the eyes and then of youtube video content. and secondly, it's promotional from a company, for example, from one thing. so as um, product to a project and so, and subway is the uh, cheap or from the audience in the arrive of streaming fans have given tips of up to 10000 euro. they'll donate with the aim of getting closer to the retailer idol. the tubing is not just entertainment, it's also a lucrative business model. feelings come into play and fans and creators funded emotional bonds. approachable, yet keeping an air of mystery that really seems to work. at least for the cheapest, as like all garage, more re, calliope, and this is best to reach you. but what we're not iron miles,

they all have millions of fans across youtube and which we have numbers like that. it's no wonder why v 2 of us are being featured in advertisements, some even collaborate with cities and local authorities. the site time up with extra close to tokyo uses and meet you. but as a tourism ambassador, so of course you because of call that has been advertising for the area since 2022 . these deals are often negotiated by v to the managers and specialized agencies. v tubing is no longer a nice phenomenon. in many places it has become an integral part of the entertainment industry. the tube or agencies manage their talents like they were traditional artist. agencies like hollow live and the songy and b shojo or some of the major players. another is the agency prism which belongs to sony, founded in tokyo, in 2021 prism months,

was bilingual talents. this way they can reach foreign markets like the us. we're animate culture, it's booming. economy is just becoming very popular worldwide and i think the, the tubing phenomenon goes hand in hand with side and the tubing is like a combination of both streaming and annually so. so each originally like a favorite animator is talking and interacting with you and your plan. so i think that's why people are still john to them. since the 20 terms many d 2 percent increase their reach exponentially. it's no surprise that they cut the attention of the entertainment industry. one of the largest features in the entire world, the largest, in fact, he is actually on the english side rather than on the japanese side. not only the population of english speaking countries and the number of fans of that content, whether it's kind of a content, user content, gaming content and so on, of course,

exceeds the population in japan. the world's leading retailer is gal gura. she has more than 4300000 subscribers on youtube alone. in 2022, she overtook keys in a i as the big as a b 2 for star. more and more in the stream is our aiming to make a big agency see this. that's an opportunity a lot of people who are getting into content creation as an independent have not been professional content creators before. and so they don't know the business advocate or the business document, i guess, to be able to negotiate those things out themselves. and there are a lot of creators out there that wish they could have a manager who has that business experience come in and kind of take care of all of those back into administrative things. and they can focus on what they do best, which is content creation, etc. think there are. but this comes at a price. usually the agencies keep about a 3rd of the profits generated by the v tubers. and they're involved in planning

the client schedule and exchange the ve tubers get access to a top notch production environment. they can use the agencies marketing networks to generate more reach and revenue. the agencies can also help them develop new formats and content. for the 2 of us being close, the fans can have a dock side, even if the true identities i'm off by avatar it can and the dangers some deal with harassment and hate speech, including eco hershey for e. i think uh every content creator has dealt with like mean spirited comments and um, kind of insensitive comments and stuff. um whether youre of youtube or not. um, i think the to where is it, in our case, we do have that, but we have another 2 layer to that. and not people tend to forget that we are a real person to but we all kind of went to,

to not take any of it to heart. what kind of harassment do virtual artists and performers face like in the middle of predicting on a v tube or herself and researcher wanted to find out for a study on harassment medicare's. she spoke to more than 800 people about whether they had been harassed in a virtual environment before together with her friend and fellow v to burn them. she presented her findings and a virtual live conference. the most common form of harassment was sexual harassment. there is 3 types of harassment that were divided by the local physical and environmental environmental was being shown in appropriate images just as a physical was being touched in the, in the appropriate manner and vocal while it was slurs um, inappropriate language and everything to do with that research are also tested if the way an avatar looked influence the level of harassment printable. i noticed

once i tried using i made all that's all in the outfit. and another day i tried using one just like regular like genes and stuff. i didn't notice of the made of i did, especially in public words, and i did the end of attracts more positive behavior and then the other one. unfortunately, the 2 of us also need to be protected from hate speech. fortunately, new laws i am the making around the world in the you types, i'm like you is your risk having to pay huge penalties if they don't work to come. but online harassment reach you, but agencies also try to protect the creators from hate speech. we're really, really serious about taking care of the mental health of our talent as well, and focusing on not only being a business partner for them, but a friend along the journey of content creation. but according to research are ludmilla. but many of the tubers want more support for moderators, for example,

or they want more effective tools for blocking abusive users on their channels. however, more restrictions could also affect freedom and anonymity. 2 things, both the users and the tube or its value a lot. the more you stop temperament, let's say uh, rules that especially if it's in the case of like golf with mitchells and stuff like that, it might take away some of the freedom. it's more about the you know, is to mention the overall governing tools. the more like given the uses, the ability to defend themselves and better and actually also to protect themselves . that's ridiculous fellow v tuber nam co authored the report about harassment. and the meta verse number recently produced a song in which she praised the benefits of the matter 1st like freedom through reinvention, a virtual paradise,

but still play by the same issues as the real world. some of the jew, but also taco real life problems like me, nor rule of you know, who has no tati affiliation, but has been elected to the local council of a tokyo district 3 times as a v 2. but he plays the video games and speaks about solely in the quality at his own political plans. all of this is very accessible. so fans can take part in the discussion. what do you think about politicians and, and the may style is v cubing you to stay? oh, is it just a passing fad? that doesn't know what you think by the

ground is creation. hi, human po box, and i can definitely calculate better than being honest friends and eating very few minutes. i can therefore the d. w. what do birth control pills have to do with folks with the this is where the nazis experimented with contraceptive methods. subjecting women to unimaginable cruelty under the guise of science. and the last survivors tell their story. to me, you know, swings the untold story of block 10 in 45 minutes on d w. those to now understand
