It's pretty sad, but I guess they gotta complain where it'll be annoying rather than where they can find someone they agree with

Incidentally, Weekly Playboy is not connected to the US Playboy in any way. There used to be a Japanese franchise of the US Playboy called "Monthly Playboy", but it was discontinued in 2008.

I know it's not the main focus of the article, but it's nice to see Suisei's album doing so well(especially since she's the best singer I've ever heard in my 22.5 years of life)

When it comes to Hololive Vtubers, the talents are far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far better paid than say, a keyframe artist on your favorite anime. Seriously if exploitation of labor is what's got ya held up from enjoying Hololive Vtubers then I hope you stay very far away from anime because that's where much, much more grievous exploitative labor practices are occurring.

Pretty much the above. To maybe show how much, for Holomyth's first anniversary, check out Ame's anniversary stream with the group in VRChat. A lot of that stuff was commissioned by her and funded by her fans, from what I remembered. Not sure if the other four had VR gear, but would imagine she helped get those for them as well.

technically models differ from Vtuber to Vtuber, some are janky, some are buttery smooth, they always list who works on the various models in their debuts.
They also don't usually read off peoples names throughout the entire stream, it's not uncommon to have separate streams for that sort of thing like with Selen Tatsuki, or to dedicate time at the end of each stream like Kiara(Her gameplay tends to be 3 or 4 hours with 2 hours of superchats afterwards)
Lengths between vtubers also tend to vary. Mumei's streams are pretty short, same with Suisei's( usually roughly an hour, maybe a little more, depends on the game honestly). Kiara and Elira tend to do the really long ones
Vtubers are also used by many as background material. I myself can only dedicate myself to Kiara's streams for so long, so I put them in the background while I play video games, work, or draw.
As for other Vtubers, while I dedicate myself to Rosemi Lovelock and Ouro Kronii, most Vtubers go on in the background while I try to sleep, and while I sleep. They're entertaining, but don't grab my attention enough to make it hard to sleep.
not trying to change your mind on Vtubers, just correcting you

You know, you are free to just not watch them. No need to come into this post and insult people who enjoy something that you dont.

If we’re supposed to be mindful and respectful, what about otastorian calling people social rejects? The post already had insults removed. Was that missed or is that kind of name calling allowed?

If it helps, it's worth pointing out that Weekly Playboy doesn't have nudity in it so it's not as illicit as one might think. It's just gravure stuff.
