It wasn’t egregiously bad, but boring and long enough that I’d rather spend my Sunday afternoon doing something else.
I watched the first one as a kid. Experiencing it in 3D at the cinema was nothing short of a magical experience. The second one, while very good looking, didn’t have this aspect of exciting new technology to go along with it. I’m sure there’s plenty of excitement for vfx nerds, but nothing a layman could get excited about. The story and characters are developed just enough to drive the exciting visuals.

I always assumed the vtubers were kind of automated so the whole thing seems less offputting knowing there is a person behind them in a more literal sense.
Last question if you dont mind. As a viewer, what category do you think this channel fall under, comedy? just chatting? or is seeing the goals other subscribers set the fun part?

So the avatar is an AI, but then suddenly theres many other avatars on screen (like at 1:27), are all of those collaborators also AI created by the same guy or different AI by other people?
I also dont understand whats going on from 1:00 to 1:12. Is that a random viewer of the stream in a shop letting the a.i pick what it wants?

They’re actively selling data to fund a product that will actively make their own less attractive to their own clients. Users get a less enjoyable experience and use the app less. Advertisers don’t want to pay for their stuff to be shown to a bot eco chamber. Pivoting to video content is probably helping with that, but I don’t see it catching up to tiktoks numbers soon.

It works like a streaming service (remembers where you are in an episode, which youve watched, a library and recently viewed + browsing by categories) but it has 99% of the content youll ever look for.
its a testament to the state of paid for streaming that i actually do have access to hbo, disney, netflix and prime and still opt for stremio out of simplicity and a good user experience.

It came out during the end of the pandemic I think, and it’s a classic Spanish sobremesa of friends eating, drinking and making music, at a time we couldn’t do that for like a year. Has a special spot in my heart for that.

I hadnt even considered the buying/selling of accounts by normal people but yeah that’s a potentially easy bypass. Sadly I think the way this is going, let’s hope your online identity isn’t legally the same as your irl identity. As in, let’s say you unlock an account for a kid who ends up committing a crime online. The way it’s going you might be charged for the crime because that account is using your id. Let’s hope that’s not the case ever because it’d be opening a huge can of worms….
But at the end of the day this whole thing is spying on users with children safety as a cover, si they’ll open the can of worms for the possibility of more data.
