   i remember why being a youtuber/vtuber interested me to begin with as well
   
   i saw funny clips and moments of just having fun, and i thought, "i wanna experience that too!" and maybe i'd also find people who i can always have fun with too
   
   instead i get some gay parasocial fan, some guy on kick that stalks whenever i stream to spam random insults, weird idolization of what i believe, and learning how monotonous humanity is

     @ninja8tyu how did the gay parasocial fan came to be? where you trying a femboy approach to vtubing or something?

     @LolikingSama @ninja8tyu the fucking mentality behind giving fake smiles is so stupid. I'm gonna help that customer get what they want to the best of my ability as long as they're not being a dickhead, why do I have to fake emotions on top of it?
     
     Customers always loved me and were always super polite even without me acting like that so there's literally no fucking point.

     i guess that's the real reason i'd never succeed as a vtuber or an artist: i'm supposed to make others happy whether or not i am
     
     and now i feel like the line "you should only do this if you love this" is fake
     
     if it's money, you may as well try your hand at it, and if you're good at it, then you'll be able to live without having to break your wrists
     
     no one goes to work at a warehouse, fast food, or customer service because they love it
     
     it's just that if anyone goes into this shit expecting anything more than hard labor for money, it's not going to feel good, and it particularly sucks for a job that involves having love for what you do
     
     also kinda fucked up how my job's corporate niggers wants to fire unenthusiastic employees, even the ones in the back that don't interact with customers, despite the career life there basically being nothing but back-breaking and unloving
     
     jobs that require love are not valued, jobs that don't are demanded to have love

     @ninja8tyu why I don't work fast food. Used to work front end at a Wendy's a couple of years ago and I would constantly get into disagreements with upper management about not up selling, smiling at the customer, and all that shit. I always told them I'm not that guy. But I always did my job better than everyone else so nothing came of it.
     
     But honestly the ideal people strive for is to do a job you love. And if that job happens to be your hobby that you enjoy doing then you've won life. To do a job that doesn't feel like one. What I've managed to do is find a job that's easy for me to do and I don't hate and go home and do a hobby (watch anime play games, learning Japanese) and my mental seems to be holding out just fine. I'm fine with my life as it is now but I do expect more from myself at my young age.

     @Kyonko802 @ninja8tyu that's what I'm saying too. I used to have regulars that would ask for me personally without all of that fake smile BS. I hated seeing people do it too. Like you CAN have a personality while working customer service lol.

     @ninja8tyu I never got into it in the first place because I actually don't have anything I see as entertaining that I do myself, I do have a bunch of videos from half a year ago that's sitting on my drive but it's just hours of me playing a game... I Don't crack jokes in it, I don't laugh, I just play a game normally...
     Well, I am paying for a cubism subscription due to a sale so I'm incentivized to make something by years end past the koikatsu vrm model (i lost means to modify

     @Kyonko802 @LolikingSama @ninja8tyu Get in the maid costume and flirt with the customers, it's the only way.
     (Why America doesn't have maid cafe, Taverns, and Izakaiya but instead corpo burger and stake joints or someones house instead.) Imagine cosplay walk-in where all the staff dress like 18th century nobles. America needs to fund single family franchises with fashion codes and construct those Restaurants with upper floor living space.
