Since aethel Acknowledged the swarm... React andy Neuro is back on the menu?

[waxen rose]

(Typed on my computer which doesn't allow me to search for forums like mobile can) But as the title says, because Aethel Acknowledged the swarm, and is allied with them, I pray and hope for neuro to obtain her second react andy arc. Helpful links: #ironmouse-canvas message (clip where Aethel Acknowledged the swarm) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=www1o6_GlV8&list=PLgTfBP_Kot_Xo7NyHgEQU9ZwW7xxd0khf (Neuro's first react andy arc although be it with her hiyori model)

Edit: Wanted to Add on Vtubemoment’s Twitter and YouTube so Vedal could check him out

So far my efforts have been enough to achieve this result. I hope you like this art.

i would also welcome more short-form react content, but I don't expect this to be the thing that tips the scales

[waxen rose]

Yeah, besides, we don’t know if react Andy always works unless vtubemoment uploads it. But that’s what I would say if I didn’t love react Andy vtubers. BECAUSE I LOVE REACT ANDY VTUBERS!

Honestly kinda wonder if Vedal has ever experimented with offline-recording for short-form content and stuff. Live-chat interactions sometimes provide a lot to the entertainment of clips and videos, however, I feel that in a lot of instance it's either the Neuro's interaction and reactions with the content at hand, that actually makes it fun. So this can be, Neuro interacting with Vedal and being fun; Neuro interacting with chat and being fun; Neuro interacting with a game and being fun. So I think that Vedal could try to record offline reactions with her and see how that pans out. Either way, it would be something different from the usual

[finite badger]

Hmmm I would happily welcome putting the neurosama channel on my RSS feed if there was good quality pre-recorded content.
Pre-recorded youtube content could be more experimental and less filtered.
It's harder to monetize though, and would require Vedal to learn how to Youtube.
I wonder if it's part of Vedal's vision. Editing the videos would be taking autonomy away from Neuro, rather than giving her more.

[hollow swallow]

I think that we need a mission, vision and value statements from Vedal then lol

[hollow swallow]

Doesn't he have an editor, editing what is already being put on the main channel?

And I don't think that it would really be taking away autonomy. It would just be to highlight her funny moments/ to cut the bad parts (long silences, delays, and extremely bad stuff that gets through the filter). And heck, autonomy is that big of an issue, Vedal could always open a Patreon and post the uncut content on there, or just use the official vods channel to post it for free, a few weeks after the videos' publication

[finite badger]

(nitpick incoming) Maybe the editor specialises in clipping streams, and the art of making youtube videos is significantly different?
Also Vedal would need to be producing content with the Youtube environment in mind - this knowledge would need to be developed or outsource.
Tell me if i'm spewing nonsense here; I know basically nothing about professional content creation and the differences between youtube and twitch.

If Vedal doesn't care about gaming the youtube system and performing well on it, he doesn't need to worry about these things.

I suppose the expansion to Bilibili has already given Vedal some experience in a platform like youtube

[finite badger]

Yeah it doesn't infringe on her autonomy that much, but it does point in that direction
Eh maybe you're right and it's a very small thing

[craggy gazelle]

i’d argue the making of content itself would be harder than editing it would be, making a youtube video requires an entirely different approach and requires you to carry alot of the content.

maybe if Vedal was there he could guide Neuro more but that depends on what they’re recording.

[finite badger]

Oh and I guess Neuro is trained/finetuned to be a streamer, not a solo commentator?

[hollow swallow]

In all honesty, I don't know either. I mainly just assumed that work wise (mechanically), it wouldn't be much different since would still be slipping a long form video (recorded offline, instead of live). However, it may be different from a creative standpoint, as Vedal may want to manually play certain scenes or events for the videos. (i.e.: offline videos may allow for more creative liberties regarding the set-up of situions). But you're right. If that's not Vedal goal, then he would either need someone to help him with it or just not do it. Either way, it's fine since the goal is just to propose ideas to vary content/ revenue sources (sry, business brain ) and not force him.

[hollow swallow]

Maybe

[finite badger]

it's fine since the goal is just to propose ideas
yeah i guess something possibly not being in Vedal's vision shouldn't stifle our discussion about it

[hollow swallow]

Basically. Eitherway, I've always thought to myself that if Vedal corp was a publibly traded company, I would invest in it. Because of that, I sort of see Dev streams as the weekly investor's meeting lmao (Joking ofc). Eitherway, I think that the cool thing of these convos and discussions is that Vedal may address interesting proposals during those streams so it can be usefull

[finite badger]

Because of that, I sort of see Dev streams as the weekly investor's meeting lmao
lol I get the same impression. Vedal tries to convince his oilers to keep funding the project

[hollow swallow]

Exactly, to be honestly, this is what makes these the best streams of the week, haha

[waxen rose]

Another good example to learn from is Milky, who unlike the other reactors lets the video play all the way through, while providing commentary on it https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgTfBP_Kot_VSS1dQVKRFHFMJUDMaRd2o&feature=shared

[finite badger]

So she doesn't cut down the video?

[hollow swallow]

Tbh, I think that it would mostly depend on preference (which may be subjective), as well as the type of content that is being reacted to. If it's short form content (< 10 or 15 seconds), then I think that it could work well in a way that doesn't disrupt the overall consumption of the video. However, for longer formats, I would prefer the typical: Pause > Talk > Resume video, because for those kinds of video, the viewer may actually want to be able to hear what is happening, and depending on things like the audio mixing and such, having Neuro speak while the video is running, may be annoying. Additionally, one may also want to consider Neuro's speech cadence. Evil can speak faster (I think though it seems like she can control it), while from what I've see, it seems that Neuro has a continuous non-varying speech cadence. Therefore, what could happen is that if the video is playing and Neuro is talking, she may take 5 - 10 seconds to say something and when she is done, have the video at a point where the topic that is address is completly different which may make it even harder for a viewer to follow what the video is about. At least, that's my opinion.

Tbh tho, I would probably recommend a combination of the two where Vedal could set up a word count tracker where the video would stop if Neuro for instance is about to go a long rent, and let the video run, if Neuro just has a few words to say which wouldn't disturb the watching experience

Ah
