It's so interesting to me that I never adapted into the VTuber nomenclature.

When I first started on YouTube, I was using a 2D image back in 2016; I dove fully into content creation, with a newer 2D version of my character, from 2018-2022. In 2022 I switched to a full 3D version.

It was a lot more work. Normally I'd record my voice, edit out mistakes, etc. That changed with the new character. This meant audio editing, and also being on camera while my face and hands were recorded in real time for my character's rigging for the videos. Then editing those video files.

The "formula" was simple: Write out a script (or wing it, like most of the time), record my voice, edit out any breaths, ums, stutters, etc. Setup my iPhone for facial tracking / recording, and my Ultraleap for tracking my hands / arms. Then edit it all together.

Still I didn't adapt to the term.

If I were to hazard a guess, it was because #VTuber, to me at least, felt more derivative of "anime girls" and by 2020 that term and format was now popular.

Who knows? But it's a lot of work.

I hope to be able to get back into content creation on a regular basis soon. The motivation just hasn't been there. I do often miss being on YouTube, but there are so many reasons why I've sort of stepped away - and it all comes down to: It just wasn't fun anymore.

We'll see what 2025 brings.
