back when I was a smaller vtuber years ago now, I accepted a GMOD TTT Collab with like 15 other even smaller vtubers.
Obviously way too many to have in a single VC and it basically just devolved into everyone screaming over each other in an effort to clip farm. Completely incoherent and overstimulating.
No one was paying attention to anything anyone else was doing or saying as everyone was just trying to be the center of attention with no regard for the other people participating or the audience watching.
Even if something funny DID happen it would be quickly overshadowed by the next person trying to get their own joke in and the footage was basically unusable by every definition.
I tried to speak up & push to calm things down a bit to create a better experience both for the audience and the streamers & the host interrupted me and told me on everyone's behalf "Taiga we know you're the big streamer and all here but this isn't your collab" or something to that effect.
pretty sure I just left after that... I've been very picky with my collabs ever since lol
Do you guys have any bad collab experiences?
My worst one was a couple years ago with a VTuber. We were supposed to play Valorant together, but something came up on their end. They canceled less than an hour before we were scheduled to go live. I get that emergencies happen, so I reached out to reschedule… and got completely ghosted. A short while later, they even unfollowed me.
We had similar-sized audiences, so it wasn’t like I was a nobody to them. I was just left hanging with nothing. I hope they were okay, but it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.
