e: she apparently makes gaming videos now where she plays pubg that are formatted like literally every other youtube let's player except she's An Anime with eyes that don't quite emote right and watching them makes me subtly uncomfortable and a little scared :ohdear:

i think it's because i'm on a hi-dpi monitor and the screenshots i take are saved at that high dpi, then imgur doesn't know what to do with that and pretty much always blows them up to twice their size thinking they're normal 72dpi images and generates a bunch of weird artifacting despite them being png's

i wanted to find the promo this AI supposedly did for otaku coin so I typed otaku coin into youtube and the first few results (from other channels, not hers) are:

4 months ago: "This Could Change The Anime Community Forever"

2 months ago: "What Happened to Otaku Coin?? (Interview with Tokyo Otaku Mode)"

2 weeks ago: "Is Tokyo Otaku Mode Running A Scam With Otaku Coin?"

yep checks out

people apparently insist kizuna ai is a real AI...but if you watch it for a few minutes, it looks like it's just a CGI model, a voice actress, and maybe another guy playing the game. So maybe it's just Youtube performance art?

its just a woman in japan who plays games and uses facerig for her streaming. the overlay is occasionally switched off but its basically the same as that guy who streamed counterstrike using facerig with a doge avatar or whatever


she had started the "ai" gimmick to draw views and mostly references it when she wants to joke around these days.

so you get otaku coins for watching anime and then you can buy anime body pillows with otaku coins?

where exactly does real money enter the system, because those body pillows have a real world manufacturing cost

It all goes to the Otaku Coin Issuers (who are probably solely the people running Otaku Coin), who make out like bandits with all the $$$ and everyone else gets nothing.

Also the question of "What are Content and Goods producers supposed to do with the otaku coins after they get them?"

There is a thing called Playvig, where you get coins for playing games, and then can buy in-game stuff for those coins. Only in reality you have to watch an ad before every game. I suspect they had something similar in mind, only with BLOCKCHAIN for no loving reason at all.

Also, didn't think I would need to say this in this thread, but anime is bad.
