vtubers, or virtual youtubers are, for the most part, youtubers (often streamers) who use anime models. Often custom Live2D avatars that you can operate using programs like FaceRig, though there are a lot of other methods. It's a niche scene, but one that's experienced huge growth. Tens of thousands of people are vtubers now, and not only on Youtube itself. There are even dedicated "vtuber" live broadcast apps out there for smartphones with their own self-contained communities filled with hundreds of streamers and thousands of viewers (i watch a few people on platforms like REALITY and SHOWROOM, for example), so it's a term that's gotten a little more loose over time.
