It's pretty interesting watching the vtuber boom grow and expand its influence.

It's especially interesting to see mangakas become vtubers because that means that they can get an additional source of income just from streaming and monetizing their drawing process, alongside the regular income they get from publishing their work.

This means that they don't have to rely so much on the whims and popularity rankings of the magazine they're published in/contracted to in order to make a living. Which also means less stress for the artists and could lead to better overall health for the manga industry. Plus, if their current work does get dropped by the magazine, there is a chance they may still continue their work if their streaming audience is big enough to fund it themselves.

Fewer dropped/axed manga is always good in my eyes.
