Why would anyone want to buy an AI VTuber? Especially back is 2024 and earlier when it doesn't have any significant achievement to its IP.

so... Neuro-sama is an LLM-Powered VTuber, created Vedal987. this VTuber is pretty popular, enough to break Twitch Hype Train Record 3 times in a row, and sit on twitch number 1 spot during their last subathon, and reached 3rd place in twitch peak subscription count.

back in 2024, Vedal has said there was people that offering substantial amount of money to buy Neuro, while the amount of money isn't specified, Vedal said refusing the offer is stupidest financial decision he made.

the thing is... Vedal said that on 19th December 2024! which mean the offer happened somewhere during 2023-2024, none of Neuro's achievements I listed above were done. why would anyone see an LLM-powered avatar and goes "I will offer a lot of money to own this"?? it's one thing to see Neuro's current success and think Vedal own a money printing machine, but otherwise I couldn't understand.

I mean, just look at what Neuro have back in 2024

  • as Intelligence Property: Neuro is a twitch streamer that managed to get over 500k twitch followers within 2 years, and won "best tech VTuber" award.
  • as a system of AI: an LLM attached to Live2D model, highly fine-tuned for streaming, integrated to twitch and few games like Minecraft and Slay the Spire.

Speaking and huge fan of Vedal/Neuro, I don't think their 2024 presence were anything to be "worth". sure! in hindsight it's worth the offer, but is the current height of popularity really what the potential buyer foresee?
