• Virtual influencer Mori Calliope performed a sold-out show at the Hollywood Palladium in February.

  • These influencers, also known as VTubers, appear as digital avatars and are gaining popularity.

  • I went to the concert. It was unlike anything I’ve seen before.

    i wish to someday attend something like this. the energy I’ve seen out of hololive events rivals real people concerts, IMO. meanwhile I’ll settle for attending local bands’ events for now.

      Keep in mind the core audience of Business Insider - I don’t think VTubers are a familiar concept to most of them. It’s a decent enough way to make them easily understandable, I’d say.

        oh, I know the core audience of Business Insider.

        “Music creator” would be an apt description of Calli, but they’re only interested in new ways to shill shit. If they don’t know vtubers, they’re probably assuming she’s an AI.
