Streaming is a vast space that boasts numerous genres. From being a gamer to becoming an OnlyFans model, streamers have a plethora of options to choose from. But one category that has caught the eye of Amouranth is VTubing.

The cartoony avatar and the gimmicks by the individuals behind it have created a fandom for VTubers on the internet. Amo was quite intrigued by the concept and have high expectations regarding this new form. In an exclusive interview with EssentiallySports, the 29-year-old streamer shared her perception about this new streaming angle.

Twitch is one of the biggest streaming platforms, and Amouranth is its uncrowned queen. The streamer has roots in other platforms as well, and she ventures into different genres in her streams. But one style that always has intrigued Kaitlyn is VTubing.

I feel like it’s already flourishing, we see all these very successful VTubers now,” stated Amo. Her perception of the industry can also be backed by the recognition VTubing is getting in recent times. The inclusion in the Streamer Awards is an apt example of the popularity of such streams.

Amo thinks VTubing would likely transform dramatically due to technology. “With AI, I think we are going to get more realistic ‘VTubers’ as well, whether they are starting to look like people in the future”. Kaitlyn’s opinion directs to an AI-driven future.

At present also we are witnessing the extensive use of AI that replicates the real human touch. We cannot forget the viral ‘US Presidents playing Call of Duty’ video that was generated with AI sound modulation.

But why is Amo not taking a dive into this ‘futuristic’ form of streaming?

With the keen interest Amo has shown towards VTubing, one would obviously think why is she not venturing into that front? In the interview with us, Kaitlyn stated a strong reason why she is not transitioning into a VTuber.

“At this point, I think VTubing could be fun, just as a side thing,” stated the 29-year-old. She feels that at this point in her career, VTubing does not hold much significance.

“My main point for wanting to do that from the beginning would be to protect my privacy,” added Amo. The sole reason that she wanted to try VTubing at the beginning of her career was to ensure anonymity in the online space. But now as she has established her persona on the internet, VTubing becomes less useful for the star.

“At this point, I have already destroyed that ability,” Amo stated, and she burst into laughter. The Twitch queen has a broad online presence extending from her Twitch channel to her OnlyFans page. And that is why she is reiterating the fact that VTubing is not her cup of tea at the moment.

But it would be fun to see Amo making her VTube character. Maybe she can incorporate ideas from her popular ‘limited edition’ dolls which have become a fan-favorite. Or she can even take inspiration from the body pillows which xQc has put as a display piece in his streaming room. Both ways, Amo’s avatar will be adored by her fans.
