is this Exclusive to Vtubing?

Hello is this product exclusive to only Vtubers or can you make Vtwitchers or VContentCreators aswell?

VTuber is an umbrella term for all forms of content with such an avatar and it's not exclusive to Youtube. Those on Twitch, Twitter or any other platform are still called Vtuber and i've not heard anyone even use those other terms.

VContentCreator is the umbrella term
you must be operating on old information Twitter hasnt existed for almost a year by now it was rebranded to X
since you do operate on 1 year old information maybe it has changed before, I have never heard people refer to VTwitcher or VCCs as Vtuber if tehy operated outside of youtube, only really if they are dual streaming

Feel free to search for the VTwitcher-, VContentCreator- or VCC-tags on twitch, but don't be surprised if you won't find even a single one using that tag (or not more than a handful when you're lucky in peak times), because guess what, they're all using the VTuber tag.

The term virtual Youtuber was first used by Kizuna AI in 2016, later shortened to VTuber and used by a few more Youtubers. And when the big agencies started to dive into this market at around 2020, they literally cemented the term VTuber into everyones mind so hard, that it got used all over the internet, including Twitch and Twitter.

I still remember the time when people discussed about if it should be replaced by a more generic term, but at that time VTuber was already established and any attempt to introduce something new was extremely unsuccesful every since then, given that it's mostly just very small VTubers who even try to name themselves differently

The only term that got popular beyond the VTuber-term so far is PNGtuber, which however usually still use the VTuber-tag alongside it, since there's way less gatekeeping around what is considered VTubing the past few years.

There are also a few which call themselves VArtist, however most rather just use Artist instead as far as i can tell, especially the more established ones, which are still artists even outside their streams.

As for every other term, if i read something as obscure as the ones you're using, then i often feel like they're only using that term just for the sake of being different.

Though, feel free to use obscure tags like that for yourself, but if you want to be found, then it's usually better to stick to tags which are actually be searched for by potential followers.

How can you be aware of the rebrand and completely miss the reason for why some people still call it Twitter? I rather stick to the bird as the symbol of freedom opposed to whatever dystopic idea of freedom Musk wants us to believe in.
