Actually, &#8220;Gateway BOX&#8221; offers high returns, with only 5% retained by the organization. Most other agencies take around 30-50%. Many people start their activities without understanding this flow of revenue. Although the &#8220;VTuber Gateway&#8221; conducts a screening process, its main goal is not about passing or failing but rather improving literacy across the VTuber industry. It emphasizes making informed decisions before diving in.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/streamer-magazine.lolipop.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/img_06-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4737\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"chat-container\">\n    <div class=\"chat-message\">\n        <div class=\"icon-container\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/streamer-magazine.lolipop.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/icon2.jpg\" alt=\"User 1\">\n            <div class=\"user-name\">Mr. Sakai<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"message-text\">It often feels like we&#8217;re observing a club activity rather than a business venture during evaluations.

In the established field of entertainment, there are clear benchmarks like singing, dancing, and appearance. However, the VTuber realm, with its short history, covers a wide spectrum of activities from chatting to singing and gaming. The concept of professionalism itself is vague in this context.<br>\n<br>\nThis ambiguity could give rise to exploitative companies that prey on aspiring VTubers. Instead of falling victim to such exploitation, we encourage participation in the &#8220;VTuber Gateway.&#8221; We avoid such exploitation and can guide even those who don&#8217;t pass the entrance exams in the right direction.

However, they did, due to their links to the person behind them. The next viewpoint was business, suggesting avatars made character merchandising easier. But successful examples were rare and non-replicable. <br>\n<br>\nSo what is the current &#8220;value of an avatar&#8221;? I believe it&#8217;s their ability to erase biases. People are often judged by first impressions, but avatars remove that bias. For example, a woman in her 40s or 50s urging, &#8220;Choose me!&#8221; might struggle in reality. Yet, with a younger avatar, she could be embraced as an intelligent and experienced individual.

For those about to start as VTubers or just beginning, it&#8217;s important to clarify &#8220;why&#8221; you are doing this and set your priorities. The reason is simple; depending on your purpose, what you need to do changes entirely.<br>\n<br>\nFor example, if you want to join a major agency, creating a track record to pass auditions is a must. If you want freedom in self-expression, maybe not joining an agency is better as it allows you to stick to your ideals more easily.<br>\n<br>\nIf joining an agency, choose one with a good return rate. If going solo, understanding the concept of investment is crucial. Consider how much you\u2019re willing to spend and what kind of returns you can expect. If you can\u2019t do that financial planning, sustaining your activities will be difficult. If you\u2019re looking for success at a young age or simply want to make money, you\u2019ll need a strategy for riding YouTube trends. Ultimately, &#8220;why you are doing this&#8221; heavily influences your actions.
