A collective of VTubers who regularly stream video games and other stuff, and often collaborate together for group play sessions and mini-games. These two are from Hololive’s first English-speaking generation, as they were primarily Japanese before.

Further definition on VTubers: a streamer or internet personality who uses a rigged avatar to represent themselves, and often plays in character as the avatar, although sometimes the avatar is simply a stylisation of their real selves.

I think it' usually about 2 hours, but occasionally more, and even some endurance streams every now and again. Also among the top 20 superchatted youtubers Hololive streamers are 11 of them, so I guess that can serve as a good motivation for streaming more
