Who is Polar? Content mill produces vtuber (Hatsune Miku at Home?)
0I fell quite deep down the rabbit hole trying to figure out who Polar was and where she came from, after reading about this international superstar. Who I somehow never heard of??? And no one else had seemed to either?

PLEASE REMEMBER do not attack Polar herself. If there is a real person behind the character, we don't know her situation. Maybe she's in on the BS. Maybe she's in an unfortunate situation. We can't assume. I've heard some people are giving her death threats and this is NEVER ok. Do not do this.
That being said, what are your opinions on the situation overall, and the fact that content mills have started approaching vtuber-like content? I'm personally not a big fan, and hope it doesn't end up changing the algorithm too much. It screams "youtube kids but for adults", particularly the minion dancing video, and I just hope either the channel takes a more humanizing approach in the future and redeems itself in the eyes of the community, or at least, that this isn't the start of a new trend in general if it succeeds and more companies pursue a similar approach.
Thanks as well to everyone on my Discord who helped be a part of the discussion and helped me find information!
