Neko started streaming in 2020 with a laptop and a $5 pair of earbuds. No webcam, no mic, no goal — just a creative outlet during the pandemic.
Five years later she's built the Neko Nation, gone from no cam to VTuber to full facecam, and still can't bring herself to stop even when she's convinced herself to.
We talk about her origin story, how she grew organically without chasing the algorithm, setting boundaries with a parasocial community, and what five years of consistent streaming actually looks like from the inside.
