KZhead's top performers in the past couple of years have had a very intriguing common feature - they are faceless. Whether it's Dream, Corpse Husband, the VTuber community, and many more - it seems like keeping the mystery and protecting their privacy has been a priority. In this video we take a look at this relatively new trend that seems to be gaining popularity.

FACELESS GANG RISE UP
oh you watch this?
Nice

"The Rise of Faceless Creators" implies that this is a recent trend, but it really is not. The faceless creator came into being alongside the very idea of a youtuber. Vtubers are nothing new, they are just evolution that drew attention to it. Cartoons and game avatars have always been usad as stand ins for the creator who wanted to keep their face hidden. Minecraft youtubers in particular are notable for using their avatars as their face long before vtubers were a thing, but if you wanna get faceless, there are scores of creators without any face at all, just a logo and voice.
Exactly avatars are Nothing new either also literally most video rants are just a voice and some background video
Yeah for example delirious
In other words, Video never really killed the Radio Star, they just take turns
VTubers are quite new and that was kind of a stupid thing to say TBH. Live body tracking? Not exactly old.
I think you should make the distinction that VTubers like from Hololive, VShojo, Nijisanji, etc are voiced by real people and the characters they play usually represent the real personality of the person, they just don't show their faces, but for Hatsune Miku she literally does not exist, there is no voice actor, no face behind her, and no way to meet her.
yes we can catagorized CorpseHusband, Dream, and Vtuber in one but For Hatsune miku... its literally a machine seriously
Mikkiku or whatever her name is=money
There's a voice actor behind her, Saki Fujita
Saki Fujita is just Miku's voice provider, she doesnt attach herself to Miku's name Other than her voice, lots of Miku related content is made without contributions from Miku's VA
VTubers are basically just the modern equivalent of The Muppets: in both cases, while we know that logically this isn’t real, we all culturally agree to treat this as the reality, as an audience driven Kayfabe
Being faceless is whole lot healthier for the creator too, in my opinion. They can still live a normal life while doing what they love.
...sometimes
As one guy who I just saw in the comments said “its a win-win.”
Unless you got a voice like corpses yeah
Agree but people keep asking for u to make a face reveal... it gets annoying
But if they do something bad no one would know it was them so they can do whatever they want all they have to do is go on another account
Not going to lie, I am just shy af

I think having idols that aren’t real people is so common already. We have comic book characters, game characters, movie characters, even book characters that people look up to and have personal connections to. The fact that Japan has already (in my opinion) perfected having a music star in this way is just the natural order of how things are going to go. I don’t have much else to say because you’ve already summed it up perfectly
I agree. People have always had a fictional story character who they liked, when that fictional character is literally talking to us (like a vtuber), it's like a dream come true for the viewer.
One of the greatest things about being a faceless content creator is that people will be attached to your content and personality and not your looks. Or there will be someone here telling me the most famous female streamers who are all good-looking are famous because of their gaming skills?
No one that’s stupid
Yea no simps
eh, some people simp for their voices so it's kinda yes but also kinda no.

Hi :3
Hewwwo
Good example was marshmello. Legit everyone was going crazy about how he looks before face reveal. It's like a never ending hype train.
You know, I wish I got around to watching this sooner! I actually had a conversation with a close online friend about this topic, more specifically Dream. A mutual friend, at the time, was and still is into the dream SMP, causing my friend to take a closer look into it all as well as Dream. I think Dream’s intentions were and are good but it turned sour. He clearly has a desire to protect himself, his friends, and his fans. However, his attempts to connect with his community have only created a sense of false intimacy and entitlement to his attention. From what I’ve heard, the whole phone situation left one fan crying because she didn’t have enough phone data to text dream. It becomes unhealthy when things like that happen and I fear people like Dream are finding it difficult to connect while also setting boundaries. Boundaries are clearly important, as they are faceless. They are unwilling to give up their privacy and identity over to fans (and good for them for that) but their fans can come to feel increasingly entitled to it. Of course, this can breed resentment when they hold fast to their privacy which they value, and properly so. I don’t think it helps that newer generations are built the way they are. Many people my age seem to struggle with their self worth, appearance, depression, anxiety, parental issues, and many other hard things to overcome. Many people seek release and an escape. The internet is that escape for many and it slowly over time grows unhealthy. The internet is just like the world, it has good and bad so you cannot escape the world here either. So we have some extremely unstable people sometimes who are clinging to online content or the internet to give them a sense of worth or a life, because they do not like their life. It doesn’t help that this escapism is almost enabled in a way by some creators, who are just trying to be supportive of their fan base. It is sad really. Those who are just trying to create a positive environment and engage those who appreciate their content have possibly accidentally enabled unhealthy behavior. Furthermore, if a faceless persona, especially Dream, ever unmasked themself, I fear it could be more dangerous than normal. I worry that perhaps the closeness fostered by the anonymity could surge in a sudden reveal, causing severe pushes for more personal information and many visits to the influencer’s house. If their audience sees the influencer as a friend, that can cause even more entitlement to see the influencer. Not just because “I’m a fan, I made you famous,” but because “I’m your friend, you should be happy to see me and spend time with me,” as well. This may be why virtual influencers are seen as the future. They have nothing that can be taken from them, they can be controlled by the whims of their audience as it do no harm. However, if we do end up with more virtual, non human influencers- that could end up being a problem. AI is easier to control than humans are, which would allow for easier domination of the field by corrupt forces. But that’s not something I want to go into. So friends, be careful! Be mindful of how you view your relationship with influencers. I bet you are all smart people and can judge for yourself what is healthy and what is not. Best of wishes! Please note I wrote this at like 4 AM so this may be messily written. These are just my thoughts on the matter and I am willing to hear the opinions of others! I welcome conversations with open arms!
I still don't understand how people can be more attached to a creator because they are anonymous. It seems counter-intuitive to the whole idea of anonymity.
@@satyavarma2449 I personally don't think they are pretty much from what I can tell all the most beloved Creators have their identity directly out their. I'm not say the most popular, but most beloved. People like PewDiePie, Mr Beast, Penguinz0, and SomeOrdinaryGamer are extremely beloved in ways that would be hard for a faceless creator to replicate.

Uh oh.
Well that sounds even more worser than having a healthy relationship with someone .
@@highsky6175 Yeah, I think it's unhealthy cause of the fact that they're attracted to an invisible or nonexistent being. You can be sexually or romantically attracted to fictional characters and still be in a healthy relationship with an existing person, I am all for that. When it gets to be very unhealthy is when you cut off all contact with the real-life dating world to be with this part of your imagination.
H2O delirious who has kept his identity a secret for 8 years: *amateurs*
Howtobasic: *Sips tea*
Sad thing is in Corpse Husband's case, he takes extra care n tries to talk as little as possible in public because his voice is so distinctive, someone can easily recognize even if they don't know who he looks like.
Not only that but he has a health condition known as GERD which made his voice the way it is and he's in pain cause of it
If you ever see a person in public who you recognize there voice and know it’s them from the media but they don’t want to be known then just don’t even say anything about it. Their is a reason why they don’t show their face.

I feel like the faceless thing only really works with youtubers, it would be weird if one day you didn’t see real people on TV. But at the same time, the privacy problem is a big problem, famous people cant leave their homes without being bombarded with fans, and in some cases, they don’t even need to leave their homes.
Vtubers like Kizuna Ai already worked on tv tho. They invaded twitch too. 3D/2D model filter on your face is easy to do. You just need to pay someone to make and rig a model for you to use it with your webcam. It's the next step after the filters from app like snapchat etc.
@@BC-vj1gm It's coming little by little. They made an entire anime tv series without plot with vtubers as characters not so long enough too... their job was just to speak between themselves without any script like in a VR chat lol (it was bad), the name was virtual-san looking or something like that
+ music artists probably could get away with it, especially those on a smaller scale (though that would probably overlap with “youtubers”).
Would you not consider cartoons faceless entertainment?
@@brycecrispy I think they were referring to real people with personas. Voice actors for cartoons don’t count since a character they voice act for is not who they are, if that makes sense.
I feel sorry for some of the faceless youtubers, bc they are constantly harassed by people to reveal their face. Literally the opposite of what they would want to do
That’s the downside of a huge faceless creator
Not the vtuber community
@@ionlycreatedthissothatican6859 They simp for the avatar because they know some of them are dudes

@@ionlycreatedthissothatican6859 yea ik, i’ve watched some of them but it isn’t my cup of tea
I want to start a channel and I think the idea to go faceless makes sense, some creators use their channels to talk about problems and that give the fans some kind of responsibility into the content creator's mind health. I think that is the other side of the coin and deserves to be talked as well.
Cool
I love the wavey animation you do at end of your video! Never fails to make me smile 😃
We already do have faceless real life celebrities like Marshmello. Being faceless, also gives you the freedom to decide when you want to reveal your identity because at first, fame can hit people hard.

There is only one problem for faceless youtubers: their voices carry them.
The first thing that a person looks on a famous person, is the face lol, I mean you are not gonna put attention to all the people around you and hear if she/he is an specific famous KZheadr. Another problem, sometimes the voices that you hear in the video are not the real voices, I am not saying that is because they can use programs to change their voices. Take example H2O Delirious, at the beginning he use 2 different mics, one carry his “normal” voice, an the other change it a little because it was a new one, people love the old one, and past the time he carry a mic that the voice could be different at times. Corpse Husband is another example, a lot of people think he uses a program to have that voice, he said that’s his voice, but still the same could happen, the mic sometimes changes the voice without any reason.

The “only pretty people get to show off” thing hits deep for me. And as messed up as it is, I joined in on believing it only until I got myself a dose of reality Love your takes having a structure yet still being able to go on tangents. You deserve more subscribers 🙌 I don’t have to related to creators in general. I only really care about humor, a moral code (EmperorTigerstar as an example), and no aggressive clout chasing or advertisement of merch/money over creativity bullshit
I do feel like we are going to move into the era of faceless creators but I feel there’s also the issue of not earning that should have been received. Lets take Vocaloid as the main example since everyone knows who Hatsune Miku is and the song she sings. However, those songs are created by vocaloid producers who are mainly just independent music creators who bought vocaloid voice banks and write songs and arrangements. A lot of these producers have rise to a lot of classic songs and even more newer producers are still joining creating songs. It should be the case that the producers are suppose to be know for the songs they created, however that sadly isn’t the case. One of the ways to get a producer to stop writing their song is if they don’t receive the credit for the songs. It was really bad when Vocaloid started to become popular overseas where the audience actually thought Miku was the one who wrote the song. Example, “I love the song Rolling Girl by Hatsune Miku.” When in reality that song is created by Wowaka. There’s a reason for why in a lot of vocaloid songs have “Feat. [Instert vocaloid here] by [ Producer ]” to help the audience listen to a song with a singer they’re familiar with and help to listen to more of the producers songs.
Facts bro
Yes! so agreed with yours!! The producers who wrote the songs deserves recognition and love!

4:12 honestly the reason I love this channel. Most other youtubers do not do this, including the big ones. Just a simple stop, and level with everyone and admit he made a mistake, without anyone needing to prompt it to him.
I personally would not like AI creators, I don't mind it if an actual creator doesn't show their face but I think it would be really weird to support an avatar which is run by a team.
I kind of agree. Sure they can be entertaining but it is kind of weird to think that a lot of people are behind Miku but it's not like when you hear about perseverance you instantly think of all the engineers behind the project you think of the Rover as its own entity.
Literally what happened with Kizuna AI, now she's a bunch of split personalities being run by a team behind the scenes lol
Fair but think of how easy it would be to laugh at people who try to make fun of AI
the thing about being faceless is, you can show what you really are without worrying nothing, like, when you show your faces you must make a good public persona, so everyone thinks you're a good person _cough_ elen d'generes _cough_ while when you show no face you can just be as chaotic as you want since it's your masked persona, "give a man a mask and he will show his true face" indeed

It’s always strange when a faceless creator reveals themselves. I don’t think their appearance ever matches the way we perceive them through their voice and personality and it would be foolish to expect them to. Fans have so many expectations of their favorite celebrities that it really feels like they are treated as if they are of some other species that experiences emotion and behavior very differently than a human does. I think the best way to treat celebrities and creators is with mindfulness. If you put yourself in their shoes, and really try to imagine how whatever was being asked of them would make you feel. It seems almost impossible at times, but we expect them to get everything right, all the time otherwise... “CANCEL THEM!”. Fans have to do better across the board and some celebs do too, but we should both try to respect one another.

I still love your outro man , you and wilfur look so cute.
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." Oscar Wilde
I did a whole essay on the generational differences on social media. Millennials were prone to over sharing every moment, but Gen Z grew up with the “everything is permanent on the Internet” message so ingrained into our brain that we all we want is privacy. We use messaging apps that delete after a day, Finstas and Close Friend stories, and we hardly ever use a real profile picture. I think this wave of faceless creators really shows just how much Gen Z value privacy in their Internet experience. Anonymity is the new relatability. And there’s something wholesome about liking a creator based solely on their personality and not some FaceTuned image they try to portray.
I respect this You put so much time and effort to show the difference between generations and for people to better understand loving it
Sounds like you did a really good job on your essay💕
That's actually really fascinating! Wonder how things may change with future generations.
A ton of people say that my generation(Z) is ruining the world right now. Quite frankly? It's hilarious, it's the exact opposite really. If you want to see the issues in our world, ask Gen Z or Alpha. We don't like to censor our views on what's wrong with the world. My 8 year old cousin is... he has almost no filter. I'm actually proud of him for it tho, he comes up with such interesting questions. It always ends up with us both learning something, both bouncing around interesting perspectives to each other, adding on. The little dude is far from technically intelligent, but he's more than genius socially than I could ever be. I could never have the same level conversation with my parents, too much busy, tight rules, and minimal criticism allowed. I'm so thankful to have friends and a cousin to talk about these sorts of things civilly. All in all, trust the future generations.
@@gearwyvern7884 it's weird how people think generation Z are ruining the world, by doing what, TikTok dances? the majority of Z-ers are still teenagers, what can they do other than having fun, who cares if they are cringy, they're kids, let them do what they want, it's not like they're harming anyone.
Your outro animation is hypnotizing.
i was scared if your content at first because i didn't know you weren't another story time animator but your just a guy who talks about stuff with ACTUAL ANMATION like oh my god good job keep up the good work
I'm surprised he didn't bring up Marshmello. Sure his focus is on music but he's still on youtube and he's an influencer. He's a current example of what famous people with unknown identities could look like
He's not exactly labeled as a "KZheadr" though.
Still faceless
@@orphankicker3387 would be like bringing hatsuna into the video like he did at the end, not a youtuber but fits the theme
yeah, it's way past the starting point in the music industry, lots of masked dj's like daft punk, marshmello, deadmou5, and even gorillaz.

We just sometimes forget that even Andrei is semi-faceless and has barely shown his face except for in the streamy's video and he's one of the best creators *coincidence? I think not*
sums it up all. Also, I think another topic that can be interesting is those ASMR roleplay.
Nice lord of the ring reference ohh and good job!
As someone who was around for Web 1.0, seeing the majority of people in the mid-2000s suddenly start showing their faces, real names, living quarters, etc., was SUPER weird to me. This return to valuing privacy is, to me, a return to sanity.
Its always better right ? Lol
Except it isn't.
That's really interesting. This shift, to me, someone who experiences the internet around 2015, is TERRIFYING. I was never a person that got too invested into the personalities, but having faces always just made everything seem a bit safer. In the long run the faceless fame is probably the best way to go, but it's really scary haha.
@@ketsu4435 I'm kinda curious as to what you find scary about it, honestly. I find it way scarier to let the entire world know what I look like and where I live, lol. I get how showing your face makes you more relatable to the audience, but I feel like that relatability itself comes with its own pros and cons, and that's not even taking into consideration all the privacy and safety related issues with showing your face.
@@WraxTV I'm generally just a bit paranoid ig? If everyone has no face it's harder to make sure they're authentic. If you detach the personality of a person from their brand it's easy for corporations to make use of it and replicate popular trends. I know you can't have a healthy middleground because it's just not that sustainable. It's generally more irrational fear tho
I like faceless creators because we get to respect their privacy and that instead of knowing what they look like, they usually have an avatar that represents them. It's like they're portraying a character in their videos (Dream, Corpse, the many VTubers, and the OG faceless KZheadrs, H20 Delirious and HowtoBasic).
And diesel patches
Ohmwrecker? Literally known as the faceless KZheadr in a time everyone revealed their face
@@richarddavies5674 Oh yeah, him too.
@@JacobKealohi wait wait, howtobasic already face reveal tho
And Wayward Seon, she's new but I can tell she's going to be huge
The forgiveness in you when you said that it would long before we find it kind of makes me give something I don't quite recommend. .... 🤗🤗
Your video is like teaching to be Alan walker but I love how you are talking that content is not important than about their privacy
Even when JSchlatt was faceless everyone just loved his personality and just could relate with him immediately. It's all because he didn't hide his personality. The face doesn't matter as much as exposing your true personality to your viewers.
Facts
I’m impressed h20 delirious still his his face after 10 years
But when you don t have a distinctive personality, what are the options?
The same goes for xisuma
the day is now 500% better
Feels like im in a quicksand
Agreed

Tuesday is my favourite day

Your videos are my favourite and top notch andrea😊
Fain video Andrei, aștept un nou video pe care îl vei posta :)) Poți face un video despre Vlad Alexandrescu(e morgz de Romania)??
Și ce părere ai de KZhead Shorts???
I was watching a faceless KZheadr once and I showed my mom the channel, I was like 9 then, and she thought they were a CRIMINAL so she told me to stop watching them and like an idiot I did.
Wow your mom was stupid not trying to be rude
@@Juanben123 no it is rude; not everyone has parents who are proficient in technology and as long as a parents decisions don't actively harm their child there is no reason to call them stupid. have some respect ya know? your comment is the equivalent of "i'm not trying to be racist but..."
I get it. My parents still to this day will try to “debunk” people in the lime light when I talk about it. I try to tell them that I highly doubt a 69 year old criminal has the capability to properly dress as a 17 year old playing Minecraft. They just don’t understand technology like we do, assuming you grew up fully or at least partly on technology
I don't understand how you can say that very much nicer, it's a fact. She was being stupid, because everybody has the common sense to know that watching a video isn't going to kill you
😱
Once faceless KZheadrs become the norm then I'm pretty sure that will make more people be KZheadrs with faces, everyone wants to be unique and that's the cycle that will come
woah didn't think it like that.
Yeah..
Exactly, just to differentiate themselves from the crowd
I like how he talks like he is not faceless himself
Lmaooo, Andrei has shown his face a couple of times though, and the drawing is pretty much what Andrei looks like. By default channels like this that tell a story via animation are "faceless", but not really (i.e. Jaiden Animations or TheOdd1sOut), since you know what the people look like. Some are truly faceless, with no face reveal ever. I know the comment was probably just sarcastic and I went overboard with the serious reply, but yeah 😂
love your outro
I guess being faceless does protect from a lot of things but I can't imagine the anxiety of having to hide and feel like everyone knows who you are everytime you go out. Doing normal things without worrying about your identity being revealed must become harder. So in a way you're trapped, either by the public when you're open about your life or by yourself when you're a "faceless" youtuber.
“Can stardom be avoided?” “In a word, yes. Because we are Daft Punk and we don't need to show our faces to get on a magazine cover or sell shitloads of records. Because we're young. Because we're sexy. Because we remember Juan Atkins and Frankie Knuckles and all the greats who went before us and didn't get the respect, the money or the magazine covers. Because, like them, we're ordinary who happen to make thrillings tunes; characters throws up by a culture where it's she tracks impact on the dancefloor that counts, not the artists Image. Can we hide from stardom? We already have.” -Thomas Bangalter, 1997
@Jakeyjakey yep
RIP Daft Punk T^T sad that Bangalter Retired
I like youtubers but I rather not meet them becuase it is sort of weird to talk to some that you conslatle watch.
I like how people try not to give names to not offend anyone,then there is Andrei giving names of everyone that inspired him in making the video be it that he is criticising,analizing or praising them.Legend
