Someone who uses facial capture technology to control an animated avatar on YT/Twitch.

Oh, I figured that would become a thing when the filters started getting really good. I didn't realize it already had a name. It's kind of risky if you don't own the tech though. If you grow an audience using an avatar that is generated by someone else's server you can lose it at any moment. You don't own that image, and can't even replicate it on your own.

I don't think any of the avatar programs are cloud/server subscription services. It's possible to make one but pretty much every existing program to do this is run locally and doesn't require subscriptions. One of the most flexible ones, Unreal Engine, is free and there's tons of characters you could use with it. There's not much danger in losing access to the avatar.

Twitch bans on the other hand...
