i want to try to be a vtuber, but i dont know Where and how can I find and create my own model, and in general, how to do this? I really want to, but I dont know how. Everyone says different things, and I dont know what to listen to.

Some vtubers that later escalated to complex models now started as pngtubers, like Laimu (who also later used a generic model before having custom made ones) or Senzawa. So basically if you wanna *be* a vtuber, you can start simple and escalate in time. Not just with an image, you could also use vroid studio: https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/best-free-vtuber-software

this tutorial can help you turn a 3d model into a vtuber rig,everything except making the model itself its not as sophisticated as the better vtuber models out there but its an ok starting point
do you know how to make 3d models?or at least do you know how to make 2d digital art?if youre not a 3d artist you might be better off starting as a pngtuber

You can commission L2D chibis for less than $100, I commissioned a Spurdo for $85 (and I never stream but that's part 2). You can find artists on twitter. I'd say there's no point to being a pngtuber if you can land this cheap of a vtuber model.

did you use automatic weights?if you did you might need to tweak the weight vertex groups in the weight paint object interaction mode you only have to do this for one side as long as the mesh is symetrical you can mirror the weight paints
another thing it might be the areas with joints to bend need to have a special topology in order to bend in a realistic way without shapekeys this image is an example but there are many ways to do this just look up hand,knee,or elbow topology
if its too complicated you can topologize it automatically using mixamo or reallusion both have plenty of tutorials on youtube as well as pipelines into how to make those rigged models track your movement using a xbox kinect
