A lot of people say that vtubing is expensive are only thinking of commissioned Live2D. There are ways to get a free quality Live2D model or comparable.
VRoid studio allows you to build your own 3D vtuber for free. You can also find free premade 3D VRoids on Booth/Gumroad. These can also be imported into VRChat and used for MMD with some conversion.
PNGTubing/GIFTubing which is free/low cost for very a very high quality option with basic animations.
All of these have really inexpensive upgrades. For under $50 on Booth you can get a great Live2D models.
You can also get VRChat base models for $30+ on Booth that while not as customizable for the base as VRoid are still very customizable.
So anyone responding with "VTubing is expensive" is not informed about Vtubing. Vtubing has been free and cheap for a while now.
Time to go find something you like and enjoy vtubing!

There is SO MUCH MORE out there. This is barely scratching the surface.
All of the VRChat models also have entire clothing sets you can get, accessories, textures, etc. The amount of stuff you can do cheaply for customized VRChat/VRoid is amazing.
