>>5278055>>5278150Still on the impact of HoloEN: the biggest contribution was to open a new adjacent market but without lots of overlap with the JP market.
Here is a HoloEN (minus Gura and Calli) comparison with JP 3rd generation (minus Flare). This is **NOT** to compare them head to head but to show that
1) other than the breakout success of Gura (for being a fucking monster in growth) and Calli (for being a "multidisciplinary" streamer with a music side at very least as successful as her streaming side) HoloEN experienced a very immediate growth in subs only to "smooth" to what the most successful JP were achieving.
Then there is Flare in that generation too: quality and profitability over quantity. She's not a meme nor panders to EOP but whatever she's selling her fan base is buying.
