>>25092506Retard. City pop shark blew up day 1. The clip of the song got like a million views in a day. She was consistently pulling >40k ccv the first few weeks on every single stream and 40k was the stuff of legendary streams at that point, closest competition was consistently at ~25k. Gura wouldn't acknowledge sub milestones because she was so far ahead of everybody from the start. Her karaoke was the biggest solo stream period for a while, only surpassed by big Hololive costume reveals and Lulu graduation pooling together all the corpo viewers. It wasn't "picking up steam", it was sealing the deal.
Salome is a huge meme in Japan currently due to the circumstances of her debut. Everybody who watches vtubers watches her just to be in the moment and then some normalfags who don't even normally watch vtubers tune in too. It helps that she doesn't stream for 8 hours every day and doesn't collab. Might as well be an old school vtuber with slightly longer form videos going viral. This exposure is not going to translate into streaming popularity in the long run but atm she is numba wan and muh bots is cope.
