>>31859267It's just objectively true that collabs are low effort content.
A lot of the EN vtuber fanbase is also familiar with Twitch and really hates how so many Twitch streamers transitioned from entertaining viewers to just forming cliques to play the same shitty party games like The Forest and Among Us every day. Those streams got extremely popular on Twitch due to how clippable they are but it's a creativity black hole once you get into that mindset of chasing clips/interactions with bigger streamers instead of cultivating your own community.
I feel so blessed that Pomu is my oshi because she never fills her schedule with collab filler. Even when she has lots of collabs she almost always has a solo stream on the same day to ensure she doesn't get complacent.
