>>59289292Subscribers ARE YOUR fanbase. It's not just people passing by but those who are generally interested in you and are more likely to buy your merch, go to concerts, superchat you etc. Why do you think many youtubers are always pushing you to "like and subscribe" every video? Why do v-tubers have SUB marathon instead of CCV marathon?
CCV aren't bad either, but it is too influenced by other things like branch pool, timezones, stream subject and you need to include VODs in those calculations for a better picture. Also someone CCV viewing doesn't mean they're there for you and can be surfing between waiting rooms or there cause their oshi is around, it's their favorite game, etc. That's why you don't see high CCV translate to high sub counts; it's not how things work and this applies outside of Hololive.
