>>11018184>first big brand EN chuba>a>cute and funny>had pre-existing fanbase of 1 million subscribers>debuted with hololive brand when they were at their peakSen only grew her sub base 3x, while dokicoin mooned to 20x. Growth-wise, Selen mogged the shit out of Gura. And while gura's growth is stalling a bit, Nijisanji EN is slowly continuing its ascent.
With that said, the odds of Selen ever trumping 3.5 million subs are probably non-existant, as the only two vtubers to achieve it had everything going for them. Ai exploded as the iconic og. Gura exploded as the iconic face of English vtubing. They were viral phenomena.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if yellow bitch eventually started creeping up on gura in terms of view time, vod views, live viewers, supa earnings, merch sales and sponsorships. Gura owing her popularity to virality is her weakness, while Selen's strength is that she's built herself up through effort and endurance. Purple dragon is a stronger person, stronger gamer, and even a stronger streamer. If she could last 4 years as a literal who, she can outlast the blue shark once the company starts rolling out support for her in the form of tie ins and 3D.
Nijisanji EN is currently where the smart money is, just because there appears to be far more growth potential.
