>>24177845Israeli here, and I've seen such projects that were entirely aimed at the Israeli crowd before.
Basically, there are three scenarios
1. Focus Hebrew - channel growth will plateau eventually then viewers will start to dwindle to peanuts over time, management is probably convinced they can get more Israelis to watch, but the truth is they've already exhausted any gain from their target audience.
The best-case scenario is that numbers keep increasing, but 90%+ of the viewers will be minors, awesome for an Israeli Youtuber that lives on ads, but 0 income for donation-based streamers since minors can't provide steady funds.
2. Focus English - As you said, they'll be fighting the evergrowing competition, until a better group overtakes the timezone they're trying to pander to, if they were professionals in entertaining they'd be able to put up a fight, but as it stands, they're just struggling newbies who fight to make even their regular streams enjoyable.
3.Mixed - they'll have the small Israeli support, but they'll lose most of the Israeli underaged crowd I was talking about, with the option to maybe still slowly get English viewers, it's the most stable option for them, even though it's far from perfect, but it'll take much more work from the streamers, and they'll need to learn how to properly stream in 2 languages, while constantly facing backlash from both sides about how it's annoying to not understand them sometimes.
They lose no matter what they do, and it seems like everyone except from Aviel was able to see that way before they debuted, I still don't understand if he thought a target audience big enough to make all of this eventually profitable was going to magically spring out of the ground.
