It's pretty deceptive looking at the numbers when it merges so many streamers, if someone has that chart over time?
They were definitely doing well till at least March. They amped up 3D development, but after Meifu, slowed down new members, and a series of yab for some of their rising members like Gundou, Yume, Ryuushen were already afecting numbers.
They got passed by Hololive late spring for regular streams and special ones too as Coco broke all their records.
Summer looks really buffed but that's because it was very event filled. Apex going to the moon, baseball and Kagami 3D happened among others. Culminating in September 2020 being the strongest month ever for Niji numbers if I'm seeing them right.
But this is when the manjisanji meme started, as the girls were already reclining for regular streams,l. Selejo debut doing meh compared to Holo5 being the wakeup call... for fans. Who started writing to Niji JP to wake up to or they'll be passed by Holo. As usual, the JP number bros were already very late.
It became clear that yes Nijisanji had declined with the end of October numbers, with no more buffs and even losing members.
