Beatani does none of this and seems fine with current numbers. Youtube has no built in networking tools for indies that's why most end up migrating after a while.
Corpos have pre-existing fanbase, people paid for marketing and agency pals for boosting each other. That's one reason Hololive grew so well, as they collab between each other even if you get in from one, you end up knowing the other, get used to them, and sometimes start watching them, it stays in the family.
