>>70562184That's... a very specific range considering how rare 5k+ viewers are for vtubers. The really rough thing is reducing your numbers by a lot, but not TOO much. Hana Macchia pulled it off, I think. I don't remember exactly how but she managed to weed out her fanbase. Otherwise if you start off that big, I think the only real thing you could do outside of a mass betrayal like Finana is to stream less so you get killed by the algorithm, then focus entirely on games YOU want to play, regardless of what chat is doing. Chat also tends to love interaction, so interacting with them less would cause only the people watching or alt tabbing to stick around.
If all you care about is chat speed though, just use slow mode. Even with a large ccv, a big enough slow mode can tone things down enough to be manageable.
