Hololive and Nijisanji overtook the old guard for a reason, in fact even without those two the classic model was dying.
You talk about people losing interest in the current vtubers, but what is your answer for people losing interest in the vtubers you shill for? People outright stopped watching Siro, Ai, Himehina. Eilene's group slowly dissolved and these days Natsume Moe has to go as low as being a drama channel because she couldn't ever get serious about her content and was always a light version of le edgy western anime girl
The corporations of that era were even more scummy than what Ichikara and Cover are and they kissed even more the ass of larger corporations than those two (its how they got the anime)
And what did that era have to show? Lame ass comedic 3D skits that were most of the times just shittier standup? Pre-recorded heavily edited Minecraft streams? "le ASMR but there is an edgy twist hahahaha"
And what do you have to show now?
Shit that doesn't need a vtuber to show emotions and reactions.

Anon, I think you are the one is both a newfag and the one who is also coping here.
The trend won't revert, it happened for a reason. Literally all classic vtubers who transitioned to a new era are better off now than they were back then.
