>>98724307They talked about their vtuber channel multiple times in the article itself, there's literally just a paragraph where they boost about their viewers on an ASMR video they uploaded. This VAllure article was their first ever one written for vice, the 2nd one just being an ad for their vtuber channel again. They were gloating about the attention they got for the article from twitter too.
Also reading any of their posts it's obvious how narcissistic they are.So yeah, I'm pretty sure this whole thing was just an attempt at growing their viewers, while getting revenge on a corpo that wronged them.
