>>68129859I found the exact post I was thinking of, though keep in mind it's pre-Advent.
https://archive.palanq.win/vt/thread/50901484/#50908411>>80% of EN and 77% of ID streamed more than JP's median>>31% of JP and 33% of ID streamed more than EN's median>>47% of JP and 60% of EN streamed more than ID's median>So, EN had the highest median hours in Hololive streamed in May and JP had the lowest. EN also had the lowest standard deviation by a massive margin. It's not one person pulling up the mean but the whole group streaming more than the other branches this month, which simultaneously is what contributes to a high median>This is with Gura streaming only 8 hours without whom the standard deviation drops even further to 20 hours and the mean increases to 66. JP and ID also have their outliers, but Shion who streamed just over a single hour is counteracted threefold by Koyori to the point that neither the mean nor standard deviation meaningfully move with her removal; I did remove Ayame, Aqua, and Haachama who didn't stream at all>However!>By showing only mean and median and percentages, JP's advantage of having over 3 times more members than the other two branches is completely hidden>So while their average numbers are by far the worst, there are simply so many JP members that the branch appears to be active due to a large number of strong hitters>31% JP streaming more than EN's median is in fact the same number as the entire EN branch: 10. 6 JP members streamed more than both EN's max and ID's non-Kaela max>The takeaway isn't that JP is lazier than EN on average; in fact, ID with one fewer member has more raw hours streamed than EN thanks to the efforts of Kaela. Rather, EN only having 10 members amplifies the contributions every individual member makes to the whole. Just two members in EN going on break due to illness and not streaming has more visible impact as an entire gen of JP going on break at the same time>TL;DR if EN3 and possibly EN4 had been debuted by now, it would be very unlikely laziness would be remarkable in a 20 person EN branch
