>>7062329>Now that the pandemic is basically overNo, the left overplayed the political hand they were building up with the wuhan flu back in 2020, and like most things the left comically do it'll bite them in the ass for at least 5 years before they lie enough for people to gaslight themselves.
People are unironically religious Scientism worshipers now, and see people who disagree with them as political enemies that need to be physically removed, and that extremism is ramped up and reciporicated. This issue's not going away any time soon, because the right won't let the left dismantle what they built now that it's inconvenient for them.
The "new wave" number whatever is coming in a month, delta variant, lambda, etc. But for the sake of argument, let's assume it really is just magically going away in people's heads in like a week or something.
You will still have people freaking out about going outside, and you have shown normies the glory and horrors of being a NEET. They're not just going to undo that kind of trauma and mental transition. Chuubas are here to stay, so are 3d-tubers.
Cover might decline, but it'll only be because true and honest fans are going to go where the true and honest content is (kiki and nade are unironically set up to capture a ton of audience and cult-following if they do it right).
Also, tourists and eternal summer never leave. They only shit places up forever thinking they own it with their "places change old man" bullshit. They're actually this retarded and empty inside.
Actually ask yourself if any of the "touch grass" "take meds" "schizo" posters were ever really human, and slap yourself for considering "yes." They have no lives, and they're here forever. LARP to make up for personality is FOREVER.
As little as I like it, Cover Corp has to consider what's best for them, and I agree with you that they're making the wrong choice, but not for themselves financially. They're just killing vtubing the more sterile they make things is all, leaving the only alternatives being real indies and fucking vshitshow.
I dunno man, I'm not down for being negative about this, but I don't see an upside outside of praying that chammers livens things up or that Shark gets really based really quick and just does what she wants.
