>>76746699The actual answer is simple and the exact same thing pretty much every other vtuber company does.
>corpo announces new blood>builds a ton of hype (or throws them out into the wild if they're niji lol)>people subscribe before/after the first stream>they're thinking "hey i'll check 'em out on debut/someday" and "subscribing's free">they pop up in collabs inevitably>if they catch your interest you toggle notifications on>if they don't you just forget you're even subscribed until the next collabThus you now have a scenario where a ton of people are just subscribed for subscribings sake so when something like the SEREN SHOKKU hits that causes a boycott or otherwise a massively negative reputation, the people unsub from everyone including people they might not have ever watched more than twice. Thus everyone loses regardless of internal affiliations or relation to the drama due to the group-wide boycott, and now the algorithm will continue to enforce the downwards spiral trend, meaning that any attempts at getting new subscribers to fill the void of people who're still endlessly learning about this specific incident and unsubscribing is about as successful as an attempt to fill a black hole with cement.
If anything the fact that everyones become a 3view/low 4view at best combined with Scarle losing and continuing to lose subs is proof that nijifans still haven't forgotten, which if you ask me is strictly a good thing and something I don't think anyone could have actually predicted. Last time I saw a stupid decision that actually got serious lasting lashback from fans was Gamebu which has been on the decline for 4 and a half years now. It's good to see that the EOPs of this dumb fad can carry on that torch.
