There are so good that come from her discords and their retarded Nazi reign in that her chat isn't a complete fucking mess and how well managed it is, compared it to say someone like Amelia's whose chat is still a total garbage dump. If Coco had half of Uto's chat's irongrip and Nazi control most of the zhang bots wouldn't even have lasted a quarter of the time during the shitstorm. I've seen Uto's mods wipe out entire chunks of seanigs spam when they get off their leashes in time faster than you could even notice.
The big problem was that they enabled her too much during that time when she could and should went hard. The same time when Nabi was coming in and bringing a even larger wave of new people to her but instead they kept letting her know it's okay or that they don't mind if she doesn't stream. Basically it was gatekeeping but it went around and fucked her growth worse than it could have helped. You can see her subcount too since now she's struggling to even get 1k per stream when she was average 5-10k per during her high period and now she's at a total standstill and there isn't anyway for her to go up except double down on what she should have been doing before; make schedules, keep the schedules, center her contain around the newer games, have a focused zatsudon stream like she did before, and go harder on her karaoke and member streams. It's still going to be a hard uphill battle but it's the best option she has now if she really wants to grow. Not saying she have to stream everyday but at least 2 streams every week would be better than 1 stream a month.
