the “hobby” of watching vtubers, particularly for english viewers, was already a very niche one. like almost mlp levels of social embarrassment and not ever really that enjoyable. it really took off in 2020 because covid and people stuck at home watching bubbly fun anime girls do fun things with real time interactions. hololive is the biggest source of that kind of entertainment, and for whatever reason their english branch hates what they do and it makes all of the EN streams really uncomfortable and unejoyable to watch. there are some indies and shit that actually so like it and do put out some fun streams, but they’re a total minority. i hate to say it but unless hololive hires a miracle EN 3 the english vtuber trend is probably done.
