>>52087792Kronii unfortunately had a situation where a few of her early adopters and whales were (to put it mildly) depraved freaks who should not be trusted. So for the longest time she kept a lot of barriers up until most of those types got filtered out, which left her with a fanbase that didn't choose her primarily for personal intimacy in her content. She still has affection for her fanbase, but the bad apples made it tougher for her to fully trust them as a collective.
Mumei's weirdos, on the other hand, just sent her money and rambled on about their spirit quests to become "a true Moomknight" in her superchats and stuff. So it was easier for her to let down those barriers, which created a positive feedback loop where the kind of people who got invested in Mumei's content were the ones reassuring her and supporting her, which in turn made the parasocial relationship more open and relaxed.
