Corporate exposure gives them the advantage out of the gate but that doesn't mean there aren't aren't gaps between corporate vtubers either. Look at the number gaps between Pekora and Mel. Comparing Corpos to Indies is comparing Mcdonald's to some Local Diner. Even if the food is better it's way out in bumfuck where nobody can find it.
