Okay, this seems like a good time to post this. So I wanted to take a closer look at IRyS's channel to see if her slow sub growth could be traced to anything. I didn't get much in that regard, but when I eventually stopped to go watch Ame's Oblivion VOD I noticed something
>Ame's CS:GO stream VOD has significantly higher views than IRyS's stream on the same dayAnd it doesn't make much sense either. Ame only had a peak about 100 viewers higher than IRyS, and IRyS not only beat Ame in average ccv but streamed an hour longer too. But it could just be a fluke, perhaps the algo gave a boost to Ame's stream with the hype surrounding CS2. I decided to investigate a bit further, and I can only come to this conclusion
>IRyS's VODs perform worse compared to her peersLet's take a look at 3 more examples
>Mori v IRyS Deadspace Remakehttps://files.catbox.moe/dcnbmm.pngCutting off IRyS's SC reading time, Mori streamed an hour and 30 minutes longer than IRyS. But IRyS holds the advantage of 2,433 higher average ccv and an older VOD. Despite this, Mori's VOD beats IRyS by 26k views
>Mumei v IRyS Minecrafthttps://files.catbox.moe/a9fm2i.pngWhether you cut off their SC readings or not, IRyS not only streams a whole 3 hours longer than Mumei but has 2,403 higher average ccv as well, not to mention a higher peak. And yet Mumei ends up with 22k more VOD views. The only advantage Mumei could have is that her VOD is 4 days older, but IRyS's VOD has shown no signs of catching up
>Bae v IRyS Post Feshttps://files.catbox.moe/to3ve1.pngThis is the most damning one to me. Almost a perfect comparison, they started at roughly the exact same time with the exact same content. The difference in average ccv is only 452, and IRyS goes on for a whole hour longer. Even if Bae still comes out on top with the slightly higher ccv, the VOD views should still be close, right? Wrong, a 20k difference in VOD views.
I could keep going, like how IRyS's 8 hour Megaman VOD with 5,404 average ccv has yet to hit 100k, or her RE7 performance compared to others, but I don't want this post to be longer than it already is and I feel like I've made my point already. Just wanted to put some proof out there that whatever is going on with IRyS's channel extends to more than just her subs
