>>83679702The issue is that the media has killed itself so thoroughly, most people can't remember the time that it actually had good content. Vtubers like Gura filled the void of a dying entertainment industry that is now so politically correct and political biased or charged, that mainstream media won't last much longer now that boomers are dying off.
Gura may be 'partially retired' sarcastically but as long as she stays in Hololive, her brand will keep getting bigger with the new talent being brought in and new fans joining. Normies don't actually grow new industries, or maintain them since they are followers of trends and the public dub the "new thing"; it is the weeb oddly enough that drives culture because they will autiscally drop money that the normies would otherwise not spend on individuals they perceive have the talent worth the coin.
