>>16811834>>16811947This meme blew up worldwide back in 2019. What did Ichikara and their livers do? Nothing. The duck meme up, and Subaru grab the chance right away. Now she is consistently one of the top holo.
Another example was Pewdiepie showing a clips of Rin and she was visted by his fans but instead of pandering to them, she ignored them and even blocked some of them. Korone blew up because of Ekum Bukum and Doom, got raided by EOP but instead of shooing them away, she welcomed them and even tried to learn english in order to communicate with them.
Ichakara had so many chances of gaining recognition on the international stage before Hololive and yet they neglected those opportunities until Hololive dominated the vtuber sphere.
