>>89307882>got abandoned when Nijihomos and ENhomos debutYeah no, they were already declining heavily by that point.
They learned that EN audiences are fickle if you don't make content that gets them excited and stopped pandering for over a year before Armis debut.
If you remember that year when all the JP homos were suddenly super invested in Apex? Which most Kaigai viewers didn't like, so it filtered them, but allowed the guys to get cozy with the FPS gang, and get a JP following.
>>89308146As much as you're right, 80% of kaigai viewers leaving the JPs was by design.
Because the JPs either found them annoying, or weren't willing to create content long term to get that audience.
They still kept their biggest donators for a while. That's probably who they missed the most once Luxiem got big.
I now remember what a short time frame this was.
