Hololive shills want to maintain their monopoly. So they create an entire false paradigm that bigger number = better vtuber. They say that because hololive talents have the highest CCV, they are obviously the best vtubers. This is the argument they make, without any irony.
It's not true at all. Actually you will find that many lower view vtubers are as good, or better, than higher view vtubers. Within a corporation, and within a generation, you might find that better talents have better numbers. But that also has to do with when they stream, how they structure their memberships, what kind of streams they choose.....etc. It's not a straight measure.
I've been in the hololive thread. Literally every other post is about numbers. Most of their threads are remarking on numbers in some way or another. I've also been in the Niji thread, they very rarely discuss numbers, only remarking if someone hit a particularly high, or particularly low amount of viewers on a stream. The talents in Niji are all numberfags though, and are often worrying about their viewer totals.
I think that numbers are a box that prevents you from exploring other vtubers. Seriously, check out the smaller corporations, or even some indies. Don't be discouraged by their lower numbers, just enjoy it for yourself.
