The bleed-off from HoloEN's absolute laziness and general unwillingness to put even the minimum of effort has been towards VShojo, and it reflects in the numbers there.
>but VShojo are whoresYes, and some people, myself included, won't watch them for that. But for the casual viewer, on the other hand? And for the kind of delusional gachi who can get attached to any girl who reads his donations? Vshojo is absolutely a contender, as are adjacent Twitch vtubers. The big tragedy of vtubing in 2022 isn't Vox milking Chinese fujos for all their wallets are worth - this does not affect Hololive in the long run. It's that HoloEN's laziness and Cover's incompetence in scouting and nepotism in hiring have ceded a major chunk of the market to fucking Nyanners and her gang of grifters.
