Because of Hololive specifically, I actually started browsing /hlg/ the same day gen 5 was announced. It was totally a coincidence though. I started getting Hololive videos recommended to me on YouTube when everyone else was too, and after I figured out they were part of an agency and not indies I remembered /jp/ existed from the Kizuna Ai days so I checked it out and lo and behold /hlg/ existed. I was having fun learning the thread culture and after a couple hours gen 5 was announced. I never used /jp/ regularly back during 2018 or so, so this was my first experience posting regularly in vtuber threads.
For that reason I don't hate /jp/ like a lot of people here do. I remember them being people passionate about their hobby that actually tried to gatekeep. Not like this drama shitposting board now that obsesses over numbers. I like NijiEN a lot now so I don't post there like I used to, but I have good memories of posting there. That was back when Nousagi were easily the most cancerous western fanbase and not Chumbuds, I think people forget how bad they were on the western side of things.
