>>33620723>Same with Ollie, she was collabing with males from the very start, all through the period when she was popular, and her decline isn't really related to that.It absolutely is, not because she collab with men but because she went against the tide of what the “HoloBox” expects from their streamers and got swept.
Ollie might be one of the few ID that didn’t benefit significantly from ID3 debuts and Holofes.
The way Holos work is simple: there are some 120k people on the JP daily audience that have their preferences but which sometimes check the other girl streams as well, if they catch their attention.
Take Anya: she caught the attention of the JP crowd and she’ll be getting numbers above her reach for as long as she continues doing activities that interest them. That’s the way minor Holos grow.
Ollie tried the hard way around, go create a whole audience of non Holo and mostly non vtuber watchers. She leaned on the anituber crowd, “nu chess” crowd and for as long as she was their new toy, it seemed to work
>until they moved to the new toy in town, Ironmouseand she was left without her out of the box and without the inside the box audience.
It was definitely related to her choice of collabs, with the only difference being that it was not the fact there were boys, but that there were no Holo girls.
It happened to Matsuri as well, and go Towa too until StartEND gave her just enough momentum and clout to be fully inducted to the “FPS box”.
