>>100516571the clipper scene was actually-important pre-EN because they could serve as translators for JPs. cover does not allow you to just translate whole VODs for that, people tried and they got removed - so clips literally were the best option if you can't speak Japanese.
these days however once the translation value was nullified for anything EN they tried to find some reason to exist and not just be totally redundant garbage, so they became more and more clickbaity trash because the point of existence was no longer to spread appreciation for Holo but some third world riches scheme where they really value that like 45 cents a day they make off their channel.
also it feels like Western interest cratered in JP after ENs came about, either that or it simply was naturally dwarfed because it's zero vs huge learning curve to watch. so the ratio of JP clips making the rounds vs EN ones also flipped over so even the actually-useful clippers are now marginalized.
