>>10290303It certainly depends on the impact they will ultimately have. If people find value in leaving for Twitch because of perceived improvements to VShojo in the future, or from new clips of them on YouTube, that is a real possibility. But more importantly, in terms of a number thread, saying they will only be tougher to deal with in the future over numbers, isn’t really a bold claim.
>The only thing they could really do would be mass recruiting and take people out of the overall talent poolIt seems like they are grabbing talent IMO, which may stem from people wanting to keep their current designs. If they grab some of the better streamers (ones who can more easily become more popular), that’s a problem.
I’m just trying to make honest predictions here. And I do think VShojo cannot be ruled out as a competitor for the Western VTuber market, even in terms of a number thread. I mean we have arguments over whether NijiEN is doing well in numbers, so it can be assumed that a future VShojo is more of a possibility by comparison.
