>>102824583>but we are definitely approaching a period of stagnancy.Tbhdesu I'd hesitate it call it "stagnancy", it's more like normalization, it took multiple pre-2020 Holos multiple years to reach 1 Million, but people saw Myth reach 1 million+ within a year treated that like it's the standard rather an outlier during a boom period
>>102827802>Streaming itself isn't cutting it anymoreYeah, you need to a have gimmick or actively push people to sub to you in the current era
If look at all the 2023-on ward gens (Advent, Regloss, Justice, Flowglow) only 2 of them have 1 million subs
You have Raden, who's "brainrot" shorts blew the fuck up in the normalfag-sphere of Japan, to the extent she won a fucking children's entertainment award because they were so popular with kids there
Then you've got FuwaMoco who AGRESSIVELY pushed their audience to sub to them, an almost comical level. They had a sub counter on nearly every stream and abused the hell out of quirk in 2023 where the #Shorts stream format would oddly get your streams pushed into more people's algo
You basically HAVE to do more than just casually stream if you want to grow quickly, music used to work as well but it's been nerfed pretty hard due to a dozens of different algo changes that's fucked over vtuber music
