>>10522921I usually don't post about numbers since it does feel like playing manager, but since you mentioned it on stream, I'll make an exception even if it's a topic I understand is usually better avoided. Of course feel free to disregard.
From having watched many indies from their debut for almost 2 years, including all the ones /here/, the pattern of getting a big number on debut and then stabilizing at a portion of it, is the norm on youtube.
Africat/kitanya had 400+ people on debut, then 200 average first weeks and stabilized around 70~100
Beatani had like 200~300 people on debut, 150 first weeks, then stabilized around 50~80
This pattern can apply to >90% of YT solo indies with debuts.
The normal trend for those is a slow nonstop decline, since by default there is no discoverability and people are bound to naturally move on for diverse reasons. Corpos vtubers have both a marketing management and collabs within agency to boost each other. But indies, aside from that one in a million lucky clip getting famous, rely heavily on stuff like collabs
and raids to have new potential audience exposed to them.
It's totally fine wanting to stay small of course, but that's already a given since you mentioned wanting to be just here the only possible newcomers would be someone new to the board randomly checking up the thread, so there is no chance of the chat ever getting too fast.
