>>1072540652022 introduced some problematic elements like homo EN and niji EN being prominent in that year (and pretty much only that year) but for the most part, it was fine
First 3D events and offcollabs, ER and holocure, trailing end of holo MC stuff
Unity was strong af especially against these new enemies (niji EN at first, homos later)
Numbers were also pretty good until very late 2022, and grim era was really more of an early 2023 pre-Advent thing, interspersed with 3D showcases and holofes
Late 2024 and 2025 are pretty much only great if you're a Justice fag or fan of some other holo that's doing good (like Biboo and Mori), but for the rest it's been ok at best and "my oshi's gone I'm gonna anti holo" at worst
Supposedly things are changing behind the scenes in holo for the better, and we're seeing some signs of that like the first non-Mori/branch EN concerts and talk about improving management, but none of this outweighs the multiple losses and 0 new blood this past year
Numbers-specific, we've also had a gigantic cull that we haven't really full recovered from, along with an epidemic of engine bots that are much harder to reason about than older wave/hat/spike bots, and all combined with previous shit and vt dying leads to this thread becoming only relevant for schizos these days
