The actual reason, however, that almost the entirety of Global's denizens and regular posters (and many holofags in general since they all frequented Global) all just left for the tower is just that the 4chan hack happened and the site was organically discovered/talked about elsewhere and so they 'temporarily' re-established Global and all the generals over there during 4chan being down but then simply never bothered to come back again due to hving no incentive via the fact that the tower has 'kill shitposters on site' moderation (meaning all the usual schizos can never get a foothold and have to remain here complaining about tower indefinitely) and due to /vt/ not having gotten any less trashy of a board in their absence. Also the tower has some features that just mog this site in terms of the posting speed, various UIs to choose from and the ability to soundpost with mp4s that have sound without needing adjacent scripts on your browser to run them amongst other things.
Basically, the tower is just 'Hololive Global + some generals' without tourist shitposters or schizos and the holofags are all there just because of the hack and having no user incentive to come back here.
