I know these are just bait threads by seething liggers or whatever but really, this obsession with her pre holo time has to stop. The amount of glaze and rose tinted glasses is unreal. I've been going through them, watched all the Mass Effect VODS, Half Life, Harry Potter, the crafting streams, and the Hitman ones. You can even watch her old streams for yourself if you don't believe me.
Being an indie on Twitch is fucking miserable. Since there's only like a dozen people chatting, of course she has to read every single one of them, and since she doesn't get to choose her chat, it's mostly unfunny and stupid shit by people trying to groom her that she has to pretend is interesting or make content out of somehow. Every half hour or so is interrupted by a raid by some fucking one view, it's accompanied by an obnoxious music playing and graphic onscreen, and she has to stop everything and welcome and thank the single digit raiders because life as an indie vtuber is about trying to collect every scrap you can.
Everything she did then, she does now in Hololive but better. She can yap more consistently because she doesn't have to stop and read every comment because she's afraid of losing a viewer.
