>>11518953>The indies might have higher quality buns, toppings, and patties, but they will never have the sales and reach of Hololive.That isn't really an accurate comparison. VTubers are, ultimately, content creators. Most people don't watch VTubers for their models. Heck, most people don't even watch VTubers for 3D concerts - they watch 3D concerts because their oshis attend those. L2D or 3D models are essentially the icing, not the cake. Ultimately, the most important part is how entertaining the chuubas are (which is more about their personalities, their interactions, and their ability to form a connection with their fans).
Thus, your comparison doesn't work. The buns, toppings and patties are all important part of the burger. If we are talking about L2D / 3D models, those are more like the package - sure, a beautiful package might help to attract people to some extent, but if the content is shit, most people wouldn't give the product their time of day. That's why most VTuber indies don't have the reach of Cover, because their content aren't anything particularly more interesting than Hololive's. On the other hand, even when packaged in some basic paper or plastic bags, if the food is good, the IP will remain popular. Idk if it was intentional or they just lucked out, but Cover made the good choice not to delve too hard into tech and neglect the more important part of the matter (i.e: looking for entertaining chuuba).
