>>12757012Meh, "infuriating" is an unnecessarily strong word. An actual Kiara fan shouldn't have such a negative reaction to it, after all it's not like anything worse than just some long chicken karaokes are actually gonna come out of it, and second it's not like this is anything new that Kiara fan's shouldn't be used to by now (in fact, there's been so little milestone streams recently, let her have this one). If anyone is actually "infuriated" by this, it probably says more about them than Kiara.
I mean, sure, we can talk about milestone streams in general, as in should they actually be held, and what should be done on them. It's mostly a vestigial tradition coming from the JPs by now, many of whom came up from the dark ages before the big Holo wave, where every ten thousand or so subs grown was actually a major achievement worth celebrating. It's no surprise that Kiara, being the one EN most molded and adherent to the JP style, follows that line.
What has skewed perceptions for most EN audiences is that the absolutely unprecendented explosive growth of HoloMyth, coupled with the fact that most other Myth talents personalities fall more on the "too detached / above, to be seen as caring about something so trivial like subnumbers" side of the spectrum, has trained people to mostly disregard milestone streams, and the one that does invariably stands out, at best as tacky or cringe, at worst it's just another "hurrdurr look how desperate she is, what a numberfag!" talking point for people who already dislike her anyway, but who cares about those, fuck'em.
You COULD make the argument that there are at least some "tactical" improvements towards milestone streams to be made, for example, just holding them AFTER the fact instead of trying to make it a sub-marathon, and connected to that, not coupling a marathon with a potentially strenuous activity like singing, but meh, she probably just simply goes off by what she's used to and sees from her JP sempais, and she likes singing, and likes celebrating things on stream as they happen, so while we're on the outside all thinking more bigger about how she could do better and how it looks, she's just thinking it's a fun thing to do and nothing more nothing less.
