>>13907431The one statistic Youtube can't really lie about is superchat earnings. They can unsubscribe thousands of people for no reason, remove "spam viewers" at will, but if someone gives money to a Youtuber it HAS to show up in chat and the scrapers WILL see it.

This is absolute dominance on a scale hard to explain. It is only the fact that Youtube earns tons of money from advertising that allows Youtube to so thoroughly fuck with every other metric of Hololive they possibly can. I am lowballing it when I say the true subscriber counts of every Hololive channel would be double what they are now, that the live viewership for any given Hololive stream is quadruple what Youtube claims it is, and so on. Hololive is the biggest going concern on the entire Youtube platform, and it isn't even close. Groups 2 through 9 could band together and it still wouldn't be close. Youtube and Cover are both uneasily pretending this isn't the case but all you have to do to see that it's true is look at the numbers.
