>>15538890I do genuinely worry about AkiRose over this coming year, while she has maintained a very solid core she is nearly moribund in terms of growth and new viewers. Whereas the rest of the 'bottom tier' have shrunk to low teens in thousands in monthly growth, Aki was hitting 6k.
To put how much she has ground to a halt in perspective, after the whole clip saga revival for her, she was at one point 30k subs ahead of Mel. More recently, they both crossed the 500k threshold on the exact. same. day.
Now? Aki is behind Mel by nearly 50k and it grows with each passing week. We know thanks to that clip as well that Aki is lowkey about it but she does track numbers and I can't imagine her slowdown has gone unnoticed by her.
Oh and then the cherry on top of this shit sundae? She has had throat issues almost exactly like Marine's but guess who is the one every is hearing about and guess who is the one almost no one seems to know is struggling and hurting in the shadows?
