>>15597511Ayame is the literal embodiment of what seething 2view indies and other less successful corpo Vtubers think Hololive is. They always say things like:
"Hololive is just brand power. The girls don't work hard. They have everything handed to them on a platter. They are carried by a cute design/voice. Once you join Hololive you are set for life and you don't even have to try anymore."
And of course they are wrong. They are jealous. The Holos worked very hard to get where they are and they deserve all their success. The Anti's are incorrect...except for Ayame. Everything they say about Hololive is true when it comes to Ayame. She doesn't stream. She disappears for months at a time, only to reappear to rake in thousands of dollars and then disappear again. She rarely collabs with other Holos, ghosted Coco for a year, doesn't congratulate other Holos, rarely shows up even to call in. If it weren't for those few Holograph episodes, she'd be an even bigger unknown.
As long as Ayame exists, she brings all the other Holos down because it proves that you DON'T have to work hard to be successful, even though the rest of the girls do. She's the best argument against Hololive, a girl who doesn't even do the bare minimum, and yet is handed everything on a silver platter. She makes more money than any 2view or corpo Vtuber, and even more than some other Holos, like Mel or Aki, both of whom are far more deserving. She makes everyone else look bad.
