>>1630303If Uto is reading this, hi Uto! I see and applaud your efforts to distance yourself from one of the worst audiences possible in the chuuba community.
>Was the recline due to outside factors or her own content?I do think there was a mixture of both outside factors and her content. The chuuba fad has died down a bit in the west and is likely no longer on the exponential trajectory it was on during the pandemic in 2020. I'm not a SEAnigger so I'm not familiar with the trends or interest in chuubas in their community. But from my general observations it seems like even the most well established SEA chuubas struggle to keep themselves relevant, let alone grow. Now whether that's just how the SEA market is or if there has been a similar decline in interest like the west, I have no idea. The popularity of hololive in the west has stabilized and they've now established themselves in their own niche in the west. Because streaming has been a popular activity for the past decade or so, chuubas were able to easily integrate themselves into the scene. Granted, hololive is more popular than western chuubas for a variety of reasons I won't think about right now. I'm not familiar enough with SEA to say whether they have an established culture of streaming or not.
As for content, I think the major issue was playing games that weren't well suited to her strengths. That's already been discussed in prior threads so I won't elaborate, but even chuubas with a huge number of subs will struggle if they continuously play games that their audience doesn't want to watch. As an example, Ame will only get 4-5k viewers max if she's playing Oblivion but can easily reach 10k when playing Apex. Kiara struggles to break 2-3k when playing her shitty JRPG's, but can afford to do so because she knows how to farm for supachats.
>How could she recover?Expand her audience and think of ways to solidify a niche for herself. Clearly JP and the west are the most profitable markets. I'm not a nip either so I can't say exactly how badly her image was damaged for JOP's, but I don't see the harm in trying to reach out to them again. It'll be a process of trial and error until she finds a good balance of what sort of content appeals to which audiences, and what sort of audience in general she wants to attract.
>What will it take for her to break the SEA cage?Attracting the attention of audiences outside of SEA. Collabs with more well known western or JP chuubas, streaming during times when said audiences are awake, EN/JP clippers (who can actually translate more than a 10 second clip of noises), etc. Granted right now she likely doesn't have a huge JOP audience and may need some time to gain their trust.
At the end of the day, whatever direction she would like to take her channel is up to her. I'm just some random retard from 4chan with no experience in content creation.
