Nijisanji is a TV station (say, NBC), they hire entertainers, some are successful, some are filler and all of them give the station “the audience”.
Like TV station entertainers, the talent is fungible. Poor performers can get their show cancelled or worse, moved to the Friday afternoon slot. Others are hired for a short burst of audience before they recline.
Talent come and go all for the benefit of the station, and all benefit when the station succeeds and rises up.
Hololive is a girls band (say, Spice Girls). Their producer makes a huge upfront investment on each hire, carefully craft their image, even give them a lore (posh spice, sport spice, baby spice).
They expect each hire to be as successful as possible, to be as profitable as possible for as long as possible to make their investment back.
Looking successful is as important here as actually being. Top the charts, pack the stadium, gold records.
Nijisanji and Hololive may be comparable in the sense both are entertainment companies but they’re not comparable in the way you’re implying.
Gold medals are a great way to measure Hololive success, and that’s *without* taking away from Nijisanji’s merit.
Conversely, Nijisanji big events (Koshien, NJU, all tournaments) are a great way to measure their success and that’s *also* without taking away from Hololive’s merit.
