>>17006656desu, her "numberfagging" was always blown out of proportion, because once she got that reputation, everyone hyperfocused only on her to wait until she mentions numbers to run to the threads and happily spam the three meme arrows, while other talents could mention numbers and no one cared because there wasn't a meme for them, so it's kinda a biased perception thing.
People also made fun of her for holding subcount milestone celebration streams, but I found these "complaints" always hypocritical, as either the people are newfags and don't know it's basically a JP tradition and Holos used to do them all the time, or they do know this and just play dumb to have something to anti her over.
Then there's also the negative feeback loop that clipniggers create. She can have a hundred hours of fun streams every month, but if she has only a five minute moment of weakness in that, that's what gets only clipped (brackets serious brackets) and that's all bystanders see and then they'll go "ugh, why is she such a bitch ~all the time~?".
And even if she actually was in the past a little bit more conscious of her position as the lowest-rung EN, she has noticeably mellowed out after passing the big 1M (after which fretting over numbers becomes kinda pointless) and after getting kohais she has to take care of.
Really, the only thing she actually cares about numbers-wise these days is how her songs do, and that's understandable as she spends her own money producing them and would like to see a return on investment, also it keeps her original idol dream alive and it's always nice to see your creations be appreciated. And she's also self-aware enough that she knows her song-plugging is a meme and leans into it herself with the "stream X" jokes.
