Which is also why mainstream western streamers/e-celebs lives and breathes drama by clout cashing and dishing out hot takes so that they can pretend to be relevant for their ever transient audience.
JP audience in the other hand, which applies to both Holo and Niji, are a lot more passionate and invested to the medium. Which is why some talents such as Mito had been constantly be able to get 20k CCV since 2018/2019. Same with Aqua/Pekora that could get 20k+ since early 2020.
The core problem for EN VTuber is that their largely, 3rd world and/or western male, lacks any standards whatsoever, especially when compared to the JP audience. This dissolves the 'culture/expectations' of the talent like a race to the bottom to get the most (albeit transient) lowest common denominator audience.
