>>17325743>was bound to be successful That's the exact point, by all prior indications of success you would bet on Noel being the most successful out of the gen yet her gen mates, except for
Flare, were more successful. Flare was always around 1/2 the rest of her gen despite talent and being gen 3. So in the end being "Gen 3" means nothing and it wasn't the generation being "at the right place, right time", that wasn't the reason each of the talent's success happened. Gen 3 carried gen 3, not their timing. If you imagine other hololive pgen members debuting hypothetically as gen 3, they'd probably peform the same as how they are already performing today instead of having some 3rd gen buff. At most they'd get a few months more worth of subscribers from debuting earlier. In addition Korone, Fubuki, Subaru and Lamy rival gen 3 in metrics like subscribers viewers and superchats. Pretending gen 3 was a right place right time sort of deal doesn't make sense, it was carried by all of gen 3's members being talented entertainers who typically regularly stream.
