>>18286507she started simping silver shortly after vshojo's debut, it was her "in" to the vshojo crowd back when vei averaged 1 - 1.5k viewers
shortly after that nyanners noticed her and they became friends, which prompted vei to immediately drop silver to latch on to the highest viewership vshojo
she started collabing with nyanners frequently around that time, which accelerated her growth, and got herself invited to many vshojo collabs until she eventually joined the corpo herself
she then continued collabing with nyanners often until her viewership became right on par with nyanners, at which point the collab frequency started dwindling down
keep in mind that this is also around the exact same time as she started trying to grift kiara, the lowest viewership and most "vulnerable" holoEN at the time, repeating the pattern of how she got close to the vshojo crowd as an outsider by manipulating silvervale into thinking they were friends
when that collab opportunity fell through, all of a sudden you stopped hearing all at once how much vei liked kiara and how they were besties in the making, and she was never mentionned again since the door was closed on this particular grifting opportunity
fast forward through the summer and vei, now on par with mouse and nyanners in terms of viewers, barely ever collabed with nyanners anymore despite them being besties
there was also that one time vei and silver started playing "it takes two" to prove that they were friends, but never played it again as vei ghosted silver after one shot at the game since she reaped no benefits from that collab
she's always been a grifter manipulating people for her own advancement, and it now culminated with her getting her claws on one of twitch's golden boys
don't think for one second that vei started dating soda for any other reason than his viewer count, she has a proven history of e-dating bigger streamers for clout after all and there is no way you could ever convince anyone that she found pokelawl genuinely attractive, nor is soda's pasty, skinny nerdy ass attractive in any other capacity than his 20k+ average viewers
I'd wager that the reason a lot of the girls don't really hang out with her anymore is because her grifting ways have just become too obvious
