>>22032498>MainstreamFuck this. Like, fully fuck this. I want those girls to succeed to high heaven, but you know what happens when you break into the main? Big corpos that know how to milk the mainstream want their own slice, so they peddle their own shit fuelled by decades worth of knowledge on how to bait normies, so the girl you thought was "making it" gets replaced by some awful soap-opera talent.
Meanwhile all the companies that built the foundation either have to gear up to compete or get bought out entirely and all of a sudden you have media consolidation and more legal landmines across the industry so mainstream faggots can turn a profit. Look forward to supporting that one corpo who bought out exclusivity to play Sony published games, or see whole vtubers lose access to their rigger because they become an exclusive contractor.
Gura is unapologetically herself and that's all I want from her, the path to "success" you think Calli is chasing is a fake dream, hit the big number because that's what the media tells you is good before they strip all ownership and identity away from your accomplishments.
Mainstream i.e. seeing people around you "casually" enjoy something you were once passionate about but now have to put on this lethargic mask of "ironic" enjoyment because now every social gathering is full of cunts that can't embrace shit on a meaningful level if it has even the slightest chance of being considered cringe.
