Some of them actually were extant longtime fans beforehand but it's definitely not all of them. Kobo had specifically said she knew basically nothing about vtubers before applying so this is nothing new or surprising.
I guess m-chan simply heard her talk and went "holy fucking shit is that for real, hired" and it was not a bad decision.
