>>2404622>and not Amerlia or Cali or Kiara,>AmeilaHad a really scuffed debut, took a while for her to really find a style she was comfortable with. Also her surreal sense of humor makes her less accessible to a general audience than Gura, and she's generally less tolerant of bullshit in her chat.
>CaliHer growth was almost as explosive as Gura's, and considering the combination of bad timezone for english streams and the fact that Rap is a very niche and divisive genre of music, I'd say she's doing incredibly well.
>KiaraAwful voice, awful design, awful community, attacks other people, has no idea how to act in most social situations, I could go on and on but it'd be a waste of my time.
>InaPersonality isn't conducive to streaming, is low energy where most people want to watch high energy streamers. Streams tend to be very slow paced. Accent could be a turn off for some people (though it's a plus for others so it's hard to say if that's a true debuff). Seems to do everything in her power to debuff herself (has a schedule but constantly cancels, never reads super chats, doesn't push for milestones, collabs with unpopular girls like the IDs)
Gura exploded because she was accessible, has a strong understanding of mainstream internet humor, had a strong debut, and generally knows how to appeal to her audience. The fact that she actually has a really good singing voice and (unlike a certain treerat) isn't afraid to showcase it is also a huge boon in her favor.
Speaking of which, Risu really did have the perfect opportunity to explode in popularity just like Gura did, but she lacked the substance and wasn't willing to lean on her talents in order to maintain her new viewerbase. People like to shit on Gura for being a meme, but I think the difference in her growth and Risu's indicates that there's a lot more to her than just memes.
