Holo clips took time to go viral and draw in English speakers which gave them a decent EN fan base before EN.
EN then debuted at the peak of worldwide YouTube and stream watching and Gura had a viral moment from her debut.
She also was already very well known and EN was a completely new market full of people wondering what vtubers are.
Even with all of that it still took time for people to come in and see what was going on, Gura didn’t somehow surpass her debut numbers in the next couple streams and it wasn’t until later that her subs started really taking off.
Yet Salome, in an established market from a company that has had plenty of debuts, somehow has people watching and subbing to her that don’t watch or sub to anyone else all from debut.
No build up, no hype, just 100% from the start.
