>>25898924Sana is still the lowest-subbed Holo save for Kaela in ID3, who as a chuuba is only a month and a half old and will at current rates will pass Sana in about a month. There is still something very wrong going on here.
I think it's a negative feedback loop ever since the dead dog arc - her growth/income remains very low, and she continues not attempting to dig herself out of that hole, and the lack of activity means less clips/awareness in the audience, which keeps her low etc. The thing is, she seems very dead-set on doing the opposite of trying to get noticed/popular in a gig that is literally, a popularity contest of sorts .... in order to justify herself that it's not actually a big deal to be at the literal bottom of all of Hololive for almost a year running.
Sure, there are definitely elements to what happened with her that just aren't her fault, like her model and also being Susan'ed like twice as hard as her genmates in the beginning - however I think she's held on too long to trying to avoid facing reality of what she's doing as a cope, she just prefers to keep her head in the sand full-stop. Like, "shut up you're not allowed to judge me, you can't lose a race if you're not even running to begin with, I'm not actually trying here obviously so you suck if you want me to, I'm just here to have fun h-haha beeeg space bread :`^) "
I don't think anyone can manage to get her to try harder at this, I mean if management can't and presumably pep-talks from genmates/ENs/probably even bigshots like Fubuki (who is known to be an important counselor) .. then what the hell can we realistically do. Keep in mind that in most places where you are allowed to either praise her or say nothing, taking only positive feedback as proof of "haha see everyone loves her but you you're wrong /vt/" is a literal farce. Yeah of course her fans did something for her birthday, all like 50 of them left - it looks good when you just look at those couple positive people. I don't think most people hate her however, I mean I don't, I'm just indifferent at the end of the day - as are probably most other viewers who magically all forgot to sub to her as well over the course of a year. Actually that applies to just about fucking every single Hololive member since the community is incredibly hugboxed and policed overall.
