>>26024965I didn't have any doubt regarding her situation until yesterday, as I thought all of her audience were just tourists and old Nijifans that are happy to see that finally someone really entertaining is on their company (Kuzuha and Touya are too, but they're a bit weird)+ Holofans coming from Pekora/Marine/Suisei's audience(I did notice a few of them JOPs in the chat after all), with absolutely not a single suspicious graph such as what the NijiCN had shown plenty of times already during big streams in the past( these same graphs who aren't anymore present on their streams even though nothing has changed since then, mmmmmh).
However after today, I started doubting her, just think about it for a moment:
*Highest peak(s) of viewers a few streams after her debut, something that has never happened before among the Vtubers
*Hype that is barely present outside of her own stream and company (she did get on the TopTweets a few times+ top fanarts on Pixiv thanks to her original debut, her being a larping ojou-sama normie, and her reaching 1M at an outstanding pace, but none of these times were actually incredible enough that would warrant her having such a high number of viewers that fast). I mean everyone knows how popular 2434 is popular on Twitter compared to Hololive(mainly thanks to their dedicated Topic), and besides their biggest events, none of these Twitter users were actually watching the livestreams of their livers until Salome arrived(well ever after that this didn't change a damn thing for the lots of them, but her and only her especially got a huge boost from Twitter)
*She gets a huge amount of viewers on Friday and Saturday, and during the 5 other days when some of the JOPs are sleeping, she gets a tad bit less amount of viewers than during the two days I mentioned (since it's weekdays and the tourists work).
*What I believe to be the most important thing, the fact that around 95k(more or less depending on the days) arrive out of nowhere, with more people arriving when she tweets about it and less when she doesn't, but when she stops streaming, nearly none of these 95kpeople actually go to other streams(5k of them at the most), and what's the most surprising is that it's neither other livers or indies who get these people, but actually Holomembers (thus the theory about her stealing Pekora and Marine's audience during their break).
*Since last week when Pekora had twitted about her finally coming back, her numbers have been a bit weird, for instance today, during the night from Monday to Tuesday (when some of her fans are supposed to be sleeping already for work), she got a much higher peak than the night before( 88k) and the night before that one(78k)and a stunningly low number(72k) on a Friday, when she's supposed to have the highest amount that day(yes I know it was an English learning stream and most of the JOPs hate that as seen and mentioned on 5ch and 2ch) however I do not think it would warrant such a high cut on her usual numbers. What's worse is that her overall numbers have reclined a bit since that day, and people would eventually cope about true people actually leaving, with most of the supposed bots only on stream.
*Some anons keep mentioning about her high amount of Superchat, however for a new shining star that breaks (almost) every record, that isn't that much impressive..
