What numberfags care about is the story that numbers tell.
By studying the numbers, how they grow or how their sink, you can pierce the inner mechanics of not only the streaming companies but also the effectiveness of their talents and marketing teams.
For example, If you have 5 /asp/ indies that start at the same time and one blows up, you will check that indie out, cause there must be something special about her. One viewer, one thousand viewers, it doesn't matter. The important part is how numbers behave relative to each other in equal conditions.
People check out anything Hololive throws because they stand out above the other similar companies' numbers. There must be something going on and people want to know what.
Fear of numbers is nothing but fear of knowledge. Some people don't want to know how the vtuber sausages are made, and that's fine. For some understanding how easy it is to manipulate people into clicking a stream, into watching boring content, into falling in love, would ruin the ability to watch vtubers.
Not me. I want to know, I must know. Hence, I numberfag.
