>>30009582>>30009707Honestly there is truth in both sides here, haachama's viewership has declined but that's when you compare her during her most buff eras, like using her schzio arc months or her return from suspension after the chink out months as a standard.
Now putting into perspective, haachama's viewership isn't "low" because people dont like her, it's because she just refuses to do anything that would attract tourists, like rust, like holocure... Etc, she fucking played coaster tycoon after more than a year of it being actually fotm, and she probably won't ever play it again.
Now haachama wasn't really KNOWN for her gaming prowess except in very few games, so what about the content she's actually known for... When was the last time she did a haashama Sunday? When was the last time she did a haachama cooking? She did an ASMR fairly recently and the asmr itself was only 30 minutes long and it was streamed during one hell of an overlap yet she was able to get about 12k more or less, and that's in 30 minutes... Imagine if she went for a full hour, 20k was in the horizon, when was the last time she did a short shitpost on YouTube? That's her literal staple, that's what haachama is known for, yet she just suddenly stopped doing them.
I'm a firm believer that haachama's decline was because of the shittiest and worst action she's done, and that's enrolling into university, do you know what's the difference between 2020 haachama and 2022 haachama? Time, she just doesn't have the time to do anything, she can't do haachama cooking, she can't find the time to make a haachama Sunday even though there was one that was supposed to air on the 30th, she doesn't have the time to prepare her ASMRs, she doesn't have the time to shitpost or edit videos or anything like that, it's just university for most of the day and streaming whenever she could, she does stream a fair amount but that ended up with her flunking 5 classes because of absences to focus on streams, imagine if she focused even more on uni, she would be barely streaming once a week.
Its the worst decision she has ever made, and care to guess what's even worse? The fact that SHE is the one who wanted to go, SHE is the one paying her tuition fees, SHE is the one doing everything instead of purely focusing on being haachama and that pisses me off so so much, her parents aren't forcing her to go or anything like that, in fact I'd bet they told her that she SHOULDN'T go because why the fuck would she when she's already a millionaire (by American standards) with her own money AND the fact that she comes from an affluent family means she doesn't have to work another day on her life after she's done with hololive.
I don't identify as a haaton in the slightest, but I am an avid haachama watcher, and while I'm very entertained by her and her streams, seeing SO much potential for numbers get thrown down the drain hurt me as a numberfag.
