>>31746026I think Shondo's dedication is part of it. This time last year before Shondo had her real model they were about neck and neck. Shondo puts in a lot of effort though, well-thought out streams, consistent schedules, and generally very active. She also consistently improves on her flaws, does new things and strives to be a good entertainer above all else.
Lily streams at all different hours lately the middle of the night for the USA, often disappears completely for days to weeks at a time, and typically does the same sort of thing lately. (ASMR, reaction, chatting, a little retro gaming) Her streams are comfy and familiar, but she doesn't even try to be consistent and never really does anything interesting or new.
Shondo also has been getting a lot of clips lately from a channel called Shondopilled Individuals, they've been clipping her since the start of the year every single day but the last month or two they've blown up and all daily clips get 20k+ views. Shondo has inclined about 200 viewers since this happened.
