>>32745835>ignores the fact that there have been thousands of streams without dudes in them and certain subjects (like irl relationships etc) are conspicuously and carefully avoided>most JPs never collab with males period vs EN-naive people pretending like it's a common thing. go on, show me the last time there was a big starsJP/holoJP collab with like 8 people in it. I'll be waiting. even if you find one, now show me a time when there were 3+ of them back to back within 3 weeks. I'll be waiting, forever, because that's never happened.>parasocials, goslings etc crop up as a result of the girls dominating the space and the overall stream atmosphere being cute girl entertainers. not idols per se, they're actually modern geishas FYI.It's not accident at all, Cover is just covering its ass (maybe that's why it's called that) pretending they don't know exactly what they're doing. They do, or at least JP headquarters does. EN trying to copy Nijisanji spamming male collabs is only showing how actually-fucking-dumb its management is (as if Council didn't make that clear hiring Sana and people with actually-0 talents or entertainment skills like Bae and miscasting her horribly). For all its tryhard nature with a bunch of its girls streaming twice as much as HoloENs and all the male collab spam, has NijiEN caught up to Holo? No. Are its strategies trying to get normalfags working? No, actually the opposite seeing how bad Iluna is doing.
Luxiem is the big success story but it had not much to do with pre-existing NijiEN setup at all and everything to do with Eastern women getting interested even though they weren't the target audience. Cover going for the Western brotuber audience is not gonna produce those results, plain and simple. Sacrificing the most-unique, hardest-to-reproduce part (the GFE, the cute girls experience) of already-declining EN branch to shill a bad idea is also an outright tactical and strategic error plain and simple.
