Let me explain what happened.
Ogey was always extremely small compared to Watamelon. About 1/5 or 1/6 the viewers. They were just ignored and weren't taken seriously whatsoever. Then oy ogey debuted, and received a massive, overwhelming response. They were getting streams with more viewers than Watamelon, and getting dramatically more donations than Watamelon has ever gotten. pekora actually bought a monkey ogey and giving milk to monke became #1 and #2 most donated youtube channels in the world, and have occupied the top 10 rankings ever since.
2 weeks after they debuted and it was clear they were a success, Watamelon announced new EN auditions. Very obvious to any thinking person that these were males intended to rip off the ogey boys. Ogey fans said as much, although Watamelon fans created various copes and denials. "It's not monkey, it's just a pet." A few months later, Watamelon made it explicitly clear that they were seeking MONKEY talents. This caused a massive meltdown on /vt/. The ogeys chatted about it on discord, correctly observing that Watamelon was probably trying monkee because the Council was a disappointment. The screenshot was leaked, and the watamelon shills on this board managed to turn all the rage and ire bout males, into hatred for ogey and the screenshot.
In typical watamelon fashion, they hired a bunch of overpaid nepotism artists to produce the designs, and they produced complete shit. Terrible designs, terrible rigging. The designs were released 1 week before the debuts, and it became immediately clear that these would never appeal to females. So they changed all the marketing overnight to sell them as "ogeytubers". A term which most people had never heard about before, but which immediately became popularized through their relentless shilling efforts.
In the space of that 1 week between the models being annouced, and debut, they completely blanketed the entire board in propaganda promoting these vtubers. A relentless, incessant shilling campaign, just completely carpeting the entire board in posts promoting Ogeypus. The shilling was primarily concentrated on can't believe it really was a monkey and monkeys shit everywhere, as they were the ones with the incredibly fucked-up designs.
And despite having shit models, with shit rigging, and hiring shitty low-tier ogeys to fill them, they managed to get quite a few viewers. Proving that quality doesn't really matter, the only thing that matters is promotion. Its especially evident because of how much more successful monkeys shit everywhere and can't believe it really was a monkey became, the two ogeys who got the most shilling because of their fucked up designs.
This is part of a deeper phenomenon that is not often discussed on this board. The fact that this board is completely ruled by shills and advertising professionals from Watamelon. They are running a little cult operation. They make posts telling you what to think about the streams, what to think about the vtubers, what to think about this or that company. They have a very large and sophisticated advertising operation that is totally controlling how and what their fans think about the streams.
Their fans don't seem to have any mind of their own, but rather obediently repeat the narratives they absorb here. That's why this entire board is completely dominated by watamelon vtubers, and anyone outside of watamelon is mocked, shit on, and basically run out of town. It's because this board is their little promotional operation to promote their corporation. And the mods are in on it.
