The big names get to phone it in, which is why they sit down and stream themselves watching youtube videos and make money from it. Corporate vtubers kind of skip ahead and become big names by default in Hololive for the most part. Not always, but usually, especially for any EN. They are at least guaranteed to ALWAYS have an audience no matter what.
Which is why EN girls are kind of ok with snapping at their fans and treating them like shit. They kinda already know it's not gonna affect them in any significant way, and they can just be lazy or phone it in too. Perks of being in a big corpo like hololive.
