Gura used to have 45-60k, Ame 30k, Ina 20k, Mori and Kiara 15k.
I loved watching them just to see that viewer number grow, it was orgasmic.
Comparing it to measly JP numbers and laughing at them. Waving the flag of EN with American pride.
It was kino.
But there was always one thing the EN girls couldn’t match - super chat. But I had the membership crutch, at least.
But then the YouTube bug hit, at first, I coped with it. Everyone lost about 50%, right?
But no. The JP big 3: pekora marine Aqua. They didn’t recline. Not nearly as quickly as EN did.
Gura to 20k
Ame to 10k
Ina to 12k
Mori to 10k
Kiara to 5k
I just couldn’t anymore. What I once watched with glee and ecstasy was now a husk of itself. A relic of the past. A flash in a pan.
I only watch Pekora, Marine, and Gura now. And I only watch Gura for the first ten minutes to see if she’ll ever return to her former glory. When she was my oshi. But I leave after her numbers are pitiful again
