>>40857961>it's only not saturated when thousands of newfags flood the shit out of the island mogolian culture board because of clippingNo my cute little retard, vtubers becoming normalfag is still far off, anime itself has only gotten normalfag barely recently because of streaming services (which aren't dying just because people don't live rent due in their homes 24/7). Not only are there huge markets that have not efficiently been tapped into like Europe and South America but every other thing that would give vtubers more viewers has been happening. According to you there's simply 0 growth post COVID yet that's not at all what has happened, it's almost like people just kept watching streamers in their free time, huh, weird, imagine sticking to hobbies you like...
>>40858917Your concept of "oshi" is wrong, what you wrote only applies to GFE shit, at best, which isn't a thing in Nijisanji and plenty of Hololive fans watch multiple girls within Hololive despite having a favorite. Oshi doesn't express exclusivity, it quite literally just means someone you're especially cheering for (to succeed); do no conflate idol culture with gachikoi.
You can argue that we're past the adoption curve and have plateau'd and that's fine, but that doesn't mean that they can't just come up with new shit to prolong the lifecyle of anime girl avatars (like every other phone launch, that's essentially what they're doing when they launch a new gen) or milk it successfully for another decade (idols took a decade to die and there's still nonetheless a few, ironically they're going into vtubing or podcasts). A few million people watching vtubers is nothing, there's plenty of potential to grow still especially since we're nowhere near Japan levels despite EN companies having global reach. As for indies or small corpos they have to win their costumers just like Nijisanji EN had to, it's no one's fault if they fail or succeed and plenty have succeeded and will keep succeeding (even if they later go corpo).
