>>41572504Most good streamers only last a couple of years. Viewers tend to watch less and less of the same content no matter the type of content.
This is usually more visible with RL streamers, ie, a single game streamer will move to other games from time to time. Then will do more RL stuff like cooking or just taking a walk in another country to gather a few new views via discovery in that field.
Managed Vtubers lose the RL spontanous potential, who the fuck wants IRL? as well as most of the react due to Corp. rules.
In the end viewers like me,pick one or two and drop the others, there''s only so much of my time I can spend watching them as well as RL streamers.
I watch some Subaru and Mio for opposing reasons as well as listening to random or old Pikamee Zastudans because I use them as ASMRs that help me go to sleep the weekend. Plus 2 more RL streamers.
I'm capped! I'm about to drop Subaru''s non-gaming streams as well as most group sessions.
TLDR: There's only so much market, Corpo rules are stricter.
People home in on their favorite, dismissing the others.
Globally in HOLOLIVE:There is still growth, although I suspect some of it is cannibalism(that''s normal) for those who are gaining massive amounts, however you can see the company much like the Jewish economy spiral. Pekora sucks in a new viewer? Good, the next time she mention she beat Korone in a game, she''s exposing her to be watched.
