Remember, v-tuber boom occurred due to the pandemic and everyone being lock down, now everyone has to go out to work, study, etc and the decline was evident but not so much to hit hololive and nijisaji incomes, since they're the "Go to" for v-tuber media.
The indies tho took a big hit in the post-pandemic, and with the next economic collapse, no one will have the time to watch v-tubers or try to be a v-tuber, except for big corpos.
If Holo ESP is real or not, that's something that time will tell, i think the ESP market need rules instead of the disaster that wactor tried to do, only pandering isn't enough and putting ESP talking tubas isn't always effective in the long term, you need to get a system on how to capture an audience and keep them for a long time.
