>>482881Kiara is so fucking desperate to not be last that man it is such rich schadenfreude seeing her egotistical tryhard ass just barely keeping ahead of a sleepy chill tako who just wanted to play some Hollow Knight, who makes no efforts at all at gimmicks for subs. Keep in mind Kiara got a fucking pointless like 15k boost from that time her account got nuked, which were literally just pity subs on her re-debut gimmick. She'd have still been behind without that, more likely than not.
It can be fairly said that Kiara is simply behaving somewhat more like many holoJP do with numbers, in that quite a few of them will do those "singing until ___ subs!" streams and she's just copying their example. However, their example is a bad one IMO because Japanese youtube =/= English youtube. She doesn't have to just ape them still, when ENs had set a branch-wide precedent of not really worrying about the numbers. That's actually better, much more down to earth. I wouldn't have even minded if Gura didn't do a 2mil celebration at all just to set an example of "fuck all you numberfags" but I mean she had mogged the rest of Holo so fucking hard she was entitled to it.
If you hit a big milestone organically sure you can celebrate it, but using gimmicks to fast-forward to hit the milestones is something else. No Holo should really think numbers are that fucking important in the context of greater Youtube - ENs participate in a space where top dogs have fucking tens of millions of subs, none of them are jack shit in the English youtube world. For Japanese, the very top Japanese channels have what like 7-8 mil subs, so to them like "wow 500k!!!" is a lot. That however doesn't carry over at all for the English speaking world. It's fucking nothing. The only reason to highlight it as some big upcoming goal is ~specifically in the context of other Holos~ here aka it's to be a competitive bitch.
