>>48978189I doubt it doesn't affect her at all but the effect might not be big enough for her to mind since she still has many revenue sources.
But more viewers=more donations
>>48978424Yeah, it's really fucked up.
HoloEN was given the international market on a silver platter. The whole world.
Hololive JP only has japan but most of the world speaks english.
USA,canada,NZ,australia,UK, even in most of europe some SEA and some latin america english is a very common second language.
HoloEN kicked off a new boom for vtubers and Hololive JP managed to capitalize on that momentum to keep on growing.
HoloEN basically had the entire monopoly for a year and ended up wasting all their momentum and potential.
The homo collabs aren't the only reason for Ame's deline, or the branch's decline but it's a significant factor and one that was entirely within their control.
HoloEN not releasing members in time has really fucked up the momentum they had and being stuck to 10 members limits what they can do a lot.
NijiEN might be a shit show but it shows that having a big roster can let members do more shit together and it shows how releasing members on a schedule can help too.
This is not new for Hololive, Hololive JP speedrun gen 0-1-2-gamers-3 and only slowed down then with 4 and beyond.
They had the recipe, all they had to do was replicate it on EN but they chose to let the branch stagnate instead.
Lack of support, no organized events, poor care of members and constant breaks.
Going from 20k-30k to 2k-3k isn't all the result of the homo collabs, there's a lot going on.
But if one of her streams is at 3k she could be at meaybe 6k or 10k if she had not gone down the homo shill path. Who knows.
But the number would certainly be higher.
I think Mumei and Fauna and Ina being around the 10k average while Ame is now around at 3K along with Bae and Mori really shows this point.
