>>54209458It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
>never stream in EU hours>force audiences to stay up till 2am to watch streams>WHY DON'T EUROPEANS EVER SHOW UP??>randomly decide to stream in the middle of EU hours a single time>nobody shows up because you've trained them to never expect it>WHY DON'T EUROPEANS EVER SHOW UP??>put a lone member in EU times with ten different debuffs and zero collab partners in her timezone>WHY DON'T EUROPEANS EVER SHOW UP??The audience is there, you just need to invest and build it. But of course, a lot of americans love nothing more than to feel smug about themselves, so we get posts like yours.
There are other issues too. For example, merch can be a bitch to get in Europe. This has nothing to do with the audience, but the simple fact that shipping is more complicated because of individual countries, different tax systems, laws, etc.
(And not to shit on Kiara, but she's not everyone's cup of tea. Give me a vtuber more in the vein of Fauna or Gura in EU hours and I'll show up and SC her every stream.)
