>Army of clippersWhere clippers came from, I have no idea, but they made Hololive really accessible for EOP
>English speakingWay back Marine and Miko made it a thing to speak shitty english often enough to get people overseas interested. Even if it was unintelligible, there was a shitty effort, but an effort nevertheless. Then there was gold in Miko saying the N-word, which was a happy accident.
Then there was Korone who really got the EOP base engaged, playing games people vaguely remember from AVGN and Arino. It was so easy and simple to get them, she very often joked about how they could summon oversea viewers by just saying one "Hey guys~" and get the comments filled with EOP showing up and this encouraged them to keep showing up.
Then there's also Fubuki who did short meme videos where she'd sing or reference some english song. Something that didn't take any linguistic skills, but just a basic attempt to try referencing something EOP would recognize like Scatman.
And then there's Coco, the final bridge maker for the EOP audience in that she could actually speak english and would speak english every now and then. Translated Asacoco shorts, even before reddit review.
The real success from hololive's english division was an actual attempt by Hololive members to cultivate a English audiance. They didn't come from nowhere. They don't spontaneously multiply wherever english speakers are, they came because there was someone calling out to them.
