Success is meeting your objectives. If one want to make a good song and he does so, but that song never really takes of does that mean that he failed? No, he was succesful in his endevors. He would fail only if he also wanted to said song to be popular.
To come from general to particular, many (most?) girls in Hololive don't care primarly or secondarly to be popular. And Gura is really one of the last to care about numbers. I mean she is probably happy to be loved as much as she is, which is of course side effect of numbers, but she does not care about source of it, you get what I mean?
