TL;DR
Kaguya quietly graduated bcs she thought she was being paid too little, her management thought she wasn't doing enough work (based on Pmaru's content, I have agree with the mangers).
Kizuna Ai gets an actual gamer girl to skinwalk the avatar for YT streams, while the original continues to make general YT slop, but the whole thing grinds down to a halt and the character is on an indefinite hiatus
Hololive has perfected the format and starts mass producing Vtubers who are run like Japanese idols, with the added bonus of not aging and not having an existence outside of the content to spark drama, proving once again that women are more likeable under an oppressive moral code that limits what they say and do
Project Melody makes EN Vtubers mainstream bcs war is how westerners learn geography and porn is how they discover new interests
Vshojo is created as an American-style peer of Hololive and takes in the larger existing indies that wouldn't pass Hololive EN's filter
Drama still happens, an EN/JP hologirl named Kiryu Coco mentions Taiwan while Cover Corp is trying to build up a presence in communist-occupied China. China proceeds to shidd, piss, and cry, sends hate raids, etc. Cover Corp cucks out and graduates Coco (she is later reincarnated as Kson), only to shudder the CN branch entirely
As tools for vtubing become more available, weeaboos get into the hobby, creating the first big wave of EN Vtubers, influencer agencies start astroturfing fake indies by setting up ethots with vtubing assets and botting views to farm simpbucks. Dedicated clipper channels arise to make the hobby even worse
Staples and internal rules of the genre are established, vtubing is separated into 2 main paradigms: big corpos and a legion of indies of assorted size. Indies go through similar stages of adoption as cam streaming has before it. Women experience the fastest growth but most plateau soon after bcs the largest ones have the best looking assets to thirst-bait and are better at being parasocial, saturating the market. Men, lacking the appeal of female attention, produce higher quality content and/or skinwalk better made female models.
Eilen's clique is still active (Commy and Natsumi stream on Twitch)
If you want to dip your toe into small indies check out /wvt/ and /asp/ or just search for vtubers on Twitch/YT
