>>58728918Anon, the holo reddit was NEVER an independent hub for Hololive discussion.
Even as far back as the Holocaust period (pre-meme review) that place was a 4chan colony.
See:
https://old.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/i03e9q/archive_everything_idiotsAll the lingo etc. on the sub was derived from 4chan/jp, and most of the users of that subreddit were either ex-/jp/ folks or users of both. All the prime memes of the subreddit were stuff that got generated on /jp/ and then osmosed to reddit.
Coco's Meme review caused the site to rocket in terms of popularity because EVERYONE was using it - due to it being a place where talents could see filtered EN opinions and EN meme culture.
There were even a bunch of weird 4chan style memes that made it there, and she was ultra confused by those - leading to a lot of funny threads.
Once /vt/ was established and Coco left though? There was really zero reason to stay on the sub.
Sure, Watame posts there often and sometimes Kanata does as well, but you can interact a LOT more directly with them through twitter. And naturally the funny meme atmosphere evaporated, causing the "decolonization" i.e. all the original users of the subreddit, the /jp/fags etc. all of them moved over to /vt/ over time.
Now? There's only the "typical" reddit users left. The ones that don't buy anything, that watch only clips, and just engage with the hobby in the most surface level way possible. No one's encouraging people to do their reps, funny running gags are being concernfagged to death, and JP discussion has completely died off (which is honestly a good thing considering all the retardation these fuckers believed during all the JP yabs).
There is no purpose for a hololive fan to use reddit over twitter or /vt/ nowadays.
And once HoloPlus comes out, it will pretty much end the relevance of the subreddit altogether.
