Reine's an EN vtuber being marketed as ID. Her normal stream hours are early mornings for NA viewers and too late at night for EU viewers. Nevertheless, she has a loyal following, which is something she's seemingly content with. She's not exactly struggling for money and she's effectively tard wrangled ID viewers into Valorant streams and away from her regular, obscure indie story game-related content. Her chronic health issues may be a front for other things happening in her life, which makes me think she's just doing this vtuber shit just because she likes it.
The homo group collab being the reason she's not as popular is absolutely retarded. She's actively trying to control her fanbase size, presumably not to cannibalize from other struggling HoloID. Has no one noticed that she's not in the biggest game collabs with other JP like Minecraft, Rust or even Ark? Her last interaction with her JP senpai was ages ago and the only JP kouhai she's interacted with are Lui and maybe laplus.
