>>60977048People seethe about this but at the end of the day there's a lot of truth in it. Nina before nijisanji was a 2view who liked political debates and drama, vshojo has had auditions literally once and hired someone who was already a +, she wouldn't have been even considered for it. Nina was a 3-4 view who made enough money to travel several countries within less than a year of debut. She's doing better now absolutely but keep in mind that without nijisanji she wouldn't have met mousey, she sure as shit wouldn't have been considered for a position in there without nijisanji in the end.
Mysta was literally on the verge of being homeless because his family was so broke. He ended up making so much money that owed over 1/3 of a million USD in taxes.
He wouldn't have been considered for vshojo either. He was a 2view. Like it or not nijisanji is responsible for their success, I'll also be point out that kuro is doing nowhere near as well as he was in Niji with a lot of his streams already dipping below 4k and his one YouTube stream not even reaching 3k. And this is still with the debut hype behind him.
It's no different from hololive. The twins were literally 2 views whose own company ended up firing them because they were making so little money for the company. Brand recognition carries you a long way.
And before someone brings up U-San keep in mind that they stream once every blue moon and it's almost always unarchived.
I'm not a tribal fag and love the streamer not the company but it's hard to deny that brand recognition propels people
