>>6113764They need clipfags and viraling to even stand a chance.
Holo got big on things like Miko's nigga incident back in like 2019, which was basically the epitome of /v/ type humor and would never EVER have been officially made/condoned by Cover itself or any Western viral marketer actually-paid to try to come up with shit that'll catch fire. Fubuki Scatman, Korone's Eekum Bokum etc also rode things onward - things nobody really would have known would blow up, but they did.
I think Pika got pretty big based just on clips, in particular this Mario one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRFPsFu4P-s has almost half a mil views now - more than all but two, TWO than any of Pikamee's actual VODs in existence on her channel.
Funny tweets don't make for clip material. They need to be like that on-stream - either unbelievably cute like Korone/Fubuki viraling, or just funny like Pikamee, Pekora and Korone (again). Part of the Holo viral cuteness is that Engrish just sounds either adorable or hilarious (or some combination of them) from certain people and English natives don't have that buff of having an adorable accent. So it makes sense to go for humor although I think they'll get there eventually with cuteness. Gura has lots of random clips just because her voice/behaviors are so goddamn cute sometimes, so it is possible to get that kind of vibe speaking English although I think humor is more reliable. At least in Phase I can see Pippa can eventually get something viral but I dunno about the others from there.
One thing I am real, real fucking sick of is people going "cute dork!!!" at even the fucking most plain-jane boring ass English chubbas, whether they're a 2view, 200view or 2000view etc. Did you fucks ever consider that if you take any girl off the street who is even OK with anime/Japanese culture, forbid her from being bitchy annoying ragging about politics, her boyfriend or gossiping about random shit, that what you're left with is going to be someone generally-tolerable -even if they normally aren't-? Most every chuuba is going to be fucking "cute dork" material when they're operating in an environment where they're purposefully trying not to polarize because it's career suicide. They'd have to go out of their way to not give that kind of air just by default. They need something more than that if they don't have ideal voices/designs (which few if any in these small outfits have), and many don't fucking have that something-more, not enough at least to not just get carried to fame anyway by association like any Holo/Niji will. That is all.
