>>65615379I'm probably gonna get either ignored or called a schizo, but I do want to address your comment with facts and my thoughts on the matter.
It's not quite that but I do understand it might feel like that. Reality is this second half of the year she's only streamed like 4 single player games (mario wonder, mario rpg, MGS and pikmin). The rest has been mostly chillas' kusoges or kusoge-like games, and collabs. The amount of collabs has increased a lot (A LOT) this year and since after those streams there's no zatsudan it feels a little bit more distant.
Something I've been noticing recently is that she's not streaming her PoV when doing tournament practice, which feels a lot like she's not streaming (and although she's there, it's not the same). For the splatoon tournament she streamed only once I think and didn't stream her PoV during the actual tournament. She's been practicing for mario kart's tournament and while a lot of other holos has been streaming it, she's not.
There's an obvious decrease in streaming hours this year (mostly since the second half) but a lot of things have happened:
>family misfortune hitting her hard (family passing, sickness, etc)>absurd increment of collabs which means no zatsudan afterwards and makes it feel more like "I'm watching a show" rather than "I'm watching my oshi stream and interacting with her".>increment of official appearances in the main channel and such, which means more time at studio, less time to stream.She's acknowledged this.
>increment of idol shit endeavors: she's pushing for her sololive and is trying really hard. She's been doing a lot of music related work at studio this year.>tryharding too much for tournaments to the point she's not streaming her PoV (this is honestly something that's been bothering me).>increment in hololive official fan events (holo meet attendance with suisei).>a lot of traveling (to visit her mom, family trips, with suisei to Singapore, to LA, etc).>Real life stuff that might be taking time off her that I don't want to mention (nothing bad at all, it's just that I don't know if I should because I don't remember how much is member's content).>Sport fes preparations off stream.>General health issues.So a lot has been happening. I honestly hope she goes back and solo stream more. Collabs are nice but they are just the cherry on top of the cake, if you don't have a cake then there's no point in the cherry. The official stuff is something I've seen japanese 35Ps a little bothered by lately too and I hope she streams herself practicing for tournaments. The whole point of the tournament is to spend time with your oshi watching her getting stronger. If she doesn't then I'd rather she doesn't participate at all.
