>>66203414This will sound ignorant as fuck, but I'm just gonna speak my mind because I don't care.
I think people would care a lot more about the newer waves if they managed to come across as interesting at all. Yes, it is true that Nijisanji has a lot of people and you can typically find at least one person who has a streaming style you like, but it starts to feel very low quality when you see multiple waves so frequently and every single one of the new members is just a complete normalfag.
Yeah I'm gonna be even more blunt here and just say it straight up: The new waves aren't interesting. People praise those first 20 or so members because a lot of them were genuinely quality and they hit specific niches that people liked. Hell, to me, I still don't think there was anyone worth watching in the entire branch outside of Pomu and Elira. But I'm also not a girl, so maybe the guys were pretty great and I just never knew. The new waves, however? I don't think they did shit for anyone. They're all boring people. They're extremely normal people who became vtubers. That can fly in Japan where there's a lot of people into vtubers, but that's not gonna fly in the west/rest of the world where people just want to watch a select few.
They completely over saturated their own English branch with the most dull people imaginable. I don't care if it's mean or just outrageous to say, but yeah, of course people aren't gonna give a shit about branches 6-9. They don't stick out. I'm not gonna go out of my way to shit on them publicly outside of a mongolian basketweaving forum because that's a waste of time, but I'm also not gonna pretend like they're worth watching.
And as an extra fuck you, their game taste is garbage. Get some fucking taste, goddamn.
