>>6777655>In that one Suisei documentary videoLots of people don't know but this one fan made documentary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ87zuPkqMs( I think it is this one, at least) is the reason many fell into the rabbit hole for good after circling around the rim on "cute anime girl said nigger" clips for a while.
This one, that for a while ALWAYS got recommended after the "What can Suisei do in 20 seconds on Tetris", is one of the proofs that
>you can't really buy the viral quality only a true fan can produce.Funniest thing is that the clip market was pretty much cornered by the zhangs of Hololive Moments, which IIRC had more subs than many of the talents back then.
Then their glass heart took an arrow to the knee, they ragequit and all of sudden the a HUGE SUCKING VACUUM waiting to be filled by clippers from all around the world appeared.
One of the reasons for Gen 5 and EN success was the fact that, with the largest unified source of clips having disappeared and almost all of the past videos from the girls having likewise (because of copyright and the Capcom strikes on Mio)
>everybody new had to rediscover each girl right then and there, from their present achievementsWhatever they did right then and there was what counted, most of the past had been erased and all that was left was living the moment.
It is hard to describe to newcoming numberfags the hold Matsuri, Fubuki and Aqua (and to a point, Haachama) had in the early days of clipping, mostly because they were the absolute favorites of the zhangs doing the legwork of clipping and translating.
I'll try to illustrate that with one image
>pic relatedIt has the CURRENT number of subs for the top 4 girls on Bilibili.
One year has passed and each of these girls lost about half the subs they had there and yet, the GHOST of their accounts still have a fuckton of subs.
More than that: Aqua and Fubuki videos there still had, in the past 30 days, more views than Anya on Youtube and about the same as Mel.
Whoever were the favorites of the chinese got most of the chinese made clips, chinese made fan work (some very very good like Holotaker), chinese made everything.
By having zhangs rage quit out of the market every girl had their slate clean and a chance to go to the top.
Pekora to a certain extent but Suisei definitely grabbed the chance by the unmentionables and became the power houses they are today.
