While the breaks didn't help, I think it didn't matter that much at Hololive subs level seeing that Moom who has been on break is still cruising at highest sub growth speed among Promise even though Bae has been streaming almost non-stop (and in fact, Moom's fastest growth period happened during another of her long break).
In IRyS's case, like
>>67809911 said, she herself said that Youtube keeps removing her subs every days and she believes the algorithm hates her now for one reason or another (could be the breaks, but I doubt it's just that). Why? God only knows (and Neal)
She said she gave up on sub growth now so that's it (whether that was or wasn't a cope is up to your interpretation)
