>>68105863If your theory is that she would be hugely higher if she hadn't made certain extreme unicorns think she's damaged goods, it's a little weird how well she's doing even after doing it. And if your counterargument to that is that she's so new, it still holds even if you just look at members that debuted in 2023.
I'm not sure where you draw the line on a huge amount, but for the sake of argument let's presume around a 50% drop, that feels like the bare minimum to qualify as a huge amount. At that level, she'd be beating all but the top 3 outright, and then we can take into account that she had no special events in January while the top 3 are Marine with a bonus 60k from from her 3m subscriber stream and aftertalk, FWMC with a bonus 20k from an outfit reveal and Fuwawa's birthday stream, and Kanta with a bonus 27k from her 3d live and aftertalk. All told that puts her and FWMC neck and neck for first. It's actually impressive how well you've pinned yourself between three options: Either she was potentially the best holo in the company by superchats and fumbled it badly and still ended up pretty good, she was potentially in the top 5 but her yab wasn't actually that bad and she still ended up pretty good, or she was only pretty good but the yab didn't affect her much at all, so she's still pretty good.
>>68113283Yeah, it's hard to get really good data, but
https://holochatstats.info/members has the best I've found so far. Interestingly, to tie it back to the original post, Ririka's membership growth is consistently at least the 2nd fastest in the company, by that data. In November she was the top, October and Decmber she got beat by respectively Raden and Kanade's membership opening months, and January she got beat by Kanade's second month after opening. It makes sense though, she has SCs off relatively often when she either has a backlog to read or won't have time to read them afterwards, and so people drop a ton of gift subs in lieu of superchats.
