Always relevant Pasta:
okay lets work backwards. and im not gonna just refer to times she LITERALLY talks about numbers, but times where she shows that she thinks she is most deserving of "the spotlight"
rather than celebrate hinotori reaching 3 mil, she randomly posts it at 2.9mil to try and pump it up to 3.
https://twitter.com/takanashikiara/status/1440029878976270340?s=20 sure this alone is very minor but it comes with a history.
just before that she was griping and complaining about umisea, barely a single word congratulating them but like 5 minutes about how holobirds should get the same treatment, meanwhile more than half of hololive doesn't get this treatment. again not recognizing that others who worked harder and longer don't get support either, but somehow thinking she deserves it, when we all know the reason why umisea is a thing is because Cover wants to market as much stuff as they can with gura and aqua is another very popular talent for marketability (look at how many cross promotions she gets) marine and ina mostly fall in to the theme but also round out the sound and both are good conversationalists so they keep communication good. mostly it's about the marketability of two of the most popular talents. not about it being "international" or anything like that. rather than recognize the gap in marketability. rather than be excited for her friends gura, ina, and marine. instead all she has to say about it is she wants what they got.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0xxtf0hgek1 year anniversary stream, besides constantly bursting out over gura's song: there's an often overlooked moment when they go on the stage to do SSS at the end. everyone else lines up to the sides, because they know ame is the "center" she always has been since before debut. meanwhile kiara bee-lines straight for the center mic, you don't hear ame say it, but you hear kiara's response when shes asked to move off to another spot. setting aside that ame has been classified as the center, and she put in all the work and money to set up the collab: she is holding the camera and CLEARLY needs to stand in the middle to get the good angle.

she whined about the managers making council "more powerful" as if anyone freaking cares, goes on a minute long rant about it, when it's clear none of the others REALLY care. kinda bashing her kouhai's characters before they even get started.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXBo3H9JFHgWhen she dropped sparks she was obviously trying to prove something to cover or her manager, I can't find a clip of it, and I don't remember what stream it was, but she made a big deal of how "please stream it a lot, it's important". idk if she wanted to do a live or what, but its obvious she wanted some kinda deal or something and needed to prove she had enough "pull". whatever it was she was really stressing that she needed a lot of views/plays on this one. again not seeming to be focused on making good content, or relying on natural growth, but instead basically begging fans to pump up her numbers. after months of "stream heart challenger".
before that it was knocking Ina for getting 1 mil first, before that it was complaining about how stuff was getting lower views after she moved back to austria, before that it was getting broken up about finally passing ina, before that it was being upset about "being the last to 500k" (meanwhile towa and aki were like sub 300k)
again, she's getting BETTER but she still has problems she needs to address before i'm gonna consider her "over it"
