>>69460372I will say, you're making a good point, but there's something important that should be added to this logic.
The other anons are right about how HOLOS can take long breaks and be generally fine. And Niji COULD'VE done that, but there's a problem:
Holos are able to take breaks because of the Holobox effect. Knowing that, even if your oshi is gone for a while, other girls are there to pick up the slack. That's an important part of the Holobox, it's keeping people around even during their main girl's absences. They're all very different in terms of streaming content, but the throughline that the Holobox gives them means that it's fine to jump from one to another while waiting for your main girl.
NijiEN fucked this up TREMENDOUSLY. They're all so different from each other, and have such an insanely broken down box, that they can't benefit from the Box Effect anymore. The only slightly surviving throughline that they had for Holobox-style stuff (the Hololite Box that was existing with Pomu, Selen, Rosemi, Maria, etc) got shattered by the one-two punches of Pomu's graduation, and Selen's termination.
The whole box shattered. And now they won't really have a strong safety net for breaks.
