The thing about fame and popularity and success is that there's no way to know how it will affect you. Like, I've been around streamers and interacting with influencers and e-celebs for a while, and while all of them like to believe that because they're normal, humble and grateful people at first, that means they always will be no matter how much success they see. But the truth is, you just don't know.
For example (and I could be wrong here, I don't watch a lot of their long-form content), to me most all of the HoloEN girls are basically just used to it at this point, and they have learned to just expect success and money. They didn't have to do the work that a lot of the original JP girls did, grinding for months and years for subs, learning to do idol shit to land promotions, and having to go through the rigors of creating a personality and content and selling it to the world. So I don't get the sense that any of them actually value their fans, they just sort of expect them to be there and to make money just for being themselves.
I think you can tell that a lot of the JP girls that people joke around about being "broken", really feel like, and continue to feel like, they have to fight for their subs and really value their fans because they had to earn them one by one. They didn't just make their account and instantly have 1M subs. Does that mean they actually care about each viewer individually? No, you literally can't. It's impossible when there's that many people watching you. But there is a small sense that most of them really do want to be actually interacting and engaging with their viewers, rather than just saying "Hey thanks for the $100. Next."
