>>73531456>she appeals to an increasingly shrinking demographic of NijiEN, that being "people who just want to watch a cute and happy girl play vidya or do funny streams".This is rather disingenuous because Rosemi's been there since the very beginning, has had her little ups and downs, and it is plain to see that she doesn't really offer much outside of her persona, which a lot of vtubers have and can supplant with other stuff.
I think people that could've liked Rosemi gravitated more towards Pomu because, and yes this is bias speaking, she pretty much did everything Rosemi did but better, or towards someone completely different like Selen, or Elira.
Even in the early Lazusydia days, Rosemi wasn't particularly popular in comparison and half the fun of watching her was rooting for the underdog. Sadly for her, her creative stuff also doesn't seem to get much traction. Take Rosemi Night Live, which I think is one of the most ambitious things a vtuber has done because this really was all done fucking live - she wrote it, acted in it, coordinated it. Easily one of the most daunting projects anyone in NijiEN has done. And it sits at a measly 54k.
Recent events haven't really helped anyone in NijiEN, but I dunno what it is about Rosemi that never translated to a lot of popularity despite being well-liked and having some viral clips.
