>>76133791Yeah, or used to be.
Gen 2 was probably the gen that made Hololive big before the exodus of global viewers back then. Everyone in gen 2 was popular, even Choco-sensei, in fact, Choco-sensei was one of the biggest talent in hololive because of her ASMR.
Then youtube changed and became really sensitive that nerfed Choco's growth.
Subaru was the weakest member on Gen 2 back then, now she's arguably the biggest (on par with Aqua).
Compared to other gen back then, Gen 0 didnt exist yet, they called them 3D talents, and aside from Sora, they were not big, Miko was considered a failed project, that they redebut her again as a Hololive Member. Suisei was not big and not part of hololive either.
Gen 1, only FBK that was big, and I guess Matsuri too.
Gen 3 was the first gen Cover pushed to be an actual gen, they debut in batch and had lot of interaction between genmates. They were on par with Gen 2, but still got weakest members on the group unlike gen 2.
