>>77320583Since you're asking I might as well put my thoughts here. I'm always a bit surprised by these posts since I was usually the only one with maybe another anon who posted about Aki in /hlgg/, even during dead hours
I do wish for more solo streams, but I'm ok with where Aki is now. There are dozens of streamers who pull 1K- viewers in the VCR circle so, Aki doesn't need to worry about being big enough when doing stuff with them, they just want to hang out and she's happy enough to join. I like Hololive and Aki has nice collabs and friends there, but there is this passive pressure to get bigger there that comes from them being idols. VCR is more casual so it's nice, some of the fans are huge dramafags though, I'm relieved and also a bit anxious Aki might be targeted by them eventually, thankfully she hasn't had any issue so far
Regarding the bar streams, she's said a few times singing damages her throat so she's been trying to limit it, even when she was still doing the bar streams. You could go 'but streaming for 7 hours in a row doesn't?' and I do think she's telling the truth, her voice often sounded rough for days at times when she was trying to do utawakus. I'd prefer not to see the return of Aki taking a break every other week or go for months at a time like in 2021 where she took a throat surgery because it got that bad.
I do want to see some solo let's plays and crepe collabs though, they've been a long time coming now
