The influence she has is kinda scary, i think there’s very few holos who managed to achieve this level of engagement, if any.
She was never someone strong in the mass-appeal department outside of her most popular shows, her “normal” streams usually had average or even below average viewers for hololive standards, although her constant choice of debuff games is partially to blame there, but nobody has more committed fans than her, she was the holo with the most memberships for a large part of 2020 and she eventually ended up 3rd after Gura and Pekora, but if you actually think about it, she averaged more memberships than live viewers, it’s crazy to think holos who regularly hit 20k on almost all their streams had less memberships and superchats than her.
She’s not someone who can reliably hit big numbers on her streams, but the % of fans that support her in more ways than just watching her was the highest in hololive and it’s not even close, “%” being the key point.
Looking at her current channel, that trend is still going.
I still have several holo memberships and the amount of likes she gets on her membership posts is kinda surreal compared to some of the memberships i have.
It’s easy to think this is because of the harassment but that’s not really the case, she was already the most superchatted channel in youtube before the taiwan drama and the holo with the most memberships at the time.
Now, the real question is this, what is it about her that generates this? Is it intentional?
I can’t answer it, I don’t think you can explain it, and no I don’t think it’s intentional.
Stuff like the first time she cried when a non-member complimented her for her hard work creates strong bonds, but the key is that it’s natural and feels real, seeing someone show their vulnerable side when they’re trying to hide it is infinitely more appealing than someone who uses their vulnerability as a badge of honor for easy mass-appeal.
For all intents and purposes she’s a strong, smart woman, but is she really? Actions show she is, but does that mean she’s actually strong? Or does she simply have a high threshold for pain?
Can you really call someone strong if they’re actually dying inside but choose not to show it or stop them?
She’s insecure and everyone who has watched her for a while will know that, but she doesn’t let that stop her.
Anyway, sorry for my ramblings.
