>multiple hiatuses and tummy hort stream cancellations made EN streams sparse, growing the desire for a third gen, esepecially with Sana announcing her graduation>the homos get announced instead, to the disappointment of many>unicornposting and as a counterrreaction, homobegging becomes commonplace>BVTM becomes popular, further fueling the dumpster fire with parading the schizoid behavior of some individuals on this board, creating more real or wannabe schizos and prompting outsiders to act the same on other platforms as well>SALT/Kronii drama happens, another nail in the coffin>the girls stream even less than before (remember December 2022 when for weeks only Mori, Kiara and Bae streamed consistently?), making fans turn away >Tempus 2.0 gets announced, the vast majority of fans are disappointed, mods lock the subreddit because they can't handle it>after unlocking, moderators set up a stricter automod>shitposters realize that most of the moderation on the subreddit is tied to the automod checking downvotes/reports and deleting posts over a certain threshold>downvotebombing ensues, killing the speed of the subreddit and what remains is memes and fanart of zero substance>even more people ar efed up and leaveAdvent recovered some of the fans, both on reddit and outside of it, but it was ruined immediately by ARMIS and the T-retard's predebut actions, so now it's in a death spiral with less and less people bothering to participate, even after the mods made sure the downvote bombing is less effective.
