>>79043650>the Selen drama killed NijiEN's growth permanentlyYes, but it's worse than that. Pomu's graduation was also a major factor - both the fact that she graduated at all, and the fact that the public announcement was less than 2 weeks after the drama started, all while everyone (correctly) assumed that Selen was suspended pending termination.
Then after Pomu's graduation, we learned why she decided to graduate, and when she made that decision.
And then Selen was terminated. (selen_drama_intensifies.gif)
And then the "negligible" paper was published.
And then the black screen happened.
In under two months, Niji EN management own-goaled themselves from "one of the top two EN Vtuber agencies on Youtube" to "the most hated EN Vtuber agency in the world." And they've only continued to decline since then, and will continue to decline until the branch closes.
