>>81895789Speaking as a frequent viewer and subscriber, I simply had no idea about her prior to her joining VShojo. I barely knew she existed and wasn't interested in watching random Nijis. I also had almost hype about her joining, I was much more interested in people I already knew and liked.
However, after watching her, I now realize she's great. I can watch her talk for hours and hours and never get bored because she's a great storyteller and knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, plus we share similar interests. She also has an extremely calming demeanor and approaches everything by looking at the issue from different perspectives rather than simply ranting about her opinion, it's quite refreshing. I'm admittedly not as big of a fan of her gaming, but that's not a problem because she chats for hours at a time, to the point she's lost her voice from talking chatting so much. There are also downsides, for example her TTS is fucking obnoxious, but overall she's one of if not my absolute favorite VShojo member now.
If anything, the question shouldn't be "why is she so popular now?", but "why isn't she even more popular?". I genuinely believe she's one of the best streamers on Twitch right now and deserves even better numbers than she's already getting.
