>Even stronger power levels than fubuki, Suisei, miko at the time
>Gained Chinese and local fans due to how idoly and cute she was
>Gains clips, helps push Hololive to the front yt page and one of the main driver to Hololive popularity in 2020 along with Coco
>In 2020, Aqua was second in name to Coco's popularity. Suisei, Pekora, Miko wasn't as popular that time.
>Was the first to have a sololive before Suisei and got a VN first

All of that gone because of a change of direction. Whatever it is, this is the highest level of incompetence I've ever seen. They're letting go a million dollar asset. What kind of direction is worth enough for them to let go aqua?
