>>82725190Overall, Ironmouse, at least for regular VTubers, she's basically a success story, has been incorporated to multiple events with even HoloEN and JP and when that trend of the "VTubers that inspire me" there were a lot of Ironmouse's mentions. Also in the terms you said, as said she had corporate connections, and NOT theoretical ability to make a random 2view career, because that example would be LordAethelstan. He was a dude that send his shot to her by making a song, and the dude continued to get shilled and commissioned until becoming a 4view streamer
and eventually date her best friend ATT., and was featured in an "old series" of which she would go into random 2view streamers to shill them.

Tho, it did bury the opportunities of people thinking Nijisanji being an opportunity. And she has some incredible connections for one indie.
Shylily, Filian and Zentreya are runner ups for what it's worth. I don't think they are as influential as those past two, but they have proved the power someone without the top company in the industry back up can do. The last two also help a lot of 2-3views to be spotted. A dark horse would be Projekt Melody, she was insanely influential for lewdvtubbing, and it's basically the reason Ironmouse and VShojo are a thing, without her, I don't know how the EN Indie community would have been.
