>>82930156>>82931051You guys are tripping (either that or new fags) and don't seem to realize how long ago 4 years was. Cover's income is like 10 times bigger then it was in 2021 (earliest publicly available report), back when they had the COVID buff and Myth was popping off. Compare that to early 2020 when Gura would have been applying, pre-hiatus Aqua was the pillar holding Cover up, Miko was still a shitter, and Suisei was seriously contemplating quitting. How are those signs of a big vtubing corp?
You think it's a given that Hololive was always bigger then Nijisanji but it wasn't always so. The biggest vtubers in the west were Kizuna and a few of the Nijis before Anycolor lost their minds and started going after clippers. Coco's eigo streams were just a funny meme, no one thought vtubing would seriously take off in the west.
