>>84239069As a spinoff branch they were highly successful. Raden is the most normie and academic of all of them, and is the least trained at singing, but she's also the most popular. If you want to compare them in subs to Advent, Raden surpasses Shiori and Biboo, with Hajime and Ao almost catching up to Shiori. That's with how saturated the JP branch already is, and how DEV_IS is a a spinoff branch. In terms of ccv they're comparable, with Raden getting around 20k ccv for some streams.
That said, they all have a certain niche appeal that wasn't going to be filled by any of the existing regular talents. Raden is probably the most atypical and normie of the bunch and she is very popular and has a unique appeal that nobody else can match. She also does it while bringing on male guests to interview but still being professional and respectful, addressing it in a classy way that doesn't disrespect her fans that don't want to ever see male vtubers.
The only thing relevant to /vt/ is that besides Ririka, the rest of ReGLOSS filters EOPs.
