Lulu and Gibara had a fairly decent western fanbase alongside the hololive growth, but that didn't spread to the rest of the niji box and it pretty much ended once both of them graduated - leaving NijiEN's fresh audience completely disconnected from the NijiJP crowd of EOPs.
Even if Rin had taken full advantage of this moment, she'd be max 5k CCV and doing decently for herself. Without other niji livers joining in, this wouldn't have amounted to anything.
Remember that Hololive's EOP domination didn't start from just one clip. There were MULTIPLE entry points, Azure Lane, FBK memes, Matsuri bandaid, Miko nigga/GTA, Korone clips, Asacoco CMs, neighbor wars, eekum bokum and so so so SOOO many of them.
Rin alone would have done fuck all for NijiEN, proven by just how little the NijiJP box cared for getting an EOP audience.
