>>8682780When people say their numbers will decrease as debut hype fades, it's usually not a diss or a doompost, it's just reality. It's something we've observed time and time again with debuts from big corpos and something repeated so newfags don't expect Kronii to still get 30k in a month. Of course if she did, that would be insane, but it's very unlikely.
On the other hand, inclining is extremely hard. Most vtubers just stabilize and keep the same numbers for years (like Roboco, a lot of Nijis) and some decline (like Matsuri) and very few incline (Miko, Suisei, Subaru this year and Kuzuha from the latter half of 2020 till now).
