Unfortunately, she and risu fucked that up by going sicko mode in a children's party game, driving a wedge between the branches that's mostly bridges by overlapping audiences who tend to prefer moona's autism, reine's mommy milkers, Anya's dorkiness, or even Ollie's constant self inflicted yabs.
Maybe 3d will redeem lofi, but she and the Niji indos will probably always struggle to compete with more westernized chubas in the en sphere. En chubas can pander to ironic weebs better, while unironic weebs often go for the more popular holos from en or jp. As of now, lofi, risu and anya are effectively sans niche. This is the worst position for a vtuber to be in, and the only way to get out of it is by branching out and taking risks. Otherwise nothing will change. If they're happy where they are then so be it. Nobody knows what the future may hold. But I wouldn't put money on conventional indos inclining by much over the next couple years if they decide to stay the course.
