>>89420880Niko has a 1 million+ channel, she figured out the algorithm already. She was the only one with a predebut video, she was the only one with a carefully chosen popular meme song, and she's actually very entertaining due to her experience as a content creator. Also her model is a huge win, one of the best models/character designs in the entire vtubing sphere, some of her art have exploded in popularity which will fill up her art tag because artists are chasing clout too. She is an extremely good hire and will be among the top performing Holos especially because she's multitalented, can also sing really well. Unless she fucks up with some joke not realizing that the vtuber audience is much more prone to flippong out than regular YouTube watchers she's practically destined to succeed.
The rest aren't doing that bad either. Chihaya is sort of like Raden in the sense that she's bringing an entirely new approach into hololive with her /o/ autism, which is an unexplored area and a potential new audience. Not sure how big that audience is but they sure as fuck have a lot of money.
Vivi, if he keeps her viewers on leash, will be the Chloe of the gen and while she's gonna be average in most of her numbers, she's going to be the supacha leader. She's already doing some light gfe, she needs to keep that up.
Riona is an interesting case, she's going for a new audience as well, but she seems to be very much a beginner when it comes to creating live content, she's also very very nervous during her streams. I can see her doing reasonably well once she chills out a bit, but for now, her entertainment value isn't particularly high. She's not bad but nothing impressive. Also unfortunate rigging and the weakest character design of the gen.
Su... I like Su, she's not offensive and trying her best, but the voice dissonance is a huge issue that throws off a lot of people. Her cunny model is kind of unappealing too, so ojisans are disappointed. Also she started off with a kanji de go stream, there's literally no bigger EOP filter than that. I think her content will be very different in like half a year when she discovers what she's truly good at and then she might incline.
I love the gen and the direction cover is taking their new hires though. Seems like this time they're going for an alt idol approach. I can only hope one time will get a goth horror gen that sings Necronomidol songs, but if we got a rapper gen, it's not entirely impossible.
