>>90329670there is no debut buff the way people describe it anyway. Unless you're talking about their debut streams specifically, there's no reason people wouldn't want to watch the usual first army people over newbies unless the newbies capture a new audience completely. Regloss and all the niji waves after Salome should have taught you this, that the "debut buff" was just a manifestation of the bubble that vtubing was in a few years ago.
Myth had massive "debut buffs" because they released in the bubble as the first outlet for EN vtubing outside of coco and chama and clips.
HoloX had massive "debut buffs" because Hololive had grown extremely quick in the mean time, their senpai were all not streaming as much, and all the EOPs were curious about the first new gen after myth.
Seriously, Myth and HoloX and Holo numbers in general have propped up this dumb debut buff meme, nothing else.
Just look at Gen 4's debut numbers to their first month ccvs
