>>93468328As someone that bought all of his merch in the first year. Uproar was especially spoiled in the beginning and before the IPO.
The persona in his rap songs, especially that second one, makes it sound like he fucking hates his fans but then in the end he only courts yumes for his streaming audience.
I feel like since the start, he networked and collabed with the wrong people and didn’t really solidify a strong partnership aside from Kobo, and even that’s pretty much gone now. Even Oga has collabed with Polka now. (I’m not saying he should collab with a girl from his past or anything, but I feel like he might have been banking on reconnecting with more prolific personalities ie nijis like he did in the past and then it never happened) I think it was really the strength of the character that he played in the past that made it so popular, that’s also gone.
All this is to say that they’re all doomed from the start because of the handling of the whole brand. Idk. This went off from what I meant to say, that they had it really good with merch and everything in the first year that a lot of soft skills related to audience engagement and entertainment got neglected.
