>>96020480Fauna's graduation lost quite a bit of the #hololive watch hours (from non-bots), leading to an overall loss of engagement to all talents. Fauna simply buoyed up the #hololive algorithm push, with her consistent viewer counts. This is important to keep up the algorithm pushing them, in order to get new viewers, subscribers, and general eyes-on, which leads to revenue; without this popularity, even by association, talents will slowly stagnate, and in a positive feedback system, lose more and more viewers (or more accurately, gain fewer net views) because of losing viewers. Because of how this particular corporation's audience is so interlinked, one talent can have a huge ripple effect on other talents' success.
Hololive is willing to pay Gura her exorbitant stream fees, and the talents can afford them being subsidized by management, in order to keep these numbers from falling too far.
You'll notice that generation laggards, like Kiara, Gigi and Cici, are more susceptible to this algorithm-feedback-loop, and will thus be a better investment to safeguard via these temporary viewership boosts.
But if you're wondering why someone doing their job is doing a thing, the answer is money, and it isn't really worth considering past that. Triangle is worried that Cici isn't, or moreover soon won't be, pushed by the algorithm-divinity, and so triangle gives her Gura to get viewership, which makes the algorithm-divinity pleased, and blesses her with algorithm-boons.
Sorry for not being a bot post
