>>96752170The difference is that bottom tier girls still belong to an ecosystem, even if their individual numbers are not massive they more than make up for it keeping Hololive healthy.
The organizers, the collab partners, the girls who give a ton of support behind the scenes, they all exist at all levels of popularity in Hololive, you can rag on others for being less popular, but without some of them, BIG events might have never happened, we would lose so many pairings and more.
The homos are different, because they don't contribute at all in the same aspect, on top of generating even LESS, because you're working EXCLUSIVELY with SCs, none of the other types of merch, like the regular release of the plushies (which they don't get, because the homos don't move enough merch to warrant their production) or the multiple collaboration campaigns (which the homos don't get because they're not popular) or the sponsored streams (which they don't get because they're not popular) and the homos themselves can't support EACH OTHER, constantly ghosting big projects, and you expect them to provide the same level of support to the wider box that any Holo can?
