>>97765730You really underestimate how much of a paradigm shift Coco was for the vtubing community. Before Asacoco, many Hololive fans at the time only really had one or two channels they followed and either didn't know or care about the others.
Coco became a source of centralized information for all of Hololive, and did so at a time slot that didn't really compete with anyone.
This lead to an explosion of growth for all of Hololive, as viewers began to see it as it's own universe rather than a collection of different streamers.

Losing her was one of Hololive's greatest tragedies.
