or rather it was always popular and corporate and for mass consumption
can't we just enjoy that? it's one of the things i've liked about hololive from the beginning. i've always been very avoidant of corporate, very commercialized entertainment media, and i guess vtubers have awoken some repressed poptimism in me or something. i like it because its commercialized slop that's actually novel, instead of commercialized slop that's just nostalgiabait - if that makes sense?
it's a guilty pleasure i guess.
