>>99185735did you consider the companies might be wrong and drinking their own kool aid about what really matters or not? they seem to give very little shits about what the audience zeitgeist/meta is at and care more about who is most likely to bring in merch deals than who is actually being talked about and considered crucial core members or not.
anycolor thought selen didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things of their couple-hundred talent company but didn't seem to intuitively perceive that all EN fans knew she was the last lynchpin of the original nijiEN fanbase after luxiem totally trashed the old feeling/vibes. she was literally irreplaceable as one of the last reasons to keep watching nijiEN if you're male especially since it came on the heels of pomu leaving.
cover values gura because they can go to whatever company run by a bunch of people in their 50s-60s and say "we have the world's biggest subcribed vtuber" and they can go look it up and see beeeg nooomber and not question that and sign them on for stuff. the actual holoEN fandom basically never talks about her day to day if she isn't streaming. she literally already doesn't fucking matter. every fucking gloating faggot phasedrone should know in advance, we DO NOT FUCKING CARE if she leaves. because she already left in spirit years ago. you'd just be outing yourselves as ignorant newfags thinking we reallllly care about the big number, just like how cover relies on ignorance to carry her/their brand dealing with rando companies. she can be 10 billion trillion subs and still hardly matter at all on the ground if she still hardly ever streamed. she could be the runt of holoEN period and be considered a staple backbone member by the fans if she was always there streaming. like, kiara and bae gradually won over a lot of people that way. miko famous as she is got to where she was by just daily grinding from being nearly 2view status as a holo (not shitting you) and never letting up for years and years.
