Any predictions about how the break has affected her numbers?
I'm guessing her next stream will peak at 65 viewers. It's her first stream in a while, which should bring in a lot of viewers, but it's also a zatsu stream, which is a debuff. The Baba stream will probably peak at 70 viewers. It's a new game, which is good for numbers. It's also her first time playing a puzzle game, so people will be interested in seeing her 71 IQ in action. It won't be quite as popular as Postal (85 viewer peak) as it doesn't have the shock/meme factor. The Yakuza stream might have the lowest numbers we've seen. Her after-break buff will have expired by then, and her viewers won't care about missing it as there are so many streams scheduled. The viewer count might drop as low as 20-25. She was smart by scheduling streams for three days in a row, but I think playing Yakuza this early is a mistake. She should be doing something fresh for all three streams. Maybe the endurance stream could be swapped with the Yakuza stream.
The collab with Eira is also not optimal. There's no reason to collab with the same person twice in a row, unless the person you're collabing with has a much bigger fanbase than you. Beatani has much larger audience than Eira, so she is basically doing a charity collab soon after her break, which is the worst possible time for it. This would be the perfect time to use up the Pippa collab. I'm expecting the collab with Eira to have 50 viewers. Even 100+ viewers could be possible if the collab was with Pippa instead.
Overall, I don't think the break itself has decreased her numbers by much. She has been engaging with her audience during the break, and the audience has also been very active on its own. She should be more worried about the other /here/ chuubas stealing her viewers. Kiki, in particular, is very dangerous. She has been copying many of Beatani's characteristics and actions that made her successful, and she intentionally changed her debut date so she could debut before Beatani ended her break. Beatani responded well by scheduling more streams, but it won't be enough in the long run. Right now, her strongest advantage is her access to the Phase Connect audience via Pippa. I've been wondering why she hasn't done the collab yet. It could be possible that Pippa's manager has allowed her to collab with Beatani only once. If that's true, Beatani is smart by waiting. Pippa is growing fast, so it's better to let her grow as big as possible before the collab.
