I mean yeah, Megumi Nakajima was already fairly popular before Gumi Megpoid came out. Some people even gave her the snarky nickname Rankaloid.

Like >>39719190 said, part of the appeal of the vocaloid fandom is it's highly decentralized nature. No one person or entity meaningfully fe facto controls the fandom. It'd be a bit disheartening because vocaloids magically turning into real people would make it a lot easier for Crypton, Internet Co. etc. to restore order. I'd imagine P's would still write music for them but the companies would act as a sort of "gatekeeper".

I'd continue listening if the vocaloids being magically turned into people didn't magically also erase all their previous songs. Honestly this would make the cryptonloid fandom eat shit as it would make Magical Mirai and hologram concerts a lot harder but Gumi would probably quit and go work for another much more competent company. Most of the smaller 'loids would lose out a lot too. 'loids that get used in Let's Plays a lot (like Kiritan, Yukari, Maki etc.) might end up full-time live streamers.
