Apex definitely played a part me thinks, that game can be a buff or debuff to popularity depending on the streamer and Aruran wasn't exactly good at the time, which tends to filter people, not to mention that since Astel and Izuru were also training for the tournament a lot of the people that came at the time probably flocked to them instead, especially to Astel,
It's pretty sad tho if I'm being honest, Aruran's english streams are really fun and his Cultural Exchange/English Learning ones in particular are really good, I dare say they are the best English Learning streams in all of Holopro, they are really interesting and fun and even pretty educational (I definitely learned a few things) and the fact that he still makes them and does so pretty consistenly shows that he really wants to conect with his overseas audience, so it's pretty sad that they seem to have become less popular
