/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Honestly the future is not looking bright for Hololive English.
They are understaffed and put all their eggs on the male basked and it didn't pay off.
Their numbers are low, they debuffed the girls and fractured their audience.
And Cover is already hiring for their next gen.
EN staff and resources and time that would have been spent getting GEN3 was wasted on the male gens instead.
Ironically Cover is now suffering from its own success, the girls are outright refusing to stream because they don't have to. They already have everything they want. The numbers, the fans, the views, the money.
NijEN is still millions of subs and many thousand viewers behind HoloEN but they've managed to carve themselves a space as the second big company and their Hololive's rival.
It wouldn't take much for them to catch up, it could happen more quickly than people think. One good day, one viral event, or just HoloEN's audience reaching a breaking point.
One of the interesting side effects from having males around HoloEN is that it loses its edge over Nijisanji.
If Tempus had not debuted NijiEN would NEVER catch up to HoloEN because NijiEN has the male debuff.
Most people just want girls, so even if HoloEN sucks and stops streaming their fans won't go to NijiEN.
But what happens if HoloEN has the same debuff? Suddenly the playing field is even.
What stops HoloEN fans from looking into NijiEN if they both have guys?
HoloEN fans have been very patient but even that patience will have its limit. If the girls keep being stagnant and inactive they could lead people to try other stuff.
HoloEN fans are casuals, they will not suddenly go searching for small corpo or indies for a similar experience to HoloEN, but they will go to the closest competition.

HoloEN absolutely needs gen 3, the sooner the better, it needs it right now. It needs to offer its fans something to watch before they start trying out the competition.
Honestly it doesn't matter who they hire, HoloEN fans have no standards they will watch anything.
The only thing that matters is that Cover has a streaming clause that forces them to stream consistently.
