/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

As someone who mostly watches HoloJP this feels very weird.
Most of the JP girls have fans that watch other girls when they go on breaks and then return when their oshi starts streaming again.
It's the entire system around which Hololive is built on, your oshi goes on break? You watch her friends!
It's to the point where they even make cute jokes referring to that fact e.g. Ayame's fanbase denying it heavily even when she's genuinely asking, Koronesukis going "uh oh" when Korone call them out, Lamy playing the menhera gf card when asking who you were watching while she was away etc. etc.

But whenever the EN girls go on breaks, it feels like they have very little trust in their fanbase remaining with them, at least for anyone other than Gura (who seems to have been trying for a lower and comfier fanbase for a LONG ass time).
From Gura and Ina's examples, it feels like a large part of the fanbase will still stick around no matter how long you take a break for, with maybe a few 1-2k casual fans fucking off if it's too long or if you return with debuff content.
I've also never heard the EN girls recommending their fans to watch other girls during their own breaks.

Is this just an unfounded fear that they have? Or is the EN audience just not as unified in terms of oshis as the JP audience?
Or is this just a special instance because so many of the girls are on a break that EN fans only have Advent to watch, and hence the recorded content?
