I was asleep but saw these when I got up and checked the thread. Kind of gave me a laugh since I wasn’t expecting it lol but I understand the “concern.” The general opinion that people have been partially doomposting about is:
>”Why are Gura’s VODs lower than normal?”
And to that I say it’s both (slightly) true and (highly) false. To start with the concerns, much of it comes from her recent string of buff games that don’t seem to make much traction during the processing phase. These thoughts are valid, as I do theorize that Gorn being thrown into age restriction actually did have an effect on her discoverability, which would cause this effect of her VODs “normalizing.” There’s also the expectation out of Gura VODs and the belief that any 20k is gonna be massive. This is where things get a bit falsified by people who never really paid attention to these sort of things.

1. Minecraft has always been a buff game that’s brought success to just about everyone, but there’s always been a hint of the VODs stabilizing out over time. This is not necessarily because people don’t want to watch. In fact, it could easily be explained as the opposite: People STICK to the stream and watch, therefore the churn is lessened and the bloated VODs suddenly become more in line with others. This can be seen in a lot of top holos, Pekora included. Even Startend had been showing signs of this, where Aqua was down 150-200k views on vods that seemingly were in line with the rest ccv-wise. In the end, ccv is just ccv. In a world where hundreds of thousands are tuning in, the difference in 2k people watching does not reflect well on that.

2. To follow this thought, there’s likely people looking at this latest stream and saying to themselves “hey why isn’t this 300k yet” and that again can be explained with the response above with a bit more proof to show.

(^ check stream stime of that one)
The thing with horror games/spooky games is that most of the attraction to them comes from the reactions. And there’s no worse way to enjoy this than to not be in the stream. For that reason, there’s been many of cases where VODs of these games have never really found footing in the processing period. It happened with her Within Skerry VOD too, that was initially stuck at around 340k during the most buff time for her this year and didn’t find views until much later.

Lastly, this is the part that is the most untrue of them and that’s that Gura’s VODs are low in the first place. This is dumb, and any concerns about this are purely due to stream time as of late. When Gura was getting her best VODs this year, it was a mixture of buff games and longer VODs. You don’t get amazing results off 2 hour long streams. Stream time matters, and in Gura’s case she’s notorious for getting above 100k/hr of stream time. I’ve tried to explain this here and there but if Gura hypothetically streamed an hour longer for things like Taiko/MC, you’d already be seeing a 400k VOD and those worries would be dispelled. And Gura, despite the worries of people, absolutely has the power of her VODs come out still. Her first MC VOD beat out her OW stream with Towa in just 3 days. And that was a VOD thought to be great, so it’s not like people just up and left. Again, let me just reiterate this: Stream length matters. You can see that Gura is clearly hitting the 125k-150k views per hour mark in her recent VODs while processing. That’s essentially in line with her numbers of the past.

TL;DR
Essentially, she’s performing the same as before, if not better, however the concerns of people are not false either. Her Gorn age restriction may have had an effect on her showing, as in YT could have put her in a lower priority system off it if that’s how that bullshit works.

It’s a 2hr long stream. It was talked about earlier today, but short streams are always gonna be fighting for those views more. I’ll put it to you like this: If Gura was getting 125k/hr of stream time, 30 minutes would tack on another 62.5k views, giving her close to 350k now just because she streamed 30 minutes longer.

A 4hr stream would’ve netted 500k. Also, MC tends to retain people so the views aren’t super inflated. Pic related, this was 7 months ago. You can clearly see that the views/hr of stream time are extremely similar

I’m sorry that this is a little late, I was busy with stuff but I saw these posts and people were a little confused over the vod totals, so I wanted to explain some things real quick so you understand a little better.

Historically, MC has been a buff game for just about everyone and the the numbers show, but what the numbers have ALSO shown is that even in the past, talents have had mixed results with their vods. So you’re saying to yourself “why isn’t the vod 300k+“ and the reality is, even 7-8 months ago you can see VERY similar numbers in regards to MC (and this is 7 months, not <24 hours…) The reasoning for this is very similar to APEX, but just the opposite: As people grow accustom to seeing you stream it, they will often remain watching you instead of continuously tuning in and out. Hence why you see how Gura had one of her best streams in months, since hee chat speed was blazingly fast, money was made and 200 members were gained, because people were gelled to the stream.

Anywho, I know you’re also trying to compare these 2 streams here, so I thought I’d also bring something up: 30 minutes is a fucking lot. I understand people would have a fit because vod watchers do come up at night, so lets say hypothetically that Gura had 250k (lower than now) views as we speak. Well, that’s 125k views per hour of stream time. If there was in theory more for Gura to do for 30 more minutes, that’s 62.5k views. If Gura played 30 minutes longer, her vod would already be over 300k right now. This is a common thing you see people miss when they check the vods. 30 minutes is a lot of fucking time to have over another stream.

Anyways, it’s an Aqua karaoke after a return. Both did great and you can see right now that Gura’s MC is still going up by a lot.
