It's an obvious bait post but I won't deny that some elements of it are not wrong. She has mellowed down a bit and stepped a way from the center of attention - the face or leader as some would say. But that doesn't mean she is burned output, rather the opposite, I'd say. It's quite clear that she was never all that comfortable in that position and she has actively tried to groom and mentor a successor in Marine, that is the entire point of the radio show, if you listen to the earlier episodes it's easy to see that they didn't know each other all that well from the beginning and only formed their Friendship through the show to begin with. FBK never wanted to be a leader and only arrived in that position by circumstance, unlike more recent hires that were already big before FBK was a nobody streamer that just happened to make Hololive's popularity rise dramatically. She is still a major feature of Hololive but she doesn't MC every single major sponsorship or official channel stream anymore. She's not that ambitious, she stated on multiple occasions that she is glad to no longer be number one and that she was happy for Korone, Gura and everyone else that came after them. In fact, if you watch her current content I think it's quite obvious that she is much more comfortable than before. She does just go with he flow and does whatever she wants to these days - and that's a good thing. I feel like she is having a lot more fun streaming now and does some brilliant and funny streams once in a while. But sometimes she just wants to do a normal stream and just play a game she wants to play, regardless of whether it will do good numbers or not. She doesn't care about that anymore, she is fine with the way things are. She has a very loyal fan base that allow her to stream that way, something she has definitely come to appreciate through the shit that happened within the past year. I can't read her thoughts obviously but I get the impression thay she is having more fun than ever with her new found freedom to do whatever she wants.

As for collabs, the chink threat is still a thing. Fubuki is typically Japanese in the sense that she hates the thought of other people being bothered by her actions (or existence in this case) so she tries to keep to her close circle because she knows they don't resent her for the spam in the chat. She doesn't go and seek out new collab partners unless they specifically ask her because she doesn't want the chinks to harass them instead because the chins know FBK herself doesn't care if they do it to herself. All of her off-channel TRPG collabs have been in member only for a year now, they forgot once a few months ago and it was a constant torrent of spam. So she tries her best to avoid these kind of situations.

She probably also doesn't do that many clips anymore because a large part of her old ones had to get privated because of copyright, maybe she just didn't have a lot of ideas that work that won't give her a strike. Creativity ebbs and flows sometimes.

tl;dr: What the baiter said is mostly true but I think he misinterpreted why this is happening. She is not burned out, she just changed her streaming style and is more comfortable this way.
