sorry in advanced, most of these are jp and not western.
1) Yes, I watched both Holo and Niji
2) Mostly Subaru, Nene, and Emma August. Sometimes Sora and Kirame
3) I like zatsudan/chatting streams, helps me with my jp reps, and they usually have funny things to say. Mostly character design draws me in at first, but what makes me stay is personality and entertainment value. Subaru was the first I started watching, it's been almost 2 years now.
4) It took me a while to start watching indies, only because it was relatively hard to discover them as most game collabs (how I was introduced to Hololive) and clips (how I discovered Emma/Niji) focus largely on corporate chuubas
5) Indie draw for me was largely chat interaction and less restrictive rules on community engagement. Former was very similar to early holo member only streams, latter was just something that would have been nice.
6) Not in particular, but familiar content would help me personally appreciate indies for who they are
7) My corporate oshi now is Aoi from Prism, and my favorite indie is probably Uni Shirahara. The content is very similar, JP/EN bilingual, amazing singing, and nice zatsudan.
8) Western indies are a mixed bag imho. Kana, Reiny (Hi Reiny, I know you lurk sometimes), Shizukou are all pretty fun and high quality. With corporate (even small corpo like Prism/Tsunderia/PC/Kawaii) you can expect a certain baseline of quality, but with indies it's up to you to filter on your own.
9) Not particularly, but also not particularly not happy either. I sort of just go through the motions on a daily basis wondering what I'm going to do with myself when, at whatever point, my oshi graduates
