Was curious about the homo 3Ds, but obviously wasn't going to watch them so I did an archive dive into homo threads.
Don't worry, I bathed before posting this.

Okay I know this is an often-repeated argument, but I honestly think hololive fans are what killed the homos.

Exactly.
Thanks to being under the Hololive Productions umbrella, the algorithm would naturally push out pretty much any talent that's somewhat linked to Hololive.
But 2022-23 changed it quite a bit.
People on the EN side AND the JP side started not just actively ignoring homo clips, but clicking them and putting "not interested" or even "don't recommended this channel" on them.
EN fans thanks to Tempus and the holopro push, and JP fans due to Kanata minecraft, overlap ban and HLZTL.
What does the algorithm see from this?
> Oh these particular channels are heavily disliked by the people that like a huge bunch of similar channels, so let's not recommend it to them
But the thing is... is there any audience that's interested in the homos while also NOT interested in Hololive?
There's a very, VERY small percentage of Unityfags that watch both holos and homos, who won't click "don't recommend" for homo streams.
Because of them, the algorithm keeps recommending the homos to hololive viewers, because it's not a "clean break" which separates both sides. Unityfags watch Hololive too, and Holostars, and is their biggest audience, so the "similar interests" part of the algo will ALWAYS keep pushing the homos to hololive viewers... who continue to ignore or block the channels, killing them in the algorithm.

Separating the homos early on might have avoided this algorithm black hole and maybe at least pushed the homos to audiences that weren't familiar with hololive.
