Hey, you guys wanna hear a funny story that was relevant back in my day of pre-EN Hololive?
Back before Fifth Gen debuts happened, the "unspoken contract" was that you got a 3D model if, and only if, you hit 100k subscribers. 100,000. It was considered a big deal back then, with most of the girls only really hitting 100/200k subs as a maximum limit, outside of outliers like the Gen 3 girls and Fubuki.
Then, Botan hit 100k subs by the end of her debut stream, and people considered that to be something so wild that it probably wouldn't be repeated again for years to come. It was insane at the time, to think about a Holo managing to get a full 100k subs before her very first stream was even done! It changed the idea of "100k gets you a 3D model debut" to "3D models will probably happen, eventually, if you do alright."
And for a long time (one month), it seemed like a truly unbeatable record.
