Oh they do hate the idol culture for preventing women from getting "the sex", because normalfags value one thing above all else and that's "the sex". However normalfags have become mentally controlled by whatever's trending on the internet and animeshit is popular and retards on /vt/ make shit memes which filter into the normalsphere and are edited into increasingly distorted, nonsensical forms for normalfags to 'consume' while they watch their daily 5 minute clip (the optimal runtime) so they can say that pegor is their 'oshit' so they can fit in with all the cool kids on twitter.

We live in a weird society where twitchfags basically never get laid, ever. But somehow they think if they shit on other people who think whoring yourself out is wrong, they can e-cred their way into being a sexual tyrannosaurus despite being fundamentally pathetic people. The entire internet nowadays is one big pretentious copeworld, in much the same fashion real life 20 years ago was normalfags pretending to be things they're not. Really weird to see, but that's how it is.

normalfags don't hate the idol culture. the people who hate on it are extremists of a different type than the people who go turbo incel here, it's just hard to remember because our board culture leans towards one side of the spectrum and we forget that inbetween are a ton of people who don't give a fuck about anything except opening up streams on algorithm and seeing cute anime girls that they probably don't even remember to subscribe to

The meta is 30 seconds, but that's only when showing clips to people who ALREADY like Vtubers. If you are showing it to someone who knows nothing about them or has no strong opinions, then 10 seconds and less is optimal.

Initially cover pretended to be an idol group. They kept up a pretense that all their talents were carefully vetted for boyfriends (lol) and yagoo made public statements comparing his company to an idol group. But these days, after endless doxes and shitshows, they stopped the pretense. Now yagoo issued a public statement that hololive has no business in the personal lives of their talents, telling us what we already know essentially. So there is no more illusion anymore. I mean people can pretend if they want, but we all know the truth.

I'm a bong so to me normalfags only use youtube to watch music videos of the songs they heard on radio, are still watching old school TV and when they have a sort of routine that goes like

Normal people beyond a certain age (somewhere between 20-24) stop finding spamming overly sexual talks (i.e: cum, dick, nipple, etc.) or talking about controversial politic issues "fun". A joke once in a while is fine, almost several per stream is a bit much. Holo just happens to be the "safest" group among chuubas right now

>Hololive is undoubtedly the most popular and accessible vtuber group out there, but why? Aren't normalfags supposed to hate idol culture?
The first thing (why is Hololive popular) and the last thing (idol culture) don't really have all that much to do with each other - sure, we can argue about how they are related (ie. "Hololive is the most popular BECAUSE it is the most idol-like", and then go in circles about what that means for "so normies actually LIKE idol culture after all?").

But I'd posit a simpler explanation - normies just like what is already popular (in some ways, that's one of the quintessential definitions of "normie"). And Hololive has been the most popular vtuber group already for a few years now, especially in the West, going from ascendancy to dominance at least since late 2019 / early 2020 for various reasons (viral meme clips, gacha collabs, broad clipper base providing lots of easy entry points for more newfags which fuels more clips in an ever growing feedback loop, competing agencies shitting the bed with bad decisions and missteps, covid boom, and finally HoloMyth being the first "serious" attempt at an EN branch by a major JP agency coming in at the right time right place to capture all that growing pent-up demand for an EN group and cornering the market with their first-mover advantage).

So, at some point, when you reach a certain size, there is a sort of "institutional inertia" that basically guarantees you keep growing (unless you majorly shit the bed with a couple of fuckups and missteps), because the self-reinforcing nature of the YT algo selects for what is already popular (because, with reason, it thinks that this is what people want to watch, because hurrdurr it wouldn't be already popular otherwise) and prioritizes that in their recommendeds, thus feeding ever more people to the already popular thing in a self-sustaining manner (until all the potential fanbase is eventually tapped out).

And people, especially "normies", LIKE to partake in what's already popular. First, it is "safe", there's no real controversy and drawback for liking [popular thing]. Second, and this is also important, [popular thing] also always comes with a massive existing fan community, and people like to "belong" (especially nowadays in the modern individualized world where actual community is a scarce commodity and gets replaced by imaginary fan communities). That's attractive in itself, no matter the "quality" of the thing the community is build around, the fact that it has a community. Unless you're consciously a contrarian hipster (and normies are by definition not), you'll flock to where already the most other people are, because that ensures you'll always have other people around to talk with you about [popular thing] and have a constant stream of fanmade content to enhance your experience. Other smaller vtuber groups for example don't have that benefit and it's much more of an uphill struggle for them.

How so? I never mentioned reddit at all - but hey, if you want to go there, sure, one piece of Hololive's popularity has also been how reddit-friendly they are, having the largest subreddit for any agency, and actively involving its reddit via things like meme reviews etc. (thus making the community feel "involved", fuelling greater engagement, which drives more new people to the reddit because the place is "happening").
So if you want to use "reddit" as a pejorative, be at least consistent and accept that Hololive itself is already the "most reddit agency" out of them all

Hololive don't have "idol culture" just they are not preaching stick in the butt assholes like niji or promote blatant children toliet humor like vshojo.
And respect to Boyfriend GFE stuff they are too much "in your face" with the hate they feel for their audience. At least Hololive tries to hide it.
