She has choked off her own career and fanbase on purpose.

It's the weirdest evolution I've ever seen from a "celeb" I've followed closely, especially knowing that Gura has a "TALENT MANAGER" and is part of a big company.

From the outside it makes absolutely no sense, when all I've seen is that fans just needed the absolute minimum from her to not feel unappreciated.

That we've gotten so few songs from her is also super weird.

If you told me that after 3 years, someone like the Gura we got to know the first year, haven't done 1 on 1 collabs with people like Pekora, Korone or Haachama, I wouldn't have believed you.

It's super weird. She's fumbled this entire thing.

She could have had 10 million subs now with better advice and management.

She only streamed regularly for 1 1/2 years. The rest have been messed up by unannounced breaks and radio silence. No rhythm. No explanations.

As someone who liked the 'old' Gura, I wish she'd graduate if that's what she truly wants. The limbo she's in with fans and PR streams, merch etc, doesn't shine favorably on her at all.

I mean, fans are asking for tweets, and she's not doing it. LOL. If she likes money, surely keeping fans somewhat happy they got a tweet would result in even more money for her in the end. But what do I know.

To me usually someone who loves money and does something for the money would make a tweet to keep harmony and the money flowing.

That she has "made it" in the context of VTubing is irrelevant.

Her actions and behavior does not make sense from any possible perspective if you ask me. Her situation, her popularity at least initially, is what every streamer dreams of. If she didn't care about interacting, she could have gotten a company person to type HELLO! once in a while, but nope.

An optimistic take is that she feels shes creatively bankrupt. The realistic take is that she probably has more money than she knows what to do with, and until she figures it out, wont stream unless necessary. A possibility that she may think her recline will be harsh and devastating, so the cope is "if fade away due to not trying, its much better than to fail while trying". Then probably >>63166256

She doesn't care if it shines unfavorably on her and really why should she? She knows it doesn't matter what some think of her because she'll always have her loyal retards who enable her and throw money at her for nothing in return.
Imagine having a job and you literally don't have to do anything except the occasional shill stream and just watch the money roll in all the time anyway. I wouldn't do anything either if I was her.

My rrat is this: Lefties tried to bully her for the same reason they're going after pippa right now: entertaining chuds is a crime. Basically the company didn't side with her as it should have due to sunk cost fallacy and general JP cowardice which is admittedly well-warranted from their point of view after absolutely losing their shirts in the American market during the 90's. Cover doesn't know what the right move is and it's response is ultimately to go back to JP streamers and call it EN because they're speaking English. Good enough for me, really.

Disappointed about the sunk cost fallacy though, boys streaming really is going nowhere, my charming oji-san vampire is gone and all that's left is a bunch of boy band stuff I don't identify with. And that's the trouble, I don't need to resemble the women I'm attracted to, they're women. But other guys need to be at least somewhere close to on the same page as me because they're other guys, otherwise those are enemy guys. Also truly disappoint how insecure Vesp was, that was the only thing here that felt like a hurtful mirror.

This is why the “omg she is checked out because she had the money already” doesn’t make sense. A simple tweet just to sell an illusion to your fans is easy for these grifter types.

Personally I think she still has the same goal as when she got in. Become Miku. She never cared about streaming but hey JApan was locked up and it wasn’t a possibility. Now Japan isn’t and En still getting shafted while JP homos still getting more studio time than EN. The reason she even Joined Hololive just isn’t a possibility. That or she actually sick (but then she would stream every once in a while)

There are a few possibilities:

1) She is lazy as fuck and would be a NEET without Hololive. Nothing we can do here.

2) All her coworkers are jelly as fuck of her success, Gura knows it. Thus she is not streaming just to give her coworkers a better chance. We can choose to not watch her coworkers here.

3) She is really too busy doing other works for hololive, as she has the highest subs count. Nothing we can do here.

4) She actually hates being a vtuber. We can tell her to fuck off and just graduate.

5) She got pregnant and had a child, now she is too busy being a mom. Nothing we can do here.

>> No.63167733

>>63166537

The thing is, she no longer needs to stream to make money. If you go to Cover's site and look at their shareholder presentations and financial statements, you'll find that merchandising brings them more revenue than streaming does now.

Gura is almost certainly making a ton of "passive" income from merchandise, from songs, from concerts, from whatever her base salary is, etc. She also has a loyal fanbase who will just pay her to do absolutely nothing for months on end in the hopes maybe one day she'll come back.

Gura is basically semi-graduated now. She's going to show up for special events and that's about it. Pick a new oshi who streams a lot and likes streaming such as Kaela or Biboo.

If she tells them "I'm semi-graduated, don't expect any streams from me except when Cover orders me to" then she'll lose a lot of memberships and a source of "passive" income.

The quickest way to get Gura back would be to cancel memberships and make her worry about her income.

It's at least 3 years of a semi-motivated mother to build up a college fund for her favorite chumbud and a nest egg to retire on. Given how 2023's played out, it'd probably be win-win for both parties. More streams with a healthier and happier shark and a graceful graduation on the relatively far horizon. The only ones burned here would be the truly mentally unsound ones, or at least the deep parasocials. Nothing gold can stay, anon.
