It's just the SEEEEX posting in the /hlgg/ that's driving the postcount.

The problem with /vt/ is that it has spikes of popularity.
I was watching the graphs of the top 10 boards and before the 2nd HololiveEN generation announcement /vt/ was getting slower than /a/, /tv/ and etc with around less than 30 posts/min

The majority of users are unaware of major board events that happened this very year. The board is subjected to daily discord raids. Of course it's mainstream.

It's confirmed that holo staff actively lurk here.

When Mumei's yab tweet was discovered in the holoEN Council debut thread, it was deleted within less than 30 minutes.

When a thread was made about how Haachama had an upcoming stream titled "Reddit Shitpost Review with..." and the thumbnail only showed herself and a dragon in the clouds, the video was shortly edited to remove the "with...".

HoloEN Council has a literal rat character that represents chaos, which is the most blatant reference to "ogey rrat"/narrative-posting you can get while maintaining plausible deniability.

It's almost certain some talents lurk here as well, but it's hard to tell who unless they use some /vt/ term or meme that hasn't escaped containment.

>>8896653
It's a corporate mouthpiece, very stifling and in essence acts as a barrier filter - to get through you are expected to make some inconsequential vapid little post of "check out this cool clip! check out this meme template I did!" and it's all a little mindless if not outright deluded.

Even when Coco, their entire connection to Holo itself, graduated which was essentially like punching them right in the face, they still took it like "w-well if that's what she want's I-I'm happy for her and in fact you're an evil anti if you're angry about this at all" kind of outright kool-aid drinking and I found that actually-disturbing to witness, like actual fucking brainwashing in action because they are SO terrified of speaking their minds.

It's not that /vt/ is just so great, it's more like reddit is just so fucking bad for anything more than its original purpose - posting news and information.

[Anonymous No.]

The data is a bit misleading. I'm sure most people here treat the threads like general as some sort of chat room and post 30-40 times per day while the subreddit stupidly closed itself to any kind of discussion content so the users just browse and don't comment as much. If you see the number of IPs in a thread on /vt/ you can see there's way less people than the ones browsing r/hololive.

>>8906189
The IPs per thread indicate only who bothered to actually speak up, not the lurkers, and lurker-poster ratio is insanely high on 4chan actually because captcha is annoying and like half the world is rangebanned anyway. As in like 20:1. Also, from the changing times of day vs regions of the world it's not the same people commenting round the clock so to go "ha /vt/ is like 300 people" is assuming those same identities use every single thread on the board equally which is hogwash, we know a ton of people outright say they use like, 2-3 threads here and little else most of the time.

You would need to know unique IPs per 24 hour push etc to actually know the true metrics of this place and the public does not know that. We do know, that 4chan is a couple-dozen-million users at least, and that the top boards (/v/ etc) are statistically at least several million users in total. /vt/ is probably at least a couple hundred K users for its young age if not already into mil+ range. Consider reddit is actually-banned in Indonesia and if they speak English it's basically here, facebook or discord which is why there is seemingly a higher-than-expected presence of SEA here. Actually it's this state of things which leads me to rrat that this is why there seems infinitely less pressure on the IDs to avoid talking about here / dogwhistling here, because it's not like Cover is losing traffic from their sub to us to begin with. Moona is semi-openly here and responds to posts in her thread via tweet, Risu namedropped /vt/ the day it was made etc.

/jp/ was always tiny, actually it's still bloated for its relative normal size and had been usually treading 6-8k for like, the past decade.

So to see /jp/ rocketed up to like 30k average then 40k+ average in the EN age, all in only ~2 threads, was unsustainable as the subject clearly outgrew the board hence /vt/ was made. Thing is vtubers are not banned off /jp/ either so you have some residual holdouts, namely /hlg/ who feel more like they belong there because they were around far longer before /vt/ and it was really the Global surge which made /vt/ obviously-necessary.

I'd also say people get bothered by all the shitposting here but in essence, you can argue it is accelerationism - just getting it over with, because it's plain reality, and people are going to otherwise have those bad thoughts bundled up in their heads turning into a mental logjam for years, and to never address them is to ask people to become more and more fake/contrived versions of themselves when talking on the subject. You can be a piece of shit here, but a free-minded piece of shit not feeling like a fake little twat like reddit.
