They really didn't.
They chased after everybody by using as many strategies as they could to grow their channel, which worked great up until they were forced to take a break due to the move.
Fauna could easily get it if she starts pumping out viral shorts every day and asking herself for 1m subs on twitter or whatever, but she doesn't seem to care that much about it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>91812739
A majority of their subs came pre-move (850k), and those came from karaokes, some clippable moments, and being the only ones to play some of the games they played. The last push was both shorts and JP chasing, and specifically GTA got a huge chunk of JP nikki to sub to them and push them over the edge.

Anime fans generally like lolis but they don't get much of a buff with casual fans. Gura was lightning in a bottle when she debuted in 2020 but there are now hundreds of loli vtubers. Any new EN vtuber is debuting in a crowded market and Fuwamoco being twins got the attention of JP fans but is unlikely to happen again. There is a good chance that EN5 and EN6 will have slower growth rates than Justice which means the next gens will take at least 5 years to reach 1M subscribers. The Hololive box helps but as the number of talents increase the JP fans are getting more reluctant to subscribe to new gens.

That said,
>>91818482 is right.
Speaking as someone who believes Biboo to be the second coming of peak Gura, tye landscape is just not the same. 2020 was during covid. Also, Gura was made to stream more regularky than she did pre-Holo and was also starting out her official idol reps. Its why it is called "peak Gura" for a reason. Biboo is very much her own identity and humour, but there's a lot about her that matches pesk Gura.
There are clear differences though. Gura remains to be the superior singer, and she has had experience in the kids entertainment industry. Biboo is still a novice in many ways, and her strengths are mostly in gaming, heing able to maintain long hours. But a lot of Biboo's earnestness and humour matches Gura.
The way I see it, Biboo just needs a bit more time and opportunity to shine.

Youtube cut 200k-250k subs from each of them, most of them hidden from the count rather then unsubbed. You add those back and their sub growth makes a lot more sense with their other metrics.

The reason Gura became popular had nothing to do to with her being a loli. Gura has all the good traits of a highly brandable character:
>recognizable design that anyone can tell at a glance
>simple design that's easy to draw for fanart or make for cosplays
>highly saturated colors that draw attention to her
>catchy name that's easy to remember
>unique name that's easy for people to search for and find
Compare this with Bijou:
>name not unique enough to search for without additional search terms
>colors are mostly gray and unsaturated
>design is complex
>silhouette doesn't have a very unique shape
Bijou may be more entertaining than Gura, but as far as branding goes, Gura is by far the most brandable vtuber in the world, and that's what really carried her. Being a loli had nothing to do with it. That's why even most people outside of vtubers have heard of Gura. One glance or mention of her sticks to your mind easily, and that's what made her such so popular.

They did?
Myth for a long ass time was the only gen with all 5 five members having over 1 million subs, Gura and Mori were 1 and 2 in subs for nearly 2 years, Mori is the only other EN who has over 2 mil subs (was the 2nd Holo to do this), the next one to eclipse that milestone will be Ina (would've likely been Ame had she not graduated) Myth is the only gen beside JP 3rd gen (arguably the most popular JP gen) to have 2 members with 2+mil subs, etc
If you're asking why they don't also don't have 4 million subs, it's because they aren't lucky enough to be blessed by the YT algo like Gura is, so they have to actually work to get subs, as opposed to passively gaining them because the website pushes your channel/content harder than a drug dealers in the 80s pushed crack
I mean just look this shit lmao, she hasn't done a public stream in 60+ days yet she's gaining at a comparable rate to other Holos who stream more in a mouth then she has for the entire year
I like her and have been subbed to her since debut, but you're frankly just delusional if you think her growth is because she has a catchy name or simple design or something

The algorithms are not luck based. They are the complete opposite, in fact.

Wrong.
Algos are extremely fickle and luck based.
The only thing it rewards is consistent scheduling.
It's trying to match your content to your audience.
It is completely luck based if it manages to do that, because it doesn't know if it will work or not, it simply tries to different audiences until it finds a base.
The issue is that it doesn't blast it all at once.
The algo quickly found out Gura's audience because it's kids.
Mori can't be shilled to kids.
Being kid friendly is an instant goldmine for views.

Timing. Myth completely took over the internet when they debuted, and the high from how new they still were back in 2021 left Promise completely overshadowed in the beginning. It wasn't until 2022 that Promise finally started to break away from Myth's shadow and take off, partly thanks to many of the Myth members taking hiatuses back then, giving the Promise girls a bigger spotlight. Watching Mumei go from extremely underrated to a beloved mainstream superstar on the same level as the Myth girls in real time was so damn cathartic. Especially when you consider the fact that she barely missed out on hitting 1M in her PL.

The JP audience didn't know anything about her and she was too zoomer at first for the west.

Ever since HoloGTA her numbers have been growing steadily once the JP's fall in love with her she'll break a million.

>Susan chopped around 100k off their sub counts over the course of their first week
What kind of absolute delusion do you have to be under where this is a factor? Is there a single person in this world who subbed to council prior to debut, had their sub removed, and then just forgot that the second generation of hololive en existed and never watched or subbed again?
