It's honestly astonishing how talented these girls really are, now that they're each getting their time to shine. I'm sure Kiara has some hidden mastery that we haven't seen yet, but being completely fluent in three considerably different languages is no small feat.

Kiara's (not so) hidden mastery is annoying Calliope.

somewhat surprised that calliope ended up getting the most SC. Though I think her timeslot ended up being the most advantageous as it was hitting at least some portion of her western fanbase but at a great time in JP.

People were also giving her money specifically for her songs, so she had an edge there.

I can't understand why people complain about Kiara speaking Japanese, because all of my favorite foreign Vtubers are ones that do partial English, because I can follow along better. I'm sure it's probably the same for a lot of the people complaining, which is hypocritical. You enjoy the JP Vtubers better when you can understand them, surely you can let the JP viewers have the same fun with one member of EN?

Yeah Kiara's gonna be fine. She's 3+ hours deep on a SC reading stream and still going strong.

Well, she's dying, but the SCs are still going strong. We need a danke schoen counter, it must be in the thousands at this point.

Also I feel like there's gonna be a slingshot effect where kiara feels like she has to make up for the other EN members having an amazing talent and works herself half to death to "catch up" and just massively surges. Gonna predict she'll end up being a collab queen who dips as easily into a pekora stream as she does into a Gura or Ina stream, and the big thing that seems to really expand a vtuber's audience is doing collabs.

She's got great energy for doing collabs, too. I really want to see a Kiara and Amelia collab, because both of them are really good at keeping the energy level up and I'd love to see them bounce off each other.

She's going to have to get in line behind Pekora. A new Holo member who likes her the best, speaks Japanese and English, and is unfamiliar enough with Minecraft to have all the tricks work on her? It's Pekora's dream come true.

It's more about monetizing big amounts of money of something that it is not yours than it is about streaming itself.

Since it in the end it is about sticking to the big companies, then maybe someone should use Calli's music for their own purposes and profit out of it without any royalties and Cover/Calli better not complain.

Keep fighting the rebel fight my brothers.

In case anyone missed it, she did a karaoke stream last week that is somehow still archived, and it's half Japanese songs and half Evanescence and Paramore.

Applause is a fairly new thing and seemed fairly hated because Youtube takes a 60% cut from those donations instead of the 30% it takes from Superchat.

The 60% is supposedly if you do it on mobile, because it counts as in-app purchases so the app store gets a cut.

Edit: This article confirms that the regular cut is 30%, same as Superchats: https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/12/21134512/youtube-viewer-applause-clapping-feature-monetization-creators-twitch-donations

As soon as I'm done paying down some debts Ina is going to be my first membership, I get the most enjoyment out of her stuff and want to show her some love. I was always impressed she came into Hololive willing to tell chat to dial it back and having arranged a moderator for her streams. Kind of surprised no-one else followed suit.

Tsilkani
Jul 28, 2013

A chat like Kiara's or Ame's does make for better entertainment when they clash with the streamer, but I have to imagine it's exhausting in the long run. I think Ina's approach is much better in a self-care sense, as long as she can get Kiara to stop hassling her about it. I get why Kiara thinks like that, she's got an idol background and has probably been taught to really engage with the audience more on their terms, but it's not the only way. Look at Korone, she will straight up tell chat to zip it and she's popular as heck.

Can't link servers to one another, they either play directly on the JP server or they play completely separately.
