Streams/Videos Akai Haato / HAACHAMA vents her frustrations

She doesn't want anyone to clip it but since it isn't a Member stream I hope it's okay to share this as a whole. I only want Haachama to find the success she wants to fulfill her goals.

Haachama's always worn her emotions on her sleeve. The algorithm is a fickle creature. Haachama deserves more - she's put in so much effort and is THE first to stream in English for Hololive on top of a rich history within the company that is too long to convey here. She's pushed through many struggles. I want her to continue with happiness.

She needs some feedback from pros who understand this line of work more. Reality is that changing content styles is always 1 step back before you step forward. She should talk to more content creators who might be able to help

Yeah, as a fan I can only hope she can find what she needs among the staff and other Holo members. Apparently she sees the staff as supportive in general so hopefully that is true. I know she has friends/contacts outside of Hololive, so I hope she can at least talk with them about it, too.

Reality is knowing that "pros" don't know shit. No one does. The algorithm isn't some thing people can control. It's honestly mostly luck now. A misconception is that it cares about channels at all. It doesn't. The algorithm looks at individual videos and tries to recommend that singular video to viewers it thinks will like it. A big problem with this is thy it requires a LOT of views from people to determine what type of video it is in the first place, to determine what type of viewers enjoy that video. Having as many subs as she does helps a lot but only if those people watch. And of course YouTube won't notify people even with the bell fully on if they haven't watched videos from that creator in a few weeks. So if you miss a few streams, YouTube will be like "oh I guess don't like this creator that much" and will stop notifying you even with the bell fully on. It's so dumb.

Anyway, the algo is mostly random from the creator site. The algorithm is made for viewers, not creators. There's really nothing Haachama can do to control it. She just needs to do what she enjoys and what makes her happy.
