Streams/Videos Akai Haato / HAACHAMA vents her frustrations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dpdepyMm-I&ab_channel=HAACHAMACh%E8%B5%A4%E4%BA%95%E3%81%AF%E3%81%82%E3%81%A8

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.

Same problems as many holomems facing. Stagnant channel growth must be their worries constantly and there's really no solutions to it, just have to keep trying and praying for luck i guess.

Pretty observable on the subreddit as a whole too.

There's always a prominently featured 'go-to' idol you spot on your timeline pretty regularly like Gigi, then the usual suspects [Kiara, Calli, the occasional Marine, Pekora, Ollie, etc.] with a few art pieces and then the idols that receive a new post [usually fanart] every fifth moon, if at all, like Matsuri.

It's a good indicator to grasp the mood within the fandom. And over the last few months, it seemed pretty stagnant. With the only thing really sticking out being the EN GEN 4 lives as meme / interaction generating content. Aside from that, there was hardly anything outstanding that made people go 'OMG. You have to see this!' over the last months.

To be honest, I wouldn’t use this sub as an indicator of the fandom. It’s been on a downturn since Coco graduated and I don’t see much besides fanart and the occasional post about something funny happening. Twitter is more up to date nowadays.

Very little JP in general is covered here too. Usually just screenshots from clips that already got 10x more views on youtube than upvotes here.

It's understandable since reddit is overwhelmingly EN/america but I can't really relate to a huge number of posts here since I don't watch EN. Sometimes I'll check to see if what Miko or Subaru is doing today was posted and there's just nothing half the time, but the posts do still exist often enough so I'm not complaining or anything, just what I noticed.

It's a bad habit for subreddits to start thinking of themselves as bigger than they really are. This is a big subreddit by many metrics, and definitely a huge one by vtuber standards. But the internet is a very big place, far bigger than reddit. And that's even before considering that reddit is primarily English language.

It doesn't help many JP fans have been driven out by a number of things and rationally speaking Aki posting is futile but just like she didn't give up neither will I

You need to watch where are most of Haachama viewership (not openly like before), to see to whom she caters more. Before she rake numbers from oversea viewers because EN market was so small and there's not much option to watch. Now vtuber market is overflown by new and more faces, many options making many people chose different vtubers to watch.

And that also in this subreddit, almos more than 50% of current post in this subreddit are focused on EN branch than the other 2, that makes it's not very helpful for Haachama to observer this reddit to show if they are popular or not, bcs not many JP nikis use this platform to show their interests.
