Yeah, I couldn't imagine why any corporately contracted talent with streaming obligations in an ephemeral industry would focus on numbers.
This isn't directed at @What the shit and his rehashing. But, honestly the numberfag guardians in general that aren't impartial.
Look, let's just call a spade a spade here. A good portion of (and I'll only be using them for this) Hololive talent has Numberfagged at some point if not consistently. Suisei is my numero uno, but she has done the whole 'sing until XYZ' to hell and back. They all do. Haato even did it and failed (but her progress in that singing stream was incredible). Rushia is the goddamn queen of superchats and she does everything that Kiara does consistently. And yes, there have been references to other talents' milestones during those streams.
Frankly, it comes down to understanding. I believe most of the 'Fuck You Numberfagger's are EoPs that don't get that the one JP-immersed EN talent is marketing like a JP talent. Is it right? Well, I think she should dial it back. . . . but is it sensible? Yeah, it kind of is. And, it makes her brand unique among the ENs to her JP audience. Yes, even being a numberfaggot is a selling point. Her JP fans are idol fans, and idol fans love that shit. The numbers are proving it, as much as it is fucking her mental state unfortunately.
But, you're right. Numberfagging is stupid in the grand scheme of things. The problem is that it is both logical and encouraged in the entertainment industry as a whole. Kiara is playing the game by the rules and gets hit for it. P.S.A.: If you think that your oishi isn't doing the same, 85% of the time you would be disappointed. Very rare are the talents that simply do not give a shit (EN for the most part, which makes sense since they cater to that audience while Kiara is hell-bent on catering to JoPs as well).
