IIRC one of the girls fans, think it was marines, started to complain about pandering to EOP and she responded that she didn't have enough domestic growth or something like that.

As an EOP (I speak rudimentary Japanese but my kanji knowledge is about that of an elementary school kid), I kinda hope they don't pander too much. I enjoy the cultural distance between myself and the JP talents. But Marine isn't doing all that much. She could have hopped on the duolingo train for easy content drip after signing up for eikawa but she knows that her audience prefers to watch her play videogames instead. Her EN pandering is about the same level as Calli or Kiara's JP pandering tbh.

Really though, this sort of thing was always inevitable. There's probably only 130 million speakers of Japanese in the world (that includes natives and JSLs). Just in terms of native English speakers (400 million), the market is nearly 4 times larger (and it's much younger on average so more likely to consume streamer content). If you add in ESLs who speak the language well enough to watch animu girl streamers, there's about 2 billion English speakers, and many of them live in markets that Cover wants to target (SEA, Korea, Europe, etc).

With numbers like this, even basic EOP pandering probably generates growth that blows the best domestic growth out of the water.

Thanks POLtato PC. She needs to get a pre-built PC with a RTX 3090 like the one Ame bought so bad.

That god-tier roster though. It only needs Pekora and Polka and it would be perfect.

Pandering to where’s the “free money” is the correct way of putting it. English is so mainstream that you will easily find English sub anime vs your prefer language.
While their main audience is still JP but getting those juicy akasupa from the free money English speaking audience is also enticing. There’s a lot of free money in the western English speaking market consider how some techies who works 6 figs gigs had money to throw at meme stocks in the past months. Squeeze those extra change from those guys will set them up for good streaming career. For example, Haachama had a lot of rich and devoted Haatons (if pay attention, you will see those guys who throws in their max akasupa ($1000 per day) on every single of her streams because she speaks English (even if she’s not speak as much nowadays). This start a joke on how some software engineer at YouTube probably a Haaton whose ensures that Haachama never get banned or trouble with the algorithm until now.
Just pandering to where’s the money at is good. Waiting for the day Danchou and Mel do English ASMR.

Greetings, this bear is singing karaoke to celebrate 1k subs:
I've been watching her since her /vt/ thread, she speaks English pretty well and has a nice chill, but strange personality.

She's also got good taste in vtubers, mentioning that she liked Marine, Gura, and Pikamee.

Thanks, I had always wondered with their positive reaction to overseas viewers if they had ever felt the same way with their bilibili audience or if it was more of a contractual obligation sorta deal.

Speaking of CN girls, kinda surprise that Yogiri, supposedly a Taiwanese, continue streaming on Bilibili instead of neutral platform like Twitch or even YouTube.

It's a platform that has a preexisting fanbase and/or same language. Even if she's Taiwanese and Bilibili is a West Taiwan platform, prolly easier for her to tap her old fanbase and same language versus trying to bring em over to Twitch or Youtube and open a can of bugmen trying to bring her down for "abandoning the Mainland".

If west Taiwan had that much money to throw at them the meme about them being bootleg pirating games and media probably stop a long as time ago. Not to mention HoloCN total earnming was lower than Mori’s 1 song release after party session. The idea of getting $1 for every West Taiwanese to makes profit is dumb consider how tight pocket they are and how “rich” they actually are.

Listening to HoloEN Image OST while waiting for Coco's stream. Gura and Ame arguably got the best tracks, followed by Calli and Ina's kinda generic but pretty good songs. Kiara's one sounds too much like a Hatsune Miku rejected demo for my taste, but it's good enough.
