Global expansion has me slightly concerned, especially in North America.
Being honest, I don't think Eastern media companies work as well in the Western.....high school mentality media, better they stick to their own thing, recruit some who are very talented but not make it a focus unless you want to end up like Nijisanji.
Leave Europe and America to independents, Phase Connect and ironically Vshojo since they seem to have learnt lessons and gotten better, especially since Henya but more importantly Matara joined.
Quite the opposite, I pointed those two out as the start of Vshojo's 'revival'
After three of their more...marmite (you either liked them or hated them) talents left, Henya joining then Matara gave them a lot of goodwill especially Matara as she seemed to chill things down a lot more with her presence. Combine that with Nijisanji's continued implosion and Matara reaching out to a lot of those talents thrown out from the mean girls club, their reputation is steadily improving that a lot of the hate has gone away from that company.
I think Silver is still pretty good, but I can absolutely admit she is one of those "love them or hate them" types even before the Hogwarts situation. But I think her continued success on her own even after that was a good sign for the state of the culture war overall (even if she is not really an active member in it).
She was good it was her exit which was bad as it was heavily implied on the way out that she threw shade on Ironmouse not Froot for 'not having her back' and basically burned that bridge on the way out.
It was stupid drama but that's what caused a few to sour on her as why was Ironmouse signalled out but she seems to be doing fine independently. I think though a better indicator of the culture war is seeing how a vtuber like Kirsche is rising in popularity more and the fact that the vtubers who pander to the left are usually with Nijisanji that's crashing or crashing themselves due to internal drama while those more outspoken are rising in popularity.

Didn't realize Matara was controversial. Is it because she's Russian?
