Nijisanji seems to have effectively blackmarked themselves, similar to what's happened with Sweet Baby. I have the feeling that Selen was the final straw and probably the last talent the non toxic fanbase watched so with her gone, there was just the very insular group left so 50% revenue down as a result.
So they're slowly bleeding out, EN side might be shut down by next year, I'm now looking more at this weird shit where we have a Twitch employee suspending vtubers for stupid reasons (like banning one that said her audience gives her a reason to live as promoting suicide) and YouTube arbitrarily going after clip channels and ASMR creators as 'sexual content' even when it isn't.
If people had paid attention to the Zaion Lanza situation and didn't immediately take Nijisanji's word for it, this would have been known over a year ago, but it took that long and we nearly lost Doki because of it.
On the other stuff, Twitch is being biased against Vtubers IMO because the admins aren't getting the vtubers' nudes like they do with the e-girls that stream on the platform. They hit Zen with a warning because Zen streamed with a new outfit that's a one-piece, there was another vtuber that got banned for a whole month for drinking on stream because her model is that of a loli and only got unbanned because people made a stink about it.
I at least understand why Youtube is going after clippers, as multiple channels uploading the same video over and over does take up server space, but then they should take down people who aren't the musicians who make songs as songs get uploaded hundreds if not thousands of times and are about the same length as many clips on their own.
ASMR has to be the advertisers though, although that's also super inconsistent. Some ASMR is sexual and some isn't, like the Twitch girls will blow a cucumber and call it ASMR while tapping on your microphone gets tagged; it's pathetic overall and I hate that some people get envious/angry at pixels and the people behind those pixels that easily.
