I mean, we can all assume what this is. Can't say I'm suprised, she hasn't been super active the past few months

It's kinda feeling like corporate vtubing is dying.

While the indie scene is exploding, with smaller, but far more numerous, streamers.

Plus, indies have full control, own their own IP, are able to decide what to play and when, and with who.

Indeed, I think a lot of them are realising that if they go a lot of their fans will follow them so they're more open to the idea compared to before when maybe it wasn't as guaranteed.

There's always advantages to being indie or corporate, but having that fanbase follow you going back to indie eliminates a lot of the biggest disadvantages of being indie so I'm not suprised that so many corporate vtubers are leaving.
