Vtubers who were garbage at first, but over time evolved into a shining gem.

>>108156067she was perfect from the start
>>108156963Then why did nobody watch her?
>>108156882read the second part of the sentence anon
Ouro Kronii but like in reverse
>>108156067
the model was garbage, the content is more or less the same.
>>108157357She was great since her Pomu days. No idea what you're smoking.I actually like her less right now for some reason.
>>108157213You FAT FUCK you're the mascot nothing more
>>108156970blame the algorithm
>>108158045Algorithm doesn't hide talent. Sorry for your cope, femanon.
>>108156984that's the default. the thing op is talking about doesn't really happen
>>108158096it literally does?less recommendation -> less exposure -> less views
>>108158125There are literally no hidden gems. If you're good at streaming, you'll get the views you deserve.
>>108156067GTA the key card
>>108156067Most of them, I can't even name a single one that was awesome from the get go.
Miko started garbage, became good, then became garbage again
she still is garbage but hopefully will evolve
>>108157402Nijisister detected
>>108156963In the very beginning she was a little too restrained which hurt her appeal but she eventually started loosening up and started showing more of her true pontastic self. She was already on a slow but steady upwards trajectory by her first GTA V stream when she was mid-transition but the nigga clip meme pretty much catapulted her to the top spots.
>>108158183>>108156067but enough about pekhora who stays garbage from her debut to now. garbage then garbage now
>>108156067KoroneWent from “Worst debut in Hololive history; Lost cause; Worthless hag” to “What every livestreamer, idol and human person should aspire to be; Inspiration for millions around the world; Queen of perseverance, modesty, honesty, charisma; Saviour of hololive; Hero of the people” in a record 6 years and still going strong
>>108158668This is because she let loose and opened herself up, allowing herself to be the abnormal meme queen she is. Go watch her earliest vids, she's so nervous all the time. Something clicked and she went full-on X potato. Her energy was allowed to shine and everyone loves it, also her perseverance is legendary among the holos, which is why I started to watch her in the first place, starting with me catching her live playing Atlantis No Nazo, and her rawdogging it for over 10 hours to beat it (and without cheesing it when told how to). She's the queen of Kusoge and my kami-oshi and I love her to death.
>>108156970>Then why did nobody watch her?Because she was just following Cover's script like Kisuna AI.Cover's recent push toward more scripted play has made the talents seem more forced and unnatural.
>>108156970i didnt know she was therei stayed as soon as i found her, like most others Miko only ever needed the eyes, she did the rest
>>108160220Korone is everyone's kamioshi
>>108160456Precisely. I believed she had what it took to be #1 after first seeing her 5½ years ago (nye~ga).
A lot of seething Noufagi's itt
>>108158216The relationship of /ope/ jailbirds to Nerissa is one of the oddest things I've discovered on vt
>>108161507It's love/hate relationship
>>108156067gigicouldn't stand the high pitched voice she did during her first ~3 weeks
>>108158177yeah but there's a difference between starting off as garbage and staying garbage, starting off as garbage and becoming average at best and starting off as garbage and becoming one of the most well-known names in the scene
>>108156963aight let's not rewrite historyShe started very shy and relied too much on the scripting since she was part of the Sakura Miko Project. By the time she got moved into hololive her self esteem was pretty much destroyed, especially because she had a 3d model and yet was the least popular hololive member.On top of that everyone recounts Miko as an awkwardly shy and socially inept person. There was an instance where marine stretched her cheeks and everyone was startled because they hadn't seen miko like that. Suisei remember their first interaction as super awkward and she was rated by Choco sensei as the most introverted member of hololive by far... in front of her. She was escencially one of us, so it's astounding to see how she went from total inept loser into the most watched female streamer. No real advantages over others, only disadvantages.Her model was quite mid, while others were anime 2d pirates, onis, necromancers, bunny girls, elfs, her design was not that good, saving for the triangle mouth. 3d didn't help much either, Miko does actually have a 2d model and i just wonder how much faster she would have climbed in popularity if she had access to that model from the very beginning. Having that said, by the time she went into medical hiatus she was already closer to the current Miko than the original one, she adapted HARD and after that she slowly took over.
>>108158096Femanon's got a point, but in reality it was a combination of factors..Back in 2020 when vtubers exploded, some members were able to capitalize the explosion and became staples. Marine, Aqua, Korone, Pekora, Fubuki, Rushia, Coco, Matsuri and Haachama were the biggest winners of that era.Meanwhile the diamonds in the rough had to wait a little more to take their rightful place. Suisei, Miko, and especially Subaru were late bloomers, it took them years to fully capitalize on their strengths. They all did go viral, Suisei with suicopath and the music, Miko with nyegga and stay home, and Subaru with the dancing duck, but the Japanese audiences preferred the already established staples over them.
>>108156067Not garbage but because of INNK nobody knew who she was, it took her like 6 fucking years so she could start her career as a serious streamer and it was quite a blast.
>>108161507/ope/ is a mess, it's just one or two schizoposters who don't really watch her.
>>108157475hes not fat hes just got big bones
>>108163751Everyone just attributes her rise to muh new model but it took her a few months to actually gain a bigger audience after getting it. She grew even more this year with her doing a bunch of different playthroughs.
>>108162636>expecting newfag 35pagpags to know this
>>108156067Objectively correct answer
>>108156067If we're talking about garbage, pekora is garbage from the start and still a garbage forever and ever
>>108164121NTR fan POV
You forgot your>pic not related
>>108163913i feel like she got stuck for years in a very dysfunctional dynamic, and nobody knew what to do or had any intentions to fix it either.If you think about it, it's pretty depressive that a company makes a music label for you, they slip in a random indie and surprisingly such random indie actually blows up. You stick with your guns because you're supposed to be the vsinger project, and because the company is prioritizing music over streaming. As a result you don't prioritize streaming which is what attracts vtuber audiences to begin with.Go in circles for a while till either you or the company burn out(??) and take the more conventional path, just to see a stellar growth.
>>108165210She didn't do anything wrong as Fauna
>>108165479>burn outit was in the contract. AZKi was supposed to graduate in 2022. but things happened, and now she's here.
>>108161507Nerissa is basically speedrunning the Gura experience, it's no surprise people are upset.
>>108163751AZKi love.
>>108156067Sora is a lot better now. Since her first off collab with Choco she’s opened up and is really fun now. Very easy to talk to even as a greyfag EOP. It’s likely she’ll read your post in chat and try to reply to you in English.
>>108156978Cry about it
>>108162636Unrelated but I remember that shitty clipper called Bird-kun somehow believing the only reason for her break was that she was pregnant
>>108156882not really...
>>108158177Biboo. Rocked in from day one.
>>108168758That's hilarious.Having that said, there were rumors about her being pregnant, spreaded AFAIK by a very controversial gossip vtuber who also got sued by Yuzuki Roa of all people. A pink haired holostar had grauated/terminated at the time so that was the association.
>>108165527fauna is dead anon, but the voice actress is alive and cucking with the intensity of a thousand suns
>>108173734more like with the intensity of a brown dwarf nearing the end of its life cycle
