>>93132368Mo Stocks Mo Watches anon here, it's a Tuesday over in Japan and the market has closed.ANYCOLOR INCHES UPDespite a strong start to the day, Anycolor stocks would only rise up to 2680 yen (9) for the day. Going by the minute, they saw respectable gains that pushed them to the low 2700s, but a sharp drop right before lunch would keep them to just the high 2600s. Anycolor however still sees a 136 yen loss for the week.COVER CATCHING UPSimilar to Anycolor, Cover only manages to get to 2545 yen (48) after a strong start that had them in the triple digits. Their trajectory mirrored their competitor, but Cover instead fell more into line with the NIKKEI, seeing a similar percentage growth. They take a decent chunk out of their losses so far this week, now only at 83 yen.OTHERThere was a error in yesterday's report, the gap yesterday was 174 yen, not 226 (I am still not sure how I made that mistake.)Currently the gap is now just 135 yen in Anycolor's favor.The NIKKEI sees a 1.97% gain to bring them back over that 40k mark.Trading Volumes:Anycolor: 1.03 MillionCover Corp: 6.14 Million
>>93147030And here's a Cover graph for your reward.That's all for the night, leave any questions you have and I'll see you tomorrow. Stay safe out there soldier.

>>93147473>for most of 2024Averages won't work for "most of the year" or the few peaks where she did have some hit streams. From what I can gather, combined would be around 2k. She *could* be in the top 25, but not that high.

>>93148758Last HoloPro line in the OP
>>931481822357 would be the correct number, which would put kirsche at top 19 for 2024 according to >>93116763
>>93149843I did the same search with those two sites. That 2024 from Playboard is only for December 9th - 31st though, you have to pay to see more (the "Year" filter is to group by year, not load a full year). And as far as I remember, her YT viewership was lower for the first half of the year, until November with some very high CCV. The best way to check both platforms would be to have StreamCharts Pro, but I'm not paying for that.Anyway, this should be argued in /lig/. Things won't be perfect, he misses out on some people and might not filter all streams properly, but it's nice as a general reference.
>>93147473I'm not OG numbers anon (the one who made that top 25), I'm the one that runs the /lig/ numbers script, and I've looked into tracking YouTube numbers but YouTube's API is dogshit AND it's probably impossible to use it for free the same way I'm abusing the Twitch API, all these number sites likely pay google a not insignificant amount to slam their API the way they do. I could look more into it and see if it's not unreasonable especially since I only track indie chuubas with high-ish CCVs but the way we've been doing the daily numbers is basically just checking to see if Mint or Doki streamed that day on Playboard and manually inserting them. I've thought a bit about what to do with simulcasters and it probably makes sense to just add up the numbers, in fact I'm pretty sure OG has done that when I've taken the night off. I've known there's days where Kirsche would definitely make the numbers if I did that but I just haven't bothered with it, maybe I'll find a better way to do it in the future.
>>93150487>>93151617yeah it's worth remembering that mad bastard does these numbers and calculations manually so sometimes there's errors

>>93132368Strong Wrong Anon here, we're at the latter half now so lets see everyone's progress.ANYCOLOR KEEPS SLIDINGAnycolor stocks flipped back to the red today as the stock closes out at 2620 yen (-60) for the day. Today's performance started off somewhat decently, as after the initial dip in the red they would peak into the greens of 2700 before sent back down to gradually slide for the rest of the day. Another minor thing of note is that as of writing the Yahoo JP thread has 0% wanting to buy, although it isn't a proper representation of everyone's opinion. Anycolor's week now takes a turn for the worse as it is now a 196 yen loss overall.COVER CLIMBSCover manages to hold strong as the stock climbs up to a nice 2574 yen (29). Their performance peaked after a gradual climb to the low 2600s, but would temper and stabilize in the high 2500s after lunch. Cover still remains in the red for this week however, now only at a 54 yen loss.OTHERThe gap between the two is now in the double digits, with it only being 46 yen in Anycolor's favor.The NIKKEI spun it's wheels into a 0.26% loss for the day.Trading Volumes:Anycolor: 978kCover Corp: 4.49 Million
>>93205498And here's something right behind Anycolor.That's all for the night, let's see if that gap between the two shrinks tomorrow. Stay safe lads.

>>93217757Funny thing is that this kind of thing is fine on YouTube. Similar with Hunipop which is actually on the banned games list for Twitch but can be played on YouTube.

>>93132293Small timer CreonCrayon who was recently banned from Twitch for having an "inapropriate name" got her account back. No word on which language "Creon" might mean something bad though.

Have a good night folks.
>>93132293I don't want to link to the callout or those affected, as I figure the girl already has enough mental problems, but /asp/ers should be aware that someone has been running about stealing several small timer vtuber's identities by spoofing their names and logos.
