no idea who that is but the less homos, the better

>>172246 water bottle guy from THAT stream, just got Yugo'd for something dunno if we'll ever find out what that something is

noooooooooo he was Pippa's OG oshii

Remember when these guys were borderline 6 views? I really enjoyed their streams back then to, rip ike

>>172357 kek

Relatively new to vtubing. How big of a deal is this guy? I checked his YT page and he has almost 1M subs.

>>172624 He was debuted during a time when male Vtubers were not tried before in the English speaking sphere and as an untapped market, it exploded where it was proven females also had and was willing to spend disposable income on Vtubers. It pretty much catapulted Nijisanji up to definitively #2 in the EN Vtubing company space nipping at or equaling Hololive EN objective metrics in general at the time when the company was having their own arc with bad management. They all got real popular and it was to the point it forced Cover to respond with Holostars which was their male branch. The popularity boost was relatively short lived since it was noticed a good portion of the fans of them were from Chinese female women and as China got more adversely affected by economic conditions in the country with how they went through COVID lifting and etc. around the world, fortunes had changed. Anyways, history lesson over. He was the least popular of that generation but that still got him that kind of popularity which is really telling.

>>172357 No it was the other nijimale the anti-white racist guy.

Anyone who was a fan of his saw the writing on the wall for sometime. His constant breaks and absent participation in non-corporate events showed. Good luck to whatever he does beyond Niji

>>173033 >https://8chan.moe/vyt/res/172215.html#q173033 Yeah, but none of them expected it to be an immediate graduation and instant nuke of his channel.

>>172656 You left out the part where the ccp found out a bunch of people were sending money overseas via youtube and cut them off. When that happened that summer, luxiembux vanished (since they only used superchats to get attention).

>>172948 Naw, can't be Uki, seriously, UKI?

>>173052 This screams stealth termination but I can't imagine what he could've done to warrant that, very odd

>>173076 The only thing I can think about is that he wasn't easy to get ahold of and just went AWOL. They probably tried their channels in contacting him and not hear from him for a month at least, and he just continually did it over the years. They probably thought We can't keep going on with this and we are beyond our limit. It's one thing to not really be there but still keeps in contact like Petra, another to be a complete mystery.

>>172624 >>172656 And he became involved in a controversy involving one of his former coworkers that pretty much destroyed Nijisanji's reputation in the west. It happened right before he got 1 million subscribers and he lost ~50K over the course of a year. >>173033 It's kind of clear he internalized a lot of his issues. Of the three stooges I think he's the one who got the most relatively screwed over by his involvement. >>173052 >>173076 Livers can choose if they want their channel content to stay up after graduation. I'm guessing Ike waited out until the last minute before his contract ended then told the company he was leaving the internet and wanted his previous content privated.

>>173091 I don't think they have a choice with a sudden graduation. This is Yugo styled.

>>172656 Good summary. BTW to any newfags, this is what they were discussing in that one screenshot niji antis always share. Anyone with a working brain could see Cover released Stars as a response to niji's success. At that point homos really were more successful financially than Council, hence Fungus' comment >>173056 can you elaborate? afaik youtube has been blocked in China since 2009, so how were they sending supas and how did the party block it further?

With Shu's post going around, it sounds like it even caught his coworkers off guard. >>173247 They probably got around the region block by using any number of VPNs that still work in China. Of course the CCP probably tracked the absurd amount of money leaving the country and wanted to clamp down on it.

>>173342 >absurd amount of money leaving the country it was probably a few million dollars at most what a bunch of jews

>>173467 it makes sense to me. They don't want their chicks throwing away all their disposable income on foreigners who are lying and saying they love them. Not that i think a government should get involved this way but it's perfectly logical.

>>173467 They take money laundering pretty seriously because of rich people trying to flee the country any means necessary. Having a hole that big especially when it is USD and not Chinese yuan means that it is larger than it sounds on the basis of how much money is worth there. It is paramount to the CCP some billionaire or millionaire doesn't take advantage of it. >>174501 is just a bonus on top.

I didn't even noticed he graduated and this was a month ago.

who?

>>356761 Nijisanji basically is its own bubble in the west now. A sad but inevitable outcome.

H*lolive sucks

I heard he's coming back as a vtuber named Saba

>>356761 Kotoka also graduated today and nuked her live streams.

timeless reminder
