You're being dumb with the clout-chasing concern, but your idea of "future plans for success" is very good so it isn't all bad.
Don't collab-beg or spam DMs, don't be a twitter replyguy and don't try to be a chat celeb in streams, because any of those would seem like clout-chasing (because they are). If you're mutuals, consider reaching out for a collab. Otherwise, try to go for bigger group events (that come about from the vtuber networking circles), or just stay on the sideline and see what they do/how they did it/what was mentioned for their applications (if the gen 2 girls do content like the gen 1 girls did for watching and talking about their applications) and take that information to improve your own application for the future.
Also, if you aren't already, get big into audio quality for ASMR/audio porn example material, that will make you seem more "collected" and professional (and might springboard a successful indie career instead, ASMR enjoyers
will watch your content more if it's well-edited and of a certain quality).
Don't compare to GWA whores for this, a lot of them just produce genuine lowest-common-denominator slop, you can do better than that. I don't say that as a command or threat, but as an attempt at support in a "build confidence" way; I want people to succeed.
All that said, you still have a bit until the metaphorical axe
actually swings down on gen 2 applicants, don't consign yourself to defeat before it happens. David's conquest over Goliath wasn't on the battlefield, it was in his mind the night before, don't be your own enemy and don't let your own anxieties eat at you, because you haven't seen the real results yet and can't know them until they come.
Keep your head up, but keep your nose down (and clean) and keep working if your application wasn't successful.

Am I misremembering something or is the one with the gyaru outfit and pink/blue hair canonically a futa?
I might be confusing with a JP chuuba who is, but I swear I've seen that model in that context before.
