Hello liggermen it's that time of the month for the top 25 Twitch liggers and top 5 youtube liggers. This month sees the addition of Matara Kan to the tracking as the most notable event as well as the slow start of the summer season. As usual, all twitch numbers are from twitchtracker and all youtube numbers are from playboard, and to qualify for listing a minimum of 3 streams for the month need to happen, which means unfortunately Anny and Vei did not Qualify for this month. I also did a manual calculation of Onigiri's numbers to remove her flesh streams from them, and that led to her being just under spot #25.

NOTES:
>The vtubing scene right now on twitch is extremely healthy going into the summer, with independent news outlets stating vtuber viewership on twitch is at an all time high, and this is going into a period that is one of the better viewership times of the year. Some things to expect is to see daytime liggers get buffs, see lulls during holidays and con weeks, and expect the male vtubers who are on the list to have a slight bump up, for some reason they always historically do better in the summer months.
>Now that we are in the post Sinder Event era, we can see where the wins/losses gains are at. The biggest obvious winner is Spite, who has capitalized on her momentum to crack the top 25 for the first time ever with a 87% increase in viewership. Shylily also is remaining strong with the best two month period she has had since summer 2023. Bao and Vienna are listed as downs, however they are still over 20% above their 3 month average before the sinder event happened. Overall, the girliepops have reaped massive viewership benefit and are going into the start of summer on a very high note.
>Camila is a huge up at 56%, the combination of returning from time off with a new outfit and streaming in a timeslot where one of her biggest natural overlaps, sinder, is now dead has really given her legs. Cottontail is also up, mostly due to rating from the charity event and her birthday. Expect some correction for these two next month viewership wise but they will likely still hold strong.
>Our biggest downs for the month are Nyanners, who is down slightly from post-outfit debut hangover, and Matara Kan, who took a bit of a debuff leaving vshojo but is in better shape currently than other member's drop offs from leaving in the past. I'd imagine they will stay around these numbers next month as well.
>Also down is Mint Fantome, whose youtube monthy average was 806ccv. In her case having old karaoke vods running while she is on vacation kind of killed the monthly average, she'll likely rebound next month.
>Youtube side, Nimi continues her dominance with an eye to the future of the potential numbers Sameko Saba will pull whenever she finally debuts. Peo and Kirsche both scored over 2k viewership this month as well, and the indie scene on youtube feels like it's starting to gain momentum. I'll be keeping a closer eye on this category because I may possibly need to make it a top 10 by the end of the year.
That's all i have for you liggas this month, catch you next time
