Poor Rye, she probably lost half her paypigs after that move
The problem of Rye/Yuko is that she was inconsistent about what she wanted to do. Like she was this girl that was a MILSIMvtuber like Sleepy, then she becomes corpo/brat/gura like character, then suddenly becomes a GFE ASMR/piss-lewdtuber only to do a 180 pivot and try to focus on making normie-wholesome content, causing such a whiplash that destroyed her income.
There is no issue with changing the focus of your channel, but you need to be clear in the route you want to follow and do this in a smart way. Deleting all the ASMR membership streams (that people pay to see) was one of the most retarded moves I have ever seen in a streamer trying to rebrand her channel, there were better ways to do this.
In contrast, you don't need necessarily had to like the Vallure girls, but it is clear they know what route they want to take.
An honest whore is better that a hypocrite one.
Here's a clip from the Sickin Sickka stream a few days ago that I think is mainthread worthy
Pippa is coping, she is not Gawr Gura, but clearly she is slowly becoming one of the most know vtuber in the EN sphere. For fuck’s sake, she is in some way the mascot character of Phase Connect
