She had a two week suspension for "breaching contract" (Testing her L2D model on her own channel in unlisted videos iirc). Just after debut. That shit stunts growth, especially during the whole "vtuber boom" era but Aloe would've still had a dedicated audience (all me btw, I liked Aloe). I find this speculation rather pointless though as It's all water under the bridge now and Delu is doing just fine by herself.She would probably have been the top of her gen, if I had to guess, but I don't think she would have gotten to Suisei popularity. I think Holo5 still would have been overshadowed by Myth, still, but it may not have hurt as much as it did coupled with losing Aloe.
I'm not sure what the fuck Kay is doing, at least for adding Rushia and Coco they had time to have enough of a fandom/memes/referential material about shit to make into a character. Coco went out with a bang and is fondly remembered, even Rushia was part of their most popular gen and still has people posting about her to this day despite what happened, Aloe had like 2 streams and then left after her 2 week suspension by Cover. The most he could get out of this is taking references to Delu and trying to disguise them as Aloe material but I'd rather just have small references to Aloe at that point rather than roommate-posting: the character be added.Sorta related, but does anyone else think Kay Yu should not add Aloe to HoloCure as a playable character? Like the references are fine, but Aloe dipped out of Hololive after 2 weeks and she was suspended for the entirety of that time period.
