It's literally just the guy who has always numberfagged Pippa streams, he spams it constantly, he was doing it months ago as well, it's just a rinse and repeat and loop the same topic as always, that being Pippa has fallen off and then nothing ever really happens. If she was really obsessed with getting super numbers she'd do cop cam react streams, that shit gets like 5K but people don't want to hear that.
My take on these group collabs is that Pippa is just bad at them, and it doesn't really help that her audio set up for them is awful she makes herself quiet and everyone else super loud, if you really don't care for anyone outside of Pippa these group collabs are just kind of bad.
I'd say it also doesn't help that the first hour and a half of this was extremely scuffed in one way or another.
The scuff/delays are the biggest CCV poison out there, because the average attention span is even less than you think it is, and there's a sidebar full of other streams that will load up faster than it'll take them to fix the problem with the game. It sucks because sometimes shit literally does just stop working out of nowhere and there's not much you can do to mitigate it, but we're in an environment where corporations take huge hits in business because a tech issue makes their website take a second longer to load. That's just how people are, and all you can really do is take the L and hope the next stream goes better.
Someone on pcg pointed it out but it doesn't help that the last few weeks have been a mess one way or another, so her coming back and going right into more collab spam was bound to set some people off.
There would be someone on /pcg/ bitching regardless of what she did this week, let's be fair. I agree it's hard to get excited for big collabs when we've had almost nothing for two weeks, they're always her weakest output, but anything that happens following a break is going to face more scrutiny than usual.
I just really don't like con season in general because it throws everything out of whack, which I feel hurts Pippa's stream performance in particular as for the longest time her consistent timeslot has been one of the biggest reasons she's had such an engaged fanbase. I'd bet most of her regulars don't even look at her tweets/notifications etc. most of the time, they just know they can load up her channel at a specific time and there will be a stream. This is an
absurdly valuable situation to be in in online entertainment, because it means you can keep reasonably consistent numbers without having to go out of your way to chase trends. But in order to maintain that, you can't break the chain.
This is something that is genuinely getting worse as Phase grows, and while I don't want to be a miserable cunt about it because the concert was fun and it's great for the girls to have these opportunities, the regular streams are the bread and butter, and Phase as a whole should take extra special consideration in making sure there's as little disruption to the regular programming as possible during company trips. Unpredictability is how regulars drop off, and you become reliant on less-enthusiastic drivebys.
