I found the clip and I'm currently watching it, I'm only 5 minutes in, but holy fuck
>Extremely negative reception from Hololive fans because they were a male group and got worried about their oshis
>No popularity at all, only had 10 viewers at first, they pretty much started from scratch
>They had to be VERY CAUTIOUS when they were doing anything, even just replying to someone on Twitter, because people went nuclear at the smallest thing
>Example : He tweeted something about FFXIV like "I'll be on this server!", and everyone asked him "Why this server?" and were making up rrats about why he picked this one
>Couldn't spend much time with genmates because their contents were way too different to collab or stream together, and they were too shy to even ask for collabs (took 3 or 4 months to finally collab)
>Anxiety reached a point where he couldn't sleep or eat anymore, and had to take meds to help
I didn't know things were that rough back then, I feel bad for the dude.
