Anon, Hololive doesn't have any "low performer". Every single of the Holo girls, even the lowest performing JP, even the ID girls, all of them are at the absolute top of their field completely dominating their respective regions in every conceivable metric: subs, VOD views, live audience, donations revenue, merch sales, you name it.
Hololive has over 40 channels over 1M subs with all of the branches represented and the "lowest performing girls" in that metric would be in the top 50 of the industry if you removed the rest of their agency from the rankings.
Now the Holostars, they're at the exact opposite side of that, they're the LOWEST PERFORMING MALE VTUBER AGENCY created before 2023 of all of the major players.
Right now Brave created some stinkers like YUMENOS and globie but, even then, the Holostars manage to compete with them in the low performing competition and sometimes even "win" (by having a worse performance).

Here are how much the holostars underperform, and how much the holo girls overperform (to drive that point home)
Example 1: Choco created a sub account back in Dec 2019 because of monetisations problems with her main one. When that account was created the Holostars had already debuted their gen 1 and gen 2.
Then Choco solved her monetisation problems and started using that account to spam ARK and archive undesirable content she didn't want in her main channel.

Now, here is the punchline
>Six years down the line (almost) and the ONLY holostar that beat that account in subs was Roberu.
Regis is currently ahead but Choco sub account peaked at 306k subs meaning he STILL didn't beat it.
(more examples to come)

There is no possible comparison between how much the holostars underperform and the holo girls regardless of relative performance.
