They did no such thing. I didn’t say it’s hard to form a band (obviously) or that’s hard to form a virtual band (the Archies go back to the 60s or 70s IIRC).
Bandoei might have formed a virtual band but they’re not streamers. They’re in the same market of PLAVE and Strawberry Princes and, arguably, of Gorillaz but what Hololive does is completely different.
What makes Hololive what Hololive is is the interactivity of the entertainment they provide. Without that Hololive would just be a regular music label specialized in virtual artists, but they’re not that.
