>anime isn't so widely popular in Indonesia
factually wrong.
Hololive copied the indonesian branch from nijisanji. at the time the country had all the general data to justify opening a vtubing branch there: lots of people + rapidly developing market + general interest in anime. even today every third holo fan or clipper you see on x is SEA. this is also around the time niji was opening other east asian branches (kr and cn). it was a "throw everything and see what sticks" strat that you don't see cover and niji does today.
japan is also a high trust society where the thought of a race of people hating their own kind as much as SEA was baffling. if Cover got popular today they will open a KR branch before ID.
