>so I don't really think that matters
Anon, why are you in this thread, then? I don't disagree with you, but this thread's premise was "Why isn't Ririka more popular". It wasn't "Why isn't Ririka happy".
If we are to talk about happiness, almost (if not all) every Hololive members are happy and make enough to survive. Even RBC who is a runt in many metrics still make enough to buy herself and her parents a house in metropolitan Tokyo. Heck, they likely make more than enough to survive (which they should, as Marine said: VTubing is a new and unstable field and we don't know how long VTubers can be popular so they better make enough for retirement if everything crashes in near future).
Anyway, I digressed, but this thread was about popularity and anons have been discussing about it. If you don't care about popularity, you shouldn't bother with it at first place.
