Someone posted an interesting analysis of the new VTuber botting situation...

Someone's been botting Nijisanji and Hololive, and the bot farm has some interesting new features and obvious patterns
- no longer forms a sine wave pattern
- follows raids
- switches targets if the streamer doesn't raid, sometimes crossing from Hololive and Nijisanji and vice versa
- connects to a streamer slowly, forming a linear increase in viewers
- doesn't disconnect when a streamer starts post-game superchat reading when most viewers tend to start to disconnect (this is an obvious botting red flag)
- follows the raid till the end (this is also a botting red flag)

One obvious target of this attack has been Biboo with her sudden gigantic surge in ccv, but it's been all over the place.

Someone did a breakdown of HoloEN superchats, and it reveals some interesting patterns.

Obviously timezone determines the sources of superchats, because they can only be given during livestreams, but there appear to be other possible insights.

Assuming unique superchatters are an indicator of audience size, some interesting insights:
- Most of the US HoloEN members have either a disproportionate US audience or a 'balanced' audience
- Biboo has a growing Thai and Southeast Asian audience
- Shiori has a surprisingly large Filipino audience
- Bae, IRyS and FUWAMOCO have a disproportionately huge East Asian audience
- Kiara is growing a Korean audience, she likes K-Pop and expressed interest in learning Korean
- The new 'Holo Europe' members are growing a European audience

From r/HoloStatistics, Hololive tracked Superchats / number of Streams / new Memberships for 2024 using cleaned data from Hololyzer.

Note that Hololive's revenue is only 25% from streaming, and most of it comes from sponsorships and merch instead. Also, the way 'members' are tracked are 'new members' via popups in stream, so renewals aren't possible to track.

Freshly graduated Aqua takes the top with $560k superchats and 24k new memberships, especially with her record breaking graduation stream. FUWAMOCO was actually in the lead until that massive stream, but ended up at number 2.

One surprising thing is the rest of Advent is performing super well and in lockstep, with the rest of them within the top 1/4 earners, outperforming many JPs. They had the huge boost of their first 3D live this year.

Chloe and Fauna, also top performers, will be leaving this year. And Aqua and Ame left last year, so this will be a huge hit to their revenue.

Koyori streamed every day with 546 streams, and she literally streams to relax...

That's all the info I can gleam from this.
