The story
On “Morning Coffee,” the 5ch board dedicated to Hello! Project, speculation is spreading after posters noticed a certain Hello!-otaku YouTuber’s interest in Hello! Project content seems to be fading. Comments included sarcastic jabs like “At the end of the day, these guys would sell their souls for view counts,” along with pointed remarks suggesting he’s drifting toward topics that pull more views, like Juice=Juice (“Milk”), since “you can’t rack up views with Hello! Project.” Others countered that “Hello! Project’s been starved for content since forever,” pointing to the group’s own lack of video-worthy material as the real issue — leaving posters split on whether this is a YouTuber’s personal attitude problem or simply a symptom of Hello! Project’s thin content pipeline.
What people said
↓
He's also said many times that he wants to talk about Juice=Juice for the views.
And that he hates talking about Rosy because his viewer count tanks whenever he does.
Why not just become a Juice=Juice ("Milk") fan already? Apparently they're pulling like 100k views.
He just picked it as one topic among many for content.
LOL, that hit a nerve.

All anyone says is "it's going viral!" and that's it.
New songs come out like once a year, and these are live-focused idols — you can't really get why they're appealing unless you go see them in person.
If you're just watching from home, there's seriously nothing to talk about.
Kunio's impressive in that he'll dig into literally anything, even with how little there is to talk about in Hello! Project these days.
Hello! Project's been starved for content since forever.
The agency's clueless about social media and just puts out the same formulaic Hello! Station-type videos.

A 23-year-old slender, big-chested type who looks like she could be in ℃-ute

That's just a natural move for a YouTuber to make.
Kunio, on the other hand, is not a regular person.
No regular person uploads something like 12,000 videos, every single day, for five years straight, lol.
How do you even find that much to talk about with Hello! Project, lol?
Yeah, Kunio really is an outlier among Hello! Project YouTubers.
Most YouTubers' commentary is just "this part's so amazing~" and nothing more.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
This board, known as “Morning Coffee,” is a 5ch forum dedicated to Hello! Project, and the activities of YouTubers who cover Hello! Project (the roster of groups including Morning Musume。’26 and Juice=Juice) regularly become a topic there. Behind this thread lies a structural issue: compared with other talent agencies, Hello! Project has a lower frequency of new songs, live streams, and other exposure, making it hard for YouTubers to keep finding fresh material. Within the thread, two viewpoints run side by side: sarcasm aimed at YouTubers who’ve started prioritizing topics like Juice=Juice or Rosy that tend to pull more views, and the counter-argument that Hello! Project itself simply lacks content to begin with — posters are split on which is the real cause. It’s worth noting that no specific YouTuber is actually named in the thread, so this remains speculation and commentary on an anonymous board rather than confirmed fact. Several YouTuber names, including Kunio and RYOMUSIC, come up for comparison, but these too reflect individual posters’ subjective opinions.
