## Is it true that “VTubers lose momentum if they take a break”? TubeSaku analyzes activity histories from approximately 9,000 channels and 20,000 hiatuses

TubeSaku, operated by 有限会社GIPU, analyzed activity histories from approximately 9,000 VTuber channels to test the conventional wisdom that “taking a break leads to losing momentum.” The findings suggest that a hiatus itself is not a direct cause of slower growth; rather, view counts are more likely to decline because creators had been active at a high pace before their break and could not return to that pace afterward. A schedule of 4–5 days a week can be sustained, while excessively frequent activity is seen as the real problem.

Facts:
- Approximately 9,000 VTuber channels
- No posts or streams for 7 days or more
- 415 cases in which activity days after returning reached or exceeded the level before the hiatus
- View growth had a median of 119.7% of the pre-hiatus level
- 1,538 cases in which activity days fell below the pre-hiatus level
- It was 54.9%
- 80.4% of VTubers who had been active 6–7 days a week
- Video views rose to approximately 3–8 times their pre-hiatus level
- Based on 311 VTubers and V-Livers
