With all the mid-level and above creators who wanted to make money migrating to Youtube, Nico Nico Douga was left with only those who do what they want to do without regard to profit and those who enjoy doing it. As a result, the awkwardness that existed at the time of the start of the “Crisis Award” has disappeared, and Nico Nico Douga now seems to have come full circle, with an atmosphere similar to that of the early days of Nico Nico Douga.
