Yuko was in hiatus since 28 December. She came back and announced that she doesn't feel comfortable with some part of her content so far. From now on she'll do different things, and private the old content she doesn't like (including in memberships). It is mostly about girlfriend experience and some gross bold content.
Her parasocial fans take it mad
and the rest you could guess

Reducing Yuko's graduation to "lol parasocial fans" is pretty disingenuous. Fact is, she came back from hiatus, removed old popular content and completely changed her content (which also involved not fulfilling promises from her subathon), going away from the most popular stuff... And all that immediately.
Apparently, she also insulted her fanbase, which is never a good look but especially bad when it's still your current fanbase (at least Nyanners waited until she got a new one, before she talked shit about the fans and the content that made her successful in the first place). And there may be even worse things involving some friends of hers. However, this is pretty much hearsay and I lack the morbid curiousity to find out if there's truth to any of it. If you're curious, people talk about it here:
The amount of content creators who can change their content, no matter what it is, so radically and still retain a good following is miniscule. Even the biggest streamers would get a non-negligible amount of viewer drop. If you want to change your content, you have to do so more gradually, so your old fans don't run away immediately and there's enough time for new people to discover your new content. The latter is the case even if you change it suddenly. Despite the initial drop in viewership, new fans can still flock to you, if you stick to it and have patience. Yuko... didn't really do that. Over the last months, she's done some typical gaming content, but there's not much of the content of her "new direction". A few Vlogs, a grand total of ONE outdoors video (which was supposed to be her big thing, apparently she even planned a hiking video with Pippa), that's it.
I don't know if her heart was never really in it or because it wasn't as immediately successful as she hoped... But she barely even tried with her new direction.
So no, it's not due to parasocial fans that Yuko is leaving. It's because of her own stupidity and inability to handle the situation. If she had done something else than GFE or whatnot before, the result would have still been the same. She's a great example of what you shouldn't do, if you want to change your content.
