^ It's not so much the fact that Miku is popular, but the idea that she is overrated, or overused, and that Producers continue to use her because she ultimetely get's more views on videos than any other Vocaloid. This is the sad unfortunate truth of Miku's fame; it is not that producers don't use other Vocaloids but that most Vocaloids will never get as many views on their songs as what Miku gets (Do note I do say most and not all).

Is this controlled by Miku? It's not controlled by her physically no but her existense ensures that her fame stands provided that there are still hundreds of fans glorifying her.
