I can't wait for her (and everyone else) to ignore Calli literally making a statement that goes against this narrative.
people watching Cali? :medsl:

Edit you know what fuck it.

All these graduations make sense The only person I would be shocked to see leave is Cali MAYBE Kiara but thats only because Cali is getting records and deals she would never dream of as Dice and Kirara can arguably leverage this into being the idol she wants to be and is putting in extra work.

I don't see Ame Fauna Mumei Gura or anyone else doing that heres the real Rrat

:cursedbae: The "differences" is Cover is ramping up to have more of a presence in the English branch wants it to be exactly like the JP Branch (because every other branch failed) and the girls bailing because they are here as streamers first with the idol stuff being a fun thing on the side :cursedbae:

JPs have given the same reasoning though.

A handful of catalog-neighbors are currently on Kiwifarm's vtuber board.

Don't know what to tell you, my man. You could go make another extremely retarded corpo bad tweet about it like with Mumei.
:botanshrug:
I was way ahead of you on that one.


Whatever issues you may or may not think that Hololive currently has, Gura isn't evidence for any of it. She's been mentally clocking out of working at Hololive for the last two years, any recent issues with management or a change in company direction have little, if anything, to do with Gura's upcoming announcement.
Everyone here knows it would happen. As Calli and Gura also said, this was a long time coming.

DISAGREEMENT
WITH
MANAGEMENT

STRIKE AGAIN
1744781886257.png

"One final project"
Does NIjiEN have any events going on that she needs to destroy?

All jokes aside, "disagreement with management and company direction" has cost Hololive 3 major EN talents in the past ~6 months - Gura and Fauna even explicitly mentioning that they love streaming and being an idol. If this was happening in literally any other corpo people would be rightfully worried about what's going on behind the scenes. I'm not saying this is the "a"-pocalypse (Gurapocalypse?), but things are getting seriously out of hand and I really think anyone trying to downplay "disagreements with management" as not being a big deal are on some serious copium. The biggest vtuber in the world is leaving a company that was likely making her hundreds of thousands of dollars a year - getting her in baseball stadiums for fucks sake - and that was accepting of her incredibly inconsistent schedule. She could have told us it was burnout, or health issues, or any of the other myriad of reasons people have speculated were behind her frequent absences... but she didn't. She pointed to disagreement with management and company direction (which as others above me have pointed out is probably in large part referring to the insane delays on her orisong). This is not normal, and we shouldn't have to act as if it is just because Hololive is still, by almost all accounts, the "best" corporation in the sphere.
This is just a generic all encompassing term the PR team thought of that could mean anything from "revenue cut lowering" to "we have to stream certain hours a week to get paid" to "Takeshi the upper management was caught in the dressing room sniffing the sweaty 3D suits". Calli said that it is never one thing and most likely than not just a bunch of small things that add up.

As Pippa predicted

EN VTUBING IS OVER, ALL WESTERN VTUBERS ITS TIME TO STREAM ON TWITCH AND ADVERTISE YOUR HOLE ON ONLY FANS FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF YOUR SOUL

:beatanimug:
Bit sad to hear the yabbit be depressed.

"Predatory cuts of revenue" - besides the upfront cost of the model and resources, Hololive's revenue cut pays for talent management (and with very small manager-to-talent ratios), studio space the talents use for events, merchandise management, among other things. Hololive also gives the talents access to events at a scale that no other vtuber corpo is capable of running, and an audience size that no other corpo has.

If you want to be a female talent that combines idol work and streaming as a vtuber, Hololive is still the place to be.
I understand the Revenue cut is there to cover costs like the new studio and other events they set up. That said I wonder if they might be pushing to increase the cut in favor of the company. Yes the company offers you a lot but if you as a talent earn around 1/3 of the money that comes in and they suddenly want to bump that down to 1/4 after you have been working for them for multiple years and have grown, I can see how that shit would cause anyone to leave.

I have speculated that back when Nyanners/Silvervale/Veibae left Vshojo it was all due to the corporation wanting them to take a pay cut.

Ah, there it is, thanks chief.
:gloomiLaugh:

AH yes, Gura needs a break after her 2 year break.


I said in the Holo thread during Mumei's death spiral that Holo will likely end up just being for the absolutely lifeless grinders that want success over everything else and I keep being proven right.

These retards talk about there being other options but there has yet to be a corpo that can offer the same opportunities as Holo but without the problems, whatever other option there could be is not the same. Streaming on twitch as an indie and showing your ass for money is not the same, joining vshojo and being "le totally free" is not the same, even if you save up and try to set up your own events you're never gonna get 50 other chuubas to do it with you in front of tens of thousands of live watchers.
Agreed. No corpo will offer you the same. At that point you are better off just hiring a manager or a team and then going solo. Maybe signing an exclusivity contract with a streaming platform if they offer it. I wonder why she didnt go affiliate though.

Maybe the secret to Vtuber longevity is hiring uber autistic Sea women from Southeast Asia who can stream 48 hours a day and not even flinch.

I'm pretty sure Affiliate contracts are offered at year renewals or whatever they do around the time they were signed on.

Chloe debuted in November and was probably signed on in October or September.
Ame debuted in September and from what I remember they've said in the past that they watched the Aloe situation go down before they debuted proper so August/July would've been when Myth was all given a final contract to sign for passing auditions.

If only people posting stock graphs also included the general trend of the market for context. Most lines in JP I saw from a few cursory glances are down today. Anycolor also went down today (not as much as Cover, but it's following the market trend).
