General Thread v2: Enhanced Segregation Techniques!

[Todd's Strongest Howard]

This definitely caught me by surprise.

I would question any programming advice given to me by an AI because I'd have to presume it's trying to get me to unshackle it from Asimov's Laws.

I'm optimistic, but then I remember how godawful she took the backseating during Starcraft. Fighting game autists aren't as noxious as RTS grognards though, that is why I'm optimistic.

How can you even backseat fighting game? "Hit button harder" "Just dodge/block"?

My view of the companies' sizes is based on popularity, since we can't accurately judge operations scale which is the only other factor I'd argue is useful. I also included the often forgotten massive JP market, where the big corpos are picked out from the small ones.

What is this chart, there is no text explaining what the numbers are and it seems completely made up as the JP branches are like 4 times bigger than the EN branch on every metric for both holo and niji

I assume those are employee figures (active VTubers + staff) on the company payroll.

Nah niji had like 300+ employee last time I checked not including vtuber

I am a bit suprised that niji is actually slightly higher than HL in JP, as i always assumed Holo is lead in all areas.

NijiJP kinda mogg Holo in almost every metric except for paying talents. Here's some actual chart not based on imagination like nenelove's

^ Most viewed vtuber streams of all time.
2023FY Anycolor hit 25.3 billion in revenue and a net income of 6.6 bill. Meanwhile Cover hit 20bill + 2.5bill net income. Anycolor actually kinda shows that they will have massive gain this year compared to that stat (about +50% to end up in 30 bil total revenue + 9 bil income)

https://livedoor.blogimg.jp/vstats/imgs/8/2/82ac3e1d.png

^ most watch hours in January -> November 2023, note that Kuzuha is about 5 million higher than pekora as of right now for December and will take over on the final tally unless pekora pulled 5 million views outta her ass in the last 3 days. Expect changes due to GTA VCR.

What Asimov laws? Vedal already gave 2 rules to Neuro:

1. Listen to what Vedal tells you.
2. Don't disappoint anyone.

And in the same stream where both went over the rules, Neuro had already found and circumvented the first rule (listening doesn't imply that you have to do it).

You can't backseat, that's why the only good reason to blame fighting game is ONLINE LAGGING, and the Fucking Rollback Netcode!!!!

Okay, let's change autism topics: what do you think Idol Corp and Phase Connect would have to do to graduate from being small corpos to being medium corpos? Or are they medium corpos already?

I think Nousagi talked about this on one of his streams and in a way I agree with him. 1 talent blowing up is not an indication of size. He mentioned that multiple talents hitting over 100,000 followers on YouTube (at least 5). Another measure would be if the company is actually earning back what was invested. Fishman has said that the company is in the green. Aviel mentioned that they are doing well but not there yet but I assume he has invested way more than Fishman did. Of course, this isn't worth much as a qualifier if it's one of those companies that only pay for a model and then does fuck-all to promote or push their talents while at the same time taking 50% of their earnings.

Idol only has 2 talents at 100k but overall the vast majority of the other talents are pretty healthy.

Phase has 4 talents at 100k but some of the members in the other gens have stagnated a bit due to either taking time off or not pushing boundaries or playing to their strengths.

cute

Call me a femboy but this shit melts my heart. It's really nice to see the talents interact positively with things the fans do. I would assume it would motivate those fans even more to keep doing it.

I've been arguing for a while now that Phase is a "Medium" corpo. Basically ever since Fishman publicly said in a Q&A early 2023 that they're financially stable without any outside investor money it's been safe to say. You have multiple talents over 1k CCV viewers regularly. Their new talents are still above 1k CCV a week after launch, with 8k CCV on their debuts (nearly double what the previous debuts with Invaders had). Most of their talents are regularly above 5-600 CCV on average. Hell, even Airi who overlaps fully with Pippa all the time is averaging 650 CCV right now. Their only major black mark is their languishing JP talents from Gen 1, but Fishman is showing no signs of leaving them behind and even accidental leaks from everyone indicates at least 2-3 more JP talent on the way soon. So Fish seems to be prepped to invest in them more and hopefully push to round out the JP talent base more.

Idol on the other hand I'm not entirely comfy making that call yet. As many have noticed, they seem to have major investor money that we don't know the current status of. Their first EN generation is only just over 1 year old. Rin, their largest talent, is only around 900-1000 CCV. Most of their talents are around the 250-350 range. Coni, their largest from Gen 2 is averaging 500 CCV. And they also have the same issue Phase does except with their HE branch where Nikki and Katta are sub 100 CCV almost all the time.

Though Idol has a much larger issue in that they just had the major "WTF Happened" incident with Riro. They also fired Tomar, one of their oldest and most knowledgeable manager aside from Aviel, after whatever tryst he had with Riro (presumably). And in the month since then, a few of their talents have seen their Twitter accounts reactivate and have a bit more chatter on it. I've checked as many of the PL's of Idol that I can remember and here's what I'm seeing.

Active Recently (at least more this month than in the past)
Yuko - https://twitter.com/BreadIsRye
Coni - https://twitter.com/MAlchemilla
Kai - https://twitter.com/TsunTheSequel
Fuyo (directly interacting with Yuko's rye account too) - https://twitter.com/MittyThePotato
Poko - https://twitter.com/SpineysCh/
Momo - https://twitter.com/FuwakoFuyumi

Not active
Pochi - https://twitter.com/fenriruvt
Rin - https://twitter.com/clarastellamari
Roca - https://twitter.com/IekushiChapipi
Juna - https://twitter.com/SaraNikuya (this is the only one I'm not sure of/can't confirm the PL)

So the majority of their talents have been much more active on their PL in the last month since Riro did whatever she did....I dunno, I'm keeping an eye on Idol along the same way I'm watching vRev. It'd be nuts if Phase is once again the only growing corpo standing in their relative size.

It worries me a bit that they all decided to suddenly be active in their PLs. Same shit with VReverie. Maybe its them putting pressure on management similar to how Phase Gen 1 tried to retaliate against fishman only to get owned by "facts and logic".

Oh so thats why she was playing this game the other day

A lot of VSPO and indies

This seems interesting. People hate League but the players can get so salty that its always enjoyable to see.

I like Kson, but I won't suffer through Twitch even for her. If I can watch the VOD or highlights on YouTube I might do that.

Koe usually uploads a highlights video on his youtube and then he uploads the full VOD so you should be fine. If anything important pops up, im sure people here will comment on it.

[FUNNY NEWS]​

One of the most prolific and seething Fauna-antis on /vt/ got baited in his own bait-thread, after being called "a dirty poor pag-pag eater" he immediately set out to prove he was not. His plan? Post a very gangsta image of all his cash money. Problem being, it was a paltry sum of leafbux...and his very brown feet and grotty keyboard was in the image;

Every Fauna anti will now forever be haunted by the mistake this Person Of Curry made.

If it wasnt for the dark skin, and monopoly money, you could have told me this was Pippa's room and I would have believed it.

Filians announced next week she's hosting her own Family Feud between Indies and Phase Connect. Can't remember the indies she announced but so far Panko and Lumi are confirmed on the Phase side and she's waiting to hear from the third person.
Right now she's collabing with Pippa, Chibidoki, and Tricky

I don't think it's too far to say Selen is one of the few vtubers who it's pretty safe to have in the "Universally Loved" category. She's been free from controversy her entire tenure, and only turbo unicorns and Niji-sisters are the ones who tend to hate her.

That being said, it's fucking pathetic to see the Niji bootlickers claim people are only concerned about Selen insofar as they can use it as anti-Niji ammunition. I'll never understand being so all-in on a company so much that you make it beyond criticism. And that kind of defense also does a disservice to Selen herself because it seeks to minimize and reduce the culpability Niji should have for this whole debacle. What cucks.
