The old adage applies: don't try to fix what isn't broken.
What's even the point of doing this other than unlocking gift subs? Saving 5 bucks a month from a gift sub is not worth the risk of YouTube fuckery.
The Vesper and Magni redesign/update would have slowed down new outfits, same thing happened with IRyS (Fuck the IRyStrocrates were obnoxious, even after they heard she was getting a redesign)and Nene, they typically wait until the base model is set before wasting time on new oufits. So really Axel and Altare got indirectly/directly fucked over in all of this by Randon and Lando. This could includes their 3d models, I don't know where StarsEN are in the timeline for 3d.
I have always wondered how much members have to do, how much is company mandated and how much is personal project. Though I imagine big events are mostly mandatory, except there have been a few times members missed them for health reasons. But then you can do an Ame and sing an easy song and just shuffle side to side and the fans are still happy, which doesn't sound too taxing.
The merch thing is interesting, I thought one of the JPstars talked about it, but couldn't find it. If I had to guess it's safer for the talents in regards to sales volume, the more custom merch require multiple steps and more money to produce. Trying to look into, some random said they will get custom merch for milestones.
This Yamanba can't stop digging.
Bro is in a chinese prison as we speak.
That's just re-writing history though. Just go back in time, they tried a bunch project streams, they had such a great dynamic, it all disappeared and then Vesper got suspended. I get it's hololive, but nothing about Judge Magni or Wheel of Tempus deserved getting banned by managers.
It's unsurprising they don't do big event streams because they don't have the hololive community anymore, but if you're not allowed to do creative streams in hololive, and you're not getting paid as well, why stay ? If all they're allowed to do is play games and free chat, they might as well do it by their own rules.
I'm sure it's all pre-recorded. Mumei is supposed to finally be returning to Civilization Duties, so I imagine she needed to get back for school.
The only thing I can remember about Holostars JP and financials is they actively don't want overseas fans giving them money as a main source of revenue (but I have no recollection what clip it was and who was talking about it, so don't take the following too seriously). In order to get sponsorships they need to have local presence and be talked about, they want to have their own concerts but without companies willing to pay for it it's not going to happen regularly. To get a lot of promotions from cafe, amusement parks, local brands etc that girls get to establish that using them as advertisement works, they need to have a lot of local fans demanding for this. And when 90% of your money comes from overseas none of this is going to materialize. So while it's totally fine on individual level for your personal income it will not help Holostars as a brand to grow and get bigger reach, leaving them permanently in the shadow and essentially fighting for scraps. This actually applies to chink fujos as well not just EN fans
Happiness twice as much as Sadness
Sadness is Vesper and Magni leaving
Happiness is 4 new Holostars debuting.
New Channel because they would be the Rival Guild for Tempus
(Or maybe Futuristic Guild as opposed to Tempus' Medieval fantasy?)
OR
2 Developers within the company are debuting models a la A-chan and NodokaIf I was going to spitball, I'm guessing the "DEV" implies developing... something? The underscore implies the title is like a filename, but the IS... fuck I can't wrap my head around that at all. We literally just got Advent, so it's not a girl gen, and if it was a new boys group they wouldn't make a new channel just to promote them, when they have the Holopro channel already.
Twice the fun!

IDK, man. Let's just wait...

Doesn't matter what this idiot does at this point, he's probably already blacklisted from working with any VTuber company worth a damn, maybe even beyond that if it went viral enough. Nobody likes contracting someone that then tries to take a shit on your reputation. Now he looks like a dumbass and a pussy for dropping his principles the moment they caused him trouble.
Very bold of Hololive to give the Islamic State its own VTuber group.
Not really but she seems like the type to date really skinny guys and appeal to them with the whole dommy-mommy thing.
The first time I check her coomer ASMR content (don't really give a shit about her appearance) I'm not going to marry or date her. When it comes to ASMR, her coomer content is very good. Well produced, well scripted, and in the cases she does the multi-voice layering it really works to give you that fuzzy lower neck feeling you usually get from good ASMR. My main issue is that all of her content seems to be of the same type (domination) and it's not something I often like or go for.
I feel like she fucked up when joining PRISM and either didn't read the contract or greatly overestimated how much money she would be making as a Vtuber under that company.
The last time I heard about this femboy he was crying because people were telling him that he looked like a meth addict. Not sure why the fuck people pay attention to him or what he has to say but then again you people seem to bring him up whenever he has a brain-dead take so I guess you people are part of the problem.
Pretty sure he was in the 100-200 CCV range
Pretty sure most of the other Holostars do this as part-time and they either have a main job/income source somewhere else. They have never been too big either other than Roberu and Astel. The EN boys have been a huge boost overall for the company. With them, a bunch of the JP talents got a slight bump in subs/memberships and by far when it comes to revenue the EN boys have been the biggest. Talking in numbers, they have done in 1 year what the others haven't in 3. Even the Tempus 2 boys seem to be doing better than their JP counterparts.
The fuck you on about?
They can be more open and they can play whatever the hell they want. They do have a recognition buff now and even the bigger indies will want to collab with them so it's not all doom and gloom for them. The problem will come on What will they do with that buff they got? Will they let it run out and fade as they fade into obscurity?
Its not about being hard.
Other than Vesper who still wasn't too comfortable with his singing, Magni did a fair share of karaoke. Additionally, they all were taking singing lessons. The problem wasn't the singing.
Called it. To fight back against the hate they got for last year they decided to overcorrect by nominating Gura (which most people mentioned) and letting her win despite this being her worst year (when it comes to streaming) because she has been MIA for the majority of it.
Edit: Holy shit the comments on the Tweet give my an aneurysm. Half of the people as mad because "They are giving awards to AI". The other are Twitch faggots that dont know about Youtube streaming. A few others are screeching that this is pedo bait.
EN management maybe did it or the staff heard all the bitching and moaning last year and decided to auto-nominate Gura
1.5 on a Sunday at a god-awful timeslot. I think he would've gotten more money under Hololive simply because of the free promotion. People tend to underestimate how big branding is for promotion purposes. The perms thing + revenue split + constantly having to tiptoe around what they say + overall lower audience than the girls all probably added up.

These types who value "labor", "industry", "pay" over craft is why the whole cesspool works like that. They are enablers of these cutthroat practices that the industry has imposed on them and that's when they go full tall poppy syndrome (unknowingly on behalf of the industry) on people who would gladly do passion projects over financial gain.
Iirc the first whistleblower was Astel when he talked about it on his membership stream, then Rikka on his zatsu because it was around his birthday week. There's no english clip but there's talk about it on twitter because of the livetweet for said stream.
I also think it's their way to cut costs since obviously they're not being given enough budget as much as the hologirls do, as for custom merchs milestones I recall there were already such things back when they're still putting out merch on BOOTH (here's one for Oga's 40k subs+half-year debut celebration)
Which reminds me, the JP subunit they recently announced (which then gets overshadowed by magni+vesper graduation announcement) was funded personally by Rikka himself and they've been carefully teasing it for months up until now which explains why some fans are rightfully pissed about the timing for the EN announcement
They had a song release prior to the unit reveal too
This is mostly true and it's why they've been amping up local/JP-limited event appearances a lot more over the years, they used to have online fanmeet during the first years, then it gradually changed to offline meetup once the pandemic limitation was lifted up. Getting international recognition is good for exposure but ultimately Japanese corpo had their own bullshit way of running their business, which is why Niji seems to be a massive success in Japan even though their presence on the international market is just slightly below hololive
The BGM in this clip got me feeling like I just dropped acid.
Also I feel like TVA uploading all these clips to Rumble is going to accidentally inject that site with some actual entertainment instead of wall-to-wall too-hot-for-YouTube politics.
Cover saw Idol gen 1 and are planning to show them how it's done with Hololive ISrael*You just need to look at his dumbass face to see he's just another frustrated wannabe that hides behind the "critic" label because he could not cut it as an artist himself. Of course seeing someone like Calli busts his nuts harder than C&BT, same as 99.9% of people that can't help but bash her work. If she was so shit, people would just laugh off her attempts and go on their merry way, but it's like the Wojak memes: NOOO you can't be an anime wigger and be successful; meanwhile she's like "Guh! C-man and lean, big ups! *Downs box wine while writing like 15 songs, scraps six and sleeps three hours before starting another stream*"
That... doesn't help at all.
If I was going to spitball, I'm guessing the "DEV" implies developing... something? The underscore implies the title is like a filename, but the IS... fuck I can't wrap my head around that at all. We literally just got Advent, so it's not a girl gen, and if it was a new boys group they wouldn't make a new channel just to promote them, when they have the Holopro channel already.
*currently under DEVelopment
I make these clips unlisted, but I do have like 60+ karaoke and other stream archives public there tho.

People still going over "ethics on Vtuber journalism" or whatever the fuck
I'm just going to enjoy my doggos in peace.

I want to defend the "Idea" of GG winning being fine because it is not inherently a numbers game, but the opposite is a Kaela and I would be glad if Kaela won too.
I watch a couple of Vtubers, I have no idea who or what the fuck nostalgia critic or awesome channel are.
AKA That Guy with the Glasses. He is a critic that makes fun of bad movies from his growing up years. Used to be a big thing back in the day. The schtick got old. Like Critical Drinker, but far less funny.
