>fuck it, accelerate anyway

I'm leaning more and more toward expecting Aviel to cash out and bounce sooner rather than later, because this isn't a strategy of someone with a long-term plan.
The recent Holo investor QnA thing did have me thinking about agencies and SIZE.

I think it was some comment in a livestream or on /vt/ I don't remember, but someone said that Cover was slowing down precisely because before when they were smaller, each new vtuber basically paid for themselves PLUS a massive surplus due to the earnings margin being small, but now that Holo has gotten quite a lot bigger debuting new vtubers doesn't really inflate earning/cost margins that much, it DOES bring in money but not nearly as much percentage-wise. Plus, each vtuber you debut makes the company more complex in all aspects, it requires more background staff of all types to manage, plan out events and man the studio. Also a company like Holo that does a lot of events hurts even more from this because the studio has a limited capacity. So their best strategy is to fortify the brand and sell merch, which is much more profitable.

But small-er agencies with surplus cash DO benefit a lot more from each debut, the scattershot strategy is a lot better because it allows them to mayyyyyybe get a big hitter and profit immensely, each debut basically doubles the earnings (with diminishing results) which is only if they are successful obviously, but then you come to the Ace of the spamming strategy: MERCH, if you have an established brand you can sell merch of any new debutant and get an instant cash injection, that's basically what Niji is forfeiting their entire EN branch on. The reason this strategy works on Niji and not in Holo (which pisses off the investor fags) is because Holo DOES spend a lot more money on production which inflates costs massively, if you do it the Niji way and spend as little as possible then it is insanely profitable.

In the end when you have a small corpo you don't have to spend gorillions on it, industry-standard models aren't that expensive for an entrepreneur with more than 50k, and you can delegate A TON of the managerial tasks to the talent for a lack of staff and their wages. The (wo)manpower is basically presenting itself to any grifter who opens auditions on a silver platter (as we have seen MANY times on this forum).

Tl;dr: It is very easy and cheap for small corpos to spam and the benefits outweigh the potential risks.

That's a feature not a bug.

Come the fuck on...
Did Airi tell the tech guy to kill himself again at least?

They didn't stream it this year, probably because of last year's incident:

Using big cities as examples of the beautiful parts of the US is retarded, they all suck.
Well yeah, no shit. The real beauty in the country isn't in some city. As San Francisco was mentioned, it isn't even the most beautiful area in its region as there's a whole bunch of beautiful redwood forests right next door.

He doesn't have patience, assuming he isn't looking to cash out and ditch the company. Meanwhile the fish has been fine letting the JP girls and Gen 3 still get themselves settled in. The most we might see from Phase this year is 3 more invaders so the company has 30 talents. He doesn't really need to expand anymore; they've cut out their niche in the community and maintained stability.

And the results of our first asylum census are in! I'm sorry to say this, but everyone who Miko'd me - you are all fucking
Not gonna lie - I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like saying this. I just wanted to thank everyone for being part of this REALLY fucking weird community. Gay as it may sound, you guys are like my little sun for a cloudy day. Giggling at work at all the stupid shit that gets posted always helps me get through a tough day. Even if we don't always get along, the autistic passion for overanalyzing relationships between socially inept women LARPing as anime characters online makes us all unityfags at the end of the day. Really, the only thing that ruins the loving atmosphere is that stupid fucking Miko sticker - can we remove that one please?

Sincerely,
Saejima Haruka

Aviel decided that going nuclear on her was not enough, is scorched earth time
the way he handled riro and now this, really makes me think he's a thin skinned bitch. Having a CEO prone to mean girl tactics isn't something you'd ever want :Vesper-UNHINGED:

This does check out but it's also part of why I think Aviel's gonna bounce. Rolling out new talent on a regular basis pulls in easy cash, but it also keeps them stocked up with a much larger library of intellectual property (exploitable for merch lines and licensing) which is the kind of shit that looks great on paper to a potential buyer. It's also practically unsustainable, but if Aviel's gonna peace out then the risks of compiling a portfolio of insufficiently-wrangled mentally ill women like secret cliques forming, self-destructive content decisions, stalkers and groomers etc. won't matter, they'll be the new guy's problem.

Honestly eating the local cuisine is one of the most important parts of going somewhere new :architect:, I absolutely loathe people who go to New York, Barcelona or Istanbul and have fucking Mc Donald's. That and going to museums/adding to my book collection is the best part of trips.

To be fair to him this kind of tactics is not new, back in the day Yagoo loved to do stuff like this but after Hololive stabilized he did not had to do it anymore (see Rushia, Coco and all the gen 5 stuff)

And people getting surprised about Aviel accelerating before ES debuted he literally told us that he has a shit load of talents ready to be deployed I was expecting some kind of announcement soon but not doing it just in the same day one of your disgraced talents is leaving just to spite her

Reposting this write up by user Forte from the Homeland who has made a rather concise (and to my eyes accurate) summary of the death of Yuko Yurei


Alright fuck it, farms image uploading is fucked, so we're catboxing this shit.

Meanwhile in news that I guess probably only I care about at this point, Yuko has finished her graduation streams, but I'll give a quick briefer so folks can catch up on this dumpster fire.
Yuko Yurei, previously Project Rye, was at one point Idol Corp's most populer streamer, with folks claiming that she might be a "Gura Killer". Now? She's graduating after having ghosted her viewers for about six months and then coming back to just peace out again, while reactivating her old account and vaugeposting. Her initial claim to fame was being an UOH no-no square-tuber with a heavy helping of degeneracy, "pent uppies"(Her term, not mine), and hardcore GFE just shy of Idol's other trainwreck who actually got fired for promising sex to her highest dono whales and who was porking her manager, Riro Ron. Disgusting and retarded, including encouraging piss jokes and at one point during a "lemonade" stream, writing dono names onto a cup, pissing into it, and then drinking it. Here's a sample of her members baiting:
https://files.catbox.moe/eovrh3.png
Well, she abruptly fucked off around... November? of last year, came back, deleted about 20 of her more raunchy videos, including ASMR where she masturbated, and declared that she no longer wanted to do that sort of thing. A woman moment for sure. The extra bullshit there was that she deleted membership content people had paid for with no prior warning, and even then, it all got archived anyway because anything you post online is there forever, but she's too retarded to realize this. This is a running theme with Yuko.
Anyway, writing has been on the wall for a long time, and the announcement came down a few weeks ago that she'd be graduating. This coincided with her suddenly speedrunning donation goals from her first and only subathon that she'd been sitting on for over a year and has been a big problem for pretty much all of Idol because these bitches don't actually want to do the work they promised. One of her streamathon goals was an OG song, which she released, except it was the size of a TV opening, so about 30-45 seconds. She also did her "Spicy ASMR" which was her eating spicy noodles. So basically doing the bare ass minimum in order to not get sued by Idol. This did not stop her begging however, though it did increase the levels of patheticness.
https://files.catbox.moe/er1pzl.jpg
The icing on the cake has been her vapid "final streams". If you wanna know what a fucking trainwreck her final stream was, this was the pre-recorded ending:
https://files.catbox.moe/010ojy.mp4
I will say, this does mesh with the already existing screenshot of her temp womb tattoo she put out well before joining Idol, so yeah, she's that kind of retarded.
https://files.catbox.moe/0rbjic.png
Anyway, we already have her groomers celebrating:


And in case you're wondering what kind of fine individuals her groomers are...

https://files.catbox.moe/a1w4z0.png
Anyway, she's already making an attempt to be like "lol I'm not gonna be working for Starbucks I'm gonna make it you'll see!" There was a stream she did, I forget under which of her personas, where she complained that she didn't want to go back to working for Starbucks. This has become somewhat of a rallying cry of her antis:

Which will be interesting given that her last streams barely broke triple digits in terms of money brought in, so it seems like all of her whales abandoned ship, even with her begging:
https://files.catbox.moe/w612xz.png
I suspect that tweet will age like milk.
Anyway, for a quick though unhinged tl;dr, have a copypasta from /vt/:
https://files.catbox.moe/6v3nra.png
I would be shocked if in a year or two she doesn't have her own thread, if she somehow doesn't abandon vtubing as a whole before then. I watched her a few times but bounced off her weird uwu coomies talk hard, so I'm glad I dodged this bullet...
