General Thread v3: The Hexagone

[White Stone]

For an employee sure. For an hourly contractor, if you make it during your billed time, sure. Vtuber talents are neither, one relevant factor for independent contractor status is that you use your own tools and have control over how you do the work. She couldn't own anything that depends on Cover IP like characters models, sure, but she could absolutely make things like VR environments that she owned herself and licensed to Cover, or that would revert to her after a set period, because that kind of deal is absolutely normal for a creative working as a contractor.

I think Ame's home 3D studio is a good example. She built it during her time in Hololive using the money she earned via Hololive, and used it for Hololive work. Yet she gets to keep it as an indie because it is owned by her and not Cover.
I remember people saying back then that Cover should have provided her extra funding and supported her in building it. I argued against that point for this exact same reason, if Cover had helped her back then they might have demanded for ownership of the studio.

(Interesting note: Her home studio probably lead to many teamates being caught off-guard by her not-graduation announcement. Many people thought she wouldn't graduate anytime soon since she was still constantly working on her studio which they considered as Hololive work. In fact, she talked about working on it like 5 days before the announcement. Many teamates didn't consider the possibility of the studio being used outside of Hololive work.)

Her English teacher, who is also a Flip, taught her the Jolibee jingle.

It's Lumi's birthday

 

[Abomination]

It's Lumi's birthday today! Happy birthday Lemon Woman!

​

This'll be the fourth birthday she celebrates as a vtuber, the third that I've been around for, and the third birthday I've been able to celebrate for someone I consider my "oshi."

It's been a great year for her. She's celebrated 100k subscribers and released her first EP, along with many other big and small events. I don't know if she'd consider it her best year of vtubing, but it really has been an amazing one. I look forward to more amazing years to come.

Thankfully, her birthday stream is on a Sunday where I don't really have much going on, so I should be able to be around for most of it. Should be a fun day. But of course, in typical Lumi fashion, she was about 30 minutes late to her own party, lol.

Happy birthday to her! I hope the coming year will be even greater for her! And considering her recent and upcoming "idol training", I can only imagine there are great things in the future for her, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Heard some rumors about Loki's current member stream. Anyone able to confirm?

Spoiler

If true, then Loki has successfully convinced Sakana to free up IRL content. As a result Sakana is allowing it Phase-wide. Some members will do it and some won't.

The remaining restrictions are: middle face must be censored (hair and ears are fine) and no nips/panty shots. Rest is fair game for those that want to become 2.5D

Loki fought with Sakana because she doesn't mind showing her real face, but Sakana stayed strong with that restriction, insisting they're still a vtuber company.

Her IRL content will include but not be limited to workout videos, vlogs, travel, hair styling etc. She is also planning more sensitive stuff for members-only, likely to include lewd oppai cosplay.

Cosplay streams in general are members-only(maybe with few exceptions with collabs) because thats how she funds them. From auto TL and her drawings I can say at least some of the rest are definitely true.

Honestly considering how this slag normally acts I didn't question it being her for one second.

They definitely don't have to roll back the whole website, the content is never gone. There have been examples of years old videos deleted by the creator being reinstated. It's extremely easy on their side. Right now the channel is almost certainly only "hidden".

I heard years ago that youtube keeps a second archive of stuff uploaded just in case someone deletes something from their channel they can still review it, but in the context I had heard about it it was in regards to channels getting guidelines strikes against them after TOS changes that make some content/topics risky and a creator wanting to stay in good standing deletes the questionable content so they don't get struck only for youtube to go look at their upload history, find the questionable content that they just deleted and punish them retroactively for it despite the clear intent to stay inside the lines.

You know, how a fair system works. Next thing you know youtube will pre-emptively give you strikes for thinking about uploading content that breaks the rules, because no society is truly running at peak efficiency if we're not prosecuting thoughtcrimes!

Any company that lets their talents post shit like this needs to have their staff lined up against a wall.

The "talents" are free to go, for what they're worth, they'll provide service in the ways they're accustomed to. (whoring)

Phase is dead

 

[Nenélove]

Phase is dead

Phase is more alive than ever! They will pioneer a new style of vtubing! Vtuber-less vtubing! Now with 100% less pesky avatars!

 

[sbm]

I can think of at least two talents in Phase who will only go through with this if they have a full cosplay matching their avatar ready.

What kind of job do you work every day, late evening to early morning, but with short shifts?
