she literally says she gets the percentage off the supas and thats it, no bonuses and no stable pay
They do pay wages, actually. Not much, but enough to get you started before the Supas start coming in. I believe Coco mentioned it when she was getting screwed over in monetization.
I think he's semi-active in the owl Discord, though I haven't seen any screencaps passed around lately so I doubt he's saying anything interesting.
I'm not surprised since living off donations/superchats etc. is the norm for streamers so a corpo just doing a revenue share makes sense; the problem is the fish asking for so much extra work at unsociable hours. The odd meeting to check in or plan for an event makes sense but this seems excessive, and the extra man-hours for projects like the AI thing should be paid work, recording audio samples for the voice synthesisation is basically a second job at this point.
Zax jokes aside, she talked about it a bit back then. Pips used to actively avoid leaving her room meant she would have to deal with the roomie, who would hassle her over dumb shit. It's of course been a while but she was a major bitch who used to get snippy and be an asshole even when Pippa would try to meet halfway or offer to help if the rent was behind etc. UNLESS I've remembered wrong, but the woman was an actual cunt. One of those people who would follow her around the house and stuff.
Autism kicking in, but it was a school bus pretty sure.
I thought they did get a salary, but it was super minimal. Someone can come correct me as well, however I swore that someone in Holo was broke as fuck and barely managed for a while only because they had that minor ass check coming until monetization happened.
Dunno about the nijiniggas but holo does, even then im not sure why everyone is making such a big stink about it, phaseconnect isn't that formal of a corporation (yet).
plus i found a reddit thread with people discussing this shit. Its on me if fake and gay
The holo wages are basically enough to cover rent + internet and a beansprout-based diet. Aki had some rough times when she had all those setbacks starting out.
That should be expected in most companies of this kind. The only one I think didn't do that was Miao but he offered 100% of the supers and channel monetization to his talent, though that was probably because he knew the net income off of merch and more would be way higher if it was successful.
Being active in a Discord and being a roommate aren't exactly the same.
I can't imagine someone being rich and living in those conditions.
Merch can be very lucrative, as usually the cost of production is tiny and the expense is marketing. When you buy any product, you're not paying for the item usually, you're paying for all the work behind the scenes and the time it took to build a following.
I was about to say, between one of her AI art points being the "blue collar workers should just learn to code, but artists get mad when you tell them the same thing" and now this. I mean, it's tenuous as fuck, but I want to believe.
Oh my bad I am retard, I misread it as whether he was still around in general. I'm pretty sure they're not living together any more, iirc it was the dog that was living with Zax that died that time when she was going on break.
Wasn't it her Mom's dog?
