Since there is not enough information I don't want to contribute to rrats but menhera might have something to do with it from Saki's side. It would be interesting to see if Brave Group/Unlimited will use another person for Saki's avatar considering this is a termination and not something they did stealthily like on Game-Bu and the first Domyoji Cocoa.
If a massive fagretard like under the mayo can beat it, so can you. Get good.
Its riot tho, the will take the evil path more often than not
Ame is holding it in and will release it during the Overwatch collab with Mumei and Selen.
The return on investment makes sense, but the spirit of a non-compete is supposed to protect employers specifically from having proprietary information taken away. Developmental knowledge is what is supposed to be protected. In terms of talents such as this, it doesn't really slice that way and, as I think you are implying too, a bit predatory on the side of entertainment companies. It's like trying to tell an actor they can't take another part because the experience gained while working on your film was proprietary. Those kinds of contracts may very well exist, but I think anyone would call it ridiculous.
Considering most Indies can't do shit without resorting to piss and penis jokes, I'm sort of happy that Vtubing is dominated by corpos.
With how the DN situation turned out I'm convinced that a lot of vtuber fans don't want to know about their favorite chuubas PL or roommate even if they graduate. Coco went from streams with 30k viewers to 2k ad kson. Same as rusia/ Michael cat / nazuna. I can't say for certain whether leaving a corpo is better or worse for them financially but to my numberfag brain it seems like it would be. Also as an indie I would imagine it would be very difficult to get the same amount of support; technical, financial, or otherwise for projects like 3d lives, concerts, and merch.
They're slowly merging into an inferior version of Shylily.
Because the corpos have to find ways to be entertaining outside of shit and cum jokes and hopping on every bandwagon. Most indies just follow the norm which never really works in their favor. Having limits like one would in Hololive means you have to use your brain in order to maintain your audience.
A Voltron of whores
Adding to this, her work requires her to travel between places sometimes to oversee their project directly. She cited that she could've gone full wfh but feels like it's still important to be directly involved overtime so if she still wanted to continue VTubing elsewhere, it most likely is just as an indie with less streaming frequency.
