Why does this thing have every single trace of a scam. They just put every single failed idea the vtuber industry have into one and using trump speech.
Summary of their launch page:
1. Winning, every other agencies is inadequate so join us if you want to win in life
2. Alternative platform, If you join us you are now forbid to stream on youtube and twitch, just like how japan was successful with IRIAM. We are launching Anilive for you to stream on.
3. No breaks, our goal is to make you get used to streaming daily, from morning to night
4. Accomplished CEO, Our CEO is harry same as the very successful NijisanjiEN's head of branch
5. Accelerate, our first wave consist of 20 talents and our second wave will also be 20 talents. Planned to release at least 100 in the upcoming months.
6. Positive discrimination, we don't believe in equal opportunity, "we actively support those who demonstrate a high level of engagement and ambition"
7. Talent freedom, but not in the way you think, it just means you can do whatever you want, we will provide 0 guidance or support.
8. Tuition required, unlike JP VTA, US VTA operates on a revenue sharing model, same as any other corpos.
9. No salary, we invest initially and expecting to recoup it. "Individualized support for each person will be less", whatever this means.
10. we are "the anime" of vtubing ?????????
11. Envision, the top talents will be eventually gathered, graduate and ascended into our new agency. This new agency is at the envisioning phase, nothing concrete has been set up for it.
I am half convinced at this point it is a parody because there is no way something this bad can exist and that 20 people already signed up for it. Or that filian agrees to be associate with an obvious scam like this. Unless she is actually revealing herself to be a grifter also
