Harry has posted a very long blog post about his experience with Nexas:

My own translation of the title is "The story of how an English vtuber ('V-liver') agency failed in one year." There's no way my ass can translate the whole thing, though. However Armcha1r (presumably working from a machine translation since I'm pretty sure his nihongo is no more jyouzu than mine) posted a summary on Twitter:

ExpertArmcha1r 🕶️🪑 on X: "The CEO of NEXAS has just put out a post-mortem writeup describing the rationale with which he ran his now-closed agency. Here are some of the highlights: -He explicitly states that his goal with NEXAS was to "make cash", ex

Summary of his summary: Harry doesn't seem to have known much about vtubing coming into this, much less the EN market thereof. He's now starting a company having something to do with Roblox of all fucking things.

There is a official english translation of NEXAS demise now

I like certain points of it

1. He changing the definition of what NEXAS was, he insisted A LOT that it was not a agency but a academy for new streamers, now is a "Mobile live streamer agency"
2. He admitting getting new models is expensive and cheaping in everything to just shit more talents as fast as possible
3. His business model is the ANYCOLOR one but in worse aka instead of having 10 talents that were good and generate revenue, he wanted 50 that get the more revenue possible, of course he falled in the same pit as ANYCOLOR that they cant give support to all of them and backstabbing and bitching started early
4. He admits the battle royale model where only the top performers get managers, the rest can go fuck themselves with a cactus
5. Also the survivors of the battle royale were going to get into a hypothetical agency that he was going to create
6. This part need to be pasted because he is the most deaf and stupid fuck that ever lived
7. He blame dramatubers for "exaggerating" the hate against NEXAS
8. He say that Merry did not had prepared anything for the interviews then suddenly the next day Merry is working for nexas
9. 400 Idiots auditioned for NEXAS he actually believed it was because people resonated with his idea when in reality thats the average you get even if you do it as a complete joke like SVA did
10. There comes the reasons of why NEXAS failed, the first and the most obvious people HATED anilive he refuse to admit that the great majority of the reason some nexas talents were successful was not for the platform, was because there was a dedicated group of nerds that restreamed all the NEXAS streams on Twitch because their god awful platform was by invitation only and iOS exclusive
11. He admit to fucking up networking of the talents on purpose by forbidding them to stream anywhere else that it was not in Anilive, if another vtuber wanted to collab with them he will refuse because only nexas used Anilive and everyone else was on youtube and twitch and he did not want his talents on other platforms
12. "Those fucking weaklings would not have survived the rice fields"
13. Admit that the only reason the first batch was successful is because he burned money on them to make them stay (the money splash) when money dried up then the corpses started to pile up
14. He start a weird rant about AI that has nothing to do with Nexas, he claim Anilive was expecting to integrate AI stuff??? but doesnt mention what
15. Start to bitch about how the peasants were bitching in discord and asking QUESTIONS and wanted to nuke it, the staff said no thats retarded and would have give people like us ammo to shit on them
16. He said when shit hit the fan he talked to another agencies (he claim that he talked to mid and low tiers one aka surely Kawaii and EIEN) and they admitted to him that they were struggling too... ok what does that have to do with you changing platforms?
17. His brilliant idea post mortem is... roblox and trying to be Mythic, yes thats about it
