I really can't see this process working for much longer post-Selen drama, unless they really shake up their recruitment process. Niji no longer offers the numbers or the business opportunities, and as we saw in the CyYu clip they aren't willing to be flexible with maintaining "past life" activity at all - so why would anyone who is already established join? They'd be back down to 3view status, have more restrictions and bureaucracy to deal with, while handing over a cut of their revenue for the effort.I've been wondering about the differences in the recruitment process between JP and EN branches because when it comes down to it, they're essentially taking similar paths (hiring known internet personalities and those within their circles, maybe a literal who once in a while) but JP manages to coup more success while EN keeps trying to shoot themselves in the foot just because of few mismanaged situation
It's actually absurd how much Niji clamp down on work outside the company compared to Hololive, when they offer so little in exchange.
