All we know is that the music must change, (for we’re chewing a bone. We soared like the sparrow hawk flied, then we dropped like a stone. Like the tide and the waves growing slowly in range, crushing mountains as old as the earth, so the music must change).
Unofrtunately true.
Even then, it’ll only take you so far. And also useless for instantaneous or even recent metrics.
Yes, with the caveat that most people don't qualify it like you did, and just say "Merch is the biggest deal, who cares about supas, anyway, lol!" without looking closer, where you suddenly see that merch was consistently bigger than streaming revenue for Holo since mid/late 2022, and while streaming revenue is nowadays relatively minor, it's still a doubledigit percentage of its income, and no business interested in profit would randomly ignore 10+% of its income sources.
The intern they had shilling on that account must have graduated, too.
Even 2-views say on a regular basis that they're surprised how much they earn from merch. I'd say 2-view with good creative merch can make more than high-3-view with nijisanji-level sloppy shit (hello Idol)
They haven't released the q4 report yet. It should be out June 14/15
Wow, that account still exists?
If fucking ankimo still exists then anything is possible.
Clearly something happened between Q3 & Q4 of FY 23, but I don't remember what was going on around then.
I'm honestly with the rotting fish filet here, flipsie is a fucking nuisance and has done nothing but clout chase and grift, building up his entire career literally off of a single drama. A parasite if I have ever seen one.
Yes but isn't it fun to watch a parasite latch onto someone you hate? It's like the Simpsons meme of the two monkeys fighting.
Don't pretend that you wouldn't have wanted to send the same sort of message as him.
I honestly don't hate any of the Nijis or the company for that matter, I was never invested in Niji's growth or its downfall. Their current situation is of their own making and completely unrelated to me, in short, my hate is wasted on them. I just like making fun of them and specially their fans.
Oh I 100% agree, I think flipsie should do a flip because they're a worthless vtweeting grifter and I enjoyed Niji in the past. However I enjoy watching NijiEN suffer because EN branch deserves to burn, there's no fixing it unless they are prepared to jettison nearly half the branch.
I feel like this is one of those situations where effort isn't going to do anything unless they fundamentally change how they conceive of and relate to the concept of an overseas branch. Which I don't think they have the level of ability to self-reflect to pull off.
I can't remember who he even is, I just think the tweet was funny.
