Sometimes indie vtubers form small groups to get some of the benefits of a corpo without any of the costs, such as free advertising for eachother, finding it more easily to make group collabs, networking and so forth. There's no discernible reason why a reputable businessman like Fishman would want to isolate Clio from a friend group she formed before signing on to Phase Connect, or to stop Clio from participating in informal activities with them. In fact, it might lead to a small increase in viewers for other Phase talents, that get hooked on Clio from her Vershion activities and then decide to try the wider Phase Connect talent pool.
