How strict is Phase management?
Phase has much fewer rules than Hololive about what they can say and how they represent themselves. There are a few rules that Sakana and management are strict on - stuff like not revealing company cuts or contract details, and revealing personal details such as names or what town/city they live. There also seem to be rules about not supporting political parties, talking politics or political news. Otherwise, they're pretty lax on how the talents can represent themselves and how they can stream.
Some examples of the differences between Hololive/Holostars and Phase:
- Potentially controversial streams are less curated - compare Noir Vesper's "AI dating stream" where the responses to the prompts he gave had to be approved by management before being shown on-stream, while Pippa just shoves prompts into AI programs and deals with the fallout after it happens.
- Phase Connect doesn't have a problem with drinking streams or alcohol
- Phase Connect talents will take stuff like autism quizzes or similar and post the results online, while I haven't seen Hololive take similar quizzes.
- Phase Connect handcam streams are much less strict, but talents can't show faces, genitalia and so forth, but the body from the neck down is fine.
- No Phase Connect talent has ever been forced to take a break.
Phase Connect management is also really good at wrangling the talents and convincing them of taking actions beneficial to them without forcing them to do it.
