We'll still have small 2-view agencies, but they'll be managed part-time by like 1 hobbyist who's skimming a tiny amount of revenue from a bunch of hobby VTubers.
The monoliths will be the only ones that can support all talents and a large staff as full-time workers.
Actually can we talk about this "monoliths". I'm strictly speaking about the EN scene from this point on:
Going forward the obvious candidates for monoliths are Vshojo, Brave, Nijisanji, Hololive
But NijisanjiEN is already dying, they are debuting new waves at 2 views. They will be debutting more 2-views probably
>that can support all talents and a large staff as full-time workers
NijiEN is definitely not in this category.
Brave is hardly a monoliths, it's a collection of small corpos. They haven't really pushed for any corpo-wide collaborations. Talents accross branches are not introduced to one another (you won't see the globie girls collabing with the VSPOen girls anytime soon). Except for throwing money into 3D and very segregated concerts, Brave hasn't showed much interest in terms of "unity" or "monoliths".
Vshojo main model is poach instead of supporting new vtubers. Hololive at best do 1 gen of 4 a year, and they are already slowing down recruitment in the ID/JP scene.
Honestly I kinda disagree with the era of monoliths sentiment. Since Brave is a collections of small corpos. NijiEN slowly reclining to mid-small corpo status. Mythos, Nexas, Miriam, Bond, whatever that new lore corpo is named, etc. are entering the scene and there are probably more and more small corpos are being made. This is still the small corpo era but instead of unity, everything is completely disjointed.
