Tribalfagging and its consequences have been a disaster for the vtuber race. It has greatly increased the profits of bigger vtubers , but it has destabilized the vtuber community, has made life unfulfilling to vtubers & their fans, has subjected vtubers to indignities, has led to widespread psychological suffering (in PL accounts to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the virtual world. The continued development of the vtuber industry will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject vtubers to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the virtual world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may even lead to increased physical suffering with roommates.
I believe Zaions story, or rather I want to believe her. As someone who is not a big fan of niji her story fits the narrative just too perfectly. However guys...
DON'T LET YOU TRIBAL ALLEGIANCE CLOUD YOUR JUDGMENT!
This is a "HE SAID--SHE SAID" situation.
We have Zaions (Sayus) truth, yes "her truth", and we have "the corpo truth", which does include her former colleagues.
Read the actual document before posting.
Notice that there is no actual EVIDENCE given? There is no smoking gun! The only thing we have is a few discord screenshots, but the names and everything has been covered up. So there is no way to verify this. This may just be an inspect element edit for all we know. How do we know her manager was a new hire? How do we know that niji promised her a bigger profit margin than what she currently got? How can anything in there be verified? It all goes down to "just trust me bro".

Some of you guys are throwing out words like MLM without really knowing what that word means or how those schemes are structured.
That MLM accusation comes solely by the fact that niji didn't pay her a salary and/or for her debut. Well we have no evidence that Hololive pays for your debut. Consider Callis debut:
Who paid for the the art? Ina made it for free
Who paid for the animation? Watson / Calli made them for free.
Who paid for the MV? Calli wrote it herself, made the movie herself , and the guy responsible for the sound design is
kokoro beats, someone who worked with her
"Demondice" for more than a year .
Watch the debut, remember her PC couldn't handle the smoke effect and her model was constantly stuttering, clearly they did not give her a streaming pc.
So what did Cover provide for her debut? A model and a manager to train her-
this is the Industry standard.
There is no
hard evidence that cover gives a base salary (the clips from coco that supposedly prove that ,do not refer to salary but to memberships). We do know that Fishman gives his talent a base salary (that is probably the only reason the jp branch hasn't quit yet), and that the Jewish Corp pays for equipment and ads for your debut. They are the exception not the rule!
