Outfits can now be sponsored with logos and ads. We /f1/ now.What would a /vt/-sponsored outfit look like?https://x.com/cover_corp/status/2003073502585442581
the enshittification of hololive
>Selling ads directly on outfits of lower performing membersHoly fuck
Aki regularly collabs with eSports males that commonly wear shirts with their sponsors and suchThis was probably her idea and not something cover forced onto her
>>107907138That is fucking dystopian. Is vtubing really falling off so quickly that even the bigger corpos have to resort to stuff like this?
AKI SEXENTHAL amirite?
>nowKorone has an outfit sponsored by Sonic
If phase gets this they'll probably get sponsored by blacked
>>107907254This. But you know, people here dont watch streams.
Nothing new. GamerSupps logos are on half of large indie vtubers new outfits now.
Watch niji immediately do the same, btw
>>107907287If Mori gets this she should be sponsored by horse breeders.
>>107907280Big difference between a corporate collab and 'please pay us to slap a sticker on this already made model'.
This reminds me of Kson’s durex outfit, kek
>>107907138>mfw when I'm buying an ad for my oshi on another vtuber>>107907287kek

>>107907287Holofags really have dropped off. I guess thanks for thinking about Phase rent free.
>>107907153>>107907163>>107907256>>107907349>>107907357>mindbroken nice
>>107907138thats cool, its getting easier to avoid vtubers by marking them
>>107907138That's kind of fucked up, they're just talking billboards now
Apparently she pitched this idea in 2022 but it wasn't possible until now, which is why she hasn't gotten any outfits since
>>107907349Now that I think about it, how did the whole Mori fucking horses thing started?
>>107907572Someone used an AI voice replicator to create a story in which she fucks a horse. Pretty simple.Her having a cowboy outfit added to it.
>>107907616Damn I thought it was something taken out of context from an early stream, or some shit.

Fuuuuck I’d take part in crowdfundig 4chan logo on somebody from HoloEN
>>107907138aki in a man united jersey would be kino
>>107907138*skips an ad*
>>107907138Good for Aki. She needs all the help she can get.
Remember when Hololive was about cute girls hanging out in Minecraft? I remember.
>>107907138>PUBLIC COMPANY
I feel like you could do something cool with this
>>107907287Hehehehe
>>107907138>What would a /vt/-sponsored outfit look like?Ahegao hoodie of the talent wearing it, obviously
>>107907138Lmao, this hobby is so fucking cooked
>>107908467Aki wants money. Since she's not courting gfe anymore she has to get that bag some other way.
>>107907513uh oh, holodrone melty
>>107907287LMAO
>>107908532You can really see how different audiences behave and how you need to be mindful of courting an audience that is aligned with your goals in Hololive. Aki's viewership for her new outfit was abysmal compared to how she does in big server male collab stuff, which became her main appeal.It is a possible path for growth, but don't expect that audience to give a shit about typical Hololive events. Don't think the GTA RP audience will translate to idol fans.
>>107908699Aki has never been popular, some sporadic growth from an atypical audience is better than nothing.
>>107908729I'm not saying it's bad, just that you need to make sure you want to do what that new audience you're finding is expecting of you. She seems happy enough, but Ririka tried to backtrack hard, for example.Nerissa is also struggling to sell every new set of merch she releases after prioritizing twitter shippers over her original fans. You need to make sure the people you're courting are the people who will be there when you're doing the main thing you want to do in your career.
I know it's the logical path for a corpo but something about this feels wrong to me. If the girls are ok with it more money to them I guess.
Green on orange looks so good
>>107907163The new direction of Hololive is constant merch shilling, advertising, and sponsorships. Actually not that much of a surprise in 2025 they have started having outfits dedicated to certain games and companies. Having an outfit with actual sponsors logos on it was the next step and Cover is running a business.>>107908239>Remember when Hololive was about cute girls hanging out in Minecraft?That is ancient history and the future is Hololive talents running around in lingerie shilling you products in HoloEarth.https://youtu.be/w8c2urR_7Dw?t=1897
This stuff is fine if it is in good context like racing streams or sports events. Anything else is too obvious
>>107909084I've never had a problem when it was something they were interested in. Take for example Korone's Sonic and Sega promotion. She spent 2 years playing through a bunch of their games on and off and having a great time with it, and then got invited and paid to do a sponsorship. That's cool. Stapling on ads to an outfit of a streamer because they got paid to put them there is retarded, and the kind of people asking for or defending this likely wouldn't care if there was an obtrusive box in the corner of every stream with some kind of rotating ad.
>>107909084>and xyz is running a business.tried and true apologism served up hot and stale on the channel.
>>107909130>>107909084watch stream>proposed by aki.retard aki wants money
unironically soulless what the fuck
>>107909449>collab with males>become soullessyeah...
>>107907138KWABOTY
>>107909568>debut male gen>become soullessyep...
>>107907357This will essentially be a corporate collab with Aki, too. The only difference is that Aki is asking for this first instead of the corporate side
>>107907513>MindbrokenMore like everyone laughing at shameless money grabbing
>>107909824>sponsor>money grabbingretard
>>107907138AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAFeels good being a PHASECHAD
