a relatively big name goes indie and everyone immediately assumes phase wouldn't even be in the top 3 options.
what is phase doing wrong and how do you fix that perception?
>>
Why would someone big name join Phase Connect in the first place?
>>
>>115208193
they probably don't wanna walk on eggshells their whole career because if you or anyone around you says the wrong thing on their personal accounts, the fans will harass your family until you die.

how big are we talking? mari and clio were already 4 views when they joined, nitya was a 500 ccv stream
if you're asking why mint/nimi/whoever the fuck doesn't join its because they already made it theres no reason to go corpo

>>115208193
>what is phase doing wrong and how do you fix that perception?
Pippa kinda fucked them over because her method of getting popular now means they're stuck with the perception of the /vpol/fag's choice of vtuber corp, and shit like Jelly having a melty over an educational version of Minecraft having a chapter about the US civil rights movement, or their fanbase (allegedly) chasing out a member because she said she didn't give a shit about Kirk getting his throatussy opened up on personal account, isn't helping their rep
Phase is also just a kinda small dog with a loud bark, they're honestly not that far off from a lot of English micro corpos that popped in the early 2020s up like Tsunderia, Production kawaii, Prism Project, etc with the only difference being that they managed not to die. Phase's fans like to joke(?) that they're 2nd/1st biggest english corpo in the West, but the reality is most of their members struggle to top NijiEN, and that entire branch has been on life-support ever since Selengate

Knowing all this, if you were indie with multiple options, why would (you) go there?

You have to understand that in the current VTubing landscape, a corpo with at best low 4view and average mid 3view audience is just straight up irrelevant. The number of indies in this view bracket is insanely huge, so to stand out as a corpo you really need to exceed this somehow, which Phase has failed to do. Just think about how many indies in this bracket you’ve never watched or heard of? Phase is in the exact same boat really, if not for this board I would genuinely know nothing about them other than their political shit which turns off any normal viewer.

>>115209407
It's all speculation until a corpo announces a new gen. Holo and Phase are the only two non-meme options

Come on, even *if* she were to join Phase it would make more sense for her and phase to join as an invader with her IP and channel rather than leaving behind her model and 440k subs channel to start over again from scratch.

> hololive merged and nobody knows how it’s gonna be for non jp talents

Hololive is still in the English market. They hired a talent who is fluent in BOTH Japanese and English. Hell, they even included two other JP talents who know English at a decent level, with one wanting to learn more.
Also, I do genuinely think Hololive will be debuting one more "true" english-speaking gen/unit in the next 6 to 12 months. I have actively asked to be grudgeposted on October 2027 if nothing happens, and the offer still stands. I do think Hololive EN had been planning one more gen for the merger and we will see it soon. Nene Amano's graduation is very sudden and no - we would know if she was going to Phase IMHO, Hololive is the best choice one should strive for within vtubing, and even the merger doesn't disprove this. Sure, its possible they may now focus more on talents that are bilingual over purely English ones, but I have a feeling that Yagoo knows what he's doing.

Also, while you focus on Microcorpos, I noticed you left out the third big option:

>Brave

Yes. Brave gives the image that their corpos are mcro, but the truth is that they're part of a bigger umbrella. Is it not doing well? Of course - Globie is dead, and v4mirai is falling apart with the departure of Mariya. But they still got Dr Nova. and thats not counting Brave's true ace - VSPO. THE third biggest corpo globally after Holo and Niji. Sure, VSPO En may be seen as 'seperate' from VSPO, but the truth is that both are still under the management of VSPO greater. I do think a bigger talent should gun for Hololive if they really want the idol dream, but if you're a girl who just wants to shoot shit and look cute while doing so... VSPO may really not be a bad choice, especially for EN.

Lastly
>Phase is the only company that was stable and existed for more than several years.

Hot take: Vshojo also seemed like the only other western company that seemed stable and existed for more than several years. And then gunrun ran with the money, and we saw how everything was coming apart within it. I'm not saying Phase is the same, and perhaps Fishman knows what he's doing, but I prefer to be skeptical.

Phase is unironically what they always accused Niji of being. Quantity over quality. There's like 40 fucking girls in that company. Joining Phase is like jumping into an ocean of piss, you'll never stand out.
>>
>>115210181
you literally proved my point by only showing ASMR screenshots. Tell me, why don't you show a pic of her Empress streams? Why not her Divinity 2? I will even let you post a FOTM game like Rhythm Heaven Groove

>>115209007
>Phase is the only company that was stable and existed for more than several years.
Phase literally doesn't pay enough.
Nearly all the girls have to get side gigs to survive.
>>
>>115210413
Phase is more stable than VShojo simply because they take half of everything their girl's make. VShojo was supposed to only take a cut from merch and sponsors, but tried to take all the merch and sponsor money (and charity money) before it collapsed in order to stay afloat.

>>
>>115210624
ASMR barely make ad revenue because it's expected to turn off midrolls
>>
>>115210614
Like I said: perhaps Fishman knows what he's doing. Still, I think >>115208692 is also very right. Even if you remove the /pol/ association, they are not called the "sad girl company" for nothing. Do I like to watch Marimari? Sure - she is one of the few Phases I do watch, but I also do think there's a reason why they cannot really rise.

If I could give a good example of what they're like... they're like Chumbawumba. Yeah, Chumbawumbua is famous for a specific one hit wonder back in the 90s, but the truth is that Chumbawumba is a anarcho punk rock group that had put out a lot of antiestablishment and pro-anarchist content that would be considered offputting to the mainstream. If Gorillaz and Daft Punk is Hololive, Phase would be Chumawumba. And most people would like the few key offerings of Chumbawumba but stay clear of most of the content.
>>
>>115210687
I guess it's a good thing she makes tens of thousands in superchats/streamlabs every month then
>>
>>115210915
Then why post a screenshot of ASMR viewership, or even bring up her subs?
>>
>>115210935
Do you know what NTA means on 4chan?

>>115210611
So like most of Niji then

Because for a sizable indie with big dreams they don't got a ton to offer. If you want to do basic stuff with some support it's something but that's it. For bigger things you need bigger orgs
>>
>what is phase doing wrong?
Not curating the audience they attract. You have opposing ends of the polfag spectrum all under one roof, and it isnt to sing kumbaya.
Too much nepotism. Exists everywhere but Phase let it get out of hand. Phase management is ass, and if you believe the BS that sakana met managers on LoL you might be a tard.
Phase will never see a big hire like Clio or Mari again. The only people entering Phase now are likely going to be desperate fags hanging on the companies coat-tails.

Nice moving of the goalposts. I proved they’re active subs and now you’re like “what about their least popular content”? Like ok if you want to do that then take a look at this, it’s also pretty comparable to Nene to be honest!
>>
>>115211232
Honestly Nitya is a pretty good pick up, don't really watch a ton of phase but her content is pretty good and she streams during a holo dead slot (Kiara timeslot). I think the problem with Phase is they don't have a any representation in the largest market in Vtuber (JP) Look at holodori revenue, it's mostly JP. Even most of Niji EN stream that what I assume is a JP addience.

The problem is that the JP market is as saturated as the EN market. Perhaps even moreso because its JP. With that in mind, its harder for an overseas corpo to break into JP, especially when there's so many groups in Japan. Vshojo tried, and we saw how that panned out. Phase is trying, but they're up against so much. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Dot Live is bigger than PhaseJP specifically. (And if you don't know what Dot Live is, you really need to do your reps. Especially for the dolphin)
>>
>>115211415
Yeah Pippa here is consistent. Her ccv doesn't change much. Can't say the same about Nene on anything that isn't ASMR. Also you didn't prove they're active subs :3
>>
>>115211737
>Vshojo tried, and we saw how that panned out.
Vshojo barely tried to break into Japan, for more than 2 years the japanese branch barely existed only as a scheme to try to get holos to jump ship, by the time they actually tried to break into the japanese market vshojo was already deep in the red
>>
>regularly gets streams that are 10x an average pippa stream in vod views, even her non asmr streams get around 10k

The only thing that can convince women, especially women in the vtuber space to quit their cushy well paying vtubing job is to idolfagging and unlimited merch works. Hololive is idolfagging harder than anyone else and they have connections to anime studios and merch manufacturers so their talents can have anything they dream about made while having massive idol concerts watched by millions. Phase has neither of these, they're a mid tier agency carried by a few talents. Over the years they havent pushed into idolfagging or delivering merch on time, they just exist due to the momentum of their original talents.

So when they ask yourself, why dont girls quit their indie identities and join phase? it's because phase is too unambitious and low level for them compared to Hololive.

>Vshojo barely tried to break into Japan, for more than 2 years the japanese branch barely existed only as a scheme to try to get holos to jump ship
I mean that kinda was their "plan" on breaking into Japan
They spent a fuck ton on those "Talent Freedom" ads and tried to snatch up a every former HoloJP member they could
On paper this was good idea cuz you're basically adding popular vtubers with an pre-existing and willing to spend fanbase into your corp, but it kinda blew up in Gunrun's face because Coco pivoted more into doing IRL stuff while leaning more heavily in JP-only content when a huge aspect of what her popular in Holo was basically functioning as a bridge between HoloJP and it's english audience, he took on Rushia but that was DoA from the jump because she got exposed for being married and a bunch of other drama. Ironic their most successful venture wasn't an former Holo, but Pikamee
By the time VSJ actually started trying to developed and rise their own in-hour Japanese talent, the company was already circling the drain

>>
>>115212789
They had a chance to pivot their identity into something more performance-centric. Their crab-in-a-bucket online audience didn't want to accept it
>>
>>115208193
Phase is in the top 3 but it's nowhere close to hololive. If you are talent qualified enough to get into any corpo you're setting yourself up to be in content creation basically for life. And well... look at the ex-holos compared to the ex-Phasers and that's really all you need to know.

>Hololive is still in the English market…
I’m not saying they’re gonna fall and everything will end; I’m just talking from my personal experience that corporate merges and management changes are not a good sign and never bring anything good. Before the merge, Hololive was definitely a golden ticket. After the merge, it’s still gonna be the golden ticket, but the gold layer might be thinner. Anyway, it’s my experience working in Western corporations, so Asians might surprise me.

>I do genuinely think Hololive will be debuting one more "true" English-speaking gen/unit in the next 6 to 12 months.
They might, but it depends on how good the sales of merch and concert tickets were in the English-speaking regions.

>Brave
Agree, I completely forgot them.

>Vshojo
somewhat yeees, but I’m not predicting the future, and at this point in time, Phase looks stable. Speaking of Fishman, Phase is not his sole business, so it’s not like he can just grab money and disappear.

Anyway, returning to the initial take about multiple options, it looks like we have Hololive after the merge with unknown consequences, BRAVE that buys every microcorpo they see and closes them with the speed of Microsoft disbanding game studios, and Phase that has questionable talents in late gens but had its own con this year. For me, it looks like the only adequate corpo to join is McDonald’s If I were that desperate to move from indie to corpo.
>>
>>115213716
Brave is weird because they objectively give you a ton of resources to work with, but the chances of you going viral with them is effectively zero. I can't imagine it's safe long-term, but for a short term they'll give anyone tons of new toys to work with and make the attempt to grow, at least.

Phase still has a talent that supported harrasement campaigns run by TVA. Nobody with a brain would join at this point. 500 page hatethread for her fellow talent and Jelly decides to follow the site owner on her alt twitter right after her coworker bails. Not subtle. Toxic shithole corpo.

This is not an issue with the revenue split
It's an issue with the management spending far beyond their means (and possibly embezzlement)

On paper VShojo's structure is ideal, and should work, especially with the powerhouse roster they had.

And any vtuber who gets in the company will have to do and agree with everything they do or say because otherwise the girls will definitely bully you out of there.
Also its obvious Fishman isnt the perfect CEO they say he is but dishonest CEO isnt a Phase exclusive issue.
