holy SHIT I can't believe these musical artists are getting interest free loans from a contractor in order to build their brand that they use to shill their plastic bullshit for 900% markup.

Basically, this is the issue. They are pretty fucked because they focus on producing music videos, setting up a nice stage, and inviting many guests instead of prioritizing the actual music and performance. As a result, they put too many resources into these things relative to their market size. And I do not mean this only for solo lives, but for the music scene as a whole.

They don't have to, they're not forced to hold these events. Once they decide to hold them, they're not forced to license outside music instead of using the hololive songs Cover already owns. They're not forced to have guests that they then need to pay for dance lessons so they can learn the choreographies.
Fauna graduated without ever doing a 3D LIVE, it's clearly not required of the talents.
You want to do it, you have to pay. If you'd rather save the money, that's a choice too. The big events like fes, the EN concert, countdown live and so on Cover does pay for.

Buddy, they are telling the truth, everyone knows when someone is EX holo, and the brand they built with Holo transfer to them. Pretending otherwise is just retard. You think Indies just start off with 250K+ subs? Be real, they girl in fact gain massively from being in Holo.

Also, salary is not where most of the members make their money, they money more so comes from merchandise, Supers, and most of all Memberships and Voice Packs, that what leads to these girls often making 6 figures USD a year. Hell, when Gura was still there she was making nearly $25K a month with streaming, all from Memberships (this was after cuts).

That being said, Cover needs to improve its marketing department. Their talents have a large enough fanbase to support many engagement deals. Former Hololive talents can hold events and run pop-up stores regularly, yet current holomems somehow have very limited opportunities. This is one reason they struggle to compete with Nijisanji in terms of profit, and why many members feel they are not adequately rewarded for their efforts.

You're responding to a Holo obsessed nijinigger that's upset niji got branded with the black company label, called "anykuro", etc. after selen got terminated and anycolor's horrendous response to that situation.

This is a problem for both Holo and Niji, lives make money so the company should completely reimburse everything spent
>>
>>107894783
I still don't get why they have to pay for projects they do for the company with the company's IP that earns the company money?

If they paid for it and got 100% of the profits I'd understand, or took a loan and had to pay the loan back but got to keep the rest.

But it just seems kinda fucked?

>>107895025
This, it's something they voluntarily agreed to do in order to secure a live. Like going "wooow this guy is paying off this car for years".. yeah he agreed to do that instead of buying it in full.

I suppose what should be highlighted is some stuff Cover has the girls participate in free but extra stuff like lives requires both their discretion (is this girl able to sell all the tickets) and the girl technically pays for it up front. But the ticket sales and merch or whatever and boosts to other existing merch to the girl makes up for it, or at least it should in theory.

Not being paid for months is common as a contractor. Not saying it is a good thing, it is just reality. This thread is full of minimum wagecucks

>>
>>107896692
Slightly different. What they (Towa in this particular case, member who work on personal projects in general) are doing very likely won't take off.
Several members have commented about it. Long story short, most personal projects aren't profitable (at least not directly) compared to the money they invest into them. Those personal projects are usually done just as a gift / payback for the fans or occasionally an investment for the future.
In many cases (i.e: Haachama's photo exhibition project) the management outright told members that it won't be profitable and they shouldn't do it, but members just decide to go with it anyway because they want to
>>
>>107896735
It does go to them, the issue is that far too many of the talents have some goal that should and would normally be out of reach for them financially. Problem is, they go and take out those interest free loans to make albums or pay for studio time to do 3dlives that last an hour's worth of entertainment at best just because they saw someone else do it and wanted to too. Then they get what they wanted, at the cost of their future paychecks, and run off to cry/beg for more from their fans. Sometimes it's as blatent and forward as OP, other times it's more of the "Please PLEASE I need this merch to do well guys so go buy a bunch!", but no matter what it's still them e-begging to fix a situation they got themselves into.

Perhaps because you are retarded.
Kanata said two big pros of Cover is that (1) they make your dreams come true and (2) you don't need to worry about money to live while being in Hololive
>>
>>107896847
They get a cut of all their superchats and ad revenue (a larger cut than the streamer themselves iirc), they get a cut of the merch, get the concert and fes ticket money.. But they should also get the prime cut of profits off the talents personal projects too? Fucked up. Simply would not spend my own money producing shit for a company like that.
>>
>>107896896
The problem is that it isn't payback to the fans, because most fans would be just fine with the talent they like showing up for their anni, playing a goofy game or two, and then having a sentimental talk with them near the end. People act like fans are going to riot if their favorite doesn't do a 3dlive, but it's purely and ego thing from the talent.

COVER never mandates their talents to do any song covers, or any sololives. So even if they're using company assets, those still falls under personal achievements, which they never mandate, so they don't cover those.

Only thing they cover are HoloFes expenses and 3D debut expenses.
Now these might not include travel and accomodation expenses but the talents can ask for it and they'll usually cover them, but they never told the talents about this so a lot of talents, especially EN and ID ones, never knew about this at all.

The expectation of 3D Lives every year or more than one a year is a problem. I doubt most fans would even care if they stopped doing them as often.

I'm sure some retard would make a comment or ask about it, but in general people who are watching you won't give a shit. It's all for the talent, both because they want to and because some of them earnestly believe their performances on stage will get them new viewers. It's them gambling on stupid things because they want to.
>>
>>107896551
Because it's a personal project. Cover doesn't force talents to do personal MVs or Sololive. It's by their own choice.
There's practically almost no different on equating this to Towa taking a loan for her personal wants, and spending her money to cover said loan.
>but it earns the company money
Or it can leads to loss if said project flopped hard. You can treat the associated profit cut as loan interest including any associated cost for Cover to assist her projects.
>>
Cover helps Towa with the upfront cost of her sololive then she makes it back by selling merch. It's just an investment.

If you're going to talk like a knowledge adult, I'll also be one (but honest) and tell you this is a risk-shifting model directed towards the talents.
>talents are financially liable for growth projects
>if they succeed, COVER benefits from visibility
>in they fail, COVER is not financially liable
You can see why this is a problem especially if talents do not benefit by building their brand. Kanata for example won't benefit at all from the character she built if she walks away, she would need to create something she actually owns.
>>
>>107897549
Not mentioning it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Those personal projects cost her hundreds thousands bucks (in plural). That didn't just appear out of thin air.
Given that she has no other source of income, either Cover had to pay her so she got that much to spend on essentially a hobby or she took an advance from Cover
>>
>>107897909
Sure, but in the same regard, you can choose to do little to no extra projects, show up when the company pays for it, get merch crossover promotions, get ad deals, etc, and rake in cash. It is entirely up to the talent how much they want to risk.

I'm pretty anti-corpos but the logical answer to this is that for morale reasons it's easier for the company to say "fund it yourself" than for them to deny any and all project ideas unless it's profitable. the talents are aware these projects don't make money.

still, cover is pretty scummy for not covering any of the costs. they should at least be willing to pay for like $100k talent budge per talent per year. it isn't a big ask for how much money they're bringing in.
>>

You can use a deflection when it actually is relevant to the conversation.
>>
>>107898297
No, I didn't. You said they can take it easy (or more specifically, not create content) and that's the solution. Which seems asinine. COVER has also been moving in the direction of things like DEV_IS anyway, which is not low-effort. I would think it's implicitly slow career death.

A single Hololive 3D Live costs orders of magnitude more than what a single nijishitter earns per year.
Holos go into "debt" for a few months to pay off Lives that cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Meanwhile nijis like Finana don't do any of that and go into tens of thousands of debt because they don't get money from Anycolor because 98% of their revenue goes to paying dividends.

They do have a small budget for *each* personal projects (not accumulated, though). Noel talked about it recently and Bae also mentioned before. It's just that those budgets are small so you wouldn't be able to make anything high quality with it (think of those 2020-era slideshow style MVs)

"It's an interest free loan!" - lol. It's the talent spending their own money to try and increase the value of their brand. A brand for which Cover takes a gigantic percentage of every dollar earned. In some cases more than the talent themselves.

It's truly a miracle Cover became a billion dollar company at all, based on the altruistic fairytales their biggest stans choose to believe about how their business works if this thread is any indication.

Here they are though, treating it like it is and then crying to fans when they realized they fucked themselves for months financially.

Business expenses that they themselves say are things they CHOOSE to do, things they pay for because they want to. I can agree that things like flights for members or train tickets for those living in Japan should be paid for, but if it's a project like the group songs you see with merch stapled onto them, the company foots the bill for that.
>>107899061
Pressure by who? Their need to compete with other talents? And what growth are you talking about, because almost every time a Holo releases a song or MV or does a 3dlive, they're crying about money and merch sales immediately afterwords, almost like those things don't actually give them returns that make the risk worthwhile.

Cover owns the IP so of course they'll get a percent of any merch sales.
>you want to do projects? Pay us to produce your own lives (which Cover gets a % of)
Holos are only expected to pay a portion of a 3D Live cost for 3D Lives they want after they've had one that year. Sololives are far more expensive than 3D Lives that can use just Cover's studio because they have to pay for the venue and merch for the sololive.

Hey retard!
Look up what a Loan is.

Also, Explain who the fuck was funding her projects for the past 4 years while she -
1)didn't do any part time job
2)didn't make any money from her schizo streams
3)didn't have any good sales after scaring off her original fanbase
4)continued paying college tuition while NOT STUDYING
5)went on expensive trips around Japan (dragging her poor manager around) for videos that made no money
6)rejected invites from her colleagues who wanted to spend time with her and she wasted money on uber eats instead.

Cover should NOT terminate her.
She should come back. Apologise. And then start working to pay off her loans to the company and focus on finishing her studies. She shouldn't be let off the hook that easily.
>>
>>107899073
Again, as another guy pointed out above, she released 8 animated MVs. Going by big indies, those would cost $10K-$20K *each* on a low estimation, going up as high as $40-$50K (I'm not even counting Marine's $300K+ MVs because they are likely the exceptions). Now multiply that by 8.
(That was only MVs for covers and original songs. Album or any other expenses not even included yet)

How exactly do you work as a content creator when "just don't produce content" is now your solution. You are not going to explain this over greentext if Cover couldn't fix it themselves in-house themselves. Whether it's negligence, incompetence or malice, this is an extremely messy way to run business and it's why they keep losing people.
>but why
It's a tech company that got dragged into talent management by circumstance. They probably saw Sora as a low-risk way to demo their tech and just rode the wave. They have advisors like the CEO who drove Square Enix into the ground. Do they have any advisors/directors who professionally produce performing artists, like in film and music? It seems like a company in identity crisis or working at cross-purposes internally.

So she had two years. Most of her videos that supposedly cost a bunch of money were covers with like a bit of art in it plus editing. Which is like maybe like 2-6 thousand dollars at most for each. Meaning she had two years to work on these things. Gonna need evidence she put herself in debt despite saying nothing about it but pointing out that other girls were in debt (she never said she was in debt during this conversation)

Until they're crying like this or like Haachama did, when they can't afford to pay back their loans on it because they didn't make enough money with it. And it's not just those two who talk about shit like this. It's a losing proposition for 90% of the talents in Holo, and is purely done to satiate their own ego because they want the shiny thing too.

How else would it be worth billions, if it wasnt taking billions from the talents? Do you think they profit off holoearth or something?

I see Marine as the origin of the overspending problem. It worked out for her but she started the trend.
I am only talking about the talent side here. One obvious issue is that most of the support they receive is treated as a grant rather than something earned.
Haachama is a good example of this. She seemed to believe that simply working on a project entitled her to support even when the results said otherwise.
This creates a situation where those who actually deliver results do not receive increased support because everything is handled equally. In the end no one is satisfied.

Also 12% where??? Not to mention this isn't a breakdown of the COSTS like you were implying it was, nijishitskin-kun.
Here's the same slide from their recent report, this year, where they've increased the workforce that handles talent management. Now the only department with more employees than talent+production management is the one that handles IP, branding, and the software+studios that Holos use to stream.

This is honestly pretty normal for a company that big. Expecting 50-100 young women who get told they're the best in the world by thousands on a daily basis to stick around for decades is unrealistic. The only reason Cover struggles with it from a business POV is because they're not pushing out new generations to replace them.

>I overvalue myself as an artist

Passion projects are fine, but you still need to set a reasonable limit for yourself and understand that in some cases, you just can't fucking do it. FWMC got their popularity in the west because they streamed a shit ton and were consistent, and have been slowly losing popularity for the exact reverse while Biboo has been steadily gaining.
>>
>>107900278
They do, I believe some of those "projects that never get greenlit" are blocked precisely because of that. If I recall correctly, they basically force the talents to wait for a week to reconsider some projects, to make sure they really want to invest in that if it's seen as risky or something that they know won't really produce any returns.
They aren't as ignorant about any of this as they seem to be.
>>
>SEAnigger doesn't know what an Agency does.

Maybe actually get a job. It's obvious you have not experienced getting one.
>>
Hololive/Cover and the girls are independent entities. The talents are NOT employees to the company. Each talent is an individual contractor, similar to how Twitch contracts streamers as partners, but with more guardrails because holomems are supposed to operate in somewhat of a cohesive group.
That's why you hear they can do however much they want, or however little they want. Some girls pour a ton of money on music and MVs and albums, while others just stream and don't do much else beyond that. Obviously the individual contractor should take on most of the risk when they undertake extra, and Cover can help out by loaning services and even funds. The girls are free not to assume this extra burden and do the bare minimum.
That's all fine and dandy, except for the fact that Cover keeps the IPs. When Marine invests in Houshou Marine, that's to Cover's benefit. The person behind Houshou Marine only continues benefiting if she remains as Houshou Marine. Ninja didn't suddenly stop being Ninja and have his channels taken away because he left Twitch for a few years.
Yagoo is incredibly lucky that he has so many talents willing to put so much of their own resources back into Hololive/Cover, despite knowing they don't own that shit and will never own that shit, unless some talents have very special contracts that stipulate otherwise that we don't know about. You can see the disparity when you compare with Niji, and their talents really don't go too much above and beyond on an individual basis.
>>
>>107900620
>FWMC got their popularity in the west because they streamed a shit ton and were consistent
you sure it wasn't because they're cocomelon for adult manbabies?
>>
>>107900666
It's not quite as cut and dry. The IP stays with Cover, but a huge part of the popularity stays with the talent. That's why ex-Holos relaunch with hundreds of thousands or even a million plus subs.
>>
>>107894783

NTA. What if they don't use Hololive as a temporary launchpad? ie., what happens to Kanata?
>>
>>107900701
Nah, they had a good gimmick that was fresh, had a lot of streams, were always on time, and basically never cancelled a stream for their first half year.
>>
>>107900706
>That's why ex-Holos relaunch with hundreds of thousands or even a million plus subs.

Yeah, Saba wouldn't be as popular as she is if not for the blatant dog whistling and making her model literally Temu Gura.
>>
>>107900752
Then they need to remember that jobs are temporary and the good times don't last forever, so it's time to fucking save up. Same shit that happens to every starlet of the month with no hope that the career lasts, or professional sports players. They're adults, we can expect them to act like it.
>>
>>107900725
Or rather, the fact that hololive isn't collapsing despite the many attempts by nijifags.
Nijifags anti-ing hololive went from spamming reports to Capcom to having to watch Capcom sponsor Ina and Biboo.
>>
>>107900666
I swear you guys said cover provides a salary to the girls a few months ago, make up your goddamn mind.
>>
>>107900533
Where does it say that?
>>107900558
The branch literally says "Infrastructure Development". It's not Holoearth dev, that's the Metaverse section.
Regardless, more than 1/4 of the employees are talent and production managers.
"Normal" Cover staff don't get paid nearly as much as Holos, and if only ~350 million a year is going to this project then that's barely 1% at best of their revenue.
The only argument to be made is they have too many employees and could do with cutting staff.
Frankly speaking if they terminated holostars and 80% of the middle management that does nothing and reallocated all of the resources diverted to these groups towards managing and funding Holos they'd be doing far better.

I'm not you guys. The girls have never been paid a salary. To the extent anyone has ever been paid a "salary," it's more accurately called an allowance. Like when Hololive was young and the girls made no money at all but they need some money to survive. Nowadays none of the girls receive an allowance. A lot of people don't know the difference or are careless with terms because they've never worked as an independent contractor.

I hate that the argument half of the people are trying to have is that the company is bad for letting the talent take free loans off of them when the talent themselves is forceful about a retarded venture they want to do. Cover isn't perfect, but most of the girls are pants-on-head retarded when it comes to wisely choosing what to do and what not to do with their money. They do all this shit for themselves and it backfires because not enough people care about the side shit. They take all this time off streaming, losing the interest of more casual fans because they just don't show up, and then get ass-blasted when it doesn't work out like whatever perfect world they had envisioned in their heads.

There's a lot of stupid bait in this thread, but if there's one thing that rings true, it's that a good chunk of talents are throwing far too much money at projects that will lose them money. They bank on the good will of the fans hoping it will help bail them out, but in instances like Bae, or Towa, or Haachama, sometimes it just isn't there. I'm assuming after the soloduo concert, Kiara's gonna have a crashout over money too, because she was already stressing super hard over the album sales being too low.

It's not even like you can't ever have passion projects, but some of the talent are really stretching what they can actually get done with their income, which results in burnout. You could also argue that without any ability to do so, they'd suffer burnout too, so it's a bit of a double-edged sword.

The way to explain this in management terms is "under promise, over deliver". Which is just basic common sense really. It can be hard to find in a corporate environment. It doesn't help it's very easy for Cover to push the financial buden on the talents, ie. risk shifting. Creative types are not necessarily the best placed to think about how it all has to come together commercially, that's just the flip side of passion and dreams.
>>
>>107901859
Kinda sorta. Unless Holo members use an external studio for their 3D lives, generally the studio-related technical / directorial stuffs are virtually free. Members still need to pay by themselves if they commission anything extra from outside of Cover (i.e: if they include any touched-up parts by Kanauru, if they want to sing English songs and have to pay for permission from the copyright owners, or if they want to hire directors / staffs from outside - subjected to vetting from Cover ofc).
Cover provides them a small amount of money for that but it seems those are small enough not to matter.
