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
>>107907138That has to be a joke.
>Subscribe to HoloLivePro to skip ads that will otherwise be played over the sillhouette of the Talent you are watching
>>107909784"Aki, you're gonna say on stream that you want to be sponsored, ok ?""I don't really want to...">Shows her the funny pills"I'll do it..."
>>107909933A sponsor is an ad read or shout out every half an hour. Slapping ad space on a vtubers forehead is comical as fuck
>>107907138>He doesn't know about Ina and Bijou with their monster hunter collab outfits and thepickmeOrangewomanbirdbrain
>>107907138Even more soulless advertising slop. This company really is going down the dumps.The only saving grace would be if it's an outfit that only gets used very little. Other than that, every relevant holo churns out dozens of merch, sponsors and overpriced voice packs every year already; there's no need for this.
>>107907280And i criticized a lot for being a walking billboard when it happened but my concerns were dismissed.
>>107907379>Only applications from companies will be accepted.
>>107910371You do realize this is Aki's idea, not a mandate from Cover, right?
Vtubing is supposed to be about escape from the real world Putting ads on a outfit is like putting ads on a floating platform at the beach
>>107907163>>107909084>>107909130see >>107910429
>>107910429Proof?
>>107910455see >>107910461
>>107907138You suddenly become filthy rich. Which Hologirl would you put an ad on, and what ad would you put on them?

>TALENT FREEDOM>but only for things I like>If it's things i don't like, then it must be an order by the corpo
I feel this was inevitable.If Holo hadn't done it, someone else would have, I see loads of ads in Japan for stuff like mcdonalds or google pixel with vtubers, plus all that cross collaboration stuff with sports teams. Its just another evolution of shill streams, except whatever you're shilling is clearly visible now.
>>107910484>Only applications from companies will be accepted.
>>1079103931. This is only Aki. She wants this2. Korone's Sonic outfit is only used during promotion sreams3. For paid outfits that they can use elsewhere, there's no logo on them. See: Biboo and Ina's MOnHun
>>107910429You realize that if this goes by any standard well cover will, with 100% certainty, try it in many other holos, right?This is a company of constant shilling and monetization. You would have to be mega retarded to think they won't try this again.It doesn't fucking matter if they thought of the idea or a talent did.
>>107907138what an amazing idea, this is a nice way to pay the insane debt the talent have after a sololive or a shit cover song.
>>107910577>with 100% certainty,based on nothing. Koyori has a LIve2D bikini oufit doesn't mean everyone else is also gunning for a Live2D bikini oufit.>you would have to be mega retarded to think they won't try this again.Let's get mad when a talent says that they were forced against their wills to wear ads. Until then, you're getting mad at a mere possibility>It doesn't fucking matter if they thought of the idea or a talent did.So, talent freedom until it's something I don't like. Got it
>>107910614>this is a nice way to pay the insane debt the talent have after a sololive or a shit cover song.Nijisis acting like this is something being forced upon the Holos is so fucking funny.Go to the bank and ask them for a business loan with 0% interest rate and a payment range in years.
>>107909130Having ads on Hololive outfits is excessive but 2025 has shown that blatant greed is the new direction of Hololive. Cover is hiring 100 new employees every year so they require constant growth. HoloEarth is bleeding money so management is going to strongly encourage talents to find ways to boost revenue.
>>107910832retard>In 2022, the project was planned and decided upon under Akilose's initiative, and the costumes were completed too!!!https://x.com/akirose_sub/status/2003094470590624073

>>107910556Nothing stops you from opening a small company, anon. It's not really that hard if you have money. A lot of big esport players open their own companies to pay less tax on their winnings, for example
>>107907138soulless corpo shit
>>107911049>Trusting the corpo owned account when it protects the corpo
>>107907138I know this is Aki's idea, but did no one in management realize how bad this makes them and the talent look?
>>107911279>@akirose_subsub accounts are mostly for talking about personal stuff
>>107911346>took 3 years to approve>talent becomes depressed if rejectedpick one

>>107907138A brown hand on the left breast panel and three crying unicorns in a daisy chain on the right thigh.
can we get a blank template to make humorous sponsor images?
>>107907138BLACK COMPANY AAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEE
Am I the only one concerned that the outfit is tenga colored?
So wait, does this open to the door to an Aki x BLACKEDRAW collab or outfit?
Imagine how holobronies would've reacted if it was nijisanji who decided to do this
>>107912028There's a non-zero chance it was Aki's idea.
