On a scale of 1/10, how much of this was it Vesper's fault?
I thought you guys were dead.
>>110787337Funny how the thread gets kicks up whenever doom posts start
>Get on computer>Check my /manstars/>If nothing else I enjoyed my 5 years around here at least.
Astel chuki, forever

>no merch>no voice packs>no events>no more sponsors unless the company personally reaches out to themSo... how are they making money like this?
>Astel saying he had a one-on-one talk with Yagoo>The whole mood was like this>Turns on his stupid bgmkek
>>110788492Memberships
>>110788492Superchats (which Cover takes a cut of)/ad revenue/memberships.
>>110788492does Cover still get a cut from menshi? I might start doing gifts instead of SCs
>>110788492Also I guess they might still get a salary?
>>110788591They are still taking their cut.
>>110788629It's known for ages that their salary is not a real salary, it's less 20k yen base that they're legally obliged to do and the rest of their earnings come from the things that they no longer will have.
>>110788688Astel has always emphasized menshis over SCs, so the cut may be smaller at least.
I'm watching Astel and from my understanding he said even using an external studio is an unknown because doing so still requires Cover's 3D staff in some way, like transferring the data.
There is something that I wondering: Why the need to do a full press release? Like if their objective is to put the branch in a virtual banishment room the better way is to do the changes in private and just wait the graduation queue. This feel more oriented to the inverstors. Culling the weak branch.
>>110789466He doesn't have the money to rent a studio in the first place, that last live destroyed his finances and he never recovered. He said that he was surviving with only 50k a month a few streams back.
>>110789768*50k yen, by the way. Even a part-time job at mcdonald’s pays double this
>>110789665It'd come out anyway. Imagine members saying things like "Well I can't do 3D streams anymore" with no explanation or the merch just stopping cold turkey. This is shitty but hiding it would have been even worse PR.
>>110789665They assume their fans are enough of a corpo dickrider that they'll be like "understood sir, good business move!" and not immediately notice that the PR announcement basically blames fans and tells them their money is worthless and that wanting more is foolish. They're probably hoping nobody will ask questions either about salary raises their managers and shareholders are collecting, or about the decision to stick with money sinks like holoearth over the actual talents
Someone asked if this means the official channel will stop uploading videos. Astel is not completely sure but he does think the text implies that is likely.
>>110788492Back to early 2020? Hopefully we'll see Rober everywhere again
>>110791663I’m hoping to see Aruran’s old model again
>>11078730610/10 Vesper kill last opportunity of Holostar.
>>110787306All i get from all of this is that he has seen the writing on the wall early and dipped.
I wander how Gamma is feeling about all of this
>>110792397Actually may be Vesper incident cause drama inside Cover and A-chan who show the most support to them
Astel said if you're getting married you can ask Cover for a message from him and it's probably possible.
Say hello to the homos new boss.
>>110792462Complicated I bet>Was depressed from getting kicked>But gets to live his mangaka dreams while still doing youtube stuffI've missed having him around but I guess it's been for the best
Astel said he will sell his body... men and women both ok...
>>110793505I... I see...Hope he can eventually take this whole situation better...

>>110793163She would unironically do a better job than Cover ever did.If she gave a shit about promoting anyone else than herself, that is.
>>110790320i kinda feel bad for the oil baron starmin after reading the announcment. where did all their money go? if the boys arent getting support anymore, what's the point in sending gifts and sc?
>>110793197It’s kind of crazy. I’m sure he’s happy that he got his dream but then it seems like he’s lonely
>>110794619>where did all their money goThe real money burning pit that is HoloEarth. Things will only get worse for everyone as investors start to catch onto the fact that Yagoo just burned millions on a pipe dream metaverse shit.
>>110794456Multiple Robe in a day is coming back!!!
>>110793585Anonchama he was joking.From the stream I think he'll be okay, he expected and accepted it, disappointed mainly about 3D and merch but he expressed how much he appreciates his fans and just wants to be with them.
>>110794456I understand the sentiment of spamming superchats but you are giving money to a company that abandoned your streamer lol.
>>110795385Honestly I would hope that Cover at least has the grace to allow them, at the very least, 90% of their Superchat intake, especially if at this point the normal 30% doesn't see any direct returns.
So what will (you) do now anon? Will you leave or keep supporting Holostars?
>>110795745I'll just eat burgers to relieve my pain.
Sorry for numberfagging but shien's tweet has like 100k likes but where the fuck are these people????
>>110795745I'll keep on hoping he focuses a bit more on his rm activities again. I made peace with everything a long time ago.
>>110796317It is very likely for his tweet to have gone viral outside of Vtuber circles. It happens quite often to other otaku stuff all the time.
>>110795745I'll keep supporting them, my main change is switching from superchats to menshi gifts. I also started following the RM accounts I only had on lists before.
>>110795745i already wasn't buying expo merch because it's all gacha, and now that's gone... so i guess i'll just casually watch streams and hope they open up personal streamlabs or ways to support their PL. no more money directly to the overhead cut, why would i support a dorito that doesn't pay it forward.
>>110787165hopefully the last
>>110787153one of the best of days

>>110795745Watching as usual, but I'll be pirating the fuck out any Hololive things from now on
>>110795745I'm going to continue watching them/put them in the background when I can
K E K A R O OEKAROOK W A BWAB
Octavio raided Astel and what's with EN fans spamming the same emoji like bots?
>>110797778Western stream chat culture dating back to early twitch (and maybe justin tv but I wasn't around at the time)
Astel just kissed me. Later losers.

>>110798144>no RUST because they still have to follow Cover dumb rules
>>110795745I only really watch Roberu anyway (not just stars for streaming in general, kinda bored of streaming as a concept) so if he is still going will be business as usual.
