Hololive puts a woman in a position where she could potentially earn a million a year just streaming and doing merch regularly. Even if she doesn't want that much, why do they get so many retards who are like
>my dream job
>now I can coast and do fuckall

are any of these for EN chads?

Funny, I'm the same when it comes to the EN branch. Outside of a few exceptions like Bijou and Ina, I couldn't care less about that branch. Same with ID.

Also, Kronii's RM drama has run its course. It's just boring and repetitive at this point.

>a unit consists of three trainees and one director

their criteria:
Trust (Management Review): Adherence to guidelines, sincere activity attitude, skill improvement
Enthusiasm (Activity Data): Viewership, concurrent viewers, popularity of fan-created content (UGC)
Intention (Fan Support): Survey results on HoloPlus, etc.

Cover just can't have proper vtubers anymore?

Nobody's buying this cause it's just American Idol. Winners get the gig, losers get the boot and wasted 2 years of their life for nothing.

>>111685593
Does it even matter? Being in Hololive virtually guaranteed them to be successful at least in data. Just look at DEV_IS 2 who had horrible starts number-wise, yet all of them are pulling decent numbers nowadays. It's going to be just a matter of Trust and Intention which are vague AF so they can pass whoever they want after 2 years is up.
You are right, though, it's basically a TV show in the line that the outcome is already decided.

Imagine glazing senpai just to avoid the guillotine

this project seams to be cover's attempt at looking for the golden goose
they want to get a talented person and not pay them an arm and a leg like if they would need to do in order to get someone already prominent
at the same time they don't want to risk their brand name for a random noname
it's a compromise between brand risk and talent's prominence
they get to pick only the good ones and discard anyone they don't view to be fit
right now it seams like a pilot project, they want to see how fans would react and how the newbies would fare
if the project manages to produce at least a couple of golden geese they'll probably put it on rails and introduce more newbies probably every academic year/semester or something like that
the competition part seams to be just for the audience, if you read the rules, they state that they'll pass talents up to 2 years, so they can pick anyone at any point up to 2 years
so teams are arbitrary, really you need to suck up to your mentor, get the numbers and saviorfag, the team part is only useful for those purposes
>pls help, i can't make my team look bad TT-TT
considering that, they'll probably be very unicorn/idol friendly

>>111689318
>considering that, they'll probably be very unicorn/idol friendly
That is setting up for the ultimate rugpull that could cause backlash like anything seen before. The Great Unicorn War

>>111689318
So it's either pittybaiting the fanbase as a whole or pressuring the talents to really bust ass. Seems like total shit all around ripe with ways for people to be unhappy.

>>111684757
Holobored
This is like when marvel revealed their big roadmap for marvel movies after endgame.
Shit's over and normalfags moved on.

Fatcat faggots who became a large portion of the execs running Holo decided they'd continue to copy TV instead of doing their own thing. Thanks for leeching another interesting, newer form of entertainment to its death, fucking faggots.

>girls dropping left and right from conversion disorder
>make new talent go through a reality TV contest to stress them out even more
No thanks.

>>111685593
The old NND scene has been exhausted so there's no real talent left to hire.

>>111684509
>ACHRORA
Are they mexican?

>>111689318
Cover is basically saying spend money or your oshi gets dropped.

>>111684757
>even a new hololive debut announcement
mekPark isn't a Hololive gen and this feels way closer to Nijisanji except they have 2 years to be successful or they don't even get an official debut. A survival game vtuber unit might work in Nijisanji but it feels way too different to even consider mekPark to be anything close to a Hololive gen.

>>111685909
Cover will torch any trust in this project if they set the subscriber bar too high especially when they aren't getting any 3D debuts/concerts. They definitely are leaning into the underdog idol story but failing most of the new talents would look bad. Like when they forced Regloss to have a 2.5 million subscribers goal it will mostly likely be artificial drama.

>>111688289
>losers get the boot and wasted 2 years of their life for nothing.
That is why I can't imagine that Cover will set the bar too high since fans will feel horrible if they get fired at the end.

>>111684509
Welcome back, Filian.

>>111684509
So little talent left out there they had to make a training program... Grim

>>111684815
That's rough, but 2 years is a long time.

>>111689556
NIJISEETHE

I like the idea. It attempts to solve some issues and adds some competition that we can see. The girls who stop streaming after a year or can't adjust to real work will drop out.

I don't like it...

>>111690553
if it actually works like this im all for it, if the EN girls would have been filtered like this we would be down to 4-5 people. it might lead to some ugly moments tho, woman competing against each other are like animals.

>>111690776
lets be honest. vtubing attracted dramatubers and all sorts of people who enjoy it when things get ugly. it could be entertaining and filter out girls who aren't suited for the work.

>>111690817
yes, unfortunately 7 years too late

>>111690888
well, yes, but they have to try something new.

>>111690776
How would a branch with 5 people in it be good? If you cut to only the top half of streamed hours for the entire company right now, it's leave Biboo, Mori, Kiara, Shiori, and Gigi with IRyS barely not making the cut.

>>111684509
>not EN
>Korean idol industry vibes
I’ll pass

>>111690933
Yes, this is how it should be.

it's interesting to see cover experiment with the formula
sucks for those girls but what can you do

>>111690998
This place hates half of those people. Let me ask you this Anon, do you watch any of those talents at all? I can tell you I watch 2.

>>111684509
Cover will do literally anything but debut a new JP gen

>>111684509
who?
holo is washed up, @ me when some decent streamer debuts in that corpo

>>111689360
not impossible
they'll probably change a lot from their attitude during the "studies" to actual holomem debut

>>111689509
>average internship

>>111690275
not really money, more like compliance with corpo policies and min-maxing numbers
money is not their issue, that's for corpo to monetize this

>>111684757
Cuz it's not new girls. They technically are not "new" unless they make it.

>>111684757
Nobody cares about japs.

>>111684509
Kiara mogs all of them together hands down

>>111691057
since i have no oshi, i watch whoever is streaming at that time. so for the most part i do in fact, watch them

>>111684509
This is basically Nijisanji VTA, which this board loved to shit on.

>it might lead to some ugly moments tho, woman competing against each other are like animals.
Men get vicious as well if they are competing with coworkers that might replace them. A survival game vtuber branch will only work if the drama is artificial and fake. If Cover really does start firing mekPark talents after 2 years than Hololive will end up having all the back stabbing and scandals of Nijisanji.

>>111685031
If they've got a time limit to score a following then you can bet at least one of them is going to lean on the kaigai viewers to try and get their foot in the door.

>>111684509
What is this slop?

I'm surprised there isn't porn of any of them yet, especially the middle member of Unit B

>>111693463

The fact that nobody in their right mind would choose Holo Pag Pag over VTA makes it much more interesting. This means only true retards and menheras will join, greatly spicing up this battle royale shitshow.

>>111685459
I don't even watch ENs anymore mainly because I'm EU and grew tired of how you are treated like some lepers. Also 99% of streams starting at 3-5 am for me I just can't afford to watch anything. Switched to watching JPs, managed to find an oshi, can actually watch streams, my japanese got better and I started to understand some words and sometimes even whole sentences. Actually enjoying the hobby now.

I hope Cover forbids interactions (or even mentions) between mekPark and actual Hololive talents. Imagine how much of an advantage one of the mekPark girls will get if someone like, say, Pekora says they like them? Or if one of the mekPark girls talks about all the things they do with Miko. Basically leeching popularity through established talents, instead of growing on their own.

>>111693957
fuck off eu beggar. you got your eu gen and you STILL don't watch or buy shit. what excuses do you have?

I don't like it, one of the pillars of hololive was that once you were in you were allowed to not have to compete with each other. It made for a much healthier environment and it allowed the girls to pursue their own path.

This is the dark side of idoling.

>>111693957
You are treated accordingly. EU just does not show out enough in numbers. I'm sorry if you're somehow a 1 in a million who personally buys every single piece of merch and goes to every rare EU event, it's just not enough. Yes NA gets stuff but you know not even all of NA gets it, it's just NYC and LA. Flyover states are in the same boat.

>>111694664
>you STILL don't watch or buy shit
i mean you are right but i want to add that even people like Kiara randomly set streams at 4-6 am whenever they are in a different timezone which cucks their usual core viewer base and when it comes to merch cover used to be absolute incompetent to ship anything to the EU in a timely manner. dont know if this is still the case. we also dont or rarely get any concerts here.
i stopped giving a fuck tho, it became a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point.

This has to just be a two year vibe check. Two years is a long fucking time, imagine a girl who is with Cover for 6 months longer than Coco was being terminated for underperforming. It would be a bloodbath. There are some serious retards running things in Cover.

>>111696542
Girls stop streaming after the first year. Girls randomly have mental breakdowns. The first 2 years lets them filter out anyone who shows signs of doing that so they don't end up with a whole gen of Ayame and Ao.

>>111684509
Didn't nijisanji already try this "vtuber training school" thing and it failed miserably?

>>111696669
Then they need to not advertise it as numbers and fan support mattering so much. Just say it like it is, they want to develop these new girls into Hololive talents that want to be here for the long haul.

>Cover copies Nijisanji for the billionth time but does it in the most retarded way possible

It's the chicken and the egg. Can't show enough in numbers when there's nothing to show to.

The big company that does collabs with Mcfuckingdonalds and Coca cola, is sweating so mich for money that they are doing the corporate equivalent of internships... I said from the beginning that the homos getting fucked is just removing the bottomline that continously moves. More pressure on fans to do something that should have been covered by mcdonalds/coca cola, and more pressure on talents to get numbers..which is cryptic anyway. Suisei used her golden parachute already. Holy shit this is pitiful..i don't get what they are spending money on.

I know twitter retards are shitting themselves over this, but this could be super entertaining. Some girls who will have to put in actual work to earn their spots and not go MIA after a year. Obviously cover has to see something in them, or else they wouldn't even get a trainee spot. Also good to see some (probably) cute and normal designs again. Regloss was a good start, but then Flowglow already went a bit crazy again. These look very cute.

>>111711495
Cover documents are showing the director as male which manages that careful Japanese balance of being sexist and doing something that will anger the unicorn fan base. mekPark will truly be the most stressed out vtuber gen in Hololive (except they won't be called Hololive, they won't have 3D debuts/lives, and they can't even collab with Hololive talents). I am starting to think Yagoo actually wants this new project to fail so that investors will forget about HoloEarth.

>>111724641
>Some girls who will have to put in actual work to earn their spots and not go MIA after a year.
Talents having to constantly worry about metrics while having to be "compliant with management" is a cursed combination. This shit is what caused a lot of real life scandals in idol companies.

>>111725329
Stop pretending to care about the talents when you were literally posting about how korones break to be with her sick mother was a stealth suspension outfitschizo

>>111725329
"Compliance with management" being a point is still fucking wild to me considering they came up with the "disagreement with management" line themselves.

It's also yet another reason why they'll never try this with EN because if EN listened to management they would've went under years ago.

Anon everyone who has dealt with competition outside of Hololive know this is a huge fucking retarded move to do. You are eating up your own fan base with this. We might as well microwave the popcorn at this point if you brain dead idiots think this is a smart move and are all for it.

The fuck are you talking about? Doing your job properly for longer than a year is not a crazy concept.

Fanbases will only eat themselves up over this, because these retards can't apparently understand that the girls are not fighting for one spot. Everyone can succeed, just support the girls you like and do content you want to see.

This only works with an infinitely sized market
in reality, you'll have 6 girls all trying to compete for the same chunk of the holobox over a set time period where they'll have far less resources than a typical holo would have while also directly competing against them for a chance at debuting.

Actually true because A-chan can act like mediator and she is female.

Retard it's Cambodia

Does yagoo even have any authority left in cover?
Seems like the shareholders and their dogs rule the company now

Paying for 2 managers this is either some retarded internal wank fest thing Hololive is doing because of their management failing or a bet. This is not designed to be good for talent in any way.

Yagoo is on the out and one of these 2 managers will inherit Hololive. I can imagine what this stupidity is really about. Achan probably heard about these dumb ass ideas and wanted out. The biggest earners had shitty contracts proposed to them filled with concerts and opted the fuck out. Others get almost no support even if you are half crippled.

That’s just a nice way of saying sexual favors.

Why do retards always immediately blame all of Cover's retarded decisions on shareholders?
This bizarre idealisation of Yagoo is utterly insane.
