Similarly for shorts, you'll now need to have 20M "qualified" views in the last 90 days. The requirement of having at least 1,000 subscribers stays.

>>114082739Endra was confirmably the COO and head of talent manage of MSM, it used to be plastered on her linkedin page. This is from the old MSM data dump. Kinetic Fusion was the company she made after MSM fell apart, claiming it was an event planning company with "some talent management" attached.Here's the other incredibly interesting part: MSM blew up in 2024, this is also when Kinetic Fusion was founded and Seth started sharing a residence (at least on paper) with Jonathan, this is also when >>114079557says there was mysteriously an instance of $300,000 dollars in wire fraud.

>>114085825wild, this means that 3 scammers in the vtuber community were running together like a pack in 2024 before one member got sniffed out
>>114085825it's probably funneled into the housing company that was founded around when MSM fell apart. Johnathan created a "Horizons Housing LLC" and kept it active for 2 full years. It wasn't dissolved until it February 27th, 2026 which was a week before Novel officially announced major figure delays on March 5th, 2026 in this update:https://www.novelhorizons.com/post/the-novel-news-03-05-2026-major-updateWhatever business this housing company actually was is probably where the missing money went and it vanished as soon as the owner realized the figure company was fucked.

>>113999157Cover's financial report came in, and similar to Niji's, it's looking grim (save maybe the fact that their English branch is still going strong.) Net profits dropped ~40%, with the most major hit being to merch, largely attributed to the loss of income from graduated vtubers, in addition to inventory issues. In person events, such as the concerts and Botan's tournament, however, were a major boon this financial quarter, taking in about double of what was expected. Nonetheless, Cover claims, all in all, this is a temporary losing streak as they restructure, and hope to recover to close the year with at least $342.33 million in sales. The stock responded to the release of the report with a sharp drop, but quickly stabalized. This report does not include the latest Holodori gatcha game and a few other recent projects which seem to be doing well.https://contents.xj-storage.jp/xcontents/AS05169/f15ce68f/e5d2/4208/b98e/25ad8387b59f/20260812150825004s.pdfhttps://xcancel.com/SomosKudasai/status/2088016145538285754#m

>>113999151YouTube is changing how views work, come the 24th, in that a view will be counted the instant a video begins to play, as opposed to the old method, with 30 seconds or more required before you got a view. While we can expect view counts to skyrocket as a result, it won't have any effect on monetization, as those views only count the new "engaged views", which use the old metric and can be checked on the advanced analytics page.https://xcancel.com/TeamYouTube/status/2089382301960388854#m

I'd really like to take a look at the bankruptcy filings, but "Novel Horizons" hasn't filed for bankruptcy (in U.S. federal court, which is where it would happen). Also, the LLC is still actively registered in Texas.(I mention this now only because I just got around to watching Dizzy's stream, and she also mentioned not having found a bankruptcy filing.)

>>114229362Dude, his mom just died of cancer. He may not be a good person by any stretch of the imagination, but this is still a horrible time for him and his family; you'll be very hard-pressed to find anyone outside of 4chan saying that this is a good thing.Fortunately for him, he's one of management's favorite children (in the "golden child" sense of the term), so he'll be able to take as much time as he needs for mourning. If he didn't have the "golden boy" buff, he would very likely have gotten reprimanded, suspended, or outright terminated just for asking for permission to take some time off.
>>114229301I feel sorry for his mother, but writing all that reeks of pity points. He can simply say "I'm taking a break, something big happened in my family" or something and then explain it of stream when he comes back.
