Fish hires autistic women and weeds out queen bee mean girls.
Also he is heavy on female managers. The lead manager is Muumi, allegedly a veteran of the industry, speaks Japanese and Korean and has a Psych master's.

Coffee sells. Also he has other businesses and managed to reel back since bringing in Muumi which ultimately saved a few people from graduating.

Phase Connect is actually one of the better companies to work for, despite the rabid fanbase. It'll stay alive until Fishman is ready to call time on it.

It takes a bit more than a fuckton of greenbacks to run a vtuber agency. Just ask Niji EN and pre-Brave Idol about the correlation between the CEO's personal wealth and the agency's success/longevity.
Phase's success is not because of Fishman's deep pockets. It's because of Fishman's COMPETENCE. Though, admittedly, him having a fuckton of money does help; but that has more to do with capitalism in general than the vtubing industry in particular

Older fan base who doesn't lose interest as quickly and has more dispensable income.
Pretty fair contracts that aren't overly generous.
Fishman is a competent businessman and learned to just delegate the talent management shit.
They've got a stranglehold on the older online generation and the more edgy younger viewers.

Like you said, he's a good businessman. A lesser businessman might have hired cheaper talent managers, and would have gotten what they paid for. A much lesser businessman would have let the talents self-manage, and a clique almost certainly would have formed.

Some people don't care about self-preservation, in her case she just wants to be quirky and changing her name is a totally uwu quirky thing. So what if it confuses people and fucks with her SEO.
A lot of vtubers fantasize about starting fresh with a new name and they workshop those fantasies but few of them actually do it because they have the self control to recognize the brand and audience recognition they built up over the year, even as 3 or 2views has value. Not Nano tho

I've been trying to convince fish to invest in becoming a gamersupps competitor.

If they have good management then that already sets them apart from other small corpos. Most of the stories I've heard from those fallen corpos is that management was not existent or they used too high of a budget for how much money they make. Talent's give a huge cut of money they make to the company, and they get the clout of the company as well as management. If your company has no clout then you better have good management in order to justify taking 50% of all donations. Otherwise you just sold your soul to get a vtuber model. If 50% of all future profits are an exchange for a $10,000 model and that's it, it's a bad deal.

Speaking of Phase and shekels, the fish interviews about how a small corpo works like with cash flow are pretty informative.

Like one of the pieces of advice he gives for people trying to join one is to look at the corpo's ability to pay any contractors like artists, riggers, editors and even talent on time because of how irregular revenue is.
There can be months and months of delay for a small corpo to get revenue and its extremely for them to spend money they won't have, not being able to pay people on time is a bad sign of cash flow mismanagement and showing bad things to come.

Fishman isn't actively evil, stupidly greedy, or desperate. Good at hiring managers and talents. Has more brains than his small corpo competitors. Look at the four EN talents in gen 1. Their content is quite different, both from each other and from the big corpos at the time.
If you hire a bunch of girls who do the same thing as the big corpos, not only are they going to have trouble competing, they'll also wind up competing with each other if there's too much overlap. How many people would watch several different girls play the same game? Sing and dance like Holo, but worse? Maybe if they're already heavily invested in the talents, but you'd got to hook them first.

Stop riling him up to be some second Jesus; he's just a chink who got lucky.

I don't know what about whatever I wrote sounds to you like I think he's some "second Jesus". He's just not terrible overall, plus pretty good at hiring so far. It's more that his competition are... were pretty dumb.

NDAs can be indefinite as long as it's signed into agreement by both parties. I did clipping work for a small company and even I had an indefinite NDA. Of course, I didn't have any information disclosed to me that I'd be able to break said NDA because I was just a clipper, but it was in the contract.
>>
>>87077183
No but you just might be if you think a contract can't be written up to last for life, especially a gag order.

indefinite contracts are unenforceable under most common law countries

>>
>>87077304
Why would she outright say she doesn't? If there was proof she does, she'd be doing herself less of a favor than if she said nothing. Everything she has hinted at towards Phase shows she wants to defend herself but can't, so she has to use roundabout ways.

Anon please don't confuse the ability of the united states federal government to classify national security intel with the ability of a vtuber corporation to enforce their autistic and often ridiculous contracts, kek
>>
>>87077281
They literally get lawyers to draft up the contract, making them legally binding. Getting sick of this "it's unenforceable lol" argument like a judge would just decide on a whim to enforce or unenforce a particular contract.
>>
>>87077281
Not only that, if she decides to violate it, what's fishman gonna do? Waste money on a cross-border lawsuit? I'm sure the Californian judge will be thrill with the petty suit and won't immediately throw it out
>>
>>87077536
Just because a lawyer wrote it doesn't make it legally binding and enforceable if it violates a core aspect of common law.
>>
>>87077536
Honestly anon you just sound inexperienced in this area.
Lots of jobs make you sign ridiculous and unenforceable contracts, often as an intentional intimidation tactic because people (like you) just assume "contract = must be legal! a lawyer wrote it!"

I don't think Nano lived in Cali, thought she was east coast
>>
>>87076880
even if it somehow was "reasonably" indefinite, it'd almost certainly be found unenforceable per those terms upon her termination. courts don't like indefinite contracts in the first place, and she'd certainly face no consequences aside from having to deal with a legal system when she almost certainly does not want to.

if she really wanted to, and phase was in the wrong, she could say what she wants to, but unless they REALLY fucked her over i can't see her wanting to deal with the potential headache of speaking out

Not sure why you think an actual, competent lawyer wouldn't know all those things you linked and why vtuber agencies wouldn't hire an actual, competent lawyer to draft an agreement skirting every single one of them but to each their own.
>>
>>87077798
If the words "competent" are the first thing that come to mind when you think of vtuber agencies, their management, and their legal council, after all the insane news we've had this year, you seriously don't pay attention to this industry.

Struck the wrong partnerships, the business arrangement with Sakana and the business partners he teamed up with didn't hold up their end of the bargain and get the merch done on time and just strung him along so he is suing them. All the while he has to find others to be able to uphold the original merch agreement so people can get their stuff they paid for. In my opinion, no other factor has affected the company more from a holistic standpoint of financial, PR and time cost combined than that issue.
>>
>>87077717
more like they were flushing the turd. really feels like yuri was in the fault here considering not a single person from phase defended her and she immediately was memoryholed and unpersoned, aside from, you know, panko saying she was in the wrong

It think you're underestimating the new JP hires. They're already on pace to matching or already surpassed Gen 1 JP's sub counts and one of them (Yuu) is the highest drawing JP. Plus for Phase JPs they're doing pretty well for a foreign company in an already beyond oversaturated JP market.
>>
>>87075813
>she is the most bland hire they made since shiina but nobody pretended shiina was a wild child
Fuck you, Shiina is great.
>>
>>87057071
Fishman is married and already has a mistress on the side so he's not sexpesting the girls or the managers constantly.
Plus he already has money and a business on the side so he's not desperately trend chasing and donothoning to get rich quick.
That's two entire classes of megayabs off the table from the start, meaning he's basically not going to tank the company himself out of nowhere.

As for success, he literally got a girl who made a suicide vow that she'd either work herself to death to achieve success or literally blow her brains out live on stream.
Luckily for Kevin she became popular. That was the biggest gamble he's taken so far and the only one that legit COULD have imploded the entire company. Like just IMAGINE how things could possibly continue on after that, it's impossible!

Even with that debacle most fans don't have much animosity on that issue, and even light heartedly rib Sakana about it since they know eventually they'll get their merch in a year or two.
>>
>>87078247
>and already has a mistress on the side
Dizzy...
>>
other than only rumors of what cause Yuri's termination, I don't understand the hate directed toward her. She was well liked before the termination, and hasn't done anything really bad at all as Nano. Pippa still plays games with her, Jelly follows her, she has a lot of friends and her fanbase stuck around. I don't see why she has 2 year old hearsay dug up about her every time she's mentioned. Really seems like her only stain is something we don't even know what it is.
>>
>>87078003
He is only suing one distributor who was in charge of a set of plushies. Everyone else he is okay with strangely despite the fact that they are late with delivering.
>>87078330
Sure, more hardcore fans now are fine with it but it's really not great for their merch reputation has gotten to the point it does and even the warehouse he has for final packaging and etc. became an inside joke. It affects gaining new fans and how many people are willing to buy something to wait that long to arrive. As a casual watcher of some girls, it is really offputting to see posts every once in a while in their threads regarding this something along the lines that something took 9 months to come over or someone had backlogged several hundred dollars of merch waiting to arrive or that they forgot they ordered something and then it suddenly arrived on their doorstep late. Admittedly, people do like the quality and it's not cheap China shit and it is better than most small corpos but at Phase's size, you would think that they would've figured this out by now being in their 3rd year and counting of business.
>>
>>87078247
>it's impossible!
I think Lumi could make some jokes about it and keep going just fine
>>
>>87078542
Anons on /vt/ are just desperate to have something, anything, that they can use to claim Phase is a bad company but there just isn't anything substantial so they have to resort to digging up ancient history that was never revealed publicly to make rrats about

Vshojo is a likely outcome, but if you think that notRosemi would be anywhere NEAR as popular and successful as Mint and Doki, you're delusional.
>>
>>87079021
My rrat is that she'll be a "surprise" graduation that will happen before the end of the year and that there will be a fight to get her to go Vshojo vs Phase with Matara and Dizzy doing all the backroom negotiations to get her to go one place or another. I can't really tell at this point who would win though so that will be interesting to see who wins out.
>>
>>87079287
>I can't really tell at this point who would win though so that will be interesting to see who wins out.
Matara with a bullet. She has more political power and influence to get Rose what she wants. Dizzy has nothing to offer.

Runie is a standout because she actually fucking streams.
>>
>>87079437
Does Rosemi want to do a 3D concert and etc. to a live audience? She didn't seem like she was a big idolfag like Mint was. And even though her 3D was lackluster in terms of what Nijisanji put in, I think she basically would have hit all her goals with that otherwise. Dizzy has the emotional support pillar factor and is looked up to by her because Dizzy supported her to get out and apply for Niji. I do agree there might be some recency bias too given maybe how much Rosemi has met Matara in the background vs Dizzy but who really knows. There is also quite a big difference with Youtube vs Twitch despite Vshojo saying yopu don't have to do Twitch and she may not be up for changing platforms since her indie was on Youtube and I am pretty sure she can resurrect her channel like Doki and Mint did. But given how long she has been gone, it could really go either way. I expect it to be close and not as set in stone like you think.

> We'll stop debuting new talents after we get to a nice round 30

what is this move called
>>
>>87080326
He actually said "slow down", not stop hiring. They started 2023 with 15 girls, lost Yuri, got 3 invaders, 5 gen 3, and 5 JP at the start of 2024. That's net+12 in less than a year.
Maybe spamming gens like Niji or Brave isn't the best idea.

Just like with Yuri, they must know something we don't. Either the current roster has issues with Lisa, or Dizzy was very insistent on poaching her, which triggered the fish's apocalyptoc alarms
>>
>>87082461
Before Lisa went to Idol, Pippa went on a drunk rant on who she'd like in Phase and mentioned Lisa.
>>
>>87082527
Yes, Pippa likes her. But Hime hates Pippa(s audience). Same reason Kirsche wont be let in. Being liked by Pippa alone isnt a golden ticket
>>
Yuko will Phase in
>>
>>87083437
She's not being let in again, anon.

>>87075730
Yes, of course. "Skill in hiring".

Unironically? Cause the girls, sans Tenma, were always extremely receptive to the kind of "memes" created in their /vt/ general which changed the shape and perception of the character they play, making them more attractive and shill worthy. Pippa might have started it but other girls like Lia, Lumi, Panko, Shiina, Jelly, Muyu, etc. didnt mind dipping in either, some more than others.
Now referencing this place is not as novel as it used to be tho, nor all fanbases are made equal, Phase's fanbase was creative as autistically active and annoying as they were.
>>
I don't have a horse in this race but from an outsider's perspective, Phase taking Yuri's character and channel which she had before coming to Phase seemed like a dick move even if they were perfectly in their legal rights to do so.
