Please look forward to Eri's VTuber redebut using her former talent's donations though, it'll no doubt be happening in the future!

Someone should just call Eri and Silvi out and let people know that they will likely be using the girls' donation cuts for future redebuts so when they do happen they'll be called out for being utter scumbags.

The sad thing is Eri will get away with it, she has enough simps to deflect any blowback for becoming a full time streamer again. She won't get blackballed from collabs and oppertunities all because she ran a black company.

Eri, only because Eien debuted literally right after niji's fuckup and she had the perfect example of how not to handle a corpo. Instead, she took every single rrat and made them real in her own corpo.

Can somebody explain to me why the girls don't get their models? I don't understand.

They have to pay for it, rratmancers say that the corpo asked 3x more from some of them (and they couldn't pay that)

Eri either really needed money, really hated her streamers, or both. She decided that selling the channel IP to them would be a good solution.

Many vtuber companies are starting to just give the IP's away to their talents when they shut down these days, look at Production Kawaii etc. WTF is Eri going to do with the models anyway, just leave them to rot? it's not like she's going to use them. If she had a brain she would have given the girls the models, everyone would be praising her generosity and she would have at least some good will for when she enevitably starts streaming again. Instead everyone sees what a money grubbing bitch she is,
>>
>>88803423
This has some serious "a lot of people on the internet are asking questions already answered by my 'I do not rape farm animals' tshirt" energy.
....well, not exactly the SAME energy, but largely similar energy
>>
>>88819031
Probably less "keep the models for her own personal use" and more "keep the models away from the talents who had been using them until this past weekend, just to spite those talents"
Between keeping some of the talents' IPs and forcing them to start over, and this notice that she just shat out, I'm guessing she's more interested in hurting the other girls than she is in trying to earn community goodwill.

>>88834024
This
Small corpos operate at a loss for years, just from 4 models alone they can rack a deficit of 20k give or take depending on the quality of models, plus staff costs, art, covers, games for the talents
It makes no sense from a business perspective, most small corpos will die before even making profit.

Vtubing is a bursted bubble.
You are 3 years too late to get in, just vtubing for hobby, fleshstream is the only way to make profit for a new streamer again.
You can unironically blame every single hololive competitor to be so incompetent this entire scene has become full monopoly where only extremely Hololove adjacent outliners like Mint or Doki can make a bank especially on youtube outside Hololive.
Anyone else is either just making enough to keep afloat after 4 years of activity but fully hit wall on their growth or got extremely lucky like Phase and just survive but are still growing (Phase is still NOT making a profit but they are not gonna die anytime soon)
>>
>>88836419
Thats literally what 99% of Hololive members do
Variety gaming and half asses karaoke (sometimes not even that much and just shill new slop merch)
>>
>>88837350
Yeah but the context of the question is how does a new person getting into vtubing find any modicum of success when getting into Hololive is not a realistic option.
>>
>>88837561
When the industry becomes saturated, innovation will set you apart. It gets harder to do as time goes on, but you gotta find something that only you can do that will get people to come back to watch you time and again

Aggressively network, start with chubbas at your level and work your way up to the big boys. That's how LPers did it back before Camera Boom.
>>
>>88836299
Network. Fucking hell, for how sociable a lot of vtubers seem, a lot of them are big introverts irl and have to force themselves to reach out to others. Introverts have a natural debuff when it comes to career advancements, because a big part of growing in any job is getting your name out there.

Phase used to be a shitshow until Fishman accepted that he couldn't manage it himself and therefore got Muumi involved which massively improved the situation at hand.
That's all EIEN had to do, get competent managers, instead Eri kept running it into the ground with SIlv---I mean Risti. PC will always be seen as the example of "how to run a corpo properly."

>>88836299
doing Filian's humiliation ritual on twitch seems to be a good way to get some crumbs. worked for Lumi and Mari.
>>
>>88836299
it depends what your goals are in vtubing. If you think you are gonna become a full time vtuber who makes a long term living from it, forget it.
1% of the vtubers make all the money. Unless you are making probably $200,000 per year it is not worth it. This career had no benefitrs, no retirement plan, no nothing, very easy to get into tax trouble as well unless you are disciplined. it is a trap.

>>88848091
Lumi and Mari are trapped and don't realize it. For example Lumi spent 8 years in school to degrees she will never use. She will be unemployable very soon because she will have large gaps on her resume to explain.

So she is now stuck for the rest of her life shilling low level meme sponsorships and playing games to brown autists for 6 hours a day. if she gets tired of doing that? oh well you can't get a real job because younger people fresh out of uni will get the job before a girl in her 30s who is years removed from school and has been playing make believe anime girl will.
>>
>>88803423
Nothing particularly damning or self-implicating in there as far as I can tell, I guess Eri is smarter than Anycolor. But why did they see a need to write this statement in the first place?
>>
>>88819031
>Many vtuber companies are starting to just give the IP's away to their talents when they shut down these days

>>88837561
innovation doesn't mean jackshit, networking does.
Goes to twitchcon, sell your body to famous twitch streamers that is the meta.
Hololive/corpo let you skip the selling body and get instantly acquainted to bigger streamers.

If i knew what was coming next i would be a stock investor, but something is going to reinvigorate the scene and create a new wave with a new audience.

By this logic, nobody would create new companies in any sector. The process of investing, planing, executing, and seeing a return in the future will keep happening regardless of how many companies close. It's just the cycle of business.

>>
>>88853692
She wants to try to avoid the blowback as much as possible, on the surface she didn't leave much "traces" of her involvement aside from the fact that Silvi / Risti were never active at the same time, and almost everybody that knows that it is her are locked under an NDA, so as long as she distances herself enough from the corp before it goes under, and intentionally streams during hours of things like graduations and announcements then she could just play stupid about it. As soon as word of her being connected to EIEN appeared /here/ she started doing everything she could to make herself seem less involved.

Phase-Connect is doing fine. I guess being an actual businessman works in Fishman's favor?

>>88855764
Sakana listened to his talent at a critical point in time and was willing to let go of things and delegate.
Also, Phase got lucky with their first gen. Simple as.
>>
>>88856156
Exactly, he actually listened to his talents. Why causes the CEO's of other small corpos to ignore their talents or abuse them?
>>
>>88856244
when 6 months into your company your entire gen1 forms coalition and tells you to hire managers or they are quitting (and also this is when gen2 auditions had just opened, so the entire company effectively quitting would kill the company), you start listening.

if their gen1 threatened to quit later on after other gens had debuted, i think he probably lets them walk.
>>
>>88855116
but what does she have to do with EIEN?
>>
>>88856673
No, he really wouldn't. Gen 1 and the early invaders (mostly Lumi) are a big part of the company now.
>>
>>88856729
gen1 has no leverage any more.

>>88844416
It's funny how the solution to many problems small companies face, not just in vtubing, is basically just the CEO swallowing his pride and admitting he can't do everything himself and simply hiring qualified people for the job. Many CEO's fail this simple task.
>>
>>88856925
>4view
this doesn't matter in phase connect
what matters is who makes them money
>>
>>88856790
You're out of your mind. Pippa, Tenma, Lia and Uruka are taken care of like made mafia men.

It trickles down from them. A lot of the company that was hired after them were hired by their recommendation, or were hired because they were friends of the friends they got hired. If say something happened and the 4 of them said they were quitting, no less than 10 other girls would leave out the door with them. Phase would be left with Iori and the Tsunderia crew and would die a slow death like the first Tsunderia.
>>
>>88856969
and where is this information coming from?
>>
>>88857048
Gen 1 are still some of the biggest moneymakers. Pippa alone has made over 500k in superchats.
>>
>>88857048
their top money makers are pippa, airi, dizzy, tenma, lia, lumi, clara, runie
3 of those are gen1s. so yes if 3 of your top money makers, including pippa who makes the money of 4 girls combined, says to fix some shit or else, then shit will get fixed.

also the companies identity to the vtubing industry is almost entirely their gen1.
>>
>>88857317
>the companies identity to vtubing is almost entirely their gen 1
Yeah, which does kind of sucks, since that did get a lot of viewers originally due to being a 'different' type of corpo, it now also stops other potential new viewers from wanting to watch them or even give them a chance. Which is a shame since so many of the girls are entertaining.
>>

And what the fuck is "the third wave" supposed to be? Anon replied "porn" what a basic, weak and disappointing future that would be, I'm not for it. I would quit vtubing altogether if "mass porn vtubing" were a thing. I can't even imagine what the third vtubing wave boom that revives/energizes things up will be like.

No, really? What else... no, what else? This is either a ***WHAT ELSE*** to take from other people/things and add it to vtubing that would make it extremely popular because "oh look, this is in vtubing so it became very popular again/here, let's explode it" or a miraculously NEW thing, whatever the fuck that would even be that hypes things up, whichever happens then it would start the "third wave".

what I mean is their company's identify is their gen1 because their gen1 are the ones who typically are able to get phase connect exposure on platforms and big events
it doesnt mean others can't become apart of it, but they gotta get themselves into some of the spots and hustle if they want it

Women cannot innovate and are not the future of anything let alone vtubing

The appealing factor that made the stream era was the idea that vtubers are anime characters you can interact with in real life. 6 years down the line this illusion has completely shattered as the women behind these avatars are, ultimately, still real women and bring with them all the problems that entails (this is the reason all non-holo corpos have failed)

Once men get back in the driver's seat we will move to a new era of genuine creativity. This will require an advancement in voice changer technology that allows men with one to sound virtually identical to women with very little effort. Dedicated kayfabe and long-running storylines are a hugely untapped area of vtubing because women don't know how to do it

eh it all depends. hime is by far the best networker of her gen and has scored herself some big spots, but she has no mindshare she is probably 3rd or 4th in her gen and probably like 15-20th in the compnay in terms of brand identity. i don't know why or what it is. is it her name and the fact there are a lot of hime's who are way more noteworthy than her? personality? does she just not make a memorable impression?

and i agree it isn't about numbers. it's about if you go into an outsiders stream and say if hime comes up on screen or what have you, does a chat outside of phase connect really know who she is? probably not is my guess

Bankrupt? With there still being "income allotments / income splits" coming from even the talents that "graduated" after the company "ceased operations"? If the talents couldn't answer questions about how their income was going to be split even after graduation, that means their still tied to an NDA revolving around that money, and that it's in "EIEN's interest" for them to not talk about it

Hime's case is an interesting question.

I think she's easily one of the funniest vtubers in the EN sphere but her content feels impenetrable somestimes, but the real dealbreaker for me is her timezone.

I think she's one of those chuubas who need a few breakout moments in quick succession before catching up completely, but maybe I'm being too optimistic about it.

Yet in her "Indie V-tubers" focused karaoke relay, the second singer was the CEO of a Vtuber agency (that she is part of management in)
After she received backlash and was called out after her "I wish them the best" post after tweeting about a graduating talent from EIEN, then she started slowly pulling more and more away from the corp to try to keep herself from getting exposed, Hence why she didn't post anything on the last announcements of EIEN (or plan for herself to be actively streaming during those announcements)

>>88860813
I said what I said.
It's less that Phase's management is good, and more that they aren't as horrendously incompetent as the management of your average vtuber corpo.
They don't win by being good, they "win by doing nothing".
They still struggle to make money, and can't seem to figure out how to make the merch pipeline work, or organize an event without it being a behind-the-scenes clown show, or get literally any good sponsorships.
At the same time, many other corpos have absolute incompetents, retards, drama queens, obsessive control freaks, grifters or groomers in their management - and some corpos manage to get a bingo off that list. Many of those corpos also have empty pockets, debt, investors breathing down their neck - while Fish put down a lot of his own money, kept most of the ownership, and picked whoever he sold the other stakes to. He's content with Phase not giving that good of a return as long as it stays in the game, and so are his hand-picked mentally ill sadgirl investors.

clown take. Phase Connect has plenty of money and they use it wisely.
have you looked at their career supas? Pippa has made half a million in supas herself. They have a half dozen girls that have cleared $100,000+ in just supas that does not factor in memberships, other donos sites etc. No other small agency has had more than one that has made $100k+ in supas. kawaii died because they only had Nene and the next best active girl only made $20,000. they also pump out a lot of cheap to make merch and the fans keep buying it.
>can't seem to figure out how to make the merch pipeline work
agreed. they are improving slowly. still work needs to be done.
>organize an event without it being a behind-the-scenes clown show
they are improving. you're only as good as your last event, and the last event they ran went off without a hitch. No tech issues. No scuff.

this is from a month ago from the thread when kawaii announced they were dissolving.
phase has another 7-10 girls who have cleared $50k+ in supas.

>>88862129
do you one better: phase has all of their original IPs still around. their only graduation was an Invader. it won't last forever and a part of me feels like we will see maybe one of their gen3 girls not renew, but oh well that's business.
>>
>>88862279
It's possible.
>>
is this /eien/
>>
If a company is closing there is zero reason (other than the legal requirements of bankruptcy proceedings - and I don't think EiEN is bankrupt) to not give away the IPs for free - other than malice. It is a truly evil thing to do and has no benefit other than joy at making things more difficult for your former employees.
>>
Heavenrend are so irrelevant nobody even noticed they closed and didn't let their 2 remaining talents keep their IPs.
>>
>>88862707
Given what those talents said, chances are the company closed because the talents gave up and not the other way round
>>
>>88862707
wasn't it that both Haruna and Rurumi graduated, leading to the corpo's closure, as opposed to the other way around? they didn't keep their IPs because they graduated, I don't think either have reincarnated afaik

>>88863352
I know Rurumi said "I don't think I'll ever stream again" and now goes by ixopod on twitter (her pinned post "explains" her graduation). What did Haruna rebrand to?
>>
>>88863503
oh god damn, I think I just found her. can't check because her twitch has no vods, but a lot of anons seem to think it's her + the apex thing lines up. might try to catch a stream. sadly except for the Haruna graduation cameo there's no sign of Doc, but I'm happy that she's still alive and kicking at least.

heavenrend was a black company and am tired of people saying it wasn't. ips died with them.
>>
reminder that the BLACKEST company, WACTOR still exists by a different name!
>>
>>88863935
>>88863300 (me)
I suppose I stand corrected, I wasn't aware that Haruna reincarnated, and that does change things a fair bit. If it was a black company, I at least hope that not giving the IPs was the worst they did. It pains me to think that Doc and the other talents might've been mistreated during their time there and that it might've contributed to their decisions to leave. Unironically, thank you for letting me/us know.
>>
>>88864074
I don't think they were mistreated. Not supported, but that is not mistreatment.
I just know Rurumi put her heart and soul into her 2.0 and it is a shame she only got to use it for like 2 months before it died.
Haruna respawning and Rurumi coming up with an OC of ixopod that looks Rurumi adjacent makes me not believe the "the talents moved on from vtubing" rhetoric. Rurumi will be back streaming one day, otherwise the ixopod OC would not exist.
>>
>>88864199
that's good to hear, at least. I hope that Woomy and Haruna do well in the future. I'm still sad that there's no sign of Doc coming back though, she was the one I liked the most. If you were in /corpo/ for a bit, I was the one guy who was continually looking for Juliet Winters for a while, and while I'm glad she got that graduation stream cameo I can't help but wish she'd come back... anyhow, nice to meet a fellow Heavenrend (talent) enjoyer in the wild

No.
for most of the girls in Phase Connect, vtubing is a part time thing or hobby. they do not have many that are selling themselves out and putting all of their eggs into the vtubing basket, and Phase is one of the most stable groups. So that should tell you something if your looking to start and thinking you're gonna make this happen full time.

>>88864199
Unlike >>88843525, Heavenrend at least delivered their merch without problems and faster than most other corpos do, at least in my experience despite me being on a different continent

Brave properties are a money pit. They throw large money at 3d and ads, they bot subs and views, but bots don't dono and buy merch or show up for concerts. Their runners have endless money so they will just keep throwing it away until they get tired of it I guess. They are trying to fake it until they make it, and they haven't made it yet. The truth is in the supas.

I am moreso concerned for PixelLink because they are legit good, but if a couple money makers don't emerge they will probably go the way of every non-Phase small corpo.

>>88872123
tbf when I speak of Brave, I only speak of their EN operations I could not give a shit about their JP side. Their money all comes from Japan.

On the EN side, I would put PixelLink ahead of them in terms of most promise. PixelLink is organic and true they are a startup with a dream being run the right way seemingly. Brave's EN properties are lagging way behind in the areas that matter. They simply don't make money. They spend a shitload of money handing out 3D models nobody ahs earner and 3D concerts few people show up to and have gotten no return on it and likely will never.

Doesn't sound like a bad plan, really.
Any halfway decent chuuba should be able to pick a millionaire or at least a lawyer or doctor making 6 figures from her audience. It's also likely an accomplished professional wouldn't be a total creep.
Think of 60's air hostesses. That job was just a fast track for being a mistress and hopefully a wife for someone who could afford to fly regularly.
>>
>>88803761
Many such cases
>>
>>88803423

>>88858657
