Is that why he's vague posting on PL?

>spend money on projects
>doesn't make profit
>go into debt
Holos have too much to do, while no one cares about homos so they have little to do

>>89940057
Wrong person

>>89940221
Why the fuck would he spent money on projects when everyone knows they don't make money and cry about it?

>>89940680
Plenty creatives do this. It's a delusion because they surround themselves with positive reinforcement and ignore all dissent or criticism. Then reality hits.

>>89940511
Who?

>>89940057
no

>>89940680
Because going to Japan to do idol shit is mandatory?

>>89939984
Typical, the tranny is having a meltdown about how hard his life is

>>89940762
But literally all vtubers acknowledge that big projects make no money. He hasn't even released a cover in a year

>>89939984
He thinks he should get S-tier concierge support for his projects when he has the numbers of a mediocre indie even with all the support and stuff Tempus has gotten over the years. For a long long time, Cover gave those guys way more support than far, far more important gens (like Myth); it's getting toned down to what they always deserved because it didn't work, they weren't able to take that excessive support and actually succeed.

Altare is one of those talents who literally owes everything to Cover. he's not like many Holo girls who can credibly claim to have given at least as much as they've received from the company. The balance, in his case, all lies with Cover. He would still be a total nobody if not for them, he's not really particularly outstanding. So he should probably chill the fuck out, or just quit and go try to make a run of it as an indie.

>>89940912
How much are you getting paid to write this?

>>89940680
Have you ever heard the term “you need to spend money to make money?” This retard probably thought if he invested enough time and money into a project, he would get a return on it cause it would get more views… but he forgets that he’s a member of homostars that the hololive fanbase as a whole couldn’t give two shits about him or anything he does

>>89940961
How much am I getting paid to express grievances about the most annoying and entitled gen of welfare recipients ever, whose very existence almost destroyed the far more profitable and important Hololive EN? Not a single cent.

>>89940906
He's the one who financed a 3D studio right? Ame could eventually make back her investment, but that's very retarded for a homostar. He overestimated his financial ability. Plenty holos can go into debt for 3D lives etc but their income always make it back up for them.

If even the homos are starting to doompost, even on their pl's as well, then things are not looking good for Holo en

>>89940961
Like 590 PHP for every (You) I get. Honestly a pretty good deal for just shitposting

Half of myth and promises need to get axed to make a room for a new gen, I support this decision.

>>89940906
Do you know what a loss leader is? It’s a product sold at a loss to attract more customers. For example, super markets don’t make any profit on milk, it costs them money to sell you milk, but they are fine with that because milk attracts people to the store, and then those people buy other stuff that does make a profit.

That’s sort of the idea behind big vtuber/youtuber projects. The project itself does not earn any money, but hopefully, it will get more people to check you out, and then they’ll hopefully go watch your streams or videos, which is where they make their money back.

>>89941096

He was in his garage. But keep on coping

>>89939984
Why is my wife Rie talking to homostars

>>89941153
Nah, he's going menhera about his work projects. Something about a free mocap suit coming a few months later than expected or some shit, who knows, these guys have gotten this idea that they're important and Cover needs to bend over backwards to enable their every stupid whim and unprofitable project idea

>>89941188
True, but its not just the homos doomposting but the girls as well

>>89941215
Doesn't matter if it's in his mom's basement, it's an investment that evidently flopped and made him go menhera among other flop investments.

>>89941196
Seems like that's gonna be the case with how fast Justice came out, looks like Cover is preemptively filling up the slots for when more EN members leave next year

>>89941101
Nah, it just means that the well of special treatment has run dry for them, cover invested time and money into the homos and they want a return

>>89941196
Shit get too crowded on NA prime actually, not a bad idea. Two from each gen gone equal new gen (4)

Get rid of all the fucking EN homos already, fucking leeches.

>>89941344
Is that why Fauna is also vague posting on her PL?

>>89940051
Mane-chan managed to piss off Ina. This is the girl who calmly soloed pre-nerf Radahn while underleveled. Fucking *nothing* makes this girl mad.

>>89941215
It's still probably ~$10-15k (suits, computers, cameras, sensors) that the dude had no hope of ever recouping. It's a classic holostar blunder to massively overspend on some crazy project without a real plan of getting a return.

>>89941409
Nah, and this homo isn't the only one who was doomposting

I thought Phase girls didn't interact with homos, why did 4chan lie to me

He realized Hololive is not a charity.

>>89941534
Cover pays for at least one free suit per talent (these days, Myth never got such an extravagant free gift that I know of) and also supports Mocopi Home 3D. Last I heard, anything else is on the talents.
The free suits I believe are Rokoko, about $2.5k. What exactly do you think they should have done for Altare? Fund his entire retarded studio setup so he can do a handful of boring 3D streams with Machina x Flayon to fewer viewers than Shiori gets on superchat readings, and get a few hundred bucks in SCs?

This is a fucking business, it's a for-profit enterprise, it's not welfare. These guys are supposed to make more money than they cost.

Note this homo also got his new outfit indefinitely delayed

>>89941425
They left her stranded in Japan and didn't pay for anything. I'd be pissed too

>>89941730

The funny thing is, this idea actually works for popular vtubers. It just doesn't for Holostars.
Altare is trying to operate like he's a top-half Hololive girl when he's actually less popular than many /lig/ indies.

>>89939984
Probably the stress from having two of his "friends" bouncing on him, leaving him and a guy who's known for being a glue sniffer as the only old guard left to support holostars EN.
Also I hate middle management at work, I could only imagine what it would be like if I had to lean on them all the time, especially if their is multiple steps of management

The orc did pretty much say that corpos will hire a branch not to make profit, but to ensure the competitor doesn't have a monopoly on that niche.
Do with that information as you will.

>>89939984
Good news happened.
>>89941276
Who cares? All the "doomposting" never went anywhere Selen-killing-Nijisanji level, and nothing is truly shocking anymore after Cover going public, going back to China and new homo-friendly gen. Homostars dying is a plus, and most of the girls are not like their first 2 years and some even stopped streaming, hard to sympathize at this point.

>>89940057
NO, it actually is the job this time

>>89942302
No, that's dumb, it's all supposed to make a profit. It may not be the only purpose but it still has to make money at some point even if it takes a while to spin up.
I don't think Randon is retarded so I'm gonna assume you're misremembering what he said.

>>89942302
I would agree with you if their initial goals were not
>reach 1 million subs
or other delusions of grandeur, nah these retards were fed some kind of delusion by the previous EN management team, and now that they rehauled the whole structure they are left with nothing.

>>89941882
The girls problem is literally suffering from success, which brought too much work to their tables. The homos are the opposite. They aren't growing and no investment is bringing them more attention. And there is only so much management can do. It's won't be fun to be a content creator and see people in the same company hitting milestones and shit while you stagnate for years.

This. It’s a mix of everything when it comes to Holostars hated and stagnating. A fans being all positive thinking it’s fine when they really should support as much as they can, management not knowing what the fuck they’re doing, and to top it all off the members BOTH JP and EN not wanting to even try to grow. It’s honestly ridiculous

>>89942578
So that's taking a risk, but that's not the same as "They're not ever expected to make a profit".
You take a chance but the expectation is still that it pays off. If it doesn't, it's a failure and the resources will eventually get scaled down. which is what has been happening this past year to Holostars which is why they're all going menhera.

>>89941755

Vesper's buffest non-event content hovered around high 3ks, like ~3.8k and such. But those were once a month streams, not his average stuff which typically hovered just under 2k.
The weakest HoloENs peak higher, and average higher, even in the same time period. Go actually look at the numbers, you have seriously delusional ideas about how popular he actually was and how popular ENs actually were (and are). It's actually, seriously, not close at all.

Kiara is comfortably above Vesper's average, her normal solo gameplay content at that time would be nearly double his CCV on a routine basis and her collabs blow him out of the water by miles. I don't know what other proof you need, your ideas about his popularity are just not based in facts, period.
In June 2023, Vesper had 4/19 streams above 2k CCV. In the same month, Kiara had... 15/15 above 2k. All of them.

Altare isn't important enough to really damage Holostars EN, being totally real. He's an OG but he's just not popular enough.
Bettel, on the other hand, would be a huge blow. He's their only standout anchor talent since Vesper and Magni are gone, and you can't have an entire branch of bench players.

>>89946185
Gamma was literally terminated and the JP homos just moved on.

>>89946398

>>89946620
I don't disagree with your overall point but comparing Gamma, a member of uproar, the least popular and least important gen in all of Holopro, to a gen 1 Tempus isn't a 1:1.

>>89942646
>members BOTH JP and EN not wanting to even try to grow
I mean, what are they supposed to do when half of the time they DO try something, this board gets fucking uppity about it. And then when the inevitable "well what should they do?" gets asked, you see disingenuous shit or stuff that they would need resources for, which then starts the "they're taking money from the girls" shit all over again.

>>89946827
Truth is, they were fucked from the start. They were doomed by old management's approach to their debut and nothing can be done about it.
Having no EN gens for a year while putting out two gens of Holostars, the blatant forced integration, the blatant miserable low morale in actual HololiveEN at the time... It's all too much, the fanbase of the girls will never forgive them. It wasn't the actual talents' fault, but that doesn't matter in the end.
They're not totally blameless, they've had their bad PR moments (Jurard is the MVP of this for 2024, Vesper was for 2023 and 2022) but all of that is just a drop in the bucket compared to the horrible start they had.

>>89947145
Doomposters like you actually think the average holo viewer cares about some "grudge" from two years ago with an unrelated branch?

>>89947482
Unrelated branch? Nowadays, but not back then.
You're delusional if you don't think there was a huge push towards a merge. It was resisted by the talents and fought off by the fans once it was clear that HolostarsEN was delaying new gen debuts, that whoever was in charge back then considered them a substitute for a third EN gen, not something parallel.
Putting out that second gen of Tempus after 6 months was a fatal mistake, who knows what would have happened if they hadn't.

>>89946827
The truth is some of them are trying, but genuinely, nothing fucking works. It's actually kind of mind-boggling. Rikka and Oga set up various successful streams with huge numbers and none of it translated to growth for the branch. Astel's been uploading dance shorts and his subs still don't move, Izuru actually branched out and got a viral clip of him getting along really well with Shaka, the result? Nothing. Temma has been autistically getting master with every SF6 character, something that would probably garner attention if a Holo or Nijimale did it, but nope. He organized Holostars Rust too, which didn't get outside attention.

Even Roberu, who people want to laude as the only one who "made it," doesn't grow past his 1k average, he doesn't get boosted from streamer servers, his numbers kept dipping down to 600 in VCR MC that he didn't even stick around to the end.

>>89942646
Axel spent 9k on song covers that were cancelled by Cover in the last second. Hakka also had covers cancelled. How can they try to grow if management fucks them up all the time??

>thread is about phasecuck
>discussion are deflecting to holoen
not very subtle arent you phasecuck?

>>89948056
Honestly, sincerely, I wonder why they even stay? Graduate and go for the "ex-corpo" boost. No Holostar has tried it in 2024, it's like literally the meta right now.
I'm amazed one of them hasn't done it yet. Perhaps the timing of contract renewals is why. It's almost definitely free money and success for the first handful out of the door. They have almost nothing to lose.
Armis likely can't do it because they just aren't popular or notable enough but a lot of Tempus could.

>>89948056

its about time they are all graduate

>>89947602
You just proved that you only get information from the catalog since you're talking about the infamous "hololive en is having a civil war" rrat.

>>89948181
homos aren't holoen but nice try

>>89941483
We call you guys phasecucks for a reason you know

>>89947880
Number anons sure don't understand how success actually works and that it doens't happens over night, i wonder if hololive had these same posts when they were low 3views.

>>89948544
This board and number cancer didn't exist then.

>>89948427
I'm not? Hololive EN never had a civil war.
Hololive EN had bad management from 2020-2022. That same management structure was, in the early days, used for the new male branch (this is no longer the case, they're separate now). The head guy was fired and replaced in December 2022. We literally know this for a fact.
That bad manager had ideas that the EN market was different, and that he could make Tempus into "EN3". Tempus literally has a 3 in their logo, the same gimmick they did for ReGloss.
None of this shit worked out because most talents in Hololive EN didn't play ball (because it was a retarded and terrible idea, and a huge misread of the market).

>>89939984
Kobo broke up with him.

>>89948544
if its still not working after 6 years its probably time for homostar to graduate yeah

>>89948544
Overnight? Sister, please.
Fun fact: The time period between Tokino Sora's debut and Myth's debut was 3 years and 5 days.
The gap between Holostars JP first gen and Holostars Tempus? 3 years, 1 month. A BIGGER GAP.

Holostars to now? 5 years, 5 months, and 13 days. When does the success part start? How much longer do these motherfuckers need? A few more years? There are vtubers who have had entire successful careers and retired before these guys ever become relevant.

>>89949214
I know it's hard to understand for a numberino like you but everyone has a different metric of success.

>>89948225
Some already test the waters and can barely hold 100 viewers outside of one. Imagine being a nobody with the stars branding and even less without it.

>>89948703
You have no hard evidence for any of this

>>89941256
Your wife sings about sucking bbc, cuck

>>89949909
What cope measure of success applies to Holostars? Do the goalposts have to be an unsigned integer?

>>89942302
The niche that Nijisanji already had a monopoly on at that time? I don’t doubt that’s true in some cases but not for Holostars EN.

>>89950114
She has to relate to her audience somehow

These guys suffer from an identity crisis. They are supposed to be the male version of holoen, but they don't do any concerts. There's no real reason to follow them over any other streamer so it's no wonder their growth is so bad

>>89949964
Yeah but that's Vesper and Magni, it was a different time, they graduated in 2023 and a lot of the sisters had serious grievances about how it went down. And Vesper is doing OK, it's just Magni who's a 2view, and it's because he took too long to become a vtuber and his model and design are HORRIBLE, and apparently his content changed too much.
One of the new holostars, in the post-Selen world, with better prep (a model and debut ready to go) could totally catch the wave. Even more so if they shit talk their management a bit for drama boost.

>>89949975
The new management stuff is all from Linkedin, I'm not going to link it but you've surely seen it floating around, we've known it for almost two years. It's solid.
The Tempus = attempted EN3 stuff is speculation based on their logo and how it all went down. Seems pretty obvious to me though.

>>89949909
Yeah Hololive has a metric of success where they make a lot of money and do big concerts and events and have huge merch and brand collabs.
And holostars have a metric of success where they get terrible numbers that never grow or even get worse, whine all the time, get dogshit generic merch, and are irrelevant.

>>89950253
so they are like holoen for the first 2 years

>>89950412
I'm not talking about vesper and magni i'm talking about the ones currently in.

Anon, you aren't even arguing, you're doing the shitposting equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and going "Lalalala".
Holostars numbers are low, and actually getting worse. Both branches are flirting with their all-time low viewership. How is that successful by any metric? This is the part where you actually explain yourself using some sort of logic

>>89951328
>all-time low viewership. How is that successful
what does low viewership have to do with getting your projects blocked and canceled by management?

>>89950253
They're doing fine geez why does everyone treats streamers in their 20's like they're babies?

>>89948703
>and a huge misread of the market
Personally I suspect it wasn’t a misread of the market but rather an attempt to expand the consumer base. I suspect Cover doesn’t want the consumer base to stagnate and so the company is trying to branch out into other demographics. Plenty of companies do this and I believe Cover is still trying this approach. The thing is with expanding a demographic is that you have to use the boiling frogs approach but too many companies are too retarded and/or impatient to do that. In Cover’s case the company is also vastly overestimating the potential demand for male-only vtubers (that don’t fujobait).

>>89951328
>All time low viewer ship
You can really tell when they don't know about the time miyabi was the only one streaming

>>89951380
What does getting projects blocked and cancelled by management have to do with you saying they're successful by their own "metric of success", which is what this reply chain is actually about?

>>89951485
OK, let me clarify
>All-time low viewership (ignoring the earliest year or two where they were lower than the slime on a modern small indie's boot, literally irrelevant peasants making less money than a McDonald's cashier)
There, are you happy? I thought that part was implied but I'll make it explicit next time

>>89951213
You're crying because you can't even win an argument with an empty room. I literally just asked for a single metric of success Holostars fits in your eyes and you're admitting it doesn't exist.

>>89951563
Yes, you really underestimate how easy it is to maintain a vtuber when most of them already treat this like a sidejob.

>>89951655
The guys themselves may be happy making a subsistence wage (they actually aren't, except for the ambitionless numales and the literal third-world hut dwellers in the new EN gens) but Cover isn't happy about it. They need to be growing to justify their existence and getting resources, not shrinking.

>>89951602
They literally are higher than the 98 percent of vtubers streaming, do you know how many indies would graduate to have the stuff holostars has?

>>89951727
Ah now we got a secret Cover investor here, tell us when JP gen 7 comes out anon?

>>89951744
>They're doing better than a 1view on twitch with a lisp and a disabled wheelchair fetish demon model!
Metric of success indeed kek

>>89951813
I don't need to be an insider to know Cover isn't happy with Holostars' growth, I just have to see them lose all their privileges and become menhera crybabies because they can't justify wasting so much money on them anymore. aka what this entire thread is about

>>89951744
>They literally are higher than the 98 percent of vtubers
So as long as there are thousands of people doing worse, they're successful. Even though they have an entire corporation behind them with staff, capex etc. Ok.

>>89951282
Depends on whether or not it references "El Silencio" or whatever they call that bait whenever anyone criticizes the Bau Baus

>>89952097
We don't speak of El Silencio... Far too traumatic...

>>89951505
you were trying to imply all of this started because he didn't see success which isn't related to anything being discussed

>>89951917
This entire thread was not even about altare, it was a shitpost about phase, you know i have yet to see ANY privileges that holostars get over any of the girls when vtubers are cheap to maintain, in fact you shitposters are just assuming this situation is about the entire branch when it could just be something unique to Altare, the other members aren't even saying anything.

>>89952137
Brace yourself. The one year is approaching

>>89952288
Nobody even knows who the phase girl is, the discussion pivoted from that pretty fast.
Phase antis and fans both highly overestimate how popular or relevant their company is, nobody cares as much as they think unless it's Pippa.

And it's true.
The trend is down, down, down, although if it makes you feel better at least Holostars JP is on a little localized uptick right now, things got REALLY REALLY dire for them in the summer.
But overall, both branches are in decline.

>>89951727
OK then let them do projects, songs, covers, in-branch events, whatever. Yeah, not everything they want will get approved, maybe some will be stinkers, maybe some ideas lose the talent money, but it really seems like they aren't even allowed to try. Fuck, they wouldn't let Altare host a book club when he debuted. A fucking BOOK CLUB. (It's probably the same reason they shot down Mumei's history show idea as well.)

My favorite random thing I've seen /here/ complain about is why StarsEN has this isekai world lore and "they're too lazy/embarrassed to do anything with it" when it's extremely well known that they get shut down by management all the time or out of nowhere. It took Altare and Axel actually begging Yagoo in-person to let them do lore VPs after nearly 2 years of existing. And it must have sold well since Armis just got a lore Voice Drama. Like God damn, a smaller ENReco style event would be perfect for them...

>>89953389
Yeah yeah, just like past year and the other past year and the other...

>>89953552
Anon, I'm not saying they're going to be disbanded. I'm just saying they're stagnating and not growing. Which is literally true.

>>89953343
Minor spelling mistake

The book club getting turned down and autistic lore would all be Omega from back in the day and he's gone now, good fucking riddance. Can't speak to stuff that's getting cancelled nowadays, no idea about any of that. It's certainly true that navigating Cover's Japanese autism is a huge challenge, no doubt.

>>89953552
For the past 5 years they’ve been stagnant and you’re fine with that?

>>89946235
That's why I said some streams in my first post. You guys make it seem like the en girls were in the sky while the stars were below the dirt, but the fact that SOME of those stars streams were above SOME of en shows they were at least in the same league.
Nobody's denying that Hololive is more popular than Holostars, obviously they are and have been. Your numbers don't surprise me.

>>89954172
Good lord what is this cope?

>>89953995
Getting model updates in record time, Collab ban being shortened, 3D rule of no overlap just when the new homos got 3Ds, the whole holostars shill idea to play e-sport games with the girls, the list goes on and on and you know it but the answer will always be "I-Is t-that all??

>>89954778
As if nipstars is doing so much better? Anon you may not remember but Tempus was massively eclipsing Stars JP when they started. Mostly because at the time they were producing content more varied than listlessly starting up Apex or mining a mountain of sand in MC which was the average JP Stars stream at the time but I digress

>>89954190
That's stupid. So because the biggest holostar could barely touch superchat readings of the lowest HoloENs on rare occasions, the branches are "sorta close" or something? Fucking nope, anon. The gulf between them is and was vast. You're just coping hard.

>>89955089
What does a program to allow important talents to retire without fully severing the tie have to do with holostars being failures? What a strange non sequitur.

>>89953867
So let me get this straight. The boys are privileged because Cover was promoting their newest branch on Twitter and YouTube (nevermind that Advent's debut was spammed the exact same way a year later), the subreddit got locked (iirc all initial debuts had the subreddit locked for 24 hours or something like that), and a 2 minute animated short when VG debuted.

That's your evidence.

>>89956656
>iirc all initial debuts had the subreddit locked for 24 hours or something like that
100% untrue bullshit.
The subreddit has only been locked on rare occasions, always for true disasters. IIRC Coco-Taiwan was one example.
It was locked because Tempus2 debuts were treated like they were going to be a big yab and drama was anticipated. T-chan knew that fans would be discontent when new homos were debuted 6 months after the first gen while everyone was clamoring for EN3.

>>89956625
If they were a failure they would have gotten rid of holostars when miyabi was a 2view

>>89955064
Content such as?

>>89956797
1. That's not true, Yagoo openly admitted at the time that they were his personal passion project and immune from numbers requirements
2. This still has fucking nothing to do with Ame being an affiliate, your logic is nonsensical

I genuinely think fagni and vesper ruined any real chance the branch had

Your screenshot doesn't even contradict what I said. They never locked it for debuts before Tempus2. Those random retards are talking about exactly what I said; it was locked because it was going to be big drama, and it was, it arguably killed off the last rep the homos had with Hololive fans for good. they're saying it in anti-hololive terms because lots of holostars fans are crypto antis, but that's just phrasing.

Out of curiosity, what if someone starts a petition where Cover sells the Holostars branch to Brave? That way, Hololive is now an all girls thing and sisters can still watch their homos. How many signatures would be needed to get the message through?

Seriously I can give a pass on Vesper since the writing was on the wall with the suspension and ignoring collabs, etc. It’s Magni that boggled my mind because he was somewhat fine for a holostar, even got his model adjusted yet he STILL decided to leave because he thought he could do better.

>>89963917
both of them joined for selfish reasons. vesper admitted he only did it as a joke and when responsibilities started to pile up he went full menhera. magni did it and instantly used it to grow his personal network. remember all those outside collabs with his twitch friends? cover fucked up by letting two self interested shits sneak through auditions when you have someone like Ruze who genuinely seems to care and does weekly project streams because he loves the job.

>>89964254
