It's almost guaranteed you're going to see more members graduate sooner rather than later. I mean why not? You get in Hololive, build an audience and split because the benefits of being a popular western indie outweigh anything about being in a nip corporation. You just know a good chunk of EN was salivating seeing those memberships and view count. Which of course will go down but you're in a better position at the end of the day.

Except she literally took her entire audience with her. There's not one sapling that won't follow and all the attention just gains her more fans. You can say she's cheating a corporation but who gives a fuck? That's the game baby. It's a victimless grift
>>
>>93850901
Not even a fucking grift at all. Most bungled gen from management's end, toughed it out for years and alluded to JP business autism fucking things up recently, which I'm inclined to believe. The best case scenario as far as I'm concerned is that hololive "broadens their horizons" after seeing how well former members reclaim their revenue share.
>>
>>93852286
She mentioned multiple times how she wants to play so many retro games and modded skyrim. That was definitely a shot across hololive's perms autism.
>>
>>93852451
they opened an american branch, couldn’t they just transfer en over so they don’t have to deal with jp autism over perms?
>>
The real reason for graduating was Cover not letting her use her other accounts to stream old shitty games, even though it's infeasible/impossible to get written perms for those games.

No Delutaya did. She was making 5 figures a month on her fanbox. If 2 streams is all it takes anyone who was with Hololive for a significant time will crush it.
>>
>>93844040
did you guys think she would just debut with a completely different personality and voice? she's just being herself, it's what the fans like. the person behind the model.
>>
>>93852664
I mean, this is just how Japan is. They work for almost an extra 4 hours more than the rest of the world for less productivity. Anyone going into that world expecting anything else doesn't deserve anything imo. It's a literal hell to the point that people kill themselves to escape.

Fuck, the whole Isekai genre is built on how oppresive japanese society is. When the common trope of a genre is "workman dies and wakes up in a better world", you have to know things are bleak.
>>
>>93852771
I never understood why they dont allow "totally not affiliated" RM stream video games.
>>
>>93852664
i think you're talking about the en offices to handle merch. yes, it's just an office. no it's not a store front where you go in and some chick is dressed like pekora.
>>
>>93852664
japs are retarded no matter how you slice it. i remember when Gura was only allowed to play the japanese version of RE8 with subtitles because somehow they couldnt get perms for the english version.
>>
>>93852929
Anon, that is NOT her rm-self. Don't drink the kool-aid too much brother. She's just being fauna still, which is fine. But she's not her roommate.
>>
>>93852929
pretty sure she was using sound bytes from fauna streams for her intro

Are you ignoring the part that Delta was extremely active right before holo? lol.

It's the age of the indie. She saw the writing on the wall, and seized her opportunity.
Her merch sold out and she made more than most anons will in a year today.

>>
>>93843726
It's almost like it's her day job or something...

And they said the reason she quit was because she doesn't want to do idol stuff and was forced to do it while it was all along about the money not being enough which causes the disagreement

Noooooo you can't carry on as a continuation of yourself with all the bells and whistles, you have to start from zerooooo.

>>93843726
I mean, my oshi can't really pull this sort of scheme since she never retired her PL even after joining hololive, so memberships, merch and all that stuff never went away. I've actually never given money to her holo persona; only her PL.

Yeah, I mean that's just all streamers kinda. I don't really get why giving streamers so much money is just the norm now. I remember when giving a dollar or two was like... it. And that was on Patreon. They might have like a $5 or $10 tier but those were rarely bought.

Nowadays, I see folks dropping an easy $20 each stream. Obviously the streams aren't daily, but we're talking about $100 at the end of the month - every month. Have people gone retarded or something?
>>

>>
>>93853984
More like she wants easy money without putting in too much efforts or investment.
>”want to be on stage”

No shit why you think all the unicorns are losing their shit. She just set a precedent that could destroy hololive en in the long run if cover don't raise their salaries. All their unicorns friendly whores who are lazy as fuck and thought they can get away with exploiting these mentally ill buffoons can simply go indie stream when they want because the simps and cucks will always follow.

Is the same fucking game... is there less gore in jp or something I'm not aware of? Why the fuck do they need perm for an English game which is the same as jp just in English did they sent us supreme court a letter asking permission to stream the game in English or something jesus what a fucking drag.

>>93843726
And Ame/Dooby did the opposite, her vods aren't even monetized, what's your point?

If you plan on leaving, you should prepare early to maximize the return buff and hopefully fund future endeavors. If you leave without a plan you end up like Dooby, Rin, etc. just going MIA for a few months while you settle shit, forcing you to effectively start from scratch.

Every heard of "internet gentificatrion"? Anon, some people make 10x as much as you do while barely being 1.2x as smart or efficient as you. So they have cash to burn. It is why in the next years entry level gaming cards equivalent to the GOAT 1650S and 1660S will triple or quadruple in price + inflation. Because Nvidia knows it can ask however it wants from people and richfags will gladly pay up.
>>
>>93844040
She only made references to Fauna stuff she came up with. Not anything Cover created.
>>
>>93852451
Why do people blame Hololive for all the perm problems? Isn't it the IP holders that are the issue? Genuine question.

>>93858781
Unfortunately, most JP corpos have that problem.
It's why JP could play FromSoft and Atlus easily but Mori and Biboo had to beg for months/years.
>>
>>93857891

not everyone who paid $5 and bought a $60 plushie for fauna is working a six-figure job, inflation is real but cmon you think all of fauna fans live in big cities with larger salaries and are also working those jobs with larger salaries? it's just male loneliness at its peak right now while girls talking to you is just a few clicks away. vtuber fans dont make more money than average people, same as how figure collectors or TCG collectors dont either
>>
>>93859273
This.
The gigachad working out at the gym that drives a sport car and can get sex from any woman isn't the one paying for this stuff. Is the average person in need of affection who is buying all this stuff.
>>
>>93857891
I won't deny that companies are trying to squeeze us for all we're worth. Still just strange to see people do it themselves with no pressure exerted on them.

>>93858657
Probably. I just hope the younger zoomers wake up to what they're doing.

>>93859273
I will agree that I don't think all those fans are making 6 figures. I would chalk it up to male loneliness but I've seen it just all over the place. At some point I do think it may just be a turning of the age like >>93858657 said.
>>
>>93843726
absolute fucking grifter, its wild. Not even trying to hide it, just shows up and says GIVE ME MONEY. Of all the holos, I really didn't think Fauna would be the one to really be like this at heart. I guess you gotta admire the hustle.

And make no mistake, hololive didn't just forget about fauna or any other former member. They are watching and kicking themselves as they see individuals rake in that sweet pure, what is it, 70%? All for one lowly indie to split 1 one way?
>>
>>93861364
>All for one lowly indie to split 1 one way?
Eh, only for the ones who don't grow the channel.
For someone like Fauna or Doki, she'll probably be paying a team with that.
>>
>>93843726
The fact that she doesn't even feel free to be herself again upon going indie really puts a lie to all theories about why she left. How the fuck can someone who has been making corpo money for all those years be right back to sucking dick on the street and begging for spare change this quickly? She's either cynical as fuck or having a long-term woman moment.

I don't think that Nimi has quite the ambition that someone like Doki does. Doki is crazy about doing large scale events, doing things for fans, etc. Therefore she probably won't need to have the same kind of payroll. I could definitely be wrong, though.
>>
>>93866491
>>93864889
>people buying plushies and memberships is... LE BAD!
>>
>>93866684
nta but doki is a rare case in which she really-was being truly held back and dismissed by niji management and her leaving was a chance to take off the chains. other girls redebuting all want to try to tap into that energy of being some cast-down fallen hero who is rising back up in some epic comeback story to fight the injustices done to her, because doki is that. but in reality that case is probably never going to be repeated. fauna and ame's circumstances just look like petty bickerings compared to doki's background. doki's good vibes ascendant-vtuber-jesus energy is being leeched but only fucking idiots don't see this.
>>
>>93866684
Ah, yeah, definitely.
I just meant that she's likely going to have her own team and clearly knows exactly what she'll need to do and who she'll need to hire in order to have a successful career, unlike say, Dooby right now who's just struggling to get her internet working and to keep her PC from crashing every 20 minutes, much less get started on merch.
>>
>>93843726
Kek
>>
>>93866953
i respect the hell out of doki and really enjoy her streams, but i wasn't saying that to diminish nimi, at least. i don't think she was doing this with the intent of grifting or trying to ride some kind of drama wave. just that doki goes through money like water for her ambitious projects.
>>93867118
For sure, she'll need some help to manage the things she does get, but I'm willing to bet she'll be getting a larger cut per dollar earned than she was in holo. Dooby... bless her heart is struggling, yeah. Some of it definitely not her fault, some of it she probably could have mitigated with a bit more forethought.
>>
>>93864546
imagine how unfair fauna's demands were for cover to actually let her go
>>
>>93867849
im starting to believe it really is just perms autism, since corpo can't really compromise on something entirely dependent on other companies' approval.
>>
>>93867956
I doubt she'll quit over perms autism, or anyone at all. She definitely wanted a bigger revenue cut or share and was dunked from it

I know this is stars, but hearing it described like this really opened my eyes to just how bad the perms autism could be.
Absolutely they'll never reach the same number of eyes solo as they would in Holo, but if all they want to do is stream comfortably and entertain people, it's probably a worthwhile trade.
>>
>>93867956
Didn't Vesper have a melty because the guy responsible for getting perms screwed him over?
>>
>>93868157
i mean, if she's not too engaged in doing 3D lives or anything, her income is literally getting cut to pay some guy to say "no fun allowed". quitting just kind of makes sense at that point.
>>
>>93868224
yeah it's pretty fucking ridiculous when not only do a bunch of suits get to take their sweet time telling you what you can and can't play, but at times telling you when you can or can't fucking play them
>>
Lmao there's only a few girls that can get lucky in the indies doki mint nimi etc. If bae were to graduate I guarantee you she wouldn't have the same number in her next life stream as fauna did. The only girl right now in ID that can go indie and survive is kaela. If indies were so good Ollie would be there right now.
Right now only a few girls in holoen can top what nimi pulled those girls are fwmc mumei and gura the rest would not be as lucky.
>>
>>93868501
Be that may so it is still a job. She probably thought it's not worth the trouble anymore, and saw that redebuting is an easier way for more profit, and it showed.
>>
>>93868586
its probably not that bad to deal with if video gaming is a secondary goal and interest for you, but if it's your main audience engagement, it's going to be a huge pain in the ass. wish Fauna had the chance to start a HoloEN Gamers group.instead if things turning out the way they did.
>>
>>93868775
Gaming was always secondary to the idol slop.
>>
>>93868586
But thanks to build that relationship with those other companies Holo now are regular features in animes and even are producing music to a Gundam show.
>>
>>93864546
No company wants that big of a reliance on their talents, that's precisely how you get a dokibird situation.
>>
>>93868808
yeah, guess i can see why cover focuses on idolshit and merch though, a corpo doesn't really provide anything if its just to provide vidya perms, and they know any good streamer can just bail on their own.
>>
>>93868968
Yeah and that's relevant for the most popular of Holo talents. Not everyone got to benefit from that.
