  It’s not just a Hololive thing; Vshojo was an outlier in that it’s talents could maintain their identities when they left the company, but every other Vtubet agency does the same thing.

    Didn’t Vshojo have their own variety of fuckery?

      Yeah, they stole half a million in donations their talents had made for a charity

        And then the entire company collapsed over the course of like 3 days.

      Embezzlement/fraud iirc. But it was small proportionally in total viewership: Image

      The real comparison would probably be between corporate and independent vtubers overall.

        Weird that VSPO is counted separately when it’s a subsidiarity of BraveGroup, which manages or “manages” a lot of different vtuber orgs. They would be higher if all the orgs were counted together.

        Also, they’re starting to have their own fuckary now.

  That’s just the way Japanese do these things, look at the rules their YouTuber and what not have to stick to, talking about this stuff could be real, serious legal ramifications. Craziness.

  meh. Anyone from that big of a company that wants to be found again, will be found again. Cover also doesn’t seen punish their talents for honest mistakes like when Kiara had her little slipup on her personal account. This biggest issue happened when Mel shared some internal company matters with a friend she trusted, which because Cover is publicly traded, could count as Insider Trading and the company couldn’t look the other way.

  That’s just what IP does to culture. The actors are people, but the Vtubers themselves are characters owned by hololive.
