the absolute state of myth

>Gura and Ina
Soft-retired at this point. They will NEVER return to regular streaming. As far as I, or anyone else is concerned, they may as well have already graduated. Stop coping and accept the facts, there are only 3 members of myth now.
>Ame
Debuffson continues to get lower and lower streaming numbers as she streams random garbage without any soul. Once touted as "la creatividad" for her inventive and unique streams, has lost all creative spark and now just streams the same soulless content over and over.
>Mori
Had one of the most catastrophic downfalls (in terms of numbers) of anyone I've ever seen. In the span of a single year has lost three-quarters of her audience and only gets a small fraction of the stream and music views that she once did. Her average CCV has started to even fall below Bae and Kiara, making her the WORST performing member of HoloEN and one of the worst in Hololive period. Even homos mog her at this point.
>Kiara
The only one that regularly streams, has maintained quality and hasn't reclined. She is in the best position of anyone in myth, which is sad to say, given how low of a bar that is. Kiara used to be the punching bag of all numberfags for the longest time and now, simply by not fucking up, she has ended up in the most solid position of anyone in myth. Embarrassing.

Okay, I finished reading the Cover document for investors. There isn't TOO much to say, unless you're really into the investment minutia of stuff like growth ratios, revenue stream diversification, and business terminology out the wazoo. But there is some stuff of note for you guys, so I'll post the notes I took while reading for everyone.
Holo Financial Notes:
>Superchats and Memberships: 38% of Revenue
>Concerts/Events: 16%
>Merch: 35%
>Collabs/Licenses: 10%
>All Revenue sources list "Profit share with VTuber" as a major cost, meaning the girls make good money on each
>Longterm COVER Business Plan:
>Step 1: Continue growing as usual
>Step 2: Make more licensing deals and fan events while continuing with Vtubing as usual
>Step 3: Launch HoloEarth as an MMO which directly super-charges our Vtubing business
>At no point do they plan on sidelining Vtubing as their growth model, but they want to utilize Vtubing to become entangled in all entertainment forms that Japan specializes in (Anime and Video Games, basically)
>COVER averaged out their revenue from each Vtuber to be about 1.5 million dollars each (by taking every person under contract and dividing the total revenue earned to each of them equally)
>COVER is currently and actively working on North American (or at least overseas for HoloEN) supply chains, so expect better merch prices as shipping costs decrease
>COVER's plan for HoloEarth: They call it "Metaverse," it's actually just an MMO, almost like PSO2?
>Most monetarily sus part: planned market for accessories and costume parts for an avatar. Equivalent to CS:GO skins? Or maybe Grand Exchange?
>they say that they want to sell digital merch on Holoearth on top of real life merch, so you better believe your ass is getting ohsi pins for five bucks a pop on that avatar character and limited time concert merch
>for major risks, COVER lists: Vtuber burnout, Youtube fucking them, and the risk of becoming too horny (literally write "if we become a threat to the public/moral order")
>there's a lot of technical stuff about growth rates and investment stabilization that won't interest most of you
>The big goals with this investment: MAKE PRETTIER VTUBER MODELS FOR 3D CONTENT, BUILD A NEW MOTION CAPTURE STUDIO SO THEIR BACKLOG ISN'T FUCKED, AND BUILD A HOLOLIVE APP
>a lot more investment stuff that people here wouldn't care about, like revenue flows
>interesting statistic: Ever since Myth debuts, COVER's overseas viewship ratio has been about 40% Overseas, 60% Japanese. But before Myth had debuted, the Overseas fan ratio had been growing, since around the start of COVID. So the Hololive overseas market was showing signs of popping off before the big pop-off.
>Cover keeps stats of "# of days until 100k subs, and this stat has sat at "Zero Days" for the last two years
>For their workforce, Management accounts for 17% of all workers, the game devs having 11%, VTuber developers at 35%, Marketing and Event Planners at 22%, and White Collar Office Workers at 14%.
>Mori and Suisei are specifically listed as strong brand drivers via music promotion (So are Chloe and Marine, but specifically via TikTok Zoomers)
>Cover specifiically said that their convention circuit was important to their growth, listing events like AnimeNYC and Crunchyroll Expo as big events (If you were at those cons, your picture is probably in an international investment document!)
There you go. Seems very standard, and mostly serves to show off what was probably obvious to everyone here already: Hololive makes a fuckton of money, the girls are all financially healthy, and so is their company as a whole.

Kiara - A human garbage who repeats the history of being a schizo bitch which later results in her being left out of everything, deserves a painful death for ruining Myth irreversibly
Mori - I don't think she deserves that amount of haters but the fact is that she's an annoying moron
Ame - A backstabbing two-faced bitch who thinks she's taken the moral high ground siding with human garbage like Kiara, deserves all the haters for what she did recently
Ina - I don't agree with her nepo hires but she's not popular so whatever right
Mumei - Orcschizo who successfully infiltrated holoEN, says "my time will come" in her rentry (she wants to go the regular schizo way and murder Kiara?? idk but sure hope so), throws one of the most loyal holoEN artists under the bus
Sana - A quitter who gives hololive her all only when she's about to leave

feel free to prove me wrong

take the red pill

>>40533175
It's because there is no HolostarsEN, it's all under the HoloEN blanket. So Tempus is like Myth and Council

Why is Cover forcing HoloEN to tweet made up stories of how happy and fun the Myth girls are right now?

I've been in this thread for a year now and noticed a lot of misconception about Towa that i want to clarify.

"Towa is not supported"

If i were a cold heart Corporation, i would have scarped her since years ago. But no she was given sponsorship, outfit, covers 3D, a whole ass concert, their 3D at when she first came out imo are even better than the rest of the girls(especially in object tracking) and 2 upcoming Gen. Also we all know Towa is Yagoo's personal project, and he was her drinking buddy and manager/mentor in their earlier days. I'd say that she is well supported in a way that don't undermine her success.

"Towa is not successful"

People here are blinded by the girls success to see Towa is doing pretty well themselves, some only do this as a part time job like Gen1,2 girls but the top girls who do this full time was averaging 10k-20k CCV (which is huge compare to average streamer and let you live supper comfortably) Subaru(who used to be homeless? correct me if i'm wrong) is moving to a better house, Matsuri was visiting host clubs as much as she's going to convenience store, lots of collaboration with different store and JP celebrities like the one just happened with ARGONAVIS. Calling her unsuccessful was like calling Pewdiepie poor compared to Elon.

"Towa shouldn't have marketed themselves as idol if they want to be successful"

Those who say this don't realize how big female idol group can get in Japan. For every group that goes big there's a dozen groups that are average and 100-1000 groups go unnoticeable. Female idol is a competitive market and Towa choose to become Holo despite knowing this, a big part of this sub fail to understand that Towa herself WANT to become idol. If the jobs description were to be different, you'll see these girls (whom you guys want to support) with completely different voices and even avatars.

"Towa need HoloEN to be successful"

No one know for sure, the Western community might give JP talents a significant buff in viewership at first in the vtuber boom but in the end it mostly come back to Jp/Japanese speaking viewers. We can see this with the decline in viewership of HaaChama to the lack of discussion of JP talents in this sub. EX: Korone stellar performant in her birthday live with barely anyone talk about in this sub (i myself want to be a lurker have to make a post about it to bump up the discussion); her getting sick right after and had to take a break too, no discussion ( this is not the 1 month long hiatus which is right after, that one got to the front page). English speaking viewer will priority English speaking talents not JP. Also i often see people point out at the new Luxiem group and their success as proof of Males Vtubers can be supper success in Western sphere. For this i'd say you are heavily mistaken, their viewership comes mostly from JP, TW, CN and SEA. You can see their CCV from barely above the Niji girls in NA primetimes went to triple in East Asia prime time. I have no doubt HoloEN will success as streamers go but unless going for English speaking fujo in EA is what they want, no one can really predict if they can be success at a level that satisfies this sub (aka Myth council) were they to chose to aim for only the Western market.

"Towa should be allowed to collab with the boys like this and this company"

This one really annoy me cuz it manage to do 2 thing: Being misinformation and being disrespected to the boys. First one is self explained, there's no ban, about 1/3 of the girls have already collab with them. For the second, it's like saying Towa can't make it on their own with out rely on their more famous branch while they're already success as streamers go. Also why are you go for a company that famous for their "Cute girls doing cute thing" and "Boys in their locker room" and demand it to be changed, that's just you try to virtual signal and fight a strawman that no one in the entire company are bothered with.

Sry for the bad Engriish.

Myth was ok but now the second wave has a irl pronoun schizo. And the worst part is that HoloEN is a normalfag gathering around hololive. I don't mind casual watchers but normalfags. Those are the ones who make the most amount of damage. See how they started cheering for Rushia and mafumafu's imaginary relationship. They also are the ones who say it's bad for the holomems to make loli/shota jokes and shit. They hurt people. They are bad people.

>>38829845
No way, HoloEN is so much fucking better than NijiEN girls it's not even funny. Like it's embarassing how low quality in the NijiEN girls are in pretty much every single aspect compared to Council, let alone fucking Myth.

>>38097087
So what is HoloEN 4th gen theme? So far there has been Myth, Hope and Shit.

>>37220231
I think November is gonna be jam-packed with events already. You have gen 3 concert at the end of the month and holoEN Myth outfit might be out next week.

HoloEN is a Myth
"From First"

>>34813179
It probably was. HoloEN is a myth didn't get noticed until we got slapped in the face with it.

>>34135129
Just a coincidence HoloEN is a myth

>>34134930
"HoloEN is a myth!"

>>34134902
Holy shit. I thought he'd been spamming it for longer, but he really hasn't been spamming it for long at all. This is just like holoEN myth.

>>34135024
Probably the same person as the 'HoloEN is a myth' poster.

HoloEn is a myth.

HoloEn is a MYTH. All the roommate speculation you see. All the smoke and mirrors of them using “cameras” to make the avatars move. It’s all just advanced AI trained to act more human than ever before.. all part of yagoos grand experiment. don’t believe the “roommate” lie. These “girls” aren’t REAL. I already said too much but if you’re reading this just know that technology is moving way too fast. It’s getting out of control and this must stop this bef

Kiara herself admitted to lurking before debut and even before the announcement. She probably drops by every now and then. Also,
