/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

So I've been browsing Nip twitter and the comments section of that one Japanese Gura clipper who discussed the recent cancellation of >pic related and the dominant theory for the JoPs seems to be that Cover's standards for hiring a Holo is high so no one was hired. Now, I personally think that's just a load of BS since there are a lot of reason why something like this would get cancelled but even checking the western and other overseas fanbases, they seem to share the same sentiment too. Also, surprisingly, the backlash for cancellation has been practically non-existent with many celebrating the fact that Cover "will not compromise on the quality of their VTubers". Other comments that also get parroted are
>This only proves that only the cream of the crop can become holos
>Of course, they'd be picky. It's not easy to become a holo.
>Look at how talented Council and Irys are. No wonder they got in.
I'm paraphrasing of course, but the idea of Cover having "harvard-level" standards is becoming engrained in the fanbase. So why am I bringing this up? If you'd allow me to engage in a bit of number fortune-telling, that sentiment may positively affect Gen 6's debut numbers. Enough so that they'd beat Botan's current record of 105k(?) even with Susan fuckery. Just think about it for a second. Gen 6 would be working with the following buffs
>First JP Gen to debut in roughly a year and a half (possibly even longer)
>First JP Gen to debut after the Hololive Boom
I can practically gurantee that at least 2 of them (the first debut and the one with the most interesting design, assuming they're not the same Holo) will be at 100k, something that no debut after Gen 5 has been able to accomplish.
I also can't help but wonder how they'd deal with this level of pressure though? Afterall, if everyone thinks that you need to be super special to become a member of Hololive to the point that Cover would rather cancel their auditions then settle for the best of whoever showed up, that has to way down on the talent's mind.

DIDN'T MAKE IT...
