>covers are not profitable
I always fucking hated this mentality. It's short-sighted for a long-term industry.
VTubers make money primarily from donations (especially recurring donations like memberships/twitch subs), with smaller percentages from ad revenue and sponsorships. You increase donations by increasing your audience. You increase your audience by either having diverse content to grab people of many different interests, or by being one of the most entertaining streamers in your niche. Having musical content, especially with the incredible talent that Tsunderia has/had, just makes sense in terms of building an audience for the individual VTubers AND for creating a company identity since every single member (with the notable exception of Orla) is endowed with a high level of musical ability. By refusing to lean into that because it's not immediately profitable, Tsunderia is hampering their own long-term growth because they don't want to spend around $500 per cover. If you think of each one as an investment, then even mild growth can quickly cover that cost, and the momentum if one takes off can be self-sustaining. The only way this mentality makes sense is if the company wasn't profitable to begin with, but if they have enough cash for staff, then there's really no excuse

It's good.

Imagine having so much talent, and going so unappreciated.
