This morning multiple Twitch vtubers came out with their stories from James Wick of Studio Cell (formerly Tonari Animation who worked on Gura's Animated video) ripping them off, ghosting them, and then deleting his twitter.

Bao for 34k: https://twitter.com/baovtuber/status/1663243905431932929

Captain Hannah for 3k, refunded via paypal: https://twitter.com/hannahvtuber/status/1663251354767196183

Saruei for 23K: https://twitter.com/Saruei_/status/1663257696965885953?s=20

Vienna was scammed but doesn't name the amount: https://twitter.com/viennavtuber/status/1663253021415833614?s=20

Geega: https://twitter.com/baovtuber/status/1663243905431932929?s=20

All roads lead to guilt by association. Amazing how the troon guidebook is always followed to a T, when nothing else works. Why even bother taking down Gura anyway? She's doing a good job on doing that herself. Unless, you want the scalp, right? You want the trophy. You want the "we took down the pedo side of vtubing" narrative so you can deflect away from you trannies trying to have sex with real children. You people are the grasshoppers of society, and if there's any justice left in the word, you will all be exterminated like the bugs you are.

All of these big twitch indies are making more money than every single girl in HoloEN. Except maybe Gura, but that's only because a bunch of Japanese people buy her merch. All these bitches are doing sponsored streams more often than Gura does any streams at all, they pay thousands each one, some are 5-figures. There's a reason why smart people have been lamenting Cover being asleep at the wheel in regards to getting EN3 running, all the talent has already established themselves and are making bank, there's nobody left to join EN3 except some boring ass literal whos that nobody watches. For all the big names, joining Hololive would be a downgrade.
>but Marine!
nobody cares about foreign people in a different market, this is an EN discussion
Also streaming video games is react content. No more coping.

You don't just magically head straight to court, I doubt this is going to end up in court for over a year. It's probably turning into a class action lawsuit if anything since there's a clearly defined group who were harmed by him which would benefit by pooling resources for a legal team. Even if she lost $30k the legal fees might not be worth it depending on the likelihood that they'd be paid out as part as damages.

Setting aside the scamming which I'm sure will be resolved now, that's crazy that all these indie VTubers who /vt/ hates and try to present as failures make so much money off of VTubing that they can afford to spare $30,000 on animated music videos. VTubers clearly make a shit ton of money even considering that a lot of them reinvest it in their hobby (which makes me respect them more if anything, it shows they genuinely care about it and aren't just doing it to get rich). I feel like /#/ is just completely wrong about everything all the time and the amount of attention they receive is ridiculous considering how consistently they are proven wrong. It seems like even if you are always wrong, as long as you project an aura of confidence you will always have a lot of braindead followers.

KEK DYRBI. Let me summarize to you how much the runt of HoloEN is earning, Bae has 390k in SC (not including membership streams), she sold 220k USD worth of merch just from her 2023 birthday, again just from ONE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, she averages 4-5m views per month and has a total views of 72m, try converting that to adsense, and probably has 3-5k members. Now add in extras like voice packs, special occasions merch like Valentines/Halloween/Christmas etc, group merch, concert merch, and sponsorships... No indie can hope to see that amount of money. Hell, even Ironmouse didn't top any best sellers on any sites with her nendoroid like how Mori or Gura or any Myth usually do. At most, these big indies that you mentioned have a low to mid 6-digit networth for their entire career, take note, I said networth not yearly revenue. Every HoloEN easily doubles, triples, or even quadruples (Gura and Mori) their networth with just their yearly revenue.

Connections are needed to commission large scale animations and famous illustrators.

Usually, agencies do that.

A vtuber affiliated with a company can rest assured that the company will be the intermediary for the project.

In a sense, this is the advantage of belonging to an agency.

When you do a project as an individual, there is always this risk, and individual vtubers are easily fooled because they lack social skills.

i'll never forgot watching one of mine and /lig/s favorite chubas talk about how she had a pocket artist she was eyeing for work. and didnt wanna show chat the twitter handle... She then proceeds to find the artists most recent work was for Cover, Hachama actually. these women are dumb. you dont need the most expensive people on the planet, do proper research and find some low followed artist, who would love to have a couple grand to work on stuff.

Lets be brutally honest here: The main reason these girls wanted lore videos in the first place is probably because they saw Ironmouse and Vshojo have animated Lore videos and went "Why not me?"

I see all the time artists, animators, and whatever else just scamming and taking money from people, but why? Of all the things you could scam someone on, this is like the worst field. Like sure, you might get a decent payout, but the trail you left behind is immense and all of your talents in the field go to waste and you will never be able to monetize it again. Plus its not unlikely people will get their money back from you.

There's so many better ways to scam people with so much less accountability and with money you can actually retire off of, are they fucking retarded?

Yeah subs are a bad measure of income for streaming.

It's a twitch specific thing: basically the streamer will Marathon stream with a timer that goes up the more paid subscriptions they get and will stay live streaming until the timer runs out or they cap it.

It's one of the most popular ways for streamers to make fast money on twitch and usually it gives the viewers about a month's worth of content in return.
