lol

>>54750206
why the fuck would you want them to stream in irrelevant timeslots?

>>54750206
It's almost like the trying to target the times that people get home from work. Sure they could stream earlier but people watching at noon are poorfags without a job or money.

>>54750206
What time did you expect them to stream in? They're EN.

why the fuck is their first group collab at 1am on monday, people have work and school

didnt even know there was a new holo gen, checked out all the debuts, and as expected the rigging is low quality and lip sync is awful, why does Hololive have the worst rigging & mocap?

>>54750206
Only FWMC morning streams and Nobeta/DKC work for me so I guess I keep watching my regulars at this point. Kinda sucks that only the small corpos care about EU at this point.

>>54750206
Theyre trying to fill Myths dead hours

>>54752217
>biggest vtubers on twitch all stream eu hours
>irrelevant

>>54754139
Become a paypig and then maybe Hololive will make an EU group for you guys.

>>54750206
Yeah, in a perfect world every holomems streams fill all the timeslots and leaving no dead hours.
But, unfortunately we're not living in that utopia.

>>54750206
>Why arent they streaming in my chinese prime time :(
Cry about it you little bitch
EN branch, EN stream times

>the North Americans... stream in North American time zones?

>>54754762
>biggest on twitch all stream eu hours
That explains so much about why twitch communities are trash, actually.

>>54750206
>watching EN gen 1 and 2
I don't see the problem, if anything maybe this will get the old ones to actually try for once

>>54755318
>EN stream times
What did anon mean by this?

>>54750206
Survival of the fittest, the others will have to stream or face the possibility of losing their viewers to the new members.

>>54755148
Just give thousands to a company that tries their hardest to not let you enjoy their content that sounds like a great idea

>>54752337
The problem here is that America is not the entire English speaking world, and America also has a finite number of people. Putting everyone in the same time slot is vying for the attention of the same people between themselves, instead of having different time slots to gain audiences of people that don't fit the same time slot.

They have the "only allowed to stream for 1h debuff" like tempiss had.
its over

>>54750206
it's because they need their japanese manager to watch their streams, and they're asleep during EU hours. this has pretty much been confirmed by talents. kiara is an exception because she has her own manager.

>>54752217
My oshi already streams in that time slot, so I can't watch the new ones because I'm already dedicated to her.

>>54752337
>only mutts watch vtubers
>people that work at the night don't exist
JPs live in only one small country and they have more times slot variety than EN that lives in several places

>>54750206
>get to watch my ID chuubas stream in English in the morning hours
>get to watch my EN chuubas stream in English in the evening hours

Sounds like a win-win to me, anon.

>>54756111
America has the third highest population in the entire world, and highest english speaking population in the world, as well as the highest disposable income per capita in the entire world.

>>54754762
>twitch

>>54758879
>acts smug about missing the point
never change

I don't think these will be their permanent stream times. they're all streaming one hour apart so as to not overlap with each other, at least in the first hour. They'll probably change it up when they get more established.

>>54758485
And all of it is already going to EN and Council

>>54754762
>Twitch
>irrelevant
Yes
I meant, taking how inflated Twitch numbers are compared to YT, "biggest VTubers on Twitch" doesn't mean much

>>54754762
so that's why /lig/ and /wvt/ are so shit

I just accept that europe won't have good times for english stuff and watch the vods.

>>54755636
From OP's pic:
>Bijou: NA afternoon
>Nerissa: NA primetime
>Moco: EU afternoon & night; Slightly late night NA
>Shiori: late night NA
Looks like EN timeslots to me. Doggos even give EUfags some crumbs

OP is confused, members in each gen should coordinate to avoid overlap, members in different gens have no responsibility to avoid each other. Ideally, each gen should cover all the prime time hours anyway. At least that's how it works in JP. In EN it's stretched because of multiple US time zones and EU time zone, but the same rule makes sense.

>>54756450
>it's because they need their japanese manager to watch their streams, and they're asleep during EU hours
The funniest thing about this is that EUfags don't want to stay up until 6AM but they expect Japanese salary people to do that.

>>54752337
I watch in the middle of the day while I'm working.

>>54760333
Kinda fucked up that in 2023 you don't have an option for a manager from outside Japan since you can do everything remotely anyway. Oh well, can't expect too much from a country that still uses fax machines in day-to-day operations.

At least I'll have a shit ton of content to watch on my breaks at work

>>54759799
true, having 70-80k subs at $5 a pop means nothing. you're so right, oomfie

>>54760333
I don't get paid to stay awake, they do. They could also do the sensible thing and hire someone in Europe, but Japanese have ingrained retardation so that will never happen.

>>54760647
Having managers living in JP make it easier for communication between managers and dealing with legal matters if necessary
It's similar to how a lot of IT firms fully support WFH now, but most of them still prefer people living in the same country / region

>>54760215
What the actual fuck are you talking about, that's not how it has or will ever work in any Holo generation anon.
After their initial management mandated timeslots they are pretty free to stream whenever they like and overlap with whoever they please. There's no actual rules in place for that, though most girls obviously avoid streaming over big events since it could easily be considered rude by the viewers and would negatively impact her own numbers anyways.

>>54760333
>>54756450
These Japanese managers that """need to watch their streams""" aren't there watching the vast majority of the time the JPs stream either. Most of them stream at absolutely ungodly hours literally all the time, far outside of work hours.

>>54760215
But they aren't, like another anon already said, there's way more variation in JP holomems' stream times than there is across all of EN despite EN covering a much wider audience. It'd be like having every JP gen streaming independently from 6-10PM instead of at any other time. It makes no sense, they're all competing for the same time slot and potential audience.

>>54760850
>Subathon
Yeah, it doesn't mean much. Come back when your top Twitch VTubers can maintain 70-80k subs monthly
If we are to care about special event, might as well look at how Gura got $1.7M+ worth of merch from just one merch wave

>>54761339
>If we are to care about special event, might as well look at how Gura got $1.7M+ worth of merch from just one merch wave
nobody is arguing against the fact that gura is the most successful vtuber though, but sure you can throw that out into the void if you want i guess?

>>54760862
>They could also do the sensible thing and hire someone in Europe
That's retarded, but a west coast manager would make a lot of sense.
>shifted back 3 hours from EST, so their standard work day can include SOD in Japan.
If that west coast manager could provide 3D services and technical support, that would be really creative and versatile.

>>54761233
Well we really have no idea when the EN3s plan on streaming yet.
These first few weeks are just going to be the same mandated timeslots in one big block as usual, it won't be until after 2-4 weeks that they are allowed to branch out from them and stream longer than an hour at a time.

>>54754762
Yeah, and get this. Twitch and the community is fucking garbage. Really makes you think...

>>54761233
Most HoloJP members stream mainly from 6:00PM to 0:00AM, though?
I meant, sure, there are those who dip into morning timeslot (Koyori, Mio, Lamy, Subaru in the weekend), but those are exceptions rather than the norm.

>>54761083
I get that proximity to the office is an advantage even in WFH, but for a supposedly global entertainment brand I would argue that being constrained to a single country's office hours is a significant downside.

>>54761504
>moving the goalposts
i accept your concession

>>54761225
>Most of them stream at absolutely ungodly hours literally all the time
Like Kiara, who only streamed in EU hours half a year in, the JPs you're thinking of are tenured, not freshly debuted. A common trope for building an audience is "Stream at the same timeslot everyday! Do not vary your timeslot!".
I can't say if that actually helps or not, but any of the EN3 members hitting EU hours regularly would either require them to stream without management oversight in the beginning or to vary their slot after they already got viewers.
And EUfags would still lose out in the beginning.

>>54750206
Ok, please tell me the real purpose you made this thread and feed me the bait that is your reasoning for ENs to stream for JP timeslots

>>54750206
Japs wake up at 3am, get to work at 6am, and then work until 1am the next day. so a perfect timeslot for their commute!

>>54764267
>The country who forged the modern pop culture as we know today
Eh...yes

why you gotta call me out like that...

>>54750206
No need to worry, they will be the only one streaming


and maybe Kiara.

>>54765259
The modern pop culture that's so bad everyone is turning to Japanese media to get away from it?

>>54765120
I just want them to stream in any timeslot that doesn't overlap with my oshi

HoloJP streams when I'm at work
HoloEN streams when I have to sleep

I was hired 2 years ago and since then I haven't bothered watching streams
Waiting 2 years for being insulted again as an european, now I hate EN even more

>>54750206
the old gens will be forced to move their stream times to other timeslots

>>54750206
Mogging your oshi

>>54768049
or be like me working in server room and the only pass time is watching vtubers.

>Here's an engineer
>He goes to work at 8 am like the rest of his peers
>What the fuck was management thinking?

>>54750206
wdym? they don't stream at that hour... they rarely stream these days, why are you complaining retard, just watch what you enjoy and whatever it's on if it's on.

>>54752100
Kiara does, but she's stuck doing it at EU times.

>>54768780
More like
>Here's a new engineer
>We can make him do repairs anywhere in the building to fix holes in the roof
>Let's put him in the same room as the other engineers
>The room that's already fully repaired

>>54750206
they are retarded

>>54750206
Trying to fill in those days where there’s little to nothing at those times despite most of the branch making it their timeslot. Remember in December when nearly the entire branch was out of commission?

>>54774215
It will still be out of commission, unless they hire someone from a country that doesn't celebrate neither Christmas nor the new year.

>>54750206
It's so dumb when Shiori streamed at Euro friendly times before too. Big mistake here.

>>54750206
i dont know how to tell you this but EN fags dont watch streams, they watch clips

>>54750206
It's what their stats are telling them
>everyone streams in LA time
>so they get good numbers in LA time
>management said they get the best numbers in LA time so they make new hires also stream in LA time.

I feel bad or Euros but what are you going to do. JST is the main timezone for hololive.
