/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

She went to Olive Garden with Gura, who force-fed her unlimited breadsticks until Ame went into a celiactric coma.

>>70027667
Maternity leave. Don't tell anyone.

>>70027667
it's ame doing ame things
probably a burn out, or being lazy
im a die-hard gator, but yeah it sucks for us

she's on a semi hiatus until after FES

>>70027667
She is a detective bro. Time travel stuff. No time for streams

>>70028715
Uh-oh, sounds like she got the jab.
She's done for...

>>70028715
What a disgusting post. "I am always wishing we can do more together." Guess what, it's in your power.

>>70028715
how long ago was this? she's been so out of it for months now

>>70029498
>>70029745
>>70029798
Retard

>>70027667
it's the ame way, that's the reason I dropped membership

she's stealth suspended cause she posted an MV without Kiara's (management's) approval

>>70028187
based loyalist
i hope she's doing well and comes back soon anon
looking forward to more NV

>>70029798
2 months ago.
And she has posted further updates after this.

>>70027667
she improved herself and is processing her graduation

>>70027842
Hot.

>>70030648
>If I lie on the internet nobody can stop me

>>70029868
Not an argument.

>>70029967
yeah it sucks, and yeah it's frustrating.
but she usually gives us quality streams when she has her inspiration spurs (two weeks of streams and radio silence for a few weeks after)
her last karoke was great. the valentine's day stream was funny.
all you can hope is for her to come back and stream before making the remaining gator loyalists go insane

>>70028715
Hopefully it's carbon monoxide poisoning or a brain tumor

>>70031497
ow the edge

She's busy with corporate espionage at the moment. She managed to infiltrate the Eliracord, and she's the anon behind the LK posts.

>>70028715
>>70029745
There is definitely something going on with management and there has been a suspicious amount of malicious compliance in HoloEN since 2022. They were less angry in 2023 but they weren't optimistic for 2024 until after that December meeting. I expect some type of huge announcement in April or May that will explain why half the EN talents have been disappearing for months.

>>70027667
February. She's recording for 5th Fes. Just like Feb last year, when she had ho record for 4th Fes.

>>70031769
Anon they are disappearing because of burnout.
Council/Promise in particular has been going for two years before Advent showed up. The new girls finally getting here was their cue to finally relax.

>>70031384
she makes everything ok when she comes back because she always delivers quality when she returns
i prefer less streams to her forcing herself when she's not up to it

>>70029498
>>>/pol/

>>70029745
she's been streaming on and off during her break, like she said she would in the post

>>70027667
She's busy sitting on my face. Oxygen is running low

>>70028715
forgot this part

>>70031769
Management is letting them get away with not working. So they stopped working. It's that simple.

>>70027667
she's preparing holoEU

>>70027667
tummy hort

have to commend her for still going despite how much she hates her fans

>>70035807
She only hates you, you are not a fan.

>>70027667
Gawr and Ame are too busy kissing each other and joining neo nazi conventions to bother with streaming anymore.

>>70031978
How come some of the JP girls have been at it for like 5+ years straight and only a couple of them burn out, meanwhile 70% of the EN roster is on permanent semi-hiatus?

>>70036346
built different

>>70036346
It's actually 70%, only Calli, Kiara, and Bae are consistent in the first 2 gens. Ame, Gura, Ina, Mumei, Fauna, Kronii, and Irys all fall off the face of the earth for weeks at a time and only stream like 1-3 times most weeks when they are around.

>>70036346
>some
Because some can handle it.
And we have Kiara, Mori and Bae consistently streaming.

>>70036346
JP: Love for the passion
EN: Love for the paper

>>70032145
>became the de-facto matriarch of her family. that's fucking rough. no wonder she's had medical issues, probably fucking stress.

>>70037022
Interesting how these are the worst girls of their gen

>>70037022
I'm saying some have been doing it for 5+ years now, but overall there's like zero burnout from any JP gen, except who, shion/ayame? 2 out of like 50? But EN is 7/10?

>>70032145
It's kinda funny to think some VTubers are practically the "head" of their respective families now. And going forward they will be the good old rich grandma or auntie that did some gig and doesn't talk about it anymore.

>>70036346
The ones who can't handle the pressure filter themselves by giving up or get filtered by the industry. After that point you either have:

>People with undying passion for their craft (Suisei, Bae?, FuwaMoco)
>People who are workaholics (Calli, Kiara, several of the JPs including Korone and Fubuki)
>...Or menheras who are long past the point of feeling burnout and don't even feel it anymore and will keep going until they crash (Rushia, Vesper, I guess Choco too?)

Most other people just can't keep up and dip.

she learned from gura not to take her job too seriously and jusr show up to collect money

>>70037471
I don't follow all 50+ talents but even I know there are those that stream less, like Choco.

>>70036346
A lot of people will shitpost in response to this but I think it's worth an honest response. There are a bunch of reasons why: Japanese are encouraged to put their head down and grind regardless of their mental state which inherently means they'll put up with more than the western girls will. It's also objectively easier to work for Cover as a japanese talent. The EN girls have to deal with the bureaucracy of a country they're not from, management who largely speak a completely different language, and months every year where they have to pack up and go live in a hotel in a country they don't speak the language of while grinding dance choreography. Even when they're not in Japan, all their meetings are on Japan time since management wants them to bow down, so they constantly have to be up at 2-5 am to attend meetings that could just be emails, fucking their sleep schedules. It's extremely stressful to be a foreign Cover talent which is why they most consistent ones either live in Japan full time (Mori, formerly Kiara) or are close enough it's not as bad (Bae)

>>70037471
JPs' workplace is within the same area if not the same city, it completely aligns with their daytime and everyone speaks their language.
Now compare it to any non-fluent EN. You need to attend meetings online at ungodly hours, travel half the world for in-person meetings and when they're there, they are going to be in near complete social isolation outside of work. This sort of environment isn't healthy, no matter how much money it makes them.

>>70038547
There's also the fact that jp talents are closer physically. It's much easier to organize collabs when everyone's living in the same timezone and it only takes an hour or two for talents to meet up for off Collab. Even a ride from Hiroshima to cover Tokyo office only takes 4 hours and shinkansen is a million times less tiresome than airplane or driving.

>>70036346
Unironically because imperial harems selected for loyalty and humility, both heritable traits.

The answer is quite simple: why work hard if you get paid ten# of thousands just to exist? It’s a pretty simple answer that all EN members have been realizing.

>>70031978
Gura wouldn't do any membership content for over 5 months and I am skeptical it makes sense for them to relax after the release of Advent. Myth was also having a curious issue with membership badges which kept having numerous delays and Gura still hasn't released her 3rd year badge.

>>70031769
They got burnt out
Don't blame management

>>70040873
>Gura still hasn't released her 3rd year badge.
She just decided on the design in the last couple weeks when people are already like 4 months into their 4th year.

>>70036346
Lots of JPs are the same way you idiot

>>70037277
best*

>>70041252
Which ones leave for like 2-4 weeks at a time multiple times per year?

>>70032145
It's weird that Aunty Watson would allow her to take on that burden. I know her mom has been around more some maybe the aunt took a step back and doesn't really know what's going on?

>>70041668
aqua, shiion, ayame off the top of my head
go actually look at their channels instead of just assuming Japan embodies everything good about vtubing, HoloEN sits just above the middle in terms of average hours streamed

>>70031769
>suspicious amount of malicious compliance
That's quite the statement, you got good examples or are you trying to use vibes?

>>70041808
Yeah, you picked the only 3 that do it that anyone can ever bring up as an example, 2 of which I already mentioned as abnormal for JP.

>>69991967

>>70041998
>HoloEN sits just above the middle in terms of average hours streamed

>>70038547
First correct answer I've seen to that question in my 3 years on this board.

This doesn't just apply to vtubing either, working remote as a foreigner to any company is really fucking hard. I have koreans who work remote at my california based company, and are constantly getting fucked since their deadlines have to lineup with ours in the PST timezone. They also have to deal with a much longer and bullshit management pipeline when having concerns or requests.

>>70037471
>I'm saying some have been doing it for 5+ years now, but overall there's like zero burnout from any JP gen
uuuhhh, depends what you consider "burnout" I suppose

Gen 0
>Suisei is basically checked out from streaming, she does a little but last year she had Gura level hours and it's not getting any higher this year

Gen 1
>Chama literally just came back from a year long hiatus caused by mental stress
>Mel was depressed and stressed enough to breach NDA multiple times and get fired
>Matuli is basically checked out outside of collabs

Gen 2
>Shion is officially checked out with like a Cover announcement and all
>Choco basically only does collab content + ASMR, everything else comes with huge gaps unless it's a new autism trap like Palworld
>Ayame streams 2 times a month
>Aqua is on a semi-break rn

Gen 3
>trudging on, though Marine is on an on-off schedule constantly due to mounting health issues

Gen 4
>Kanata had a long health break,
>Towa is on a semi-break

Gen 5
>Nene is basically checked out while going menhera over low numbers
>Lamy just returned from a long health break


Gen 6
>La+ quit streaming on Youtube after multiple menhera moments

Gen 7
>Raden had a health break within couple first weeks


but it's less notable with HoloJP because, for one
>there's more of them
and for second
>most people don't speak Japanese and don't give a fuck

>>70042220
I'm east coast and do consultant work for a company on the west cost. It's fucking awful. I can't imagine how shit it must be for the US Holo girls to be in JST meetings.

>>70041998
I picked the ones I remember, if you actually go look at some channels and some stats you'd find more

>>70042340
Gen 2 really was a mistake besides Subaru and Aqua, and even then Aqua's gone out of commission

>>70043107
The amount of porn made out of gen 2 disagrees.

>>70043107
Aqua hasn't been a regular streamer for many years

>>70031769
2022 & 2023 were obviously bad times. Omega era, i recall Kronii & Bae both said out loud that 2022 & into 2023 were really demoralizing (Bae smth about "fake smiles" & Kronii absolutely venting on a Powerwas Sim stream about mishandled projects). But Bae has been going really strong recently & Kronii sounds generally happy to be streaming, so the post-Omega era of HoloEN seems to be much better.

That being said, perhaps Myth just dealt with mismanagement for longer & are simply taking more time to recover their mental? /vt/ has the attention span of a mayfly so y'all tend to start crying if someone ghosts for less than a week but normal people can take months or even years to recover from seriously bad trauma.

>>70043232
>simply taking more time to recover their mental
they're burnt out
gura has been gone and ame has been basically gone for over a year

>>70042340
You forgot about AZKi who streams as much as Ayame (and that's still twice as much as Gura) and Botan who streams as much as Aqua.

>>70042340
Suisei and Marine are at least easier to endure, as they have (or had) weekly/biweekly radio shows, release music, shorts, etc, and tweet often.
But yeah saying "zero burnout from any JP gen" is complete bullshit.

>>70027667
taking a break and spending time with her husband

>>70028715
>get some things done with the company (takes foreverrrr)
RRAT
Cover more like kurover amirite sisters? It's over for yagoo.

>>70038547
The other thing is that with 9 gens of JP livers, its very easy for a JP liver to take a break for a week or two without anyone noticing because there are just so many other ones to watch. So what of Okayu takes a week break when I can still watch the rest of Gamers? Or if Lui takes a break when all of HoloX is streaming everyday? Also, its crazy that there are 9 generations in Holo JP, I completely forgot about some of them

>>70041998
see >>70042340

>>70043107
startend kinda saved aqua, she would be completely MIA if not for them.

>>70027667
She's unmotivated, not even joining corpo events unless something she liked is involved.
In her head, it feels like she already did all the things she wanted.

I really can't blame here since what else is there to do, she's not like the other girls who crave self improvement and new things in life.

>>70044010
>her husband
Yeah me

>>70028715
>>70032145
So for the most part, she's unmotivated to do things outside of events/collabs.
Feels like she's in her midlife crisis and thinking of things like her future.

From the looks tho, unless she has new plans, she's not leaving hololive anytime soon since its one of the best "passive" income she has for now.

>>70027667
Cover are pretty smart to let burnt out talents clock in whenever after the first year. It's more beneficial for both parties involved to retain a semi active liver than graduate them

>>70046498
What the fuck are you saying? If she doesn't crave self-improvement then why did she tell me to improve myself? You're lying, anon.

I'd be burned out too if the only things I could do were endless Minecraft streams or other baby games and shitty karaokes like everyone in Hololive.

>>70027667
I think she's in Japan atm.

>>70044010
Yeah,me

>>70027667
Currently fistfighting management shirtless on top of a skyscraper to get Amebee back

>>70036346
Myth debuts, is the only group in the EN branch, streams like crazy to try to make it a success because this huge audience is all on their backs with no one else who can take up the slack. Council debuts, Myth is burnt out, dials back streams once Council proves they aren't gonna implode instantly. Council is now effectively the only EN group streaming, loses a member, streams like crazy to etc etc. Advent debuts, Council is burnt out, etc etc.

Basically, Myth overworked themselves and the failure to pace themselves is just cascading to this day. It doesn't help that Gura doesn't handle fame well, Ame has pretty openly alluded to Hololive not really being what she wanted to do with her life, Sana back hort, and Kronii REALLY hated getting stuck with the big titty model.

>>70027667
It's hard being an Ame Irys chad but I won't stop being a fan

>>70028715
This kind of thing is why I have immense respect for Ame.

>>70049402
>streams like crazy
i dont remember council ever streaming like crazy before or after sana

>>70049402
> Ame has pretty openly alluded to Hololive not really being what she wanted to do with her life
No she didn’t

>>70045302
>livers
holomems
or just chuubas
livers is a stupid fucking name

>>70050252
It has been a while since I was a teamate, but I remember her talking about wanting to work or her family member working at the backstage of a theater or something and saying she'd be more suited for backstage work. That probably why she's currently so consumed by behind the scenes stuff at hololive. Streaming isn't really her favorite thing

>>70042340
>>70042340
Sucks to see that aqua's been so distant lately.
She was arguably the most popular and most consistently streaming JP during the Apex boom in japan.

>>70049402
>Myth debuts, is the only group in the EN branch, streams like crazy
never happened and until i see hard evidence on the contrary i will continue to shit on people like you. gura didnt last a fucking year and she was a flaky streamer during that year too
>>70036346
It helps that the vast majority of JP hires are actual veterans that grinded NND or other shit so they knew what they signed up for. Most of EN didnt know what the streamer life entailed

>>70052636
>He thinks the JPs who had PLs on NND were consistent streamers
Hey nigger, your newfag is showing. Pekora was the only one who had something resembling consistent streams back in the NND days, and they were once a week at the very most.

>>70036346
Look at how many ENs never had actual jobs before this, that just shows you how they had no idea what work is.

>>70052960
Speaking of jobs I know for a fact that professional singers i.e. performing 6 days out of 7 days a week didnt get into HoloEN
Gotta have failed the vibe check pretty hard, well and IRL singers tend to be a bit too diva, headstrong and loose lipped. or they select for the sit at home in front of the computer neets because they are actually relatable

>>70037022
>Kiara, Mori and Bae

>>70042340
I haven't watched HoloJp in a hot minute, Nene is doing poorly? I always imagined she'd be the one best capable to go straight through problems. I hope she's doing well soon.

>>70055061
Nene has always been menhera prime, as in unironic suicide watch by other holos menhera so it doesnt help that her manager goes you suck you wont be an idol or get a sololive, how about you play valorant instead

>>70055985
Damn, I’ll go watch Nene if I have time and call her a beautiful idol in chat

>>70042340
>Nene going menhera over low numbers
There's nothing more pathetic than a Holo caring about "low" numbers. Bitch you're doing better than 99.99% of all vtubers and been set for life ever since you joined, you don't get to complain.

>>70049402
>>70052256
This is your brain on catalogshittery. Holy fuck, Ame has been streaming for 10 years on the internet and just recently has talked about how streaming has changed her life for the better on her rm account.
