>>72290668
Trust, but Verify.
You should never take any news source by itself at face value. Even ones with integrity are prone to screwing things up, getting bad information, or just wording things poorly.
You should always research any stories that you're interested in, and check the sources (which are usually posted in the prior /news/ thread). /news/ is just an aggregator that puts a summary out so that people can have a rough idea of what's going on, without the fog of drama and misdirection that tends to come with the catalog.

This is literally in the OP, anon.

>>72293612
That works both ways, the flood of drama trolls also feeds information to investors lurking there, which contributes to the decline of Niji stock.
Anykuro is cooked and their attempts to force the stock are failing.

is this a news thread or a miniature catalog btw?

This newspaper is really weird, I keep reading it for a few pages, but every time I reach around page 4 or 5 the counter resets to 1. Look, it just did it again. I don't know what's going on

>>72294495
Its mainly for asserting dominance. A message to the vtubing industry.

>March almost over
>no niji graduation
But what about the queue? You told me it was real!!!

>>72294978
The narrative will be that Dmitri is saving these poor exploited girls from brack company and placing them in EN4 where they belong

So, THAT just happened

>>72294920
Asserting dominance is done by making everyone involved filthy fucking rich and dominating in every single metric. Not by throwing money at a steaming pile of shit and setting it one fire. That's just stupid.

>>72294896
I was hoping that this place would be able to keep anons updated on the latest happenings in the vtubersphere. No more fearing of missing out on deleted threads in the catalog. But apparently some news like:
>runie got doxxed
>LM showed serafi contract and term of contract is different from vnu announcement
are no go.

>>72294896
/news/ exist so (You) don't have to waste your time scrolling the [Catalog]

>>72295462
>runie got doxxed
Giving doxfags attention is literally the worst thing we could do
>LM showed serafi contract and term of contract is different from vnu announcement
Let me fix that for you
>serafi contract and term of contract is different from vnu announcement
Much better.

>>72290413
That's like based though

>>72295602
Why are you giving them attention.
Report and ignore. They're just trying to drag down the thread with the spam.

>>72295228
Put this on the [Catalog]

>>72295462
oh I was talking about the obvious bait post but I now see some are getting deleted so never mind
>doxx
understandable
>contracts
why would that be a no go?

>>72295665
Report what? This thread is off-topic itself

>>72295790
Explain how

>>72295687
contracts are fine, mentioning dramatubers such as LM (although he is one of the better ones) is not.

This is news, not the tabloids.

yes

>This board is for the discussion of Virtual YouTubers ("VTubers"), including those streaming in Japanese, English, and other languages. VTubers don't necessarily need to be on Youtube of course, they can be on Twitch, Niconico, Bilibili, or any other platform.
Meanwhile these posts and the contents they encourage are completely off-topic and only loosely tied together with on-topic rules; and basically make this thread a gossip board. Yet the OP and his cronies make it an official part of the thread

Those anchors are for news from that category to be reported on.

The actually content itself shouldn't be discussed in this thread, just reported on.

Nijisanji truly is the punching bag of the industry

With a few brushokes have adjusted an old classic and turned it into OC to commemorate this new thread!!!

Let me know your thoughts!! ^_^

>>72296275
>loosely tied together with on-topic rules
Oh, so they're on-topic? And they are additionally summarising info from long-time pre-existing generals of this board too? Sounds fairly on-topic to me, anon, and, evidently, to the mods that have allowed this general to be posted for however long now.
If you're mad about something covered in the thread, you should come out and say it, instead of the roundabout way.

>>72296601
>The actually content itself shouldn't be discussed in this thread, just reported on.
And how do you plan to enforce that? Furthermore when discussion of gossip does happen in the thread will you go around telling everyone to not do that? Or will you let it slide depending on the subject? Who are you even?

>>72296879
Desu not even mad and I'm not sure why would you try to steer it that way. We're having a conversation anon. Does THAT upset you? Why are you so mad about that? See I just did your thing right now.

We're building something here anon and everything has to be clear from the get-go.

>>72297033
>We're building something here anon
this. the way i see this thread it's similar to /vtwbg/ etc, you need to play a long with the kayfabe. this is not the place to discuss this is a place to pretend to be a news reporter

>>72296776
Perfect!

>>72296892
>Furthermore when discussion of gossip does happen in the thread
First direct to the correct area, either a (Cross-thread) or the [Catalog]. After that ignore and report.
>Who are you even?
Doesn't matter.

Stop vague posting and tell us what you think about this thread anon. You won't get in trouble for voicing an opinion.

>>72297134
I for one does not want to larp as a news reporter. I bring things here I see as news and for discussion. like:
Newsflash: there are now four (4) phase threads. Is that even acceptable?
>>72281231
>>72281975
>>72269642
>>72291968

>>72297330
Ah my mistake, you want to larp as moderator.

>>72297330
I hate phase but I don’t see a problem with that, other companies have multiple threads for talents/groups no?

>>72297330
Why does that piss you off?

>>72297033
You started the conversation by asserting that the thread was off-topic, provided inaccurate and, dare I say, bad faith arguments on why you think that is the case, and tried to minimise "OP and his cronies" and their efforts. To me, that indicates you're upset at something. Also
>desu
I'm hoping that was on purpose and you're not an actual utter newfag.
Just to clarify, I don't visit this general much, I browse the catalog myself and get the news I'm interested in that way, I've just not visited the board for a few days and thought I'd try this thread to catch up. It's just that I was there when the first /vtwbg/ threads were created and there were plenty of shit stirrers, and your posts draw some parallels to them so I thought I'd confront your issues now.

>>72297869
that thing is a sister, it's barely a human, there is no conversation there because she will never reply in good faith, you are wasting your time or maybe it's just someone trolling, it's the same thing

C’mon, of course you’re going to get schizos and the like, you’re on 4chan. And you’re on /vt/. Why whine over growing pains or bait you can ignore? Just keep going and it’s fine if other anons have issues. People should be allowed to pitch in if they think something is a bit off or they don’t like it. Don’t make this some secret boys club or forum

>>72298021
>Stop enjoying things I don't enjoy waaah

>>72298468
Yea, exclusive clubs are what led to the cancer of vtubing, if you catch my drift.

>>72298190
agreed. i wish there were imageboards that were active and not cancerous, but i may as well be asking for a utopia

>>72298190
i told you all in the first thread that there was 0 chance this place wouldnt turn into a shithole, being it a technical spin off of both numbers and the catalog itself.

The original ideal however will endure pretty much anything that happens inside this thread: post news, then post them in the op.
If the thread becomes to fast due to rratamancy, as it was expected, news are to be updated once per day only at 6pm CST

Thats pretty much it.

I've been around too long to think it would've gone any other way. But we keep going regardless.

>V&U announces the termination of Amano Serafi's contract. They intend to refund all Superchats, Super Stickers, memberships, and merch purchases for her channel since December 2023, and will private all content on her channels on 4/18. They also intend to pursue legal action against Serafi, citing damages. It should be noted that, according to V&U, Serafi requested to buy out of her contract on 2/2, and was provided a summary of expenses that she would be accountable for. According to V&U, Serafi then requested that all further communication would need to be made via legal action.
Some updates on this conflict... In addition to the omitted $450K charge for contract termination invoiced from V&U to Serafi.

Taking a page from Nijisanji's playbook, V&U put out an initial termination notice, then seeing the bad reaction to it, doubled down with a second announcement with more of the same.

Serafi's signed CONTRACT was recently LEAKED, revealing:
- The briefly worded contract's duration was actually 1 year, not 3. It had already expired when she asked to quit.
- The contract was actually signed on September of 2022, not on January of 2023 as V&U claims.
- She was initially paid $500/month for four months with a bonus total of $2500 on the fourth month. (So less than minimum wage.)
- The only penalty described in the contract is five times that. (Still unenforceable, but nowhere near $450K.)
- The itemized invoice claims that several heads of departments had spent 50% of their time on her, despite there being 19 other talents, while demanding she pay that portion of their salaries, and included a $20,000 itemized charge labeled only "etc", among other "oddities".
- They confirmed the existence of this invoice in their second termination announcement.
- Despite cries of "imitating Doki", Serafi was trying to leave the company on February 2nd, before Doki's termination notice was posted.

On the other hand:
- The confidentiality agreement, though unenforceable, is three years.
- Serafi has swapped managers multiple times.
- Serafi, like Pochi, leaves several donothon goals unfulfilled.
- The rrats have it that Serafi caused some drama among her sisters.

That all said, I personally don't think it matters if she attempted to murder one of her sisters, nothing justifies an extortative half-million dollar contract termination fee, and threatening to sue to keep the other talents living in fear.

Amano Sefari is now @alien_mixture on Twitch.

>>72299167
>if she attempted to murder one of her sisters
wait what? like literally, or sabotaging her genmates?

The Yahoo finance board for Anycolor's stock is definitely been co-opted by Vtuber fans, particularly Hololive. For some god forsaken reason they were discussing Coco's graduation and the issue with moderators that she had during the Chinese bot raids.
It's feels like a typical futaba board now, with people discussing whatever Vtuber related things come to mind.

>>72299565
Yeah I noticed that recently, the vote counts are wildly inflated. I didn't notice it last week, so I guess the stock drop drew them in.
I just hope the investors take it as a sign that they're retards wasting their money and they all dip.

Yet another retarded company who doesn't understand the difference between "transparency" and mudslinging. All they had to do was say they were terminating her for incompatibility with corporate culture and leave it at that, but no they just had to keep digging

>>72299424
Nta. It's clearly an hyperbole. He's saying that even if she had tried to kill someone the 450k would be bullshit.

>>72288531
The vtuber PurityValentine went live today with Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind.
Purity was equipped with a metal sword, and robed in Dark Brotherhood gear. Purity mentioned "I can't sell anything I have illegal goods" as she reviewed her inventory in game.
Purity plays Morrowind as a level one wood elf cat(?) custom class.
Even when confronted with the option of silt strider Purity prefers to travel by foot, and while on foot she sticks to the roads without straying.
While travelling the roads of morrowind Purity was attacked by an alit. Purity flaled wildly at the alit, but managed to slay the alit. Not long after before her stamina was fully recovered Purity was attacked by another alit. The second alit nearly killed Purity, but she managed to scrape by with a sliver of HP.
Soon after Purity ate most of the stock in her player inventory, and then rested until healed.
That was all this reporter had time to watch, but I hope you enjoyed this post in vtuber /news/.

>>72299652
I mentioned it a few times in the previous threads, prior to the 12th of Feb that place might get 20 comments a week, now they are getting that much a hour. The up votes also makes it difficult for nijiniggers to drown out the discussion by flooding they place like they usually do with twitter whenever something happens, so it makes a good home for people who don't like dealing with nijinigger psyops

It's still up but she hasn't streamed there since the whole thing started
Also for a twitcher unless you're already big if you don't have a twitter presence you're basically dead because twitch will not promote you well enough, and none of her other links on her twitch go to anywhere good

I'm confused, just reading the last couple of dozen posts this is just another tribalfagging numbers discussion thread? You already have a thread. One thing this board doesn't need is more superfluous spam of the same garbage.

/lig/'s beat reporter here, I got nothin right now since most of the indies are preparing for weebcon. Uwumarket (a vtuber merch company) is going to have a massive show there called uwuland, MSM talent's vtubers are doing meet and greets and 3am's going to have a coffee truck with multiple members being attendees, which means most of /lig/'s vtubers they post about regularly outside of the euros will be at the event in some fashion or another, so there's not a lot of news or events being dropped around it.

>>72304731
Well, that's still news on its own
>>72288531

>>72304954
well if we are gonna anchor it, the con, located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas, specifically runs from Thursday the 28th until Sunday the 31st. Here's some tweets about the various events I mentioned:
>Uwuland's concert, featuring Bao, Numi, Sinder, and Yfu, and the uwumarket twitter which has several messages about who will be there, including major indie names such as Yuzu, Tricky, Vienna, Nekrolina, Sayu, Milky, Kirsche, and a panel of the australian vtuber group Verishon (Clio aite, Jean Faymas, Hanya, and Mako Fukusame)

What? How is this anything like /vtwbg/?? You don't larp over there at all and everything written is up to discussion. This thread could not be further from that if you want to larp as newsreporter and nothing is up to discussion.

Just passing by and I remembered something:
Some of you might now know of the old ancient pact but actually Hiromoot allows for exactly one meta thread for a given board.

There are certain precedents of how much the boundaries can be pushed: First of all was Yubicraft, who got kicked to /vg/, then got kicked back.
/jong/ is described as an example of a "mistake'" but /fig/ predates it for over a year, and /hfz/ predates them both by 2.
Divegrass /vt/ league generals are allowed but the 4ccup is not.

>>72323251
/ybc/, /nasfaqg/, /vtwbg/, /hfz/ and even /news/ are all at least indirectly linked to vtubing
/fig/ clearly is a failed thread that like 3 anons are unwilling to let go despite having lost any and all identity and being desperate to survive no matter the cost. It's turning into a weirder mix of stuff than even anya-petra and the two may as well merge given that i bet half the posters overlap anyway.
/jong/ is nothing but off-topic and deserves no spot on this board because at best thry link like one or two chuubas streaming jong and don't even talk about it and just made the thread their own little discord chat

Look, i loved the idea of a fighting game general, while i don't play them myself i think they are fun to watch and there are some awesome moments on high level play you don't get in other genres.
But at this point /fig/ has diluted itself so hard that i would never want to go there

Finally some good fucking content.
I just have no idea who in NijiEN has a rat as fans. I thought of Rosemi, but then I remembered she isn't a rat anymore. Aside from the first 2 gens, I have no idea what are their names or what their fans are even called.
Afaik, all of the nijimales fans and anything after the 2nd gen are called "sisters".

>>72293905
Sora appear as a guest in homos streams and chat since forever, she just never hosts them on her channel as far as I remember.

>>72294978
Probably not happening, Cover is responsible enough to know about the backlash they'd face if they tried to pull that shit—not just from the fans but from some of the talents (most notably Mumei). Besides that, none of them can consistently deliver good and entertaining content, which seems to now be an actual thing they look for when they're hiring on the EN side

Are we allowed to talk about the general state and going ons if /vt/ here? OP makes it seem like this is a meta thread so thats why im asking

>>72330944
This is not a meta thread. If there are events happening that other threads might be interested in, that's fine, but this is not the place where you bitch about jannies or whatever.
Ideally, there would be very little actual discussion, just people posting noteworthy happenings and possibly replying with clarifications. But some people can't help themselves and that's a losing battle anyway.

>>72308018
Quoting and anchoring for ye, case it archives:

>>72289290
>Anycolor settlement
https://www.anycolor.co.jp/news/963aqp_-6w5v
Actually pretty interesting case because there were a few suspicious details in it.
>First time Anycolor going for a settlement instead of going to court against someone who made money off of them
>Anycolor being the one who wanted to settle in the first place
>The voicepacks he sold had lines which were cannot be traced back to any previous stream or vod and has been proven to not be AI
>Perfect copies of Nipplemans signature in the goods that were being counterfeited
>Allegations that the person in question might have been related to either Lauren or another liver
Will probably go down as one of the number of classic nijisanji legal mysteries

>>72330944

RWBY general moving there only for their company to get dissolved in the same day is a good example of something that would fit

this actually happened?

Yeah, Rooster Teeth is finally dead and on sale

>>72331536
Wait until she tries to leave.

>>72331777
Yeah this right here marks the end of an era.
for the better, gaming youtuber networks were huge fucking scams that fucked over alot of early content creators

>>72331231
There's a "local" news section for things like that, yes. I suppose it has already occasionally included aggressive Jannie actions and other such meta'ish stuff, but it hasn't been the meat of the general.

>>72331209
Did the RWBY vtuber die, because her IP was up for sale, or is she still going?

Sounds like the original plan was to make Vtubers for a bunch of the characters, but until someone buys the IP, I guess it's all up in the air.

>>72332115
Based. Except MCNs still exist somehow and chuuba corpos are in them to get game perms. Shit remains wack yo.

>>72331777
oh, I knew that part. But I thought that what you said actually happened somehow.
I didn't know it was hypothetical.

Literally no reason for this. You're just spreading gossip

>>72331777
Imagine Cover buys the RWBY IP and decides to please its investors by telling them it's expanding into anime production.

>>72332851
Rrats don't need sources. That's why they are rrats.

>>72332543
Streaming/content networks today seem alot better than early youtube at least.
Machinima,IGN, and even rooster teeth's contracts were so fucked up and anti employee that they make nijisanji look like the gold standard in comparision.

>>72332945
It's not really a rrat if you have a direct source.

>>72332945
But he's literally saying that there is a source he just doesn't want to say it? He's just intentionally shit stirring

>>72333022
>>72333064
no that's what you're doing. i'm withholding the source because the drama is the one thing the source hates about this whole thing.
all you need to know is that at least some talents of that corpo are confirmed to be siding with the corpo.

>>72333276
>dude trust me
Called it!!!

>>72333276
>drama is the one thing the source hates about this whole thing.
Yeah you're just baiting
>My source that is perpetuating more drama actually hates drama

>>72331536
Yeah, that's why I gave an offhand mention the rrats yonder (>>72299167) but it doesn't matter how crazy the bitch was, nothing justifies a $450K invoice. That's pure extortion on the part of V&U. (To terminate an EXPIRED contract at that, and lie about it to boot.)

And while someone being happy with the company obviously isn't a bad sign, with the psychological warfare these black companies tend to play, enforcing a sense of total dependence while destroying any sense of independent self worth, it doesn't mean a whole lot. There's always some that will drink the koolaid, and end up like Millie, who makes a bunch of defensive claims about her company that would be proved false with even a modicum of time outside her bubble, or Claude, who actually thinks it's a good thing that they keep his play button and don't order him a copy, despite only having been there for a short time, and thinks it's because nearly 300 vtubers simply haven't asked for theirs.

...and yes, I'm sure if she ever has to leave, I'm sure she'll find herself suddenly changing her tune.

>>72333276
>being selective about news to protect someone
>in a thread deticated to spoonfeeding the catalogue on drama

>>72334028
Read the signed contract yourself. (>>72299167)
>Article 5: The term for this Agreement shall be one 1 year.

Either she is referring to the unenforceable confidentiality clause (A9), or is still subconsciously taking their word for it.

>>72334028
I'm typing out the text of the contract (from LM's stream) at the moment. The length of the contract is one year from signing (15 Sep 2022). The length of the confidentiality clause was three years, however.

>>72333710
Doesn't matter. One talent's "dude trust me" isn't newsworthy anyway, even if >we had a name to put to it. It's about as valuable as anon's "dude trust me".
Even if we assume that Serafi is somehow not truthful (which she has reason to, let's be real), V&U themselves corroborated a good chunk of her story. It makes no sense for both of them to lie about the same things even though I'm pretty sure the contract said 1 year, not 3, and both of their statements said it was a 3-year contract, so anything where they agree can be considered true.

>>72334294
We have it in writing that it isn't true (or again, they are both referring to A9, and for some strange reason no one has used that wording). I think the most likely thing is they have lied to Serafi so many times that she believes it, and perhaps her lawyer didn't bring up that point to her after the $450K sticker shock.

And again, all rrats are "dude trust me", that have, at best, hypothetically circumstantial evidence to back them up. That's why they are linked to the RRATS anchor and not the NEWS anchor. That is why it exists. (For example >>72132762 and 72140702.) Rumor rats.

Here's the V&U contract:

...
referred to as "Broadcaster" as a broadcasting service provider) hereby agree that Broadcaster shall provide service activities on the business channels operated by Company under the following terms and conditions.


Article 1 (Broadcaster's Work)

Broadcaster shall perform high-quality character performance and activities as Vtuber in accordance with the Company's request or with mutually agreed content, schedule, terms, and conditions. The duties of Broadcaster under this Agreement shall include activities, such as vocals, broadcasting content planning, business consultations for broadcasting purpose, and attending meetings for business.


Article 2 (Broadcasting)

Broadcaster shall broadcast for at least three 3 days a week and at least 2 hours during one broadcasting performance and shall write at least three 3 posts per week having agreed quality or better to upload on SNS and otherwise. In connection with the foregoing, Company and Broadcaster may adjust the frequency and time through monthly consultations, but if the consultation does not proceed due to any circumstances, it will be decided to proceed as the previous consultation matters or broadcasting matters. Broadcaster, with regard to the above consultation, may present and discuss his/her own various practical opinion to Company, but the final judgment and decisions shall be made by Company, and Broadcaster shall respect and follow as far as the decision is reasonable.

Broadcaster shall not slander Company or employees of it, with any reason or purpose, and other broadcasters of Company in carrying out activities in this Agreement, and particularly it is strictly prohibited to use Company's assets and rights stipulated in Article 3 for personal or private purposes other than performing contractual activities.

Broadcaster shall be strictly prohibited from making political, racial, hateful, sexual, or provocative remarks or actions in broadcasting activities. Broadcaster shall share all the schedules and contents related to activities with Company based on the nature of the broadcasting. Broadcasting with schedules and contents that are not notified to Company is strictly prohibited, and Broadcaster shall bear all the responsibilities for any problems or claims that may adversely affect Company's business or cause tangible or intangible losses and shall keep and hold Company indemnified and harmless.


Article 3 (Company's Assets and Rights)

Company shall reserve the right to ownership, use rights, and business rights of all productions (including but not limited to various characters) produced, secured, or used by Company. Company also shall reserve all the rights to all accounts necessary for broadcasting using them. Broadcaster merely have the right to use the above rights and assets provided or held by Company for broadcasting purpose on a limited basis, and in any case, Broadcaster shall not restrict access to the account, block, close, disclose, or link other account without the prior written permission or consent from Company. It is strictly forbidden to change the account ID, password, or email address without the prior written permission or consent of the Company. On the other hand, even if changes are made with prior permission or consent, Broadcaster shall notify Company of such changes and otherwise, and inform Company in detail of the progress when receiving a request for disclosure or sharing from Company.


Article 4 (Business Communication with Corresponding Manager)

If Broadcaster wishes to communicate with people inside or outside Company about content that is directly related to activities under this Agreement, affects the contractual activities, or may affect the business and reputation of Company, Broadcaster shall inform to and discuss the related purpose and matters with the corresponding manager in charge in Company in advance. Broadcaster shall be responsible for any friction, conflict and dispute with internal and external parties arising from the violation of this obligations and take strict responsibilities for losses and damages in Company's business therefrom.

>>72335447
Article 5 (Term, Termination, and Change to Exclusive Contract)

The term of this Agreement shall be one 1 year. However, fifteen 15 days prior to four 4 months after the execution of this Agreement. Company may conduct a service evaluation on Broadcaster's sincerity, talent and growth potential based on the work performance as Broadcaster, and as a result, if it is difficult for Company to further collaborate with Broadcaster as a Vtuber, or if it is difficult for Broadcaster to continue broadcasting due to company's own circumstances, either Company or Broadcaster may terminate this Agreement at its own discretion, and either party shall not raise any objections thereto against the other party.

Even before the expiration of this Agreement, Company may terminate this Agreement in consultation with Broadcaster and execute a brand-new exclusive service agreement with Broadcaster regarding Vtuber activities. The terms and conditions of the exclusive service agreement are determined through separate mutual consultation, but, in any case, it will be more advantageous monetarily for Broadcaster than those in this Agreement.


Article 6 (Service Activity Fees and Incentives After Expiration of Period)

Company shall pay USD 500 per month as an activity fee at the end of each month in exchange for Broadcaster's sincere activities in this Agreement, but USD 2,500 for the fourth month. The monthly activity fee after the fourth month shall be determined through mutual consultation between the parties.


Article 7 (Nature of Agreement)

This Agreement shall not be a labor or employment contract between Company and Broadcaster, whereas it is a special service providing Agreement for which Broadcaster performs and completes the tasks agreed between the parties or requested by Company autonomously, creatively and faithfully in accordance with this Agreement and the Vtuber market practice.


Article 8 (Cancellation of Termination of Agreement)

If this Agreement is canceled or terminated by Company due to Broadcaster's fault or non-fulfillment of the Agreement other than the reasons for expiration, cancellation, or termination of the Agreement stipulated above, Broadcaster shall compensate Company for the paid-up amount in accordance with this Agreement, direct expenses incurred for the performance of the Vtuber work, replacement personnel input costs, and damages. If Company's damages cannot be easily calculated or proven by Company, Broadcaster shall compensate to Company, at Company's option, within five 5 times the amount in this Agreement received by Broadcaster.


Article 9 (Prohibition of Competition and Confidentiality)

During the term of this Agreement, Broadcaster shall not have a qualitative and quantitative adverse effect on the work under this Agreement in the form of a contract(s) similar to this Agreement or a contract related to Vtuber activities (Vtuber entertainment service providing contract, Vtuber entertainment service providing arrangement contract, exclusive contract, and etc.) with a third party without the prior written consent of Company, and shall not engage in employment, service, bypass or cooperation with or in any relationship with competitors of Company in any matters.

Broadcaster shall not disclose business progress, business methods, and business-related activities with Company in a manner other than the purpose of the contractual activities and shall not disclose to any parties or use all information learned while working for Company, internal activities, and the business status of Company without the prior consent from Company.

I am oddly not seeing a thread in the catalog about this, and it isn't the sort of thing to be brought up in a fan's general, so maybe someone should make a thread so it doesn't have to be discussed in /news/.

I've gotta head out, but if there isn't one when I get back, maybe I'll do it, though I'd have to research Serafi's new statement first.

what would be a good name for such publication?

>>72339723
Here's the thing though: I am not a breadmaker. So if a thread were to be made, someone else has to do it. I mean I could give it a try(breadmaking) but I don't know where to start.

>>72339335
I hid the rrat anchor, 4chanX does the rest, I have no idea what you mean.

>>72340097
Yeah, but we have retards(or just one retard) in this thread straight up copying and pasting shitty bait from the [Catalog] and I want to get rid of that.

>>72340327
and what would /tabloid/ imply? also the name is too long /tbld/ is better.

>>72340453
>what would /tabloid/ imply?
Posting shitty bait from the [Catalog], gossip, rumors, and rrats.

>>72340665
oh, I see.

i don't really understand why you would need to go through the effort of making a containment thread, just remove the anchor and clearly denote the offending posts as off-topic then report and ignore them when they happen.

>>72340453
No, We dont need anymore generals.
New Generals are being made almost daily now, to the point where its overwhelming the board. Most of them are just combinations of other generals or an exscuse for anons to play discord on an imageboard.
The last think anyone eants is for vt to become like /vg/

>>72340962
>First off
As I stated before in past threads. The Rrat anchor was made to separate well rrats from the news anchor. It was sort of a way to contain them but now they have broken containment.
>Second point
Rrats were going to be posted regardless. It's the sad truth.
>Third point
Jannies aren't going to do shit.

But maybe you are right in some way. What if instead of creating a containment thread, we make a rule that you can't straight-up copy and paste shitty bait from the [Catalog]?

>>72341909
There's nothing wrong with new generals. Old generals which can't keep up can combine or die. The more generals there are, the less space there is for shitty catalog bait.

>>72341909
>The last think anyone eants is for vt to become like /vg/
/vt/ should be destroyed and replaced with /vtg/

>>72341909
>The last think anyone eants is for vt to become like /vg/

does he knows?

>>72342915
You mean become even worse and filled with schizos?

>>72343458
no catalog bait means the end of the easy (you) era

>>72342457
the way i see it only the previous thread got shit up significantly and maliciously. not only does maintaining a containment thread require effort, shitposting does too. what i would personally do is just pretend it never happened and keep on incentivizing positive contributions with attention.

i'm not an important contributor to /news/ mostly just a lurker, but from experience from my general the real enemy isn't raids and shitposting - it's burnout. maintaining the energy for positive contributions and enthusiasm is most important. also just generally i'm pretty spiteful and i don't like seeing people concede ground to malicious actors.

>>72342457
>What if instead of creating a containment thread, we make a rule that you can't straight-up copy and paste shitty bait from the [Catalog]?
That can be a fine line divided by opinion. The /news/ thread isn't moving so fast that it's out of control, and folks in a rush are only going to look at the anchors, which most people doing that sort of thing flippantly won't bother to link back to.

Plus the catalog eventually archives, so copy/pasting from the catalog is often better than simply linking.

>>72343714
I'm not talking about links that's fine. I'm talking about the picture posts.

>>72344709
/vg/ is a shithole for sure, but compare it to /v/

Small update regarding Holo x Break:
Seems like it won't have online coop on launch perhaps? If you check the steam page atm: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2719150/Holo_X_Break/
You'll see that the online coop store category label got removed and it now says "Up to 4 players local with online in an upcoming update" (Feel free to check wayback machine to see the difference)
According to steamdb, looks like the change was made sometime yesterday. Kay, nor the holocure twitter hasn't said anything atm, but I assume a notice would go out maybe a day before/on the day of launch perhaps.

>>72344709
/vg/ is a shithole but a necessary one because look at /v/ lmao

>>72344872
probably they tried something like rollback and it exploded

>>72343528
Eh, anyone who thinks this hasn't spent time in any of the bigger /vt/ generals. It's extremely easy to farm (you)s in any of them.

>>72344806
/v/ despite its current state still has the occasional thread with really good discussion.
/vg/ generals are almost always completely off topic to the thread's topic, and devolve into avatar fagging and eceleb seethe.
This place would be much worse if it became a general board.

>>72345129
you are not taking into account this board is the stepchild of cosplay and we have psychotic women like orc schizo using the catalog as a propaganda tool.
Everything in this board is deeply personal, avatar fagging and eceleb seethe are core features of this board, not bugs.

True reform would involve sending all western vtubers to trash but that was tried before and its consequences still plague us to this day

He'll still make the thread, but it'll die off faster since it'll get to page 10 faster.
If your general can't get enough posts to the point where it's dying to low effort 10-post catalog threads, it's probably already dead or a glorified image dump and should merge anyway. Generals which are mostly just "bump" "bump" "bump" are already living on borrowed time.

Only newfags want this. Generals got banned on some boards for a reason.

>>72344872
>>72288531

>>72354362
the thing is, this isnt like other boards.
This is more akin to biz, there is an economic incentive to shit on this board, as the niji sisters have proven over and over
Company shills roam over the catalog, some paid, some free, some mods. Sectorizing and containing deprives them of their power.
Same goes for dedicated antis. You cant shit every chuuba in every general but you can shit on her in the catalog and maybe you will find other bloodhound schizos thirsty for blood

>>72354708
Let me remind you everything you accuse one side of practicing also applies to "your" side. But you turn a blind eye on it.

>>72354362
Threads with actual discussion are extremely rare on the catalog due to how easy it is to samefag on a board with no flags or IDs. And because the catalog is mostly full of shitposters and dramafags who don't watch streams, you get people "discussing" YouTube clip thumbnails and Twitter screencaps.

>>72352310
catalog bait gets bumped more than slow generals
it's bait for a reason

>>72355418
As someone who routinely watches page 10 of the catalog, you'd be surprised how many bait threads float around page 10 and need to be bumped repeatedly by the OP trying to save the thread until it's SEA hours and then schizos organically bump the thread until 310.

>>72355057
ah, but you see, no one pays people to shit on niji
this is a holoboard

>>72354708
If tribalfaggotry is your main argument then you're just as bad, if not worse than these bait threads you are advocating against
also

>the thing is, this place isn't like other boards

is complete bullshit, a large chunk of /vt/'s culture comes from other boards like /tv/, /a/, and especially /pw/. Corpos wars and tribal faggotry are a mirror of the old /v/ console wars, and even the obssesion with numbers and ecelebs is taken from from some of the oldest anime and gaming generals on the site.

If anything /vt/ is like a melting pot of several board cultures.

>>72288531 ANCHOR

>>72357928
>disproves the previous theory of their first wave only having one talent
Their first debut will only have one talent though. I don't know if they'll treat later debuts as the same wave/gen/whatever but they're starting off with only one talent.

>>72358233
Oh, I didn't see this. My bad.
Honestly I think this is a good route, put some feelers out with 1 before dropping more.

>>72358391
I'm hoping that starting with only 1 talent means that she's been vetted as hag prime and they're very confident in her but only time will tell.

>>72354362
To add a bit of history, at least in /a/, before the generals were a thing, there were threads or thread chains set up for currently airing (in Japanese TV) episodes and a little post-episode discussion until the thread dies. These are called livewatching threads. If /vt/ is to operate this way, there would be livewatching threads whenever a top corpo or large indie vtuber is streaming.

It's an interesting thought experiment to imagine how threads would live or die depending on how interesting the stream would be. Imagine the intense butthurt whenever Holo and Niji start their overlapping streams at JP and EN prime times and their livewatching threads kill other threads due to sheer numbers. Think about it: a season has around 20 series airing spread over the week, that is dwarfed by the number of streams every day.

Now, imagine how some of these threads would exist even after the vtuber ends stream and posts are just discussions about their oshi. Similarly, in /a/, some series would generate so much hype that post-episode discussion would persist days after it aired and days after the subs are out. These were the so-called specula thread which evolved into general threads because the discussion is not just speculation on future events (very obvious when the series has already ended, but was also frequently argued with regards to adaptations and slice-of-life).

At this point, it seems that generals for corpos make sense as containment to not let /vt/ get hogged by the top corpo talents or units. If there are hundreds of anime every season, /a/ would be having generals on animation studios instead of the series. Still, it seems futile as splits happen and top talents and units get their own generals. It's funny how the evolution of board behavior of /vt/ and /a/ still converges.

>>72357928
Developing their own talents feels like the traditional employee-like corpo but their partnership with Kawa as well as them making fun of abusive corpo practices suggest they could be another talent freedom agency with a merch focus like MSM and 3am.

Someone brought this up before, and I'm not sure what this means other than tying V&U to the scum that is SM entertainment. I suppose it gives their legal threats a little more weight. (Even if there's no winning that case regardless of the size of your legal team.)
