>"Why do Corpo Vtubers go on hiatus so much? I think a major contributor has to do with management."

>"Management, unfortunately, has no stake in the talent that they're managing. If a talent does really, really well, they don't get extra money (They only get a set salary). However, if the talent that they're managing screws up, or does something risky, then the manager is going to get in big trouble. They're going to get chewed out at the next meeting, or they might get reassigned, or fired or something like that."

>"So from a manager's perspective, I see no reason for them to let their talent EVER do anything risky. They just want them to do the same thing that everybody else is doing, that's been tried and true proven safe that you know they won't get in trouble for, and then they can just live their life in peace, with no anxiety."

>"Unfortunately, this leads to a lot of rejection – a TON of rejection, like, a crazy amount (more than than you might think) — it can deal damage to the psyche, I think. A vtuber is a Performing Artist. They are a creative, and it's never really a good feeling to like-- Basically a "non-creative person" is telling you "how to be creative", and that's just a recipe for disaster, in my opinion. I think the best way to manage a creative is to let them do what they want to do."

>"If you join a corporation as a streamer, or YouTuber, you don't really own any of the stuff that you create, from that point on. And a lot of people can get over that and deal with it.. but the more you think about it the more it kind of weighs down on you."

>"It's a tough gig. It really takes a toll on your mental health, and you just need to take time off to recover."

Could this be the reason why Ame left? The feeling of having no real ownership of her creative projects?

A lot of was very understandable up until this point. Music performers in Hololive's case for sure, but they're just playing video games for the most part.

Randon sounds right. I'm in the arts naturally and I had to edit my my own works because editors kept giving me sass.
"Well editors are supposed to well, edit"
I can't let (paid) randoms chop off story branches I'm going to expand on later on my whim. You have to let a creative person be creative.
Now if you want someone to do the same thing everyone else is just give them a list of games they can play and say "Have at it tiger." and call it a day.
The worst offender that would piss me off the most is a canceled project. Commit or fuck off (politely). We don't need any of that from any company.
Do you know how much shitty media makes it to the shelves? A LOT. Let the customer decide if your project is worth anything but you might as well have been asleep if you don't release anything eventually.
Besides why are they scared of getting in trouble? Write ups don't really mean anything and if you get fired enjoy unemployment.

You won’t get anything resembling intelligent conversation here because “hurrrr homos” but he’s not saying anything out of line. That’s why it’s baffling to me that anyone would celebrate Altare venting hard on management. “Management does nothing to support” us doesn’t mean exclusively Stars EN. He’s talking about EN in general and it’s a sentiment many of the girls have expressed as well. You would hope that losing Ame would get their heads out of their asses but I guess not. Maybe when Gura dips and they lose the most subbed vtuber on the planet they’ll start making some changes.

Hes completely right but the unsaid thing is its even further than that.
Your paid almost entirely based on commision, aka on your metrics.
So if your metrics are struggling for example, your taking the hit while your manger is not and you set up this entirely toxic structure where the talent in question is incentivised to try and do something new and creative in every way but the management is just as incentivised to shut everything down and demand they continue the same thing that isn't working out for them.
Its why >>90149685

There is a huge difference for several reasons.

Audience size is a big one, but holostars don't get that luxury. Holo also didn't cripple existing talent with new waves in the same area every couple months.

Cover hires people that work well with everyone and are supportive. I believe Noel was holding out for Rushia for a long time before she gave up on her, which is saying a lot. In Niji they heard one bit of slander from management and we got the Selen situation.

Autonomy in merch sales. While there are plenty of group merch that they have to be a part of, they have a budget on what merch they can release at their own pleasure. In Niji, Scarle had to make her body pillow a free download so people could do it themselves. They would not allow her to have a body pillow.

And lastly money in general. Holo talents are only really poor if they're gatcha addicts, and even then it's not real poor. They get a salary unlike most talent agencies we see. They're allowed to be small and foster a good community before they grow.

We also know Randon has tons of crazy ideas that might not go well with an idol agency. He also probably also hated that he had to sing and dance for concerts. He's probably doing right now what's best for him. I did really like him and Magni though. I thought the group with Calli and Kronii was really fun. It's a shame they couldn't find themselves fitting in.

as a guy with a passing interest in vtubers, i gotta ask something
why are male hololive members so extremely disliked? from what i've seen they are mostly inoffensive.

Contrary to most of the replies to this post, the truth is it wasn't JUST about Unicorns. There's a reason why even the non-unicorn audience started to be more pro segregation. Initially, HomostarsEN was mostly positively received by not just outside but even this board. Hell, StarsJp pre-2022 was considered "underrated" by most fans across the board and either had a positive to neutral impression overall. Shit absolutely changed in 2022 when Shinove left and whoever at management decided to force feed StarsJP AND EN to the hololive audience.
>Tons of promoting stars via the main twitter account of both branches
>The "No Overlap" rule that got implemented during Uproar's 3d debut.
>Getting shoved into what should've been Hololive only event streams like the NY countdown, Holofes, Holomeet, etc
>There was even an incident where the taiwanese holofans complained when Holostars trinkets where mixed in with Hololive ones in a gacha (not sure if this was Cover or the event organizer though)
>StarsEN debuts getting a watchalong in the main HoloEN account which, if my memory serves me right, was the first livestream on that account ever
Now all of this would have been fine, and was the case for the most part, until the Homos (both EN and JP) themselves started fucking up on their own
>Pizzadad ditching his old man design for generic NTR dude #456412 (I loved that design and most of his former fans did too, but he pretty much told them to fuck off)

>Magni inviting cancer like 39daph into collabs who actually tried to cancel Hololive after the negative response to their stream but got overshadowed by a twitch scandal
>Blue homo: "Support the cause"
And then they debuted Tempus 2 after 6 months despite EN3 being MIA for over 2 years. I think it would've been fine if the talent they debuted was worth accelerating for but outside of maybe Bettel, the rest were bad. And in Flayon's case, reeeeally bad. And on top of that, the starmin audience has gotten coopted by a bunch of bad actors and are pretty much just another antiHolo fandom at this point. Don't get me wrong, Unicorn's were definitely one of the reasons but they are definitely not the only or even main reason for where we are right now.

More than anything else I feel like it's a fundamental cultural difference- Cover understands the value of at least trying to make your talent happy, Anycolor actively doesn't give a shit. Cover still has to say no to a lot of things because that's the reality of being a big company, but you can point to plenty of cases where they let the talents do something it would've been easier to say no to.

Omega's brain is a real enigma of stupidity.

Unicorns likely agree with Altare that Cover has been treating the EN branch like garbage in 2024 but he might collab with their oshi so they are going to defend management. They know many of the HoloEN girls have similar issues and have made vague complaints on RM accounts.

Cover might have financial reasons for why they didn't want Ina to have a 3D live in 2024 but the way they "forgot" her work visa was insulting.

Not "over two years"- closer to a year and a half, but it was also about when people were expecting EN3 going by the gaps from JP5->JP6 and ID2->ID3 so people were going "WTF" when they debuted a second round of boys at that point instead.

>>90161515
I'd imagine it was two things motivating them to debut Tempus 2 so quickly:

A) They might have considered there being almost a year between EN1 and EN2 to be too long and didn't want to repeat that mistake
B) They knew that the EN girls weren't going to be able to stream much in Q1 of 2023 because they'd all be in Japan for Holofes, making it a prime time to debut *some* kind of new generation for the EN audience. I'd say this was correct and the boys probably did get a buff from debuting in a period where the girls weren't streaming much (hence them repeating the same thing with the timing of Advent and Justice's debuts happening around when their predecessor gens were in Japan for 3D debuts) but obviously most of the girls' audience did not consider that to be a proper substitute.

Cover likely had financial reasons for wanting the 3D live to be delayed and it was far too much of a coincidence for the work visa to expire after Ina finished all the recordings for the Hololive concerts so that it only cancelled her 3D live. A part of the reason Cover spent tens of millions on a new studio is to advertise the Hololive character which is than used to sell merch. That management decided it was a waste of company resources for Ina to have a 3D live in 2024 means that something major is going to be announced in early 2025.

Beyond that, even if you're right about them wanting to cancel Ina's 3d because they thought it was a waste of resources was true- which is a stupid theory in and of itself, considering she's one of the more popular EN talents- as bad a look as it would be to pull the rug out from under her and say "yeah we know we said you could do a 3D live but we changed our mind get fucked" it's still a better look than "we're incompetent and fucked up your visa" so the idea that they'd fuck it on purpose just to not have to directly cancel a 3D live is in and of itself schizo fucking idiocy.

this is the only way to make the system run properly, and I think cover is doing what it should

if managers were paid proportionally to the earnings of the talent, they would be incentivized to fight over who gets to manage the highest earning talent
they would all say
>ooh me me me I want gura, damnit that's taken okay fine give me calli, fuck okay who's after that
thered be no incentive to manage the lowest viewed members (meaning they'd probably give much less shits about them), *unless* the same manager's ambitions led them to push the talent to do numbers-driven growth, which is antithetical to being a creative and having a comfy streamer life
in the latter case you'd also get talents saying "im only doing this because my managers are pushing me to because they'll make more money from me" and it'll cause a lack of trust and professional working relationship with the manager

randon is right.
However, it takes a lot of employees to do a big project.
Negotiations with publishers, tax work, legal work, game licensing negotiations, industrial physicians, 3D asset development, large sponsorships, negotiations with other vtuber management....
If a vtuber is in a position to do paid gigs at large venues, it is impossible for an individual to do it.
The same goes for mint and doki.
If you just want to play games in front of everyone, an independent vtuber is enough. All he/she has to do is buy a body, look at the vtuber manuals that exist on the Internet, gather the equipment, and do the tax work himself/herself.
But big companies do big things to show their fans their dreams.
It takes a lot of employees who are serious and afraid of failure to make that happen.
Most of all, people who apply to be a big company vtuber should apply because they want to do something big.
If you don't understand the “big company vtuber team play,” you shouldn't apply. Those who apply to major vtubers instead of choosing independent vtubers because they “don't want to do big things” or “just want to play games” are, in my opinion, the wrong people to apply to.
I do not think the companies are at fault. I think it is my fault that the vtubers who applied try to sneak in without understanding the ambitions of the major companies.
I think applicants who are glib in interviews and talk about their dreams when they really don't have them are a nuisance to major companies.

In the time between IRyS first mentioning that she was talking with management about changing up her model and her actually getting her 2.0 model, two generations of StarsEN debuted, two members of StarsEN got model upgrades, with one of those being an entire rework in the same vein that IRyS would eventually get, and then those same two guys graduated. It took IRyS longer than the entire careers of two of the homos to get something that management was more than willing to give them without a problem.

I am going to choose to ignore the incels and unicorns in the rest of the comments and say that all this taught me is that Cover needs to institute a bonus pay system for managers that pull off successful endeavors with their talents.

We live in an era where rando indies can pull off impressive feats of technology or innovation in the field. They need to keep up, and recent moves tell me they know this. Cover should be completely mogging the industry with how much presence and connections they have.

The talents are all creative people who want to make waves online.
No one really cares if they mess up as long as they don't pull up something controversial or whatever. Most of the best content from Cover as a whole has been one or two talents doing something on their own.

Managers should be rewarded for helping guide their talents and hone in the creative chaos energy into something that can be realized. The talents already get rewarded with support from their chats and from the general attention they get online.

The point is that those restrictions are there for a reason.
As Marine said, even though there might be a lot of restrictions, those are there to protect the group and members first and foremost. It's not like the management just woke up, rolled a dice and made up some random restrictions for funsies. Isn't it understandable that Cover (or organizations in general) will try to protect themselves if the possible profits can't outweigh the risk?

The ambitions of the major companies is to have their vtubers just sit on their ass and stream all day and make $$$, just like indies do. If the company can get away with not doing any big projects/events, then that's what they are going to try to do. The issue is that most vtubers who join a company expect that company to work on organizing big projects/events with the money the company is taking from their donos/merch/etc. But many companies would rather just pocket that money and not invest it into big projects/events. That is exactly what happened to NijiEN, and look how they turned out.

The zhangs who got modded in Coco's chat weren't actual real people and had nothing to do with a "mole"
Coco herself made a list of different accounts spamming her chat and passed it up to management so that could ban them in advance, rather the her having to ban a bunch of accounts manually during stream
Somehow management fucked up modded some of those accounts (they even banned some of her viewers before anyone noticed)
This would cause Coco to get so frustrated that she would cry on stream, which in turned incited management to allow Coco to just mod some of her long-time/trust viewers

>proving the "management is shit" rrat
That shit happened like close to 4 years ago and 2 years before Vepser/Randon showed up
Management is WAY better at handling "yabs" now than they were back then

Management for the girls have consistently been shit in favor of the homos, which is why it's extremely funny to see these faggots stab their managers in the back despite all the times they went to bat for them.

Yep, I think what was going on is that the perms only lasted for 1 week and they might have been putting it in too early, like stated above somewhere, there's no actual "perms manager" its just a chore some one or more does periodically.

I think they don't allow them to do anything too risky because it wouldn't be worth it and they're too small to convince management otherwise because nothing suggest they know what they're doing since they are shitters now and were complete shitters without Cover.

Yeah it was and everybody correctly called them retards for doing that
But it wouldn't happen today because Management's takeaway lesson from that embarrassment was that it's best it just allow girls to give mod power to people at their own behest
So now when you walk into a HoloID stream, like 1/4th of the chat has mods power because they mod all their streaming buddies for example

What would they get royalties on? When you leave they stop using your character in projects and stop selling your merch. There's nothing to pay royalties on.
If they keep your channel up I guess you might be entitled to a percentage of whatever residual ad revenue it generates but it's probably gonna be very little.

Any hype for males was already over at that point Tempus numbers were down and Vesper was going menhera, really it was mostly about Vesfag going full leech mode inserting himself into hololive even fagni didn't push for mixed collabs as much.

>there's no actual "perms manager"
No, they're are in fact, people who's jobs exist soley exist to seccure perms for games/copyrighted material. The actual issue is that its really fucking slow and archaic the process is
Just saying "everyone can stream my game" isn't enough, first you have to wait for them to email you, then you have to respond (you can see how this can be an issue for one-man dev teams or really huge companies) to that email and detail any conditions about the perms you're giving them, and then you have to wait for the employee who you're responding to see that email and THEN the Holo has perms
I had to do this give Holos perms for a fangame I made and the process legit took like 2 weeks

>What would they get royalties on?
Ad revenue on their videos? From streams/purchases of their music?
It might be next to nothing but it isn't nothing.
And if you retain a post-activity relationship with the talent through this kind of arrangement, why wouldn't you continue merchandising the character?

>> No.90182594

bcs it would be seen as exploiting the fan. why wouldn't they hire someone else to replace the vtuber. samething.

no, if the original talent is getting the money and the fan is getting merch of them, there's no problem

I remember this when Lethal Company blew up. Holos didn't get to play the game until like a month later and remember thinking that was funny when the guy just upfront said he had no issues anyone streaming it. Some of the Stars even got onto their PL accounts to stream a game there because they couldn't do it in Holo

Kronii did want to get on the good side of management but she liked the collabs with Vesper and Magni. While management definitely encourages HoloPro unity the idea they were forcing it on Hololive is unicorn copium.

Oh please, no problem my ass, maybe for fans of that individual talent, but for the rest I don't think so. it will also affect hololive as the graduation is completely meaningless, the whole arc, the story of what makes hololive special will be gone. you people really think hololive is just a streamer company.
