Literally the best girls were all connected somehow. It's accepted because it works and shows results. Gamers are some of the best and most recognizable of the Holos period.

The only people that have actually applied to hololive and got selected by a normal process are

Mio got in through application. She never shared about knowing Fubuki not until she got in. The Gamers lore of Fubuki inviting Mio and inviting Korone and Okayu over after meeting them in an arcade is supposed to be the lore behind the Gamers group. That's it. Korone is actually the one that got in because she was recommended probably by Okayu. She was pretty well known already NND anyways.
I think only Miko, Noel, Korone and Polka got in without being interviewed.

If someone got in because of influence, it would probably be Reine and Anya. Reine was an okay utaite and Anya was a nobody. She's horrible at streaming and it shows that she's never done it. There's like hundreds of Indie ID vtubers, and you get the least to no experience whatsoever. Hhhmmmm....

>>3653315
>do your fucking archive reps
Luna's reincarnations is a overblown meme at this point, which you should know if you actually did your archive reps. And her or Kiara's experiences still have nothing to do with nepotism.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3653520
>Chemistry makes collaborations more entertaining
Chemistry is the key word here. It's probably actually the only thing it's all about. Nijisanji did the same thing with Sasaki, Shiina, Lize, Ange, Nui, etc. who were all part of the same incestuous group on Nico beforehand along with other girls like Korone and Okayu. Calling it nepotism is missing the point entirely, what they're doing instead is absorbing small independent circles who already have experience doing this kind of work together instead of recruiting newbies on an individual basis.

I think it helps here more than it hurts. You can't exactly audition talents for how good their chemistry will be with each other. Being part of a good network always demonstrates the ability to be a good networker, it is difficult to show off the former in isolation because why would a good networked not be in a good group? Things like Mori and Takanashi having the potential to be friends probably was a plus, I wouldn't even be surprised if they knew each other beforehand.

There's two versions of that story, either it is 100% true and Sora is just as young as A-Chan or it is actually true but their youth is long gone and Sora has been trying FOR YEARS to get an Idol gig and just recently got the VTuber one and had to get her old tech-savvy school friend A-Chan for help.

You cannot count termination because we know for a fact those are just outside of both company's hand. Niji only has Meiro as a termination btw. Hololive has the whole HoloCN and Chitose. People that chooses to leave are the issue here. And as far what matters, that is only Aloe. Even the lowest in SCs, Viewerships, Subscription or overall profitability has not left Hololive.
