Because in Hololive, the talents fund the merch and production, so they end up getting a bigger cut of the sales.
In Niji (at least EN), the livers don't fund anything, the company just slaps their face/name on generic merch that the company pays to produce, and the livers get a small cut of the profit.

Really? Wouldn't that make her earn about as much as Pippa? That's fucking funny.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45078865
that seems counter intuitive though? merch costs money to actually make and all of that so like if you spend $10 on some merch some cut of that is going to the design of it, the manufacture of it and so on, probably more than the 30% youtube takes as a cut of superchat

[Anonymous No.]

Merch isn't the best way to support them when shipping prices are like this though

If you're selling merch and 70 percent of it gets lost to middlemen you need to come up with a better business model

[Anonymous No.]

>>45079054
I mean youtube takes 30% of superchat I would have assumed all the design and manufacturing for merch would cost at least 30% of the overall price of the merch if its custom stuff like holos get?

He said 30% not 70%

[Anonymous No.]

How do I skip the middleman and fund Riku's yatch directly?

[Anonymous No.]

>>45079054
That 70% includes Anycolor's cut, so 30% would still be going to the liver, versus 35% for superchats/memberships, and 50% for streamlabs/voicepacks.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45078838
We've gotten unique merch already like the Petra hoodie, though idk if custom merch=self funded merch. I know some of the Ex-KR members have put out custom merch recently.

The VP's are apparently the best revenue for the members I've heard though. They should bring back the custom ones they did for the first 2 EN waves.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45078865
Niji's have other stuff that they make good money on though. They have streamlabs to circumvent the youtube 30% cut and they have way more voicepacks than hololive members also circumventing the 30% cut and thats what they usually recommend you spend your money on.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45079016
Wait, I thought Hololive eliminated shipping costs or something?

[Anonymous No.]

>>45078408
Sounds made up since we've got many talents taking breaks, playing games they can't monetize and no shift or urgency to do longer streams, beg for superchats and read all superchats if that is considered their primary income. Just seems like a Niji thing.

How is this speculation? Did you contrast one of the confirmed income of one of the vtubers with their superchat, potential ad revenue and membership because it doesn't seem to add up once you take into account youtube cut and Cover cut? You are telling me that one vtuber, I think it was Lamy but could be wrong, who has $1.5m annual got that all from just membership, superchats and casual revenue and not a significant cut from their merch sales at all?

Miko's b-day limited set had an initial stock of 5400/600 on holoshop/gj. It sold out on the holoshop in 4 minutes and on geekjack in 10 minutes moving a minimum of $792,000 worth of merch. and this is only the limted set, we don't know how many was in total. the lion's share of that money goes to Miko's pocket.

NTA but I think a lot of people are missing the forest from the trees here. Pekora's merch run from last year (back when you could cheese Covers website to see their stock) earned her a solid million. Even runts like Aki and Choco push upwards to 50k-100k on stupid shit like cook books. There's a reason why Kson couldn't continue on as an indie despite her SCs being solid even after she graduated, she needed help in merch distribution and connections that only a corpo could give her (one of the few things I'll commend VS management for). Hell, you can even look outside of the vtuber industry and refer to irl events like when George Lucas outsmarted fox by surrendering box office sales for his star wars films in return for merchandising rights. Merch is and should always be your top source of income assuming you have the means to produce it. Hell, the nijigirls and boys earn a lot from SC and streamlabs but it sure as hell ain't touching a mil in less than a month, especially with the general recline of SC culture across the board.

i think they would rather you buy voicepacks still though? it costs them nothing to make up front, there is no platform fee and they get half of all the profit from it, like if you think about it it makes sense

if you spend $100 on voicepacks (digital merch) that costs nothing to make they just record it on a mic in their roorm, its pure profit, if you spend $100 physical merch that actually costs money to manufacture, $100 spent on something that costs nothing to manufacture is always more profitable than $100 spent on something that costs money to manufacture

My B. I was trying to qoute the dude you replied to. Anyway, my point is that Merch is and should always be your top source of income. And yes, when I say merch I'm also including VPs and shit. The fact that Pomu specifically pointed out SC/streamlabs as their go to source instead of VPs is just weird. I would expect that from someone working for jewcorp or Kawaii who needs to milk SCs and Subathons. Not from someone working for Nijisanji that isn't even a shitter to boot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45080904
She said streamlabs and voicepack are the same level, so it's:
Streamlabs/Voicepack: 50%
Superchats/Memberships: 35% (YT 30%, AC 35%)
Merch: <35% (The livers don't fund the merch, the company handles everything)

The amount of money they make also matters. Nobody seems to be buying enough voicepacks to turn them into millionaires, regardless of how little overhead there is. Holos can chase the stuff fans will buy. Besides, holos probably get at least half the profit from merch too.

If people were willing to drop $500 on VPs compared to merch, almost certainly, but they don't. Unique merch and special occasions does drive people to buy. The profit margins for vtuber goods are usually like 300% though, since people will pay the premium. But again, you still contend with the fact that someone who dropped $500 on your birthday goods isn't as likely to drop another $500 on your stream than if they didn't.

>>45081231
For the sake of clarity on one thing here: we don't know their profit margins, we would need to know every other expense between design, production, storage and distribution. It's 50% after everything. They don't sell 1 million in merch and put 500 thousand in their pockets. This is true for literally anything that comes up in this thread, regardless of company.
VPs are extremely profitable because production and distribution costs are probably covered in less than 200 sales.

See that's the thing that confuses me. If I'm eyeballing it, I'm pretty sure that even at her peak, pomu was making well over 15k for streamlabs alone. But that was her peak though.

That's why they first work out the design and production costs. The talent cover the necessary commisions.

This doesn't confirm anything, retard, when this has been known for years.
They get less cut because they dont fund the merch, thats why when they fund the merch, they get more. Other than that, merch has less cut but htey get it for free because the company is the one paying for it.
and if you think this shit is going to riku you have to be retarded, that pays the produciton of the merch

The percentage cut IS different for Hololive. They are allowed to fund their own merchandise and take the lion's share from it. Nijisanji does not allow you to do this. Nijisanji decides what merchandise they want to sell and that's the end of the discussion. Sure, they pay for it, but would you rather get nothing for doing nothing or get millions for spending thousands? This shit isn't complicated.

[Anonymous No.]

Here's something. If superchats are so important then why did the 2 top superchatted vtubers of Hololive when they left, go back to a corpo gig soon after? Without Covers cut, they should get significantly more money out of it. Why would they jump back to another corpo if not for more money from so other source that is more lucrative than superchats? It's like people assumed there was a non-compete clause while argues said there wasn't until we got proof of it later by other vtuber news. Their silent actions prove, at least in Hololive, superchats aren't a significant portion of their money. You could argue other stuff like membership since that isn't as cut and dry and hard to prove the actual number. Just guesses based on likes in member post from people that give time to click but most don't. Fauna as an example doesn't usually have member post likes go above 1k unless it's for something really interesting. Then you've got a poll that shows she has at least over 5k+ members that voted for it. Even your best guess without some massive leak happening later, is probably underestimating where a bulk of their money comes from because each one might have different sources they rely on more than others.

Because NijiEN isn't allowed to do that. Selen tried. A lot of people actually believe they are supporting their oshi by buying 100 acrylic stickers. They mistakenly assume that the merch situation is the same as it is in Hololive, and it comes as a rude wakeup call when they find out otherwise.

Which is why VP was always viewed as the best way to support them, but having her rank streamlabs higher is the big shocker, I expected the company cut to be more relevant there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45083971
Some members talked more in depth about monetization, you can find somewhat recent translated clips from Deron and Gundou talking about stuff and it's not much different from what Pomu said. VPs are the best cut by a wide margin, JP usually don't have streamlabs so they didn't list it but you could assume it's very close to VP margins. I would imagine people who are signed with a recording label also get a decent amount from that if the sales are good.

We don't know. They have used them in the past for ID back when Indonesia was unable to superchat. Perhaps they have a deal worked out with Youtube that allows Cover to take a larger cut, in return for not using third parties.

It makes sense though, for Nijisanji merch is generic shit that the liver often doesn't need to do anything for (except for voice packs) so their cut will naturally be low.

There IS another angle here though. Nijisanji's financial report stated that their commerce (march sales, VP sales etc.) has been down since the last quarter. Likely because of all the JP merch controversies (low quality, some of them blatantly copied from other design company works before being silently removed etc.). Which was listed as one of the major reasons that Anycolor's stock value collapsed.

So if Pomu is putting this out on public, saying how streamlabs and voice packs are the best way to support them, listing merch as the last one, and we know that merch is one of the best ways Anycolor makes money...
She might be dogwhistling about the absolute state of the company however she can, and asking her fans to support her directly instead of buying shit that is more company profit focused.

It's because they have a direct line to youtube and a decent relationship with them (makes it easier to get back channels if they get falsely struck, or to resolve shadowbans and other issues), and the income from merch is humongous compared to streamlabs (the recent Risu merch limited run gave her some 700k$, and that's just the limited run), so they'd rather not rock the boat with them for pocket change.
Anycolor doesn't have such a direct line, so they're fine with using streamlabs.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45080021
Miko is one of the top of the top, who has more paying (not including gifted) members than Gura or even Pekora, so she is not a good reflection of the average holo's merch power. She also knows how to work with Holo management, manage her projects, and make requests. She is one of the old veterans in the company and is a big face these days what with being an official tokyo ambassador who has met and 'shook' hands with the governor of Tokyo.
She even makes the other holo's title pictures on the side, she's done a few streams of it, so she is again not the average you compare against, she's an outlier that's a culmination of years of growth and effort and worry and gratitude. You won't find many like her anywhere in the global streamer sphere, let alone vtubersphere, let alone Hololive.

>Cover pays for normal merch (i.e: birthday / anniversaries).
No, same deal.
Merch is thought up by the talent, management scurry off to chinkland and organize something, goes back and forth on feasibility and price, talent has then this option:
Fork over the majority of the initial production cost and therefore gain the lion's share of profits, or, if they're a less popular holo with less money or a fresh holo with no money, cover forks out the majority cost and the holo receives a smaller fraction.
Obviously when holos become more established and flush with simpbucks they will always always choose the first option. That goes for ALL their merch except generic holo merch that isn't tied to their birthday or anniversary or some kind of gen specific celebration like how 5th gen like to release group merch.
There's very little of this generic merch though, but even with that the holos would get some small amount.
I have no idea what holos would get for their standard acrylic stands, ERROR, Summer, or 3rd fes merch, but it's all stock poses and generic art not personalized by them at all so I'd assume they get very little from it.
Stuff like Nendoroids and other figures I have no idea.
The clue is how a holo shills any given merch: they have incentive to shill on stream their bday/debut shit but you never see them shill the generic stuff I listed above. A-chan shills that shit.

IRyS (moron) said recently that she didn't even know how much her recent bday merch would be priced at until it was released for sale to all. But she's a bubbleheaded bimbo. I assume that a smarter holo that takes better stock of their finances would be able to find this shit out before public release.

[Anonymous No.]

How is this controversial? It's because Niji merch is produced by the company itself unlike holo merch where the talent designs it, so of course they take a bigger cut compared to streamlabs/superchats.
