You don't know what awful management is. Every company that becomes publicly traded has a board of directors infested with people who have no fucking clue what their company even does. They make absurd demands and have no idea what they're doing.

I've been trying to figure out why Yagoo & Company would do this since they have a license to print money as-is. I have a couple of ideas, but none are appropriate to share on a public imageboard. The only thing I care about in this equation is my oshi being safe and happy.

If they go ahead with this, this can end finally killing the soul of Hololive and they didn't have that much left. Instead of horrible management but sometimes in favor of the talents you get a bunch of investors that couldn't care less about them (and have no idea of the business) and will definitely try to restrict the talent to some specific planned kind of stuff and numberfag like you have never seen before.
Expect more proportion of sponsor streams, more merch and brand collabo shilling, more shitty gachas and FOTM games (yes, more than even now) and more cash-grab concerts from talents that have even less time to stream.

Approximately 20% is held by insiders, and 40% is held by institutions that have to declare their stake publicly. This is ignoring other entities like family offices. I _seriously_ doubt there's even a double digit stake in GME (and probably the same for AMC) held by ledditors.

Public trading is the worst thing you can do as an entertainment company. A lot of it will culminate in public pressure forcing your PR decisions and investors breathing down your neck because you might end up tanking their investments.

Publicly trading your stock is only ever good if what you do has nothing to do with public opinion, like infrastrucre services not related to the entertainment sector, because those are, in general universly accepted (or at least tolerated) and normally won't have to deal with PR disasters unless they go out of their way fuck up that bad.

There's no rule against it but considering COVER had a big fucking NONONO with China, pretty sure having any stock from it will affect your social credit as a chinese citizen, heck, you might even get visited by the police as to why do you part of a company which gave its back to the country and therefore, the state, that's also implying you have the connections and money to slog through the burocratic apparatus of the country to get a good share of said stock, otherwise you are just risking your liberties in an already fairly authoritarian country for absolutely no reason whatsoever other than a memestock.

Don't know if that's true, but for some employers that can be more convenient because of workers' benefits and taxation laws. For example, in America independent sub-contractors aren't entitled to things like health insurance even if they work full time.

There are usually a selection of criteria that need to be met for someone to be a legitimate contractor and not an employee though. Contractors need a certain level of agency over how they perform their work, otherwise they're defacto employees. The girls probably count as contractors as long as they can choose how and when they stream, but I don't know how the managers could be classified as contractors given they probably report directly to upper management and are directed by them.

False take, created by Capitalist propaganda. Innovation never comes from suits in a boardroom. It comes from those obsessed with curiosity, in an environment unrestricted by fearful stockholders who only want safe money.

The incentive to invest money is to often make more money. However, throwing a pile of money at someone and demanding "innovation and creativity" doesn't guarantee you anything. Look at Marvel movies, they are the definition of "safe." Curiosity is what often leads to innovation but you can't buy curiosity. As such, innovation cannot be bought or sold.

Yeah but I can just let someone else eat the cost of development and then reap the rewards once they're implemented in products. What's the incentive for anyone to actually provide the resources required for innovation?

>>6015485
Innovation can't happen without someone providing the resources needed to innovate and if there's no possibility of generating a return then no-one will provide it. Simple as that. The fact that some investments will turn out to be duds just reinforces the fact that anyone providing money to someone creating a new product will want a return that matches the risk they're taking on by accepting the possibility they might just lose their money entirely.

Because modern society rejected the idea of ethnostates and thus has become a big prisoners game where every subgroup is looking to leech the most out of society while providing as little return as possible. Money is the carrot on a stick that provides the incentive for subgroups to provide something of value that all society can benefit from.

Because innovation requires resources, both human and otherwise, and those cost money in the modern world (for humans because they need money to keep living, and other resources because most of the time you can build the stuff you need to start making a siginificant innovation out of thin air, so at the very least you'll need raw materials)

We wiped out small pox and polio because the innovators who made the respective cures felt that money should play no part in curing the sick. 4 students received funding from their university to discover jet fuel, with no expectation of return of investment.

I'm the guy that replied to him about innovation. You're never going to convince an investor about anything with nomenclature like that. They're interested in profit maximization and capital gains. You hit them with "capitalist propaganda" they're just going to roll their eyes at you.

Fact of the matter is that investors are looking to put their money into an innovative venture they can not create for themselves. The Entrepreneur seeks capital, so they sell stock to investors. The investor is looking for a return on that investment, but in the effort of pursuing that return they can very easily stifle their investment. This is especially true where performers, art, and creativity are involved.

No. That'd just makes them richer and imply they're doing a good job. They can also dilute the stock because stocks are literally shitcoins except with market hours and unsettled funds crippling retail's ability to adapt to changing market conditions faster than well capitalized hedge funds.

Chang is smarter than you. That's why he won against Coco. He realizes that you can't change a company's corporate structure if they don't want to change, and most japanese companies are run by good old men. The only thing you can do is buy the stock/calls and hope number goes up, or try to get a mass shorting of the stock to take place in hopes of gamestopping the company's operations.

Which is why Bushiroad buyout is one of the best case scenarios - these guys absolutely know how to run a multi-media idol project (those things are a very significant part of their bottomline) , actually have a far superior merch game than whatever the hell Cover has, and likely is the buyout that's unlikely to produce a walkout cascade (I suspect FBK has already been bought by them). Yes, they will go the whole nine inches in monetizing Cover, but Cover has been repeatedly criticized for being pants on heads terribad at monetizing their audience with their awful merch game.

That's the thing though, capitalism invades literally everything. Even charities become corrupted by capitalism and end up functioning as for profit organisations, with in some cases as little as 10% of the money they earn actually going towards the causes they're working for.

Not the anon you're replying to but please consider that there are plenty of anti capitalist ideologies that aren't Marxist. Not everyone who thinks letting greedy suits run our society is a tankie

That's not how a IPO works anon.
All they are doing is listing the existing privately held shares on the market with a little bit of new shares being issued. The point of a IPO is for the initial investors to list a company at the right time to use the hype to bump up the share value. This way the initial share holders can sell off a small portion of their shares to recoup their investment costs while being left with the majority of the now more valuable shares in their portfolio. Usually with new shares being issued as B shares and don't give the new holder any voting rights as opposed to the original A share holders who actually still control a majority stake in the company.
