She's a millionaire and doesn't have to pretend to care about chumbuddies anymore. If she's smart with her money and invests/saves she can make it last for her entire life, plus with all the revenue coming in from merch she can truly just sit back and relax.

The advent overlaps was enforced by management to get people to focus their attention on EN. It's funny how people think they were her own doing as if she cares that a new gen may outshine her. The rest of her streams this year had some sort of financial gain tied into it or were events. She hasn't done a non-forced stream in a year.

There were some pretty clear setbacks at the start of the second half of last year that probably completely killed her motivation. rust season 2 finale was a shitshow with mori being a awful sport and ame being a bitch and that was quickly followed by several of guras own stream ideas imploding. then her computer died and that was pretty much it, ever since then it's been pure ghosting and not giving a shit.

Real answer is the fact that she became strangely distant as soon as HoloFest 2022 ended. Makes me wonder if she had contract/compensation dispute over merch from that event that didn't go her way

Honestly Gura isn't so fantastically rich that she can just retire early unless she sticks to a tight budget. She's made probably max ~$7-8 million net income on Hololive and you have to account for taxes being at least 37% since she's a single woman with no tax breaks and a high income
(federal tax only, don't want to doxxfag enough to try and figure out what state she lived in during different years). She also bought a house with part of that money. Her best case scenario is having some $3 million squirreled away and that can be put into safe investments to give her the passive income needed to retire but I doubt she actually saved that much unless she's so utterly boring that she doesn't have any expenses besides food and vidya.
If I were her I'd work another couple years just to be able to comfortable live off of a diversified portfolio.

I know I'm overstating it just to paint the best case scenario but I think $1mln is too low as well. We know she got $2.6 million (in revenue share? not sure if that's her whole compensation because I haven't bothered to figure out how Cover pays its talents) for one year. I'm sure she could've saved at least $2 million over the 3 years. $1 million is probably the more realistic assessment but I'm specifically playing devil's advocate for the sake of pulling numbers out of my ass based on one data point.

Tax code. Single= not married. If you factor the pregnancy rrat in then yeah, she gets a child tax credit for the baby.

1 million is probably enough to retire on if you have a house paid off. Maybe not luxuriously, but also not too much penny pinching. 5% is 50k and close to annual household income which is typically two earners.

>> No.61169428 [DELETED] 

>>61169072
That 5% is pretty difficult to achieve for real though. 10% average stock market growth is more of a meme that investment bankers try to sell you and inflation is a bitch. We used to run an official average inflation of 2.5%/ year but we're at 5-7% now and only fools think that Biden is telling the truth that it's "transitory". Plus inflation is always compounded so Gura's investments would shrink in purchasing power over time. In the 90s you could buy a McMansion on $50k/y, now that's average income in the US. what would $50k buy you in 50 years?

It all started duing the myth off collab. Last year some anon compiled a graph of all Gura's collab streams and they took a massive nose dive after myth had their off collab. Gura kept streaming afterwards for a while, but it started progressivly becoming more intermittent after this point.
Like the other anon here said, the real nail in the coffin was the rust arc. She was already one foot out the door at that point, but rust was the final straw really. Now she's essentially just tapped out entirely. Hololive still has vested interest in keeping her due to her being good for the brand, and she doesn't really have any reason to leave so long as cover doesn't pester her. So now we're just in this limbo state where gura is gone. Frankly, i don't see her ever returning to how things used to be.

My guess is depression and lack of purpose.
You get used to money and fame REAL quick and it does nothing for you anymore. Ultimately people need love and purpose IRL to be fulfilled. It's possible she feels that her stream goes into the way of her IRL life, because stalkers and psychos are on her "dick" 24/7 and she might feel that tension on her at all times.

Even rich and beautiful people kill themselves. That goes to show that it does not guarantee happiness. Either way, I am sure she will become a little bit more active again in the future to boost her views and don't disappear fully. And she will ALWAYs be popular even if she took off year(s)...
