Does cover actually make money off this, or is this like how the NBA has the WNBA which has never made money ever but exists to distract people from the fact that 90% of NBA players are woman beaters and/or rapists?

if you want a serious answer: both.

>Does cover actually make money off this
holostars returns are relatively small, but enough to offset their initial cost. you can argue the money is better spent on hiring new girls, but it's not like there's market pressure that forces Cover to minmax their profit revenue. their biggest competitor is continuously drowning in drama.

>exists to distract people from the fact that 90% of NBA players are woman beaters and/or rapists
most holostars watchers are women who would rather spend their money on makeup and fashion to look cute rather than superchat and merch, but they look far better compared to male holo fans who mostly look like nerds and balding old men. cute female fans' presence in social media alone is great PR for cover.

someone's never experienced Holostars @ AGF, actual fucking bloodbath. Stars fans are big spenders but there's less of them and Cover is increasingly finding new ways to skimp the boys out on merch opportunities. At the very least I've seen a bunch of them make their own nuis, keychains and other merch they want of the boys because Cover won't give it to them.

>> No.67264805

>>67262363
There's a reason why they got hit with no custom merch unless they achieve some numbers rule.
They don't make enough money for that.
They likely were on red for most of their existence. And now with IPO Cover likely must at least put them at break even line.

If Cover cared about money the way you wanted it to, it'd be a "lot" different. Cover is at the size and popularity to where they could easily get a lot stingier and greedier and as long as they could make talents look like they were crazy for whining since we're all fans of the brand first, talents second. I don't even watch the Stars but I know the moment that branch is forced to dissolve, Cover's practices will become exponentially greedier.

>> No.67265627

this guy nails it. hololive fans have no idea how rare a boss like Yagoo is. some of them want to him to be replaced just because they want holostars to close.
people cheer at disney buying star wars because they hate george lucas and now they regret it, if yagoo is replaced (and very likely by a money hungry CEO not unlike riku) hololive fans willl feel the same.

The talents get a bigger cut if it's their own designed merches, that is better for the talents that they design their own merches, not worse.
People also just dont refuse money randomly, Cover wouldnt cancel merches if they were selling like hot cakes like you claim. They were not selling enough merches and they decided it's not worth to make them. That's it.

>> No.67268068

I imagine it's cover (or Yago) willing to have a potential opportunity to take an audience that doesn't exist yet. In the same way that hololive had a slow start in its beginnings, but then a rising tide in popularity picked up all the girls exponentially ; even the ones that weren't performing the best. I think they expect that with the holostars at some point as well but they sure haven't gotten anything or anywhere to the same level as the girls, unfortunately for them

>> No.67268164

>>67262363
Yes, they do make money. The upkeep of a vtuber is minuscule, and the ad revenue, donations, merch and sponsorships are more than enough to keep Holostars operational. They'd be able to go on even without Hololive.

They do make money, the upkeep for a vtuber is very low and even 3 views can make some profit.
They are a opportunity cost however, not only from the money, resources, and time being better spent on Hololive in any capacity (debuts, projects, studio time), but because their existence repel gachikoi. It goes without saying male idols have all failed in Japan, with the sole exception of the Johnny's boys, which was founded by an American boyfucker, and they are facing a ruinous sandal when the fact that all their talents for the last fifty years were likely diddled by the founder.

Are you sure about that? Because most Homostars enjoyers seem to be trannies and literal homosexuals. Nijisanji's male vtubers appear to have cornered the market on women for whatever reason which has actually turned out pretty fucking badly for Nijimales kek.
