according to OP image they are gonna stream less and less in the future to focus on expanding their IP through live events and collabs apperance, you will buy a lot of merchandise and tickets but watch less streams, the more popular an holo become the more she is going to be slaved in the background for events, at this point is very clear that it's management itself demanding gura to not stream so she can spend more time on being their mascot

Frog here, and I've long accepted that that will be the case until we get HoloEU (which is nowhere in sight in near future at least). It just makes more sense to hire either Asia or NA girls at the moment (since the two regions' timezones tend to be roughly 10-12 hrs apart and allow viewers to double dip at times)
Maybe one day EU chuubas can be big enough to convince Cover that a VTuber can survive without the Asian / NA audience, but it's not that day yet; Alternatively, if Hololive / Cover's growth in NA & Asia markets starts to stagnate / slow down, but again, it's not happening anytime soon

I'm not going to speculate on why, because who fucking knows what Cover are thinking, but the time slot they ignore is both the most popular for Western streaming overall (Twitch viewership peaks at 9PM CET) and the second most popular market for Japanese media outside of Japan itself, so it's not because there's no market there.

Just because you pay the most for shit doesn't mean you are wealthy. You are being scammed, all day long. Your houses are paper and wood constructions. Your medical care and equipment is overpriced. Your medical drugs are designed and distributed to make you sicker and addicted. Metamizole is banned in the us, due to possible allergic reactions. Metamizole is also the strongest non-steroid analgetic on the market. It doesn't get you addicted.
Your pharma overlords would prefer to feed you poison while your government watches in glee ever since they legalized advertizing medical drugs. Your "wealth" is built on a prison-industrial complex that provides what is basically slave labor to the military industrial complex, which thrives off your alphabet agency starting trouble in 3rd world countries, so your military industrial complex can sell weapons to whoever needs them.

You are poor. In body and mind and most of all you are in debt. Want an education? Debt. Got injured (every nigger has a gun)? Ambulance? Hospital??? Debt. You poor fucks can't even buy any of your papermache houses.

The funkopop collections just extent outward to outer branches, for some this is Marvel capeshit, to others this is Hololive or other vtubers. Its low effort fanaticism.

I think the issue is each EU country has very different laws and they differ much more than states' laws. This makes setting up more complex infrastructure a challenge. What's more, Japan doesn't have as much experience dealing with Europe as with US (remember, Japan is effectively US' vassal state, they've been doing business together a lot over past 80 years). To be fair it's not like they deal with all US states either, it's concentrated to California, maybe two or three other states and Canada, that's it.

At least I'm glad they stated they plan to invest into Europe from 2025 onwards, even if it's criminal they haven't done it in EN1 or EN2, not to mention EN3... But yeah Cover's current plan is setting up the branch office in US to make merchandising processes etc. more effective, see how it goes, and then consider expanding to other markets.

Im a fan from the EU. I think at least part of the reason why we don't buy merch is import taxes. If you purchase anything outside the EU, you have to pay import taxes. In my country it's around 23 - 36 usd for smaller things. I like to buy clothes from japan, and have had to pay like 160 usd in import taxes once... It's just so damn expensive, so I only buy holo merch if it's something I really really like.

SCs made up the largest revenue stream for Hololive until 2023, which is notably well after the "EU totally supported more then NA before HoloEN" period. If you have a better way to quantify EU's support that has a source attached, please provide it.

Your package has to be randomly searched and the monetary value of the package has to exceed some arbitrary amount before customs put in any effort.

Where I live the limit before VAT applies is €100 after shipping fees, but it used to be €200.

It's been really hit and miss if customs end up demanding tax though, I've managed to skirt alcohol tax and VAT several times with orders above $500 but once I got caught importing a brand outfit for $110 after shipping.

All we know is Kiara said hololive didn't go to Japan Expo before because Cover wanted the con to pay for their travel expenses and they weren't willing to.

Yeah, they basically make bank with merch. Which is the dream for almost every entertainment startup. And they reached it through countess sacrifices.
This is also why a gorillion non-Holos SEETHE at some of the girls being somewhat lazy or flat-out hate cases like Gura because they have everything they will never have the opportunity to even prove they deserve (they deserve nothing by being so hateful behind-the-scenes anyways, a huge red flag)
The merch situation is why some of the "barely still aboard" Holos like Shion and maybe Gura have not dipped from COVER besides it being well known that COVER will negotiate down to their last option by allowing outright almost not streaming at all while still paying up for talents to not quit. Because the sense of overall stability is what keeps people into Hololive.
Most corpos, even Nijisanji, have this looming threat of doom over their Gens in which despite everything, even their big earners might suddenly one day just say "I'm done" and leave, for anyone willing to pay up this is a nightmare because it's like all your efforts to keep the performer still in this venue of entertainment have failed and the group dynamic loses someone forever and it gets slowly less unified which means harder to connect or relate to, which is pivotal to get people hooked into a talent or a whole gen and maybe full support for the company.
COVER somehow understood this after a series of fuck ups and now they are willing to pay extra to make sure that their talents are OK, Mumei also mentioned that otherwise she would have left already if that wasn't the case.
The whole ecosystem of support they got set-up is why investing yourself in Hololive is safer than in any other agency. Not to mention, their whole anti-yab company wide account scanning they do every once in a while since SOMEONE fucked up big time while playing GTA V and using Discord improperly.

Streaming has become a lower priority as they transition from company growth to revenue generation.

Events by far sell the most merch by attracting the biggest whales, if the livers practice singing and dancing 5 days a week and only stream once that's fine by holo.
