>>29002904>I've been in the hololive thread>I've also been in the Niji threadWhich ones? There's literally dozens of them. If you're only basing these remarks on two specific threads, you're excluding all the anons that only stay in their oshi's general.
>They say that because hololive talents have the highest CCV, they are obviously the best vtubersAnon, answer me this: Why would they be accepted into Hololive if they weren't talented?
Hololive was not a big agency from its inception. It was another 2view company startup like many current ones. They were ridiculed on jap sites just like how small en corpos are often ridiculed here. They worked their ass off to get to where they are now. Nijisanji was the top dog back then, yet Hololive somehow managed to overtake them. How do you think that happened? Just luck? If it was only luck, the viewers wouldn't have stuck around. If it was just luck, many talents wouldn't be having physical/mental breakdowns due to exhaustion. If it was just luck, the Hololive model wouldn't have reshaped the industry as it has today.
There's a reason why the Hololive scouting meme was born, and that was because their (JP) member scouting was impeccable. Each generation of talents has had something to offer, covering different niches while also having a talent spearheading their growth. Some will say that the EN and ID choices may be subpar, but they all filled roles that captivated the foreign audience in one way or another, else Gura wouldn't be the biggest Vtuber in the world.
>I think that numbers are a box that prevents you from exploring other vtubers. Seriously, check out the smaller corporations, or even some indies. Don't be discouraged by their lower numbers, just enjoy it for yourself.I found my Hololive oshi when she was a 3view, <30ksub chuuba, in a company that had just debuted their 3rd gen (gamers). They were growing, yes, but slowly, they were still a small corporation trying to stand on its feet. I've been with them through the journey of growing and becoming the top corpo for the past three years, and (You) come here to tell (Me) to watch smaller corpos/chuubas? Bitch I did, and I stuck with them, and my reward is seeing them all grow into popularity, while my oshi became one of the pillars upon which Hololive is standing on.
There are anons here who have been with their oshi's for longer than I have, 4, 5, maybe 6 years sticking with them along their journey, and you come here to preach to us about noticing the smaller corpos? We will wish them luck, but if their growth or actions seem to influence negatively the oshi we've been supporting for years, you bet your ass we'll be aggressive towards them. Nobody coddled the vtubers that were first starting out, and nobody coddled their viewers who stuck with them through their hard times other than the streamers themselves. Now newer corpos and indies find a market that has been built upon the work of my oshi's, of our oshis', efforts, and yet you come begging?
No, fuck you, learn to persevere. If your oshi is good and talented, she'll eventually be noticed. Maybe not by the viewers, but the talent agencies scouting around for talents. We helped the market grow to such a size that smaller corpos and indies even had a chance to appear. Recognise that and reflect upon what the successful streamers and corporations have done to get to where they are today.
We aren't blinded by the numbers. We are the numbers. We created the numbers. And we aim to increase the numbers of the ones we support, just as we have done for the past years.
