I'm convinced 100% that this stems from the China pandering lately, I'm assuming they probably wanted some exclusivity deal to have the talents stream part-time on Bilibili like how Sora was tethered to niconico. Management likely twisted Aqua's arm to try to get her to do that and a bunch more projects because she was THE #1 talent over in China back during the early days, but she didn't want to do it after everything that happened with Coco. I'm going to dismiss the the Holostars / Hololive merge fearmongering because Cover is greedy, but not stupid. The fact that they're letting her state her reasoning for quitting is rather strange, however, because it's going to put Yagoo and co. under a fucking spotlight.
