>>64317609this is bait but whatever, competition and the existence of vtubers outside of hololive are absolutely necessary for hololive to do as well as it is:
-competition in the form of other corpos force cover to keep doing better, without it they'd just sit on their laurels as king of a stagnant market
-competition from indies is needed because those are the ones who more often branch out and innovate the industry because there's more of them and the consequences of failure are much smaller. also, because they don't have the resources that a corpo has they're often more creative in how they achieve things which can have large knock-on effects down the line
-a healthy vtuber industry outside of hololive is required for two reasons, it grows the market that hololive can appeal to and it provides a talent pool from which hololive can draw from
you'd have to be retarded to think that hololive would survive if the entire rest of the vtubing industry collapsed
