>>100938068>If you think Cover's 3D or concerts are anything special compared to what others in the industry are now capable of, you're an idiot.They are. There's a reason why they can charge $250 for online tickets and sell out entire venues of 20000+ people every year. The show they put on has always been superior to their competition and no indie, not even Ui, has been able to come close to them in budget, scale, or production. The talent aren't the only things that go into a concert. Maybe you're too stupid to appreciate all the other work that has to be done, but concerts like oshispark have shit stages, amateur effects, and are overall mediocre in quality. You're a literal clown if you thought doki and mint's "concert" looked like anything other than something strung together by high school students.
>If you're honestly dumb enough to think this means Gura will "never move again", as per your analogyYou are confusing analogy with metaphor. I was not literally saying that she will never create anything again, just that her opportunity and ability will be limited going forward, which is true. If it were so easy for an indie to do what corpos like holo do, then they'd all be doing it. Q.E.D.
>Just look at all the partnerships, tournaments, sponsorships, collabs and other major events the yellow one apparently does with big names and corporationsAre you talking about doki? She occasionally receives favors from developers or publishers. Like getting free game codes. That isn't a collab. Those aren't sponsorships. Saba shilling MeUndies or Factor is not really something I want to see and I hope she doesn't. Holos mostly don't do sponsorships like that that are unrelated to their content with the occasional exception of things like Huel. Doki on the other hand is just like any other twitch thot streamer shilling trash like Casper mattresses. That isn't something to aspire to.
>that doesn't mean I have to delude myself and pretend everything good about her came from the corpoI never said that. In fact, I said the opposite. Cover is what allowed Gura to shine and soar and accomplish what she couldn't do alone. If they had given wings to a rock, it never would have flown like she did, but at the same time, Gura never would have reached the heights she did without their assistance.
>Cover are literally the ONLY people ON THE PLANET who are capable of filtering out shittersYes. Apparently they are. Have you even seen what kind of trash is rampant not only in the indie scene, but every single other corpo? Cover's greatest strength is its recruitment and admissions process. There have been a few mistakes, but there's a reason why 9 of the top 10 watched female streamers are all from hololive. And after all, they found us Gura, right?
>She'll never land a big deal or event again because... uhhhhh...... just because okay!Please find me a single indie vtuber that has ever had a multimillion dollar international sushi restaurant collab, hosted a dodger's game, been an ambassador to Tokyo, appeared in a Taco Bell commercial, was sponsored by a city's government to promote their aquarium, and many other things. There are none. Not even most corpo vtubers achieve those things. Cover are the ones that arranged those deals for her. She didn't get those opportunities by herself. It's incredibly unrealistic to assume she will ever get to do those things ever again as an indie.
