In my grief I was angry at the zhangs, and by proxy Cover. Then I understood it was coordinated corporate warfare to promote chinese vtubers over japanese ones, and just felt sorry for the girls. Cover of course is still incompetent but I understand their stance, they had just started getting big collabs, Xbox, Red Bull, multiple Japanese brands, they are trying to clean up for investors.
It is a shame Coco will leave without completing all the ideas she had for her persona, but at the same time I feel her leaving is almost necessary to reach new creative heights. Despite her great work for the company, the company is going in a different more sterile direction it is almost fitting the rock star bows out when she does. As well I think Coco herself will creatively benefit from such a drastic sea change.
All in all don't be sad. It isn't as terrible as you think, it certainly wasn't sunshine and rainbows but when Cover had the growth they did, you had to expect corporatization to kick in.
