>>102796212Kind of, Vei isn't exactly a beacon of honesty and she absolutely was exaggerating the "hololive obsession" to humiliate Gunrun even harder.
However the talent freedom thing being a not-so-subtle dig at Hololive has always been fucking obvious, I mean everything about them and their poaching has always only had the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability.
And then, the idea that corps run paid shills on this board and pay off far-left journalists to glaze them is only slightly below that in plausibility. I mean you get shit like pic related with Niji. We know half the fucking corpo vtubers actively lurk this board (especially Niji organs) from browser leaks alone; and we know their management likely does the same to catch doxx and yabs early so the talent can prepare. So if everyone and their mom lurks this board then why the fuck wouldn't they also shill their employer or damage control?
