>>56702164>Most hololive members are incredibly boring>the point is that the same applies everywherePretty much. These companies know boring is good enough when paired with a cute/cool 2D avatar. It's a corporate strategy; you go for the aspiring but less-than-stellar entertainers because they're the easiest to hold onto. They saw little success in their past lives, and know you can promise them anything between the moon and a steady, livable income. They're unlikely to risk going for greener pastures even if things get a little hairy because they know they have no real prospects on their own.
The holos were almost all 2views and/or one-hit-wonders when they were scouted/accepted. They're nothing special as far as talent goes, though many have obviously improved over the years. Same goes for most of the nijis, even the ones seen as the good ones. Even in small corpos, the company brand matters a lot in terms of vtuber success. Without these companies, few to none of the holos, nijis etc. would be the giants they are now. When they leave, they shrink drastically.
These companies never aim for the truly highly talented. Such people are simply too specialized in their fields of interests and too career-driven to stick around for long. A brilliant musician would get fucked over in terms of rights to his compositions, and a Live2D (or even a 3D model, really) avatar can't properly show off their abilities with instruments. A great actor would grow to resent the lack of on-screen mobility. All of them would likely want the prestige of their own names attached to their achievements, in the end. Vtubing simply has no appeal to them.
