>>52893880I don't watch idol and I was mostly baiting for a response. The thing is, Idol doesn't have a proper office in NA, which is why they had so little presence. I would imagine buying sponsorship was pocket change for them. Meanwhile for Phase, which is already stingy with money, and despite huge investment, it had no effect. Like seriously, who gives a shit about how much space phase occupied at this con? I watched several vtubers who visited it and either phase was barely mentioned or wasn't mentioned at all. Infact, it was mentioned about as much as Idol.
