>>77569843I would agree with you in a context the “long shot” attempt happened in isolation, far away from their main operation.
Take Brave Group: they fell for the “real male vtubers have never been tried” and debuted Yumenos.
They’re low two views, nearing one view but that’s no biggie, they can just close the branch and pretend it never existed.
It would have been a completely different manner if they, instead, debuted
>VSPO-BOYS!and tried the hardest to sell them to the existing VSPO audience, and for two reasons
1) it would risk the success of their flagship branch
2) they wouldn’t be able to just get rid of the failure without pissing a segment of the audience that believed their “VSPO ans VSPO-BOYS are the same company, support both!” pitch.
Everything you said would make sense had Cover debuted a “starsmin2000” branch away from Hololive, but not for the Holostars.
Actually, other than the name, on debut, the Holostars were treated as a separate agency and the audience was even told to not to mention them alongside Hololive.
It should have been kept that way
