>>31253382>Is upd8 the worst manager company of the century?Even if the scale is smaller, it's hard to beat Cyberlive "Rich CEO with create a company (yunity) with his underage girlfriend as only manager only for her to not do any work ever". Drown in drama before it even starts and even threaten his pre-debut talents to have to pay for the initial costs of preparation if they wanna bail out or he will sue. Then rebrand as cyberlive but keep the unused models making the rebranding itself pointless, giving golden contracts to attract talents but still don't actually have any staff/manager at all.
Eventually have to officially "fire" your underaged girlfriend because she never did anything at all and you biggest earner had to both work as vtuber and manager from a lack of better option, all the while fans paid for a lot of merch that your underaged manager never actually started to get ready at all despite saying the opposite :

To end it all, instead of paying back all the merch money to fans because that merch never existed, you close the company and disappear forever. People then realize no company is registered in California under "Cyberlive" despite them saying they're in San Francisco, no copyright notice with the company name on the website or in promotional materials, unlike all other small corpos, and thus no trace of anyone left.
