>>83965543You'll have to come up with the numbers as accurately as possible to gauge how much money they actually lose. And again, my point is not that the homos are profitable, it's that they have a place in a market that cover doesn't want to lose. It's a gamble, but a very cheap and affordable one for them. As I said, they could very well turn a tiny bit of a profit sometimes or just stay within acceptable margins every month. It's cheap af to maintain a vtuber once you have their models in place and a contract with the talent.
>>83965927As I see it, the homos are not a safe ROI as you seem to have understood my point is. But Hololive as a whole is and that's what I meant as a safe ROI. The Homos are just a cheap side gamble to safeguard an unttaped piece of the market that could have very favorable winds if things turn out good for them. Don't forget that Hololive itself was a gamble at the start, and then they got lucky. It's not a 1:1 parallel as back then though, but now they just have to piss some money on them once in a while just to keep building rapport with the public as better as they can, even if they lose money on it.
