>>39638160>non-vtubers... like MumeiUh... huh. Well, I don't know what grudgeposting is, but I don't begrudge any of what you've said. It was explained clearly and was less hostile than most of the OPs on this nightmare board. I DO think your post is wrong about everything, though, so let's break it down.
First of all, I feel like what Cover should be primarily judging is not just raw talent, but also how well they fit the company. I also like one of the Jewcorp members as well as her PL, but I absolutely don't think she'd have meshed well with the HoloEN atmosphere. I can think of other corpo talents like this too, but we'll leave that thought there. Then there's someone else going on hiatus in January, who I don't wanna name till EN3 reveals concretize, who's a bit less interesting to listen to but gives off a much more "Holo" feel while still being well above the minimum talent cutoff.
Second, you've gotta consider that while (you) have to cast a huge net to find talented indies, the management just has to turn on the faucet - applications - to get a flood of it in their direction. That includes people with fairly tiny sub counts/traction/etc, who could well be both more talented AND a better fit than the more conspicuous ones, but still fall under most of our radars. To use your own example, who would have found Kronii in a vacuum? Even if you don't like her, 800k subs is 800k subs, and that relative success is what the company sees. (I'm not a /#/ kind of guy, so don't read too far into that.)
Finally, if EN3 continues to have unified per-wave theming (mythical creatures, divine aspects, adventurers' guild), then there's gonna be a certain amount of people who necessarily get filtered by kayfabe and/or typecast. Like, good luck getting Adrisaurus to debut for your last open role as a crass monter-girl or assassin when her personality is as soft as melting butter. I honestly don't like this part of recruitment, but it's working for them so who am I to backseat, really.
>TL;DRThey see things we don't. Trust, and if the talents are crap then they're crap, but I don't think they will be. The hopium is strong.
