Quoted By:
the lack of streaming over the past few months was in fact an organized protest by the en branch to negotiate for better profit sharing (i.e. cover taking a smaller cut of supercuts/memberships) spurred by the ever growing antiwork sentiments in the west.
sana, being the bleeding heart liberal, was the most committed to the movement, going even as far as ghosting her fanbase in addition to completely abstaining from streaming.
cover was not playing ball as they knew they had the upperhand.
they knew when push comes to shove they'll just fire one of these filthy gaijins and everyone else will fall back in line.
but the worse thing happened at the worse timing.
rushia's final yabai happened.
after being forced to fire rushia, even though they showed everyone that they're willing to drop anyone, even the top earner in the company, they did also lose the top earner in the company.
fearing that any more firings would encourage the protesters to just quit en masse and form a competing group on the spot, they caved.
agreements were made.
the protests would stop.
the streams would continue.
sana would return.
cover would take a smaller cut off youtube revenues.
