And we don't know how good the pay is. We assume these girls are making moneeeeeeey, but the reality is that beyond the cuts, many of them have to finance their own projects. I don't remember if it was Polka or Botan, but one of them talked about having to take a (0% interest) loan from Cover to finance a song. If you have to take a loan (even a 0% interest one), you're not that rich.
So maybe at the end of the day, when you throw in the Youtube cut, the Cover cut, the money you need to spend on projects, the money you need to spend on commissioning artists, the extra hours you need to put in for organizing the people you commissioned, the project you're part of, the collabs you'll be appearing it, the rest of the behind-the-scene paperwork, the extra hours of dance practice, the extra hours of singing practice, the extra hours for cons and Holofes...maybe being a housewife or a Middle Manager with a 9-to-5 is a better deal.
It's cute calling Aqua dumb, but she's not as retarded as people keyfabe. The woman looked at her position, looked at her options and made a decision.
