>>51409560Honestly, I've experimented with some indies/small corps but I've struggled to want to stick with them. Even if I like one member, the odds of me liking most of their collab partners (of which there are almost certainly tons because that's how you rise up as an indie) are super slim because they aren't all cream of the crop talents, and they don't interact with any of my other favorite Vtubers who live in the Holo bubble. And that's beside the fact that smaller corps are prone to imploding or sudden graduations, so I'd be worried that any girl I got attached to would vanish because the money isn't good enough to live off of or the company implodes due to poor management.
The reason why I love Hololive as a brand is because it's a collection of cute, talented girls picked from hundreds of applicants who can have fun and do what they want with minimal stress due to how successful they are.
