>>23902316Sure, Ayame can get by on seniority (plus, even with her constant breaks, as long as she rakes it in on her rare return streams, she brings in more money for Cover than it costs to keep her on, so they won't fire her - and it would be PR headaches anyway). Whether Sana has a leave allowance in her contract, I doubt it. The fact that you can catch her retweeting chink gacha art on her rm account all day, when she's supposedly "too busy" to even tweet on her Holo account, simply tells me she rather just doesn't care (and Cover also doesn't care enough to enforce any anti-truancy rules. As long as you don't pull a Rushia career ending yab, you can be as lazy as you want and they'll just let you coast)
The problem is though, that yeah the more you're allowing this lazy attitude to fester and show you're just a paper tiger when it comes to enforcing minimum streaming requirements, you'll only attract more of the kind of grifter moocher people who see people getting away with it and think they can get away with it too. Hololive with its brand buff is rightly seen as the golden ticket in western female vtubing, and the prospect of "hehe, so I can get a five figure monthly income, and I don't even have to stream all that much and can basically take breaks whenever I want and no one can do anything about it? Sweet, sign me up!" is attracting dishonest applicants like flies to shit.
Sure, you can try to filter a lot of it out, by carefully vetting applicants' previous history, for example how committed and motivated to streaming/content-creation they were previously, but even then people can change once they're getting a taste of the easy life and lose their motivation. So you end up with future gens becoming more and more slackers (this attitude is also a social cancer, as in hardworking people see coasters get by with no effort, and in turn decide to also work less because no one cares), and Hololive itself grows stagnant and loses much of the premier feel and brand buff that made it so big and enticing in the first place.
Another way to prevent or at least punish truancy would be to institute an revenue-sharing incentive scheme based on workrate. For example, if you stream below a certain quota, your share of money received from superchats etc goes from 50% to 20% or lower. So you at least feel the hit monetarily and are motivated to put in more effort. Of course, this will likely never happen, as the girls would throw a bitch fit and it would cause more personal drama and stress (for example, boring shit streams just to fill the quota) than it is worth, so Cover doesn't want to rock the boat too much
