>>96291710Only big companies like holo or niji ever made any sense in the space and as we've seen between the rise and fall of the small corpo age, that model is simply impossible to replicate on a small scale, with relatively low budget and even less professionalism from all parties involved. Back to the extremes of megacorps or indies, with hybrids like Vdere, Glitchsharts and Vshojo as a compromise but way closer to indies than real corpos.
I welcome this change if nothing else for the fact that now people who have no business having a platform or a good model (they cost like 4k usd now, good luck) will NEVER have them unless they work for it. No more free models and free audiences, unless they know someone. Indie is 100% twitch clique meta now, the age of agencies taking a chance on 20something yo literal whos streaming to 2 people from their basement with an usb mic is over.
