>>102666807But aren't people saying to no end how streaming is among the easiest jobs in the world?
Because that's probably true, and irrelevant at the same time.
It turns out running a successful single-man business, nearly every creator and vtuber, is tough as nails regardless of how easy streaming may be.
So what happens when you give your ""employees"" nearly all of the open-ended burdens from internet sole-proprietorship, like being ultimately responsible for your own growth and organizing things on your end, without the upsides expected from shouldering them?
Actual workers at least have a minimum of labor protections and a tangibly defined area of responsibilities to follow, not this weird clusterfuck that defines company-chained freelancers.
If corporate vtubers were more like genuine employees, being more tightly ordered and directed, given a specific set of tasks to complete, and paid a real base salary, that would actually be vastly more preferable to what we have now.
Only one company still gets away with this, since they've already amassed and gatekept a sizeable audience to conditionally lend to their contract signers. Yet now it appears even those large paychecks weren't enough, when talents began realizing they can engage with said "gatekept" audience on their own terms.
Who knows which one of the later two gens will be the first to leave?
