>>10290619Omega is the "producer" (read: middle-aged dude in middle management reporting back to the main office) of the EN branch, and in his interview in grape Japan, he said:
>"COVER Corp., Ltd. has been implementing a strategy to reach out to potential customers overseas by localizing hololive content (making it available in local languages), and we are doing the same for English-speaking countries. Since YouTube now has a total subscriber "population" of about 2 billion users as of November 2020, we believe that one of our main tasks, namely subtitling archived videos, is very important as a means of acquiring overseas fans.>"However, from a long-term perspective, this alone will limit the spread of our content and gradually weaken its influence. I was in charge of localization right after I joined the company, and in order to solve this problem, one day I suggested to President Tanigo that we should localize the entire hololive content itself. This is what led to the establishment of the current hololive English."So, not only can we blame Omega for the Gen 2 lorefriendotry, we can also blame him for the garbage EN subs in the hololive Anime videos.
