>>103147080>and shareholdersThat's one of the funniest parts of this cope. Before the IP about a quarter of Cover's shares were at the hands of five, six people / groups. They held immense decision power because if any of them signalled lack of confidence Cover was done for, nobody would invest in them if the initial investors wouldn't.
After the IPO the same percentage of the company now are at the hands of some ten thousand people in retail each holding a token amount of influence. It absolutely diluted any influence the shareholders could have.

Take the homos: they were from being front and centre in the highest attended event of the year

>which was *not* the Hololive Production anniversary btw, which is in Decemberinto being kicked out of the EN side of the twitter account, memory holed in the investors report and banished from the Holo side of the countdown, the card game and pretty much any official initiative other than some token ones.
It came to a point you can pretty much forget the homos exist and the company won't even mention them as opposed to treating them as one and the same with the girls back in 2022
