Hire unknown people with little experience. How entertaining they are is obviously going to be the main factor in the hiring process, but the other one should be how good they are. As in, if they’re good-hearted people with a moral backbone.
Focus on encouraging unity and good relations between the members.
After two EN gens, make an experimental EU gen, with each member from a different EU country and streaming primarily in their native language, trying to garner viewers specifically from their country. Have collabs and such in English.
The point is EU has like double the population of the US, and yet I’m pretty sure they still have fewer vtuber fans, and probably weaboos in general. But I believe this could be changed, or at least that number can still be increased in a significant way.
Oh, and I’m not sure how do the actual vtuber companies operate and how do their contracts look, but I’m sure you could skew things in your favour with some research. For example, maybe you could apply for some EU tech grants for stuff like a studio? Or maybe you could get some grants from ministries of culture for the mixed language gen if they also did some tourism promotions for example? Or perhaps there are some EU grants for soft power projection or for small businesses or foursome other bullshit that you could apply for, who knows, always possible.
And also some countries could make for better or worse headquarters. I know Bulgaria only 10% income tax, or Ireland has been a preferred location for international companies in the last decade. I’m sure you could play the system a bit if you properly looked into it.
