>>10577010It's true for Council, don't think it was - as - true for Myth. Baelz literally had management crawl all the way up her ass several times on-stream for basically no discernable reason.
>>10576977>Yeah if they would've lightened up it might've been able to maintain it's soul a little betterAgreed.
>>10577143>Did they forget that the whole reason Hololive got popular is BECAUSE it wasn't as draconian as your average idol agency? Or maybe they feel like they've built up enough of the particularly brainless fans who treat the vtubers as toys instead of people. That they've gotten comfortable and they think they can afford to do it because the brainless fans won't notice.Happens with far too many creative companies, sadly. It's why past a certain point they go from making, and I hate that word, IPs to buying them. Because management kills everything through a slow process of micro-management and subsequent calcification.
Nintendo are not the saints their rabid fans make them out to be, but they understand that you cannot have too harsh a dissociation between management and creators.
Their last CEO for example started out as the guy that wizzed the file sizes of the original Pokemon games to the point they could fit entire new regions onto the cartridges.
