Aviel grifted the whole vtuber corpo scene by pretending that spending a huge number on ads and giving away / promise to give away shit for free to the vtuber is viable strat. He basically tried to outspend the competitions and take them out, or let them take themselves take themselves out because the strategies were unsustainable.
However, it backfired when Israel funding stopped and he can't just sustain that level of "talent support" and the girls turned against him.
The upstart and baseline investment standard for small corpo suddenly exploded and off the roof because of a false standard set by Aviel's grift. . We don't even know the numbers were real or mostly bot.
I already knew the model was unsustainable. Small corpo only have so big of a fan base with so many potential incoming. You can't just throw out 100k+ every debut plus other long term fees and
expect.to make money back from a allegedly talent friendly cut on a small corpo scale. You can only throw out so many donothons and they will run dried due to shared fan base pool. Ah contract that talents can get out any time and keep the IP??? Absolute bullshit
