>>107229209As someone that has worked at conventions and attended the afterparties, it's less-so the vtubers but the artists that are heavily interconnected. Not matter what type of "influencer" you are, artists will always be needed in some manner. Thumbnails, merch designs, stock-visual assets. Even if you can do most of this yourself or even alienate yourself from part of the market with A.I, at some point, you'll need something custom made. In turn, "styles" are vastly harder to imitate (even with A.I) than how one acts with a model. Thus people like Nano will have the luxury of getting free passes as offer something in the medium most won't.
Oh and for you kinky fucks who do hush hush commissions for niche fetish stuff. They will sometimes share your handle around with fellow artists of the same content, so they can min-max profit from you your BBW or bimbo visuals.
>>107229179I firmly believe that Mouse wouldn't have said shit if the charity money remained untouched. She knows that is something her brand couldn't recover from. Barely a week prior Zen left, and I am paraphrasing here, Mouse said she would remain rooted in Vshojo till the very end. The brand did a lot to hard carry the unity factor which is has basically been erased. Plus you KNOW Twitch would have plugged Vshojo hard during "Vtuber week" and not cash in on Hololive. It was a parasitic relationship for everyone involved.
>>107229337Confirmed in multiple Canada meet ups. Petra is basically a "girlboss" and very firm about getting shit done behind the scenes. She and Shu are basically the ones who are treating this very much as a career first, fun and friendships second.
>>107242100It cost, what, $2000 tops? Zen drops like $10,000 on one-off stream models / gimmicks. Tax-deductible donation if she has a smart enough accountant to move the numbers around. Plus it's the easiest PR in the world. No different to the Saudi's "sports-washing" to improve it's reputation amongst the clueless. If you don't know any Zen drama, this makes her a saint.
