With the collapse of all top tier corpos except for Hololive, literally what is the industry going to do? I know people on this board have a hate boner for corposperging but the reality is that the existence of corpo is a necessary evil to bring in outside investment. Without it, we'd be going right back to vtubers streaming randomly on twitch hoping to fall in line with the streamer clique ala Ironmouse. Excorpos would never be in the position they are to have a career that they can live off. Small corpos need to invest astronomical amounts of money for the slight hope of being profitable and most never are. The industry and (You)r oshi cannot sustain itself from groomers in their basements opening their wallets continually.
