-Omega is likely Japanese, or someone who's worked with Cover for a long time and so holds some of their values
-More than anything, valuing stability, unity and other collectivist ideals
-Likely rejected several candidates that were more talented than the current Council, but were unabashedly gold diggers/overly ambitious to the point that it could cause problems
There was almost no chance that someone with the mindset of 'I will wring every last goddamn penny I can out of my audience and maximize every single bit of numberfaggotry I can' would ever have made it past the interviews stage, because that sort of naked ambition would've been sniffed out and rejected immediately. It also very, very, very easily leads to drama.
I mean, Yes from a pure numberfag perspective I too would love someone who would go 1000% all in on trying to maximize every metric to the point that it would make Pekora blush, but that's very much not on 'brand' for Hololive, even if Council could do with just a little bit more ambition on the making of more superchat bucks.
