>>15775600Holostars' female EOPs are starting to go to Luxiem. Can you imagine what would happen if Shu collabs with someone in Holostars or if Selen collabs with Astel after Ollie does?
Oh, and don't forget that even if ENstars happens, they will be completely isolated from the rest of the company because Cover is fucking stupid. The current Holostars are a tight knit group as well and Shien has expressed his desire to not have the group expanding just because; it's not like there are 40 of them like Hololive. And then you factor in that ENstars would most likely not have many Japanese speakers, and that management also would stop outside collabs. Plus the fact Hololive fans aren't as open to males and they wouldn't have the covid buff the way Myth did. NijiEN will be the go-to for months when they debut, and then you have the obvious brain drain because of that, and the fact Niji auditions happen more often.
By the end of the month everyone in NijiEN, girl or boy, will have over 100k subs, and it's likely a third of them will have over 200k. You're guaranteed around 100k when being in NijiEN, whereas HoloEN couldn't guarantee even 300k to Sana after all this time. And that's with all the problems I've listed, plus how much more homogenized your content is forced to be in Holo. Ask yourself, what company would you choose if you wanted to get into vtubing?
Of course, there is a possibility that ENstars could succeed. I don't want them to fail, in all honesty. Maybe a miracle will happen. But otherwise, the only way for them to be viable is for Holo management to change the way they've done things so far, instead of leaving their talents to die. Going by their usual MO though, that's not going to happen.
