None of these are opinions, just unpopular truths.
-Hololive as it exists right now is objectively good for vtubing as an industry.
-Most of holo and niji talents are well above average streamers, and better than a most indies. Most big indies, however, are better than most corporate vtubers.
-Hololive management is easily the worst in the whole corporate vtubing scene, its so comically bad that talents need to have separate channels to fix things becaues bringing them up to their handlers will make them worse or unfixable, but you cant say this post-July 2021 at risk of being called chinese by redditor clipwatchers.
-Coco and Artia were thrown under the bus so hololive could pull out of bilibili, the outcome both cover and bilibili wanted. While both saw the bigger picture, only Artia was autistic enough to be personally offended and throw a fit.
-Ichikara initially softblocked the EN hololive collab because the only collab they had lined up was Pomu-Kiara, and Kiara had the lowest numbers in EN, they were holding for a Finana-Gura collab or something like that. Cover had similar thoughts. The issues are now completely different, but they wouldnt have had any issues at all if they had collabed in the first 4 months or so even if it wasnt an SSS+ collab numbers wise.
-Cover has a strict no workplace relationship policy. Noel and Flare were told to either break up or keep it down. Korone and Okayu casually talk about their relationship on stream. This only happens because Korone pulls 20k a stream, she's basically unfireable unless she does something actually harmful to the company, like Rushia.
These are just rrats that are likely to be true
-NijiEN are encouraged by staff to be lewd, it brings in more clippers.
-Pekora joined hololive literally just to spite Miko, everything about her character that wasnt chosen by cover was a shitpost (her age being 111 for example). She ended up unironically liking vtubing and now she's just Pekora.
-Finana is a 26 year old virgin womanchild but she's embarrased about it so she pretends to be lewd and crass on stream (what she imagines "people who have lots of sex" would be like)
-Doki began streaming way back when to basically no viewers and doesnt particularly like the current wave of vtubers. If she had to stream next to (for example) Petra, a self-described normie that only started liking vtubers when they got popular, it would feel fake to her, but she'd appreciate the effort.
-Watame is from bumfuck Chuubu where she had no friends. Now she's in Tokyo, where she also has no friends. She zatsudans until 6am five times a week because that's the only social interaction in her life despite being a pretty extroverted and normal girl according to everyone in hololive. She's not Miko, she actually wants to talk to people and have friends.
-Rosemi-sama's infamous controversial freestyle rap had one additional verse but management forced her to leave it out of the stream.
