>>27132570I do think a lot is taken out, don't get me wrong, but I don't think this infographic was made by someone that understands how the splits work.
$100 superchat
-30% ($30) for YouTube's cut
=$70
YouTube takes their cut before giving it to Hololive (Company). After Hololive receives the funds from YouTube, Hololive takes their cut based on a contractually agreed-upon percentage, and then gives it to Mori. The portion remaining AFTER the hololive cut would be taxable for the individual, as that's all that was paid to Mori.
So YT takes 30% of $100
Then Hololive takes an unknown % of $70
The US Government will expect a certain % of the remainder of THAT amount
The JP Government will expect a certain % of that same amount
This graphic would suggest that the percentage Hololive cuts is 50%, which feels to me as most definitely incorrect, but just like the person that made the graphic would need evidence to suggest they take 50%, I would need evidence to suggest they don't.
It's incredibly improbable to me that Hololive would even think of offering a 50/50 split. Most companies do 90/10 in the talent's favor, 80 at the most feels like highway robbery, but I could imagine Hololive could get away with that based on the actual benefits they provide to their partners (as opposed to other MCNs which do fuckall for anybody, Hololive actually does a lot).
Certainly not 50/50. I won't buy that even for a second.
US Taxes are also not witheld from YouTube Revenue Sharing, not sure about JP but companies like this give out a 1099-MISC and you pay what you owe when it's time to file. Technically Mori should have access to the US portion because of that, and as long as she doesn't blow it all and keeps enough to pay taxes come tax time, she wouldn't be in a pinch.
