>>28628374>I will let you in on something you retard. Do you know why cover is against le epic "dox"? It's not to protect them. It's because they don't want their talents to abuse their hololive status to grow their alts.It's not even just a Cover thing, basically any corporation looks down on / has clauses against an employee actively trying to siphon away customers from the corporation to their own little side business.
Though in Covers case, the rules are basically only "don't explicitely mention your roommate on your Hololive account / don't mention your Hololive account on your roommate's", and anything that doesn't cross that professional line seems to be okay (barring edge cases like you do something so illegal or otherwise really reputation-damaging on your roommate that the spillover to your Hololive account can't be contained, there'll be consequences). They certainly don't require you to cease roommate activity altogether, even the ones that you make money from (so arguably where the talent explicitely benefits from the unspoken boost of Hololive fan crossover). Mori can continue her own personal music career, Ina can continue to be a top illustrator, Noel can continue to be a titty asmrtist, and so on.
So Kiara is even far from the the "worst" in this regard, because while sure she still has an active public roommate, but she actually does very little to really monetize herself and really doubledip her fanbase (as opposed to other Holos who probably even make more money from their "side-jobs" than from Holo). Very few streams (ie. superchat-collecting opportunities), no real merch, no music to sell, not much else really to buy from her. Her roommate vlog channel probably gets just a paltry google-ads income, and if she still has her donation sites like kofi up, that's also maybe just a few hundos per month from the most hardcore fans.
As for why Cover still allows ongoing roommate activity in the first place (within reasons as above), it's mostly just a byproduct of the level of talent they're aiming for. If you want professional people with a track record to hire, surprise they're gonna have existing activities, and most would still want to continue them (especially when they're passionate about it, already make lots of money from it, and/or it's an avenue for things they can't do in their Hololive persona). A hard "no roommate activity allowed, ever!-policy would just shoot Cover in the foot, as it would lessen the quality of their potential applicant pool significantly (basically only amateur rando's with no prior experience and no professional track record would be willing and able to apply), it would make the talents unhappy because it would take an escape valve away from them, and you'd potentially risk angering fans if this gets made into an issue of "le big bad evil corporation overly controlling muh poor widdle girl", so it's better for them to just not bother with it (within reason)
