>>29549>>30512Hiroshimoot wanted it all done for free basically, is my understanding. They could never find a VA to do her that was willing to take the same pay rate as the jannies and they sure as fuck couldn't find anyone willing to do all the modelling work.
This may be inaccurate but that's at least what everyone thought at the time considering minimal effort was made to hire anyone and it just sort of puttered out once the contest ended and actually doing the hard part started, so at a minimum Hiro fucked up hard and failed to convey there was a wage/commission involved if anyone would step up.
