I initially thought Cover didn't allow their talents to say any form of dark humor but seeing the new Tempus guys have the same kind of lewd and sometimes dark jokes as Luxiem makes me think otherwise. I'm glad they didn't get him, they would have given him a terrible model. His personality would have carried it yes but he wouldn't have been much more popular than what the Tempus guys are now. If they went for more of an idol route and treated them like they do the girls (unicorn pandering, not talking to females, etc.) and got all of the Luxiem guys, gave them decent models (even if they're just basic boring ikemen designs), they'd be just as popular, maybe even more popular, than what they are now. Catalogfags/people that don't watch him will say he's only popular because of chinks and will completely forget about how well he was doing before he changed his streaming times (which is fair, it was around 2am for his old streams). Niji operates differently so that's probably why he chose them over going to Holostars, they would have restricted his creativity a lot.
If Holostars management want their boys to be popular, they have to actually put some work and care into it. It's not just about the models, Magni's design is actually cool but they made his face look like a fucking alien. They can't just rely on their personalities to do the work for them, they have to make them look appealing to the people they're trying to appeal to. If they want to make "brotubers" they shouldn't have said on the application that they intend to appeal to a female audience. Sure they'll get a decent female audience anyway because their interactions and personalities are fun to watch, but if you want them to be as big as the holo girls they're going to have to actually see what women want and not what they think women want.
