>>3674729because trade is the most basic principle of fucking Economics and applies to VTuber Streams in an astounding level.
The suits are idiots about this and try to keep the newer Gens mostly contained in holo because, bluntly, they can't really stop it if it wants to happen.
Toko and Suisei / Shiina and Okayu go back way too long for them to stop that now for instance. They create cross-influx of viewership and subs which counteracts the bullshit team mentality a lot. The virtual world as defined by Pioneer Kizuna Ai is a space to connect to others, not just humans but also digital entities (streamers).
It hurts my heart to see the suits actually counteracting this trend recently. When was the last Tamaki collab for instance? Norio helped the holos a lot when their channels got demonitized randomly, Rushia and Subaru went on call for her Birthday, tons of holos congratulated her on her Wedding. Norio has her own VTubing company now and Warabe for instance gets frequent visits from Nene in chat, now THAT's a collab I want to see. Numbers-wise Warabe is one of the rising stars of Noripro, also has her own introduction show with VTubers from all over the place and Roberu already featured. Holostars seems to be fair game to just collab around.
Like, I fear the suits think exactly like you lately and I hate it. The only cross-over for Pikamee and hololive in general so far has been AmongUs, and usually JPs.
