Hololive and Holostars have very little impact on each other. They literally have a company of near 400 employees, they can handle more than one group coming out at a time.
As for EN Gen 3, I think they're being a lot more cautious this time around in their selection process because, let's be honest here, Irys and Gen 2 were kind of mid level flops, and Gen 1 all have big chips on their shoulders.
Gen 2, there is absolutely nothing stand out about any of them, period. They're just your generic streamers that got the company name boost.
Gen 1, they were diverse in their hiring process, bringing in an artist, a "musician", a wannabe RL idol, and streamer, and a person who actually created content before. That said, it's clear they've all essentially checked out and are on their way out the door / in "as little effort as possible" mode.
I think Gen 3, they're going to actually pick the cream of the crop people who are dedicated to making the best for themselves AND the company. They're going to make people completely abandon their alt personas and pick people who aren't generic talents. They're going to pick people who specialize in something and make them have that as their focus for entertainment value. In other words, if they pick and artist, expect art out of them a lot more often.
