>>38021480I honestly think that 'muh throat' is bullshit that management tells them to use as an excuse when they want to take a break or shift their schedule, because fans will accept "medical issues" at face value and it's not something serious enough to make people worried.
Twitch is full of streamers of all varieties that stream 9+ hours a day 5-7 days a week and never struggle with chronic throat problems, and many of them have been sustaining that schedule for literal years. Outside of hololive corporate vtubers tend to put in as many hours or more than hololive talents but 'muh throat' almost never appears as a reason for a hiatus or schedule change. Even within hololive, talents like Koyori stream long hours daily over long periods without issue.
Simply put, "throat hort" seems to be primarily a hololive issue and utterly disconnected from how much a given talent actually uses their voice or streams. While it's not unheard of for this lifestyle and career to contribute to chronic vocal cord fatigue, it's overwhelmingly likely that management uses it as a smokescreen to conceal changes to a talent's employment obligations as they drift away from hololive due to university, outside employment, marriage or professional burnout.
