>>39534567That reminds me of an anedcote that Gura said little before she started to tune out (so, on the run to Council debut).
The big thing that Gura did for numbers besides karaoke was pushing for new games, even if they are indie games that she only plays for a couple of streams, it kept her content fresh. As a response, management talked to Council, IN FRONT OF HER, "don't be like Gura and push for so many permissions, is too much of a job for us".
Motherfucker your fucking job is to get permissions. That was a 100% passive-aggresive power move to show Gura that even if she's on top, she has to play ball.
After that, she started to give less and less of a shit because why bother. She's #1 after the Kizuna Ai mess and there's no point to push against management, that can and will fuck over a talent to show dominance. No wonder Vesper told them to fuck themselves, even if just blowing up was a poor move on hindsight.
On the rest of Myth, if I had to bet on a first graduation, my bet was always Ina, for the same reasons that Sana left: Having to pick between Hololive and her job, specially with the tension of having to work for Social Credit gacha companies as a Hololive talent.
Mori, despite everything, negotiated with Cover: She gives them albums (specially an album in a year after debut, which had almost all of the talent admitting that they couldn't do that) and puts her dues and, in exchange, she can clout chase on Twitch on her alt account all she wants.
Kiara puts all her chips on Hololive so she's not leaving period.
Ame is the same cycle over and over. Push hard, burn out, break, repeat. Though she's my less favorite Holo, I get bored watching FPS streams, so not sure how accurate is that.
