>>40126814You really don't understand the point here.
Covers business is not focused on cute girls streaming. That isn't where the majority of its money comes from.
The money comes from merch, advertising, licensing, guest appearances, etc.
All of these are very Japan focused activities for Cover as Japans mediascape is very closed due to the language barrier.
They can get decent money for things like an advert for instant curry.
They can't do this with EN. The English language mediascape is simply too massive and too saturated.
Ain't no one paying Cover anything resembling good money for an advertising appearance. Guras microsecond stock image appearance in a Taco Bell ad is the best they're ever gonna get in English media.
The best that Cover could hope for is something like the Gfuel sponsorship that Snuffy had for a while, and to them that would barely be worth doing.
To put it simply cute anime girls selling you things and being media personalities/celebrities is a thing that works mainly in Japan.
And this is Covers main business model.
Now do you see why EN is not worth much to them? They can't get much more than the odd bit of merch and whatever their cut is on supas.
The reason ID has potential is its mediascape is not entirely dominated by English content. So they could possibly get advertising and TV appearances there for the ID girls.
