>>40288286Hololive Production English management is to blame directly.
They are responsible for permissions and looking after their talents.
They have failed at that, girls have been unable to play games they have wanted to play, they have been unable to do fun stream ideas they've had, they've been unable to do collabs they wanted.
And instead of having encouragement and some care they've been belittled and demoralized. Gura has talked about this on member streams.
The fact that out of two gens only a couple of girls even stream weekly should be a no brainer red flag that something is wrong there.
They have lost the will to stream.
They failed to release Gen3 for so long the remaining girls that want to stream can't collab at all.
They have neglected the branch and failed to organize any fun event or produce anything cool for christmas and NY.
Past special events were all organized by myth themselves and now that they ran out of steam it's clear management could not pick up the slack. It's their responsibility to organize content like that, in Japan they manage to do a lot more, EN can't get shit done.
Council has taken way too long to get its new skins as well.
You can put the blame of Hololive Production English on management on Cover as a whole tho, because they should have realized there was a problem already and done something to fix it.
But they've ignored the english branch and now this is what is happening as a result.
They literally had the monopoly over the entire worldwide market when they debuted and they could not keep up that momentum.
Their big shots went from 30k to maybe 15k on a good day. Even their collabs can't go big anymore.
Meanwhile JP girls regularly get 20 and even 30k on their own and collabs can get 100k.
How the fuck do you screw up that badly that your branch actually loses people instead of having any growth?
The utter failure of Hololive Production English management.
Oh yeah and forcing the girls to collab with the guys decimated their remaining numbers was also super stupid, as well as rushing homoen gen 2 at the cost of delaying holoen gen 3 even more. They sacrificed the main branch of the company for the weak spinoff.
Hololive Production English management really deserves an award for being one of the biggest fuckups ever. They were the biggest company in their industry, practically had a monopoly, had first mover's advantage. And they managed to decay and rot while the japanese branch still achieved success and growth.
