>>4384593>Going back to >>4378200, cover trying to nip growth in the bud is supported by more than justThat's a dumb as fuck theory that hinges entirely on the following premise
>Cover is a very (maliciously) competent company that control the fate of every talent with iron hands and perfect foresignCover more than proved that they lucked out on being a "talent agency" from their "tech company with Sora as a proof of concept demo" beginnings. FOR FUCK SAKE, Matsuri didn't even know she was an "employee" until she got the first paycheck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW6XGUr0-WwShe genuinely thought she would have to PAY to stream using Hololive software. That's how organic and disorganized Cover started when they started Gen 1.
They didn't have a clue then other than "let the girls do their thing" and they don't have a clue now, that's their biggest handicap but also the reason for their success. For instance, Fubuki single handedly created the powerhouse that "Hololive Gamers" is out of arcade buddies and old friends, Cover whole input (other than providing the tech) was giving an OK.
Trying to attribute a "master plan" to Cover when they clearly are "playing by ear" is the dumbest rrat this board ever connocted, even dumber than "Ollie got fingered on stream". Please refrain from doing that.
About Haachama and HoloEN: anyone that ever dealt with Japanese corps foreign ventures know exactly how their playbook goes:
>a foreign subsidiary is established (official or in structure only)>the head of this branch is handpicked and has ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY over the branch, answerign only to the head of the Japanese branchThat's how Nintendo of America goes, that's how Sony Corporation of America, and that's how Hololive China used to be run too, to the extreme point of their head putting out statements contradicting the official direction of the company (like bowing to the chinks or telling the talent they would be able to keep their models and names), which ultimately costed the whole branch existence.
Hololive English branch has their own management and likely someone that respond to the board (and Tanigo) and to him alone. They have their own strategy, their own manner to manage their talent
>that's clear, considering how tight they keep those girls in a leash, and correctly so based on how shitty the whole ENVtuber field isand unlikely the HQ, they actually provide a guideline on branding and "dos and don'ts" for the talent under them.
Comes Haachama
>I want to be HoloENI can clearly see a high level meeting between HoloEN top brass and Cover top brass
>JP: Haachama speaks english and want to tag along. Wanna take her over?>EN: Sure. She'll have to stream on a set pre arranged schedule, tone down the lewd and dedicate more time to learn proper english so she can actually collab with the rest of the branch>JP: HAHA, no, that's not how Haachama rolls.>EN: Then no thanks! Please tell her to stop using the HoloEN tag, she's polluting it with streams that are not actually HoloEN streams.There, a much more believable theory that doesn't hinge on Cover being an ultra competent ultra malicious ultra well run unjapanese company.
