>>4544952not gonna agree with a fake point, but I wanna use it to bring up a certain discussion
Hololive is honestly pretty nightmarish as an idea if you look from an artist perspective
comparing to a record label - a label can own your music, your time to an extent (yearly contracts), your merchandise
but with Hololive, they literally own your entire identity - not only the products of your mind/creativity, but also your appearance, your social media, even shit like relationships with other talents - you're a character that can be controlled and then abandoned at a whim, and you can be left with very little if your own work is either hard to find or was scrubbed as part of the contract
either you explode, make major bank that you very carefully invest and set yourself up like that, or you can end up putting major time into a project that barely paid out while not owning -anything- relevant to it, not even your fanbase
