>>47172243What likely happened is that in 2021 Hana Flores, one of Gen 1 quit and then several months later Gen 2 debuted but the company almost immediately had a crisis as their primary manager, K-chan, decided she was not being paid enough to manage two generations since Koshita was unwilling to hire more managers leading to K-chan quitting, the company almost collapsed at this point with mass graduations but "somehow" the girls were convinced to stay. Most likely their contracts were amended to allow them to keep a larger share of the profits. Gen 1 and Gen 2 are mostly slow growth, part-timers who stream when they 'have a chance' before going back to their real job. After this, the company became the Nene and Lua show, since they were the primary ones who streamed regularly with ASMR as a draw.
Gen 3 debuts and is full of 3 zoomers who make this their primary 'job' since they're in college and two cakes/hags who also use this as their primary role. The cakes (Aletta and Oceane) immediately began gaining lots of popularity with Oceane becoming so important that Cloudtomos (Nene's fans) were seething that she might no longer be number one. Anyway Oceane might actually be bipolar, but her actions were not considered a problem by the company until Nene also began getting harassed, most likely because Nene is in Japan rather than overseas and can easily sue Koshita for treating her badly. Sava, Aletta and Peony were all getting attacked for months- Oceane seems to have heavily targeted girls who were into ASMR (saw them as a threat to her own ASMR schtick) or had good numbers (Aletta was poised to surpass her).
Anyway Gen 3 was giving 50% of their earnings to the company, for 'reinvestment' into the company, but likely found out Gen 1/2 do not give nearly such a high cut to the company and were told the Kickstarter for 3D was not happening at a good time for them (possibly a planned Gen 4 would be splitting the earnings from that?). Aletta and Sava were angry about their cut, Peony was angry about being harassed and being told to stream at what is an inconvenient time for her, because the company thought she'd get more followers then, Miryu was angry about her request for her model to be changed being ignored and all of them felt the company could copy the JIDF strategy of digital promotion and achieve larger growth. All of this falls on the backdrop of Gen 3 being full timers while most of gen 1/gen 2 keep a larger share of their earnings while streaming fewer hours.
The company could not resolve their issues.
