>>48722783>if that would directly compete with Cover?Because it doesn't compete with Cover, Mike has no affiliation with any group. I said that already. Hololive is a vtuber group, they compete with vtuber groups, not literally all vtubers.
>according to Nazuna, she actually had an option to debut on either Twitch or YouTubeThe simplest answer is that comment Nazuna made was wrong. Perhaps she didn't completely understand her contract with Cover (we can both agree that she is not a legal scholar), she had Vshojo's lawyer look it over, he explained that she can only use Twitch, and she misunderstood the reasons why and reported incorrect information to her chat once. We know she at least gave wrong info to Kson, as she relayed an incorrect reason for why Nazuna is Twitch-only very early on. She later clarified that she was wrong and the reason is more complicated. The CEO later clarified even more.
Alternatively, she is not wrong, her non-compete is written in a way that restricts her to livestreaming only a single platform for some reason, so she did indeed have to choose only one, and she picked the one everyone else in Vshojo uses. This seems a bit less likely to me than the first explanation, but it's possible. Perhaps it's a restriction intended to prevent streaming special events on other platforms, like how Hololive has paid concerts on SPWN and such.
>but all you need to know about them is that they were trying to push her into abandoning her gachikoi, so in that sense, they haveThis is a literal schizo conspiracy theory that her fans made up because 4chan's /vsj/ thread thinks they are creepy weirdos. Vshojo doesn't give a shit about who is in her audience as long as they're buying merch.
>your copeCover having a non-compete agreement with regards to debuting under other vtuber groups is not "cope", it's a completely reasonable assumption. They previously had poached a vtuber from a rival group in the past, it's not a stretch to say that they wrote their contracts fearing that may happen to them some day. It's unironically basic business shit. It makes sense for them to do that. In what world do you honestly think they wouldn't? The entire "it's not Cover" theory basically hinges on the idea that they won't try to get ahead of their competitors because I like them. They're a business, my dude.
