>>58303823These girls are absolute retards and they'll crash, burn, tilt in the mud and sink because they can't understand what makes Hololive different from the whole rest of the entertainment industry,
The whole rest of the entertainment industry is ad and sponsor supported. Take Ludwig, MrBeast and the rest of the big names in the western online bueisnes, their whole business model is
>get AS MANY EYEBALLS AS POSSIBLE in a single high profile event>sell as many advertisement slots (overt and product placement) as possible for it>use the rest of the year to build hype to the next eventThat makes it so that it doesn't matter if nobody gives a fuck about them in 179 days in a semester, that ONE BIG EVENT is enough to pay their bills as long as they can get as many eyeballs at that moment as possible.
Hololive operates in a different model
>it doesn't matter if your ceiling is capped at (let's say) 70k, as long as your faithful audience continue supporting you, you have a steady income for lifeThese are chicks with 8k members, 10k members getting a gross revenue on membership alone in the 30k per month meaning they might be taking home 10k per month and the company, another 10k per month on recurring revenue alone, not even mentioning merch and donations.
The short summary is
>Holo girls don't need 1M tourists to succeed, they need 10k membersKobo is one that might be figuring that exact thing out, by contrast with Kaela.
It is good that Laplus is determined to run this experiment because her crashing and burning will provide a valuable lesson to the other girls
