>>62615667It's stupid but yeah. It's just that.
To be honest Cover has serious management problems, one recent exemple is Mio, Sakura and Subaru not renewing the Sport Festival despite the fact it's one of the biggest event of the year because they have to pay for it and organize everything themselves is stupid.
Like they're really cancelling one of the biggest event of the year just because… reasons.
It's like if you canceled the Mario Kart tournament because the talents have to pay and organize it.
The blame is on both side I would say. Like
1. Shut up and do your work, bitch, nobody asks your opinion. You're a streamer you stream. If you have to organize this event you organize it.
2. Cover should help them since it's one of the biggest event of the year.
But despite the terrible management, 2 holostars leaving (a 3rd talent did too, no?) they still have the absolute monopoly and NijiEN is dying and NijiJP still behind.
Niji who was the only real rival is literally a black company treating their talents like dogs while Hololive engaged S-tier Fuwamoco.
Hololive sucks, but the other suck even more. Way more.
There is also what I call the Gura effect.
At a certain point, the most famous just snowballs and monopolizes the market. It doesn't need to be the best, it's just the most famous so newbies discover it first and stay.
The #1 chuba is literally a retard with a foot fetish who can't count, sings well but doesn't put one once of effort in it and stream every 32 of the month.
>stinky>feet>oh nyoCover is the same. They can do whatever they want, people will anyway discover Gura, Korone and Pekora before Pomu, Selen, Henya, Kson and Veibae because of the algorithm and that's it.
Maybe independants like Filian or Ironmouse (because of the QSMP) are the contenders but it's just one talent here and there. Vshojo is far from challenging Hololive.
