>>64760824>>64763150I think it's good that indies are thinking about the pros and cons of going corpo instead of just thinking it's all sunshine and gold as soon as they join a company. However, I will agree with
>>64768848 that I'm glad any indies who believe too many rumors and spend their time gossiping don't make it into any corpos. Those are the worst types that end up being all-around bad people if they believe rumors and bait threads. I want to shine some positivity on going to a company though. There's still opportunities like sponsorships, collabs, merch, etc. Being under a brand still helps you grow a little easier because they help promote you rather than you relying on only doing it yourself.
Oversaturation is a topic people love to bring up, but if you think about it, everything is "oversaturated". There's an oversaturation of streamers in general but there's still people making money off being a youtuber and a large twitch streamer. There's an oversaturation of fast food but smaller franchises are thriving because everyone's tired of McDonald's and Wendy's everywhere. There's an oversaturation of toy brands, snacks, music, anime. The oversaturation argument could be used for anything, but none of the categories I mentioned are "dying". A better word to use would be variety. A lot of people bring up the reason why they love Nijisanji is because they like how there's a vtuber out there for everyone. If they only stopped at around 5 or 10 vtubers, sure there will be someone you might like but they may not be "The One". I've heard of some anons switching oshis, finding more in common with someone else, etc. The whole oversaturation thing is just a scare. Variety is good and there are more vtuber fans being gained every day.
If the market is oversaturated, then how come that new holo girl group is getting popular already? How come small corpos are gaining new fans and viewers than they did a few months or a year ago? How come people are still excited to watch small corpo female vtubers despite there being dozens in the big corpos already? And there's still much fewer guys to choose from when it comes to corpos, so indies shouldn't be bummed about the "market being oversaturated" because there's still so many things that haven't been tried when it comes to males yet. I know this board loves to make fun of "fujobaiting" but how many other males do you see catering to fujoshi more blatantly out there? How many corpo males do you see that cater directly to yumejoshi? How many do fanservice in general? Most nowadays want to pander to "bros" like flesh streamers and still don't realize that going that route is less profitable in most cases. There's still no femunicorn-friendly corpo out there (granted it's because they're not very vocal, but still). So don't believe this whole "oversaturation" thing. Keep working hard, be a positive and uplifting person, and you'll find a place for yourself out there.
