>>69575838because he isnt a corpo, he presents himself as such, but he isnt.
he has a complete understanding of what a vtuber is, that being not a idol, even if he wants them to strive for that. they never will reach it, he just wants them to reach for it.
even if he was a corpo, he isnt a asshole.
he doesnt hide behind a bunch of managers and whatevers above them, he talks to his talents directly.
if rie wanted, she could have call sakana in the middle of the holo-collab (just as a joke) and he would have answered.
combine this all with the overwhelming liberty they have as streamers, and phase will be the number 2 vtuber company by 2025.
