>>69828685Sana quite literally did not join for money. She joined to make friends, and she did.
The reason she left was due to a culmination of different things.
>Her dog died during the peak of COVIDSana got the news of her dog dying and spent the rest of the week acting normally before announcing her break to go to her parents home where the dog lived. The reason why "peak of COVID" is relevant is because her parents live in America and she's in Australia, where entry into the country required a three-week isolation.
She returned to streaming normally after six weeks, but despite this she still got harassed on Twitter and received snide remarks in SCs about her break.
>Management kept heavily discouraging her ideas and it became her reason for leaving Sana didn't want to draw but management kept asking her to and Sanalites added to that pressure. Sana wanted to do horoscope videos but management kept telling her to stop (and even deleted almost all her VODs of them after graduation). Sana wanted to do "kusoge monday" which obviously got hard-denied, but it turned out that she wasn't even able to play indie games without approval from management after. This is more for the next point, but Sana was denied being able to use PNGs when her back hort arc happened.
>Sana got into an accident that incapacitated her This is a point that gets, intentionally or otherwise, misrepresented. Sana got into an accident and her lower back was heavily affected. Sitting upright was painful for her but laying down allowed her to do things with relative normalcy. Her reason for even talking about this wasn't because she wanted to stream less -- she still streamed normally -- but because she wanted to explain why she's ONLY doing 2 to 4 hour streams. She didn't like how painkillers affected her mind so she just dealt with the pain for those streams. Despite how much this gets reiterated as "the main reason" she left, Sana didn't even talk about her injury much after the initial announcement. Coupled with how she'd receive shit still for going on break for her dog (this is when trolls would send in red SCs named "sana's dog" still) and how management basically neutered her in an attempt to make her an art goblin, it just compounded everything.
>tl;drManagement, during Council's debut, was the worst for the EN branch ever. Even worse than with Myth, who all confirmed they were quite literally "left to their own devices" due to all of them having to share one manager for everything even during their boom. Don't let anybody say that Hololive was always amazing and supportive, because not even HoloEN-only fans believe that. Sana left because of shitty management not protecting her, not supporting her, and not honoring her wishes for content, but if she debuted after the restructuring with Jap, she'd absolutely thrive.
