>>71262307IP-based model only works with free-flowing user-generated content (fangames, fan music, fan ads, fan clips, fan animations etc.).
And user-generated content only comes from a passionate fanbase.
Passionate fanbases only come when you're genuinely entertaining and have very little drama. Bonus points if anyone watching your stream leaves with a positive feeling rather than a lethargic/negative one.
No matter how small your fanbase is, if it's passionate enough, they can overcome their limitations and basically explode mindshare.
Mouse is literally the ONLY VShojo girl with any mindshare on twitch, and it's mainly because she adopted the "streamer" model of branding, swapping outfits and models like no tomorrow so often that she doesn't have any quintessential "silhouette" or "design" associated with her.
She has no IP, essentially. And ofc every other VShojo just follows her model blindly because she's the "veteran".
Without an IP, there's zero user-generated content.
Company content - what Cover labels Professionally Generated Content (PGC) in their slides - is just one half of the equation.
Also, Holocure was such a smash hit because it was actually FUN for people that were even outside the Hololive fanbase, not because it was a "VTuber game".
These retards are doing the most basic monkey-see monkey-do without understanding all the 100 layers of nuance that's built into Hololive's "idol"-based IP system since 2019.
