>>73502626>They just don't want PL B to do that to siphon viewers.That just doesn't make sense and they have no way of demonstrating this to be true. Dokibird is probably the only case where you can demonstrate a loss beyond that expected from a departing talent, and that's definitely not due to people identifying her as the same person.
And like, if they're a big-enough name or have a distinct-enough voice, people find them anyway. People who loved Pikamee found her anyway, same with Rushia. Did those of them who were fans of other VOMS and Hololive talents drop them completely? Doubtful.
>I think the big corpos basically do this (Hololive talents get a full salary for instance).I believe they're still considered contractors which robs them of employee rights and protections (this is a problem even if the company does nothing wrong).
>Without the NDA, you know that there will be people who do this.And what's wrong with that? This is especially valuable if they've decided to start over with a brand-new identity.
The only defense for these clauses is that the company will take some kind of loss, but that loss is undefinable and undemonstrated, and therefore worthless.
>A lot. Not every fan that follows someone to their indie account (and especially so if they are allowed to cross-advertise) is a fan that will naturally leave in protest of a talent leaving. In fact, many fans in the "box" that these corpos found follow multiple vtubers instead of exclusively a single one.I'm not understanding you. You're telling me that most fans will not stop supporting the company in "protest," and that they also watch other vtubers within the company. Of course I agree to that, but how does that translate to "a lot" to lose for the company...?
Those fans are staying. In fact, we have numerous examples of vtubers LOSING fans when moving companies or going indie.
Some of this can be attributed to those fans being unaware of their new activities, but as we can readily see on this board, many people think that "it's different" now that they've left, and choose not to follow the talent outside of the company.
Even extremely visible and popular talents like Dokibird, Kson or Henya have failed to recapture their previous audience in totality.
