>>77124873>Assuming Anycolor's Q4 is as terrible as everyone expectswill definitely happen
>and NijiEN kicks the bucket,will probably not happen
>how do you see it playing out?The Q4 was going to be terrible before the selen shock, now it'll be even worse but they will also use that as an excuse to write off their own incompetence by saying that an unexpected rise in anti behaviour that came from their totally justified attempt to destroy selen caused them to fail this quarter.
they will cite lack of profits as a reason to cut back on unnecessary expenses such as concerts, new outfits, 3D shit and staff salaries. they'll say that merch and voice packs continue to be their biggest money makers so they'll triple down on those, expect waves of cheap plastic tat and monthly voice packs authored by chatGPT and recorded in one take
these steps will surely make anycolor a million billion in profits by next year and will prove riku is super good at his job
>Which ex-livers will find a way forward, and which ones will need to flip burgers?A twitch indie i watch has said that they make slightly more than working at walmart, they're recently partnered and generally get between 100-200 ccv, based off of that i assume that anyone still averaging 1 finanna will be fine, anyone lower than that will be looking to extricate themselves as fast as their suffocating contracts will allow
>And what outside players stand the most to gain?phase and vshojo are already reaping the benefits of anycolors demise, if idol stops the bleeding it can also turn it's fortunes around, maybe a few other corpos as well, all they really have to do is promote themselves as not being insanely greedy and evil
>Will Hololive assert total dominance, or will a mixture of small corpos and large indies occupy the vacuum NijiEN leaves behind?hololive is already dominant but it didn't get to where it is over night, they'd been building up slowly and had already established their path when the double boom of covid and myth's debut had them blow up internationally. i want to say that there will eventually a worthy competitor for covers current state but as it would require insane amounts of dedication and capital to burn it's unlikely anyone will try - for most corpos it will probably be far more profitable to stay small-medium and not try to muscle in on covers territory
