>>79266600>HoloYes, and they've kind of been coasting on the success from the era you're referencing. I don't think Council, HoloX, most of Advent, dev_is, or Justice are building and maintaining the brand, or at least not anywhere near to the level as anyone you cited there. FWMC are the exception here, I will give them that, amazing hire.
>NijiToo much to explain here and I don't really care, but suffice to say that there's a huge difference between Niji and NijiEN.
>VshojoWhat you're missing is that the bad hires that caused reputational damage were mostly the same as the heavy hitters. Losing them both hurt and helped the brand, but overall their brand image is up after losing nyanners and veibae and replacing them with Henya + ex-NijiENs.
>>79266630That's largely correct. If you look at the people hired here, their talents brought them middling 3views. Being in Holo nets them 4-5views. Cecilia probably wouldn't have been hired if she couldn't play violin, but people aren't watching her because she can play violin, but because she's in Hololive.
