>>80803462Depends. I think it's best to look at it as more of a spectrum, with success and difficulty both ranging depending on what you make of the profession.
>HololiveOverall, it can be very easy if you just want to lay back and stream, since you're quite literally guaranteed success, relative to every other vtubing output, but you aren't going to end up on the level of Marine, Mori, or Suisei if you go that route. To become a true pillar and standout of the standout vtubing agency, you need to work hard.
>HomosLike Hololive, except a big success story isn't that far off from just coasting. You're still guaranteed financial stability, thanks to a salary, and you're still going to be in the top 10% of vtubers, even if you end up as a high 3view. Overall, pretty easy and would be a cushy, albeit not retirement-worthy job for anyone who's able to bear working with Filipinos.
>NijisanjiHell. No salary, pennies from your merch, the only guaranteed good money you'd get is from supas, memberships, and ad revenue, 2/3 of those being very variable from month to month. The "office" culture is some of the most toxic I've ever seen, and if you aren't a breakout success or suck up to those who were, just give up on making it big.
>VshojoMiddling? Hard to tell because they're really just a nepohiring festival. I suppose if someone brand new were to make it in, it'd probably be the most financially successful option if you could never get into Hololive. As long as Twitch audiences keep lapping up the slop they do, you'll keep having an audience of at least 2-3k people if you're mildly entertaining, and the money follows suit.
>PhaseMiddling, but on the lower end of that middle. If you put some work in and are entertaining you're guaranteed some good money, unless you're a JP talent, because they have zero mindshare.
>IdolPretty hard. The company is doing very bad currently with all the negative PR as Phase soared past them and newer microcorps start taking viewers away who want a more comfortable experience. You'd have to grind hard at making money and most of it would probably end up used by the time the company fully goes under or is bought out.
>VSPO!Hope you're good at shilling keyboards.
>CGDCT Friendly Small CorposYour Pixellinks, V4Ms, etc. You're in for a lot of grinding, but a sort of parachute to catch you is a nice have. Pretty hard, but probably the more kind and comfortable sort of hard, where it's more of you all on a team trying to win than an all out war battle royale. Speaking of...
>NEXASAll out war battle royale. Better hope you win.
>IndiesEntirely dependent on your own drive to succeed and work hard. Could end up as a 2view, only making ends meet thanks to a single oil baron, or as the next sensation, with consistent 5view streams, always being relevant and having enough money to retire at age 30. It just depends on how willing you are to get to work.
