>>83852850I don't really know if I can convey it well but it's something about the style of streaming and the level of I guess what you could call "safety" or "scripting"
I don't mean to attack any specific holos by saying this so don't take it that way but I think it's definitely far more possible to just exist in the company without streaming too much nowadays. And I liked those streams. Just the random chatting, or singing, or pulling a mystery game off the shelf and who knows what it'll be. Now it just feels like there's constant events all the time in a very inorganic sort of way.
The safety part is sort of about the permissions and redtape side of things. They lost a ton of permissions back in the big copyright purge and while some stuff has come back and some holos still do play and sing a variety of stuff, there's still a bunch of forbidden stuff and also I'm sure some don't want to deal with pestering management about permissions stuff too much and just stick with the safe things. Like how (according to pekora) you can play impromptu mario party with up to 3 people but if you want a 4th you need to request special permissions in advance. Or how many holos have complained about permission delays, wanting to play something and not being allowed, and so on.
But then also part of the safety part is just that they're too big, they're too watched, and in a way that sort of massive fanbase makes it hard to really be free. Aqua's 2nd last minecraft stream, where she explored the old minecraft server looking at nostalgic spots, she came across all sorts of silly traps many of which would cause you to lose your entire inventory. And looking at those she just laughs and says
>There's no way we could make this sort of thing now. Everyone would get angryIt's just a mindset change I think, towards a mindset that produces few interesting streams which are what I mainly care about
