>>86021520They all have explained it on-stream as Holos on stream.
All of them signed up for work during the pandemic, they were all also in mental rough spots and or were desperate enough to assume playing the animated 2D girl was a good idea for an online job.
>Kiara soon-to-be kicked out of Japan because her work holiday VISA was running out and she had to resort to odd jobs. Afterwards she would have next to ZERO way to legally stay long periods of time there and time was ticking. She applied late expecting a miracle. Turns out her linguistic abilities secured her the job from the get go.>Mori explaining she was doing EN teaching to make end meets, living in a micro-apartment and going full alcoholic to not give up because the pandemic KILLED a gorillion underground artists careers (End of A Life explained by Mori got us this bit of info from her) and it was threatening to kill her's too, whatever the fuck she was doing. Despite that, she only applied because ofc some of her friends were chuubas and they convinced her to apply, she did it for the lolz expecting a swift rejection as she was the complete opposite of the average cutesy uwu voice generic vtuber personality and instead was the only one of her group to get the golden call and almost didn't tell them out of shame and guilt because she defo didn't try hard at all lmao.>Ame explaining she was doing a YOLO with Hololive, if it also didn't work she was going to give up on streaming/online career and go wagie forever, she originally mentally only allocated 1 YEAR of her time to HoloEN, the success and her overall "going with the flow" personality made her stay for 4 years. Which means Gators got lucky, their Oshi could have dipped 3 years back from now.>Ina applied because she was so indifferent to life and the pandemic made her shut-in issues way worse so she did this to break out of the routine for once because her life felt like it was not going anywhere despite not being a bad life overall.>SAME DESU apparently did a ton of different jobs from unclogging toilets in the dead of the night (that was a fun story lol) to something about kids TV and something else or something idk, i'm not schizo enough to know or tell the rest. Decided to apply after seeing a Hololive meme and doing an all-nighter worth of research on Hololive and asking her mom if it was a good idea to apply. She said yes. Shark applies, Gura is born, all records shattered after a fucking "a" greeting mogs every single welcome word previously uttered by all chuubas before her. No more odd jobs for Shark. Which is cool because if she's really sick as she's been saying for a while then the semi-remote work that is Hololive and the money came in handy.Newer gens after Myth sort of KNOW what they signed up for (this is mostly post-Council gens tho), Myth kinda signed thinking this was going to be a profittable fad, a funny short gig or a complete dumpsterfire, it turned out to be the long haul of a whole ass new industry in the west and it included tons of things they didn't quite sign up for like idol-like activities, tons of paperwork and homework out of stream, travelling often, meetings, god knows what else. Myth fell off because they weren't ready for this.
In retrospective, It's a miracle only Sana has actually fucked off and Ame semi-left. I personally wouldn't be able to take the mental toll of this gig. I am not prepared, unlike nearly all the now top-tier auditionees who unironically have years of artistic backgrounds or practice and prep, it's wild because a few years back the prerequisite was being a woman, knowing how to use a basic AF streaming setup, camera not fucking included sometimes and barely understanding how to use Office lmao. Now we got girls fresh out of artistic majors applying and getting MOGGED by someone with a whole ass career worth of experience in VA work or a legit no degree unpolished gem who after a few months show everyone doubting them why COVER picked them up instead of the girl with a gorillion qualifications that would get her a minor role on TV in some 3rd world country lol. The ride never stops climbing but it will never be as big as the cocks OP eats because he is ofc, a fag who made a bait thread but got a serious response. I now declare him BTFO. End of post. Also Gura mogs your Oshi without even streaming and """"we"""" are the only ones to blame for it. Damn it all. I should take meds rn i'm losing it. it's over. Janny halp aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
