>>89996591>It's this mentality of "this is work below me, I'm bigger than this" that I'm tired of.My point is the exact opposite. Anons suggested "try STOGRA". They tried VCR. It did even worse for them than their regular streaming. STOGRA would likely result in the same.
It's not that they're trying wrong, it is that they're trying right and failing anyway for lack of market.
>>89996878>If Holostars is not making waves but not a money drain either, then it's logical to just let them stick around indefinitely.Outside of everything I said about the lack of a sufficiently big market for male vtuber, there is one thing that is particular about the Holostars that makes their continued existence something more than merely
>break even, no loss no profitThe expectations of their audience is FUNDAMENTALLY incompatible with the main Hololive audience and that goes SPECIALLY for the audience of their EN branch of the Holostars.
There is a reason it is easy to identify members of their audience by their vocabulary, they want "unhinged" content, "mind broken" boys and girls, conflict and disagreement.
Meanwhile the general Hololive audience wants "te te", girls playing by the rules while on occasion being bold and breaking them by saying "damn!", wholesome heartwarming content.
There is such a fundamental difference between what the holostars audience expects and the general vtuber audience (VShojo, Nijisanji, Phase Connect) audience expects and what Hololive provides that it makes it impossible to cater to both audiences at the same time.
For Hololive competitors that's not an issue, if they wanted to watch "Hololive style" vtubing they would watch Hololive in the first place but the Holostars audience believe, by virtue of both agencies be under the same production company, that the company should cater to their preferences and adapt their content to be more of their liking.
It creates PERMAMENT conflict between both audiences, with each wanting something diametrically opposite styles of content.
If they were each their own separated agency (like Brave treats their agencies, with AStars being one thing, YUMENOS being something different and VSPO being something else) it wouldn't be a problem but the Holostars audience is deadset in the belief that
>because Holostars are under Hololive Productions, Holostars are Hololive and Hololive audience and Holostars audience are one and the samewhich is patently false.
The biggest liability the Holostars bring to Hololive right now is exactly this, the company having the obligation and trying to cater to both agencies as if they were part of the same whole makes it a permanent conflict between one audience wanting something and the other wanting something completely else.
That goes way beyond financial motivations, it is a fundamental incompaitbility that can't be solved in any way other than either complete separation or picking a side and sticking with it in detriment of the other.
