>>98158479I don't know man. I don't like seeing vtuber companies fall apart. I've already seen too many go that way. At this point you've got Hololive, Niji, VShojo, and Phase. The former two have lots of JP talents who are very popular and the latter two are run by relatively competent people rather than just weebs with some capital.
All the other corpos work like this:
1. Create a company and a couple of appealing models
2. Hire people and assign them to their vtuber personas.
3. They debut and you hope they do well
4a. They do well but it's usually one who stands well above the rest in terms of CCV or donations.
4b. They don't catch on and it's more expensive and troublesome to continue the process so they just dissolve the company.
4c. Gross levels of incompetence or scandal leads to half the talents leaving and eventually the ones who stay (possibly for retention bonuses) also leave because the company's reputation is over and people don't want to support it financially or join as new generations.
5a. Popular one doesn't feel like it's worth supporting the whole company so they leave, causing the rest of the members to be in limbo for a few months before the company dies or more follow suit.
6a. Everyone graduates only to redebut in the future as a new unknown entity.
6b. They're lucky or have the means to retain their IP so they continue on as semi-successful indies.
