Fags who believer the Cover story (heh) are the same types who really believe deep down that corporate focus groups result in a better product, and that executives get their way because they're just so damn good at convincing lower-ranking talent of their brilliant ideas.

The manager staff probably got way too scared of letting her do anything that could be slightly controversial after what happened. I still don't think it was malicious, but they're extremely fucking dumb for doing it. I'd thought they knew that trying to hard control your talents would make them less motivated, even as a mean to protect them from antis, but it looks like I was wrong. I do hope this is a wake up call for them to be less restrictive in the future considering how many members complained about it during the past months and now Coco's graduation.

I seriously doubt they will, if they did, then they would already tell coco that her plan are approve now so cancel the graduation, they still have plenty of time.

I think he doesn't have this kind of administrative power. I don't wanna act like I understand how the internals of Cover work, but considering how a bunch of members like him including the Stars, who were fucked since day 1, I believe he can't do anything with how the managers deal with the talents. He could fire them, but I there are laws that protect employees against those actions, even if what they're doing will hurt the company in the long run. It's the old saying that Cover has a great eye for talent but a horrendous streak for managers.

I don’t see how he can’t just over ride their decision, he is their boss. Sure he can’t fire them without justification but I don’t think there exist a company where the boss’s decision can’t over ride some decision by some manager.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4937916
He probably has the power to do that, but isn't nearly as involved in the talent side of things to even be aware of any problems like that. Being the CEO I assume he mostly deals with stuff pretty much unrelated to idols.

They actually do. It's just that most people don't have that power. Most said people turn into absolute monsters if they're given it though. Corporations are just expressions of that urge. The guys at the top don't care what anyone else think and want their way, and they have the ability to make that so.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4937009
Yeah. I am wondering if some other talents getting their projects canned (like Pekora) is also related to management taking more creative control now.

I guess I get that Cover wants all these corporate sponsorships and that stuff so they are trying to protect the bottom line by keeping controversy at bay. But at the same time, is that what the idols want, too? Or would they be happy with their loyal fans and just the odd brave company doing a collab - so mostly jp only stuff?

[Anonymous No.]

>>4938005
Which is why I hope he get off his ass and get involve in this case but there is a high chance of him having no actual power at all.

>>4938005
He deals mainly with the tech side according to that A-chan interview. I can see him not wanting to be too hands-on with the entertainment side because he has zero experience with it. That's what he hires management for after all, it's going to set a bad precedent if he keeps second guessing their decisions. Problem is, he's hired bad managers in the first place.

>>4937916
Gabe Newell is the president of Valve Software. He's theoretically the most important person at Valve, but every single information we have about the internals of the company and how he conducts his day to day shows that he can't do anything much. As >>4938063, other than the tech part he probably keeps himself to the high administrative decisions, like dealing with sponsors or creating new branches, but dealing with the day to day is probably something he doesn't have full control other an authoritative decision that could put him in trouble with the labour court. It's highly likely there's someone before him that deals with the managers and works as a barrier between them and the higher-ups. It happens all the time in a bunch of different companies. Just remember all the shitty HR stories you've heard and how those people almost always keep their jobs.

>>4936394
that translation is correct, but out of context it's very misleading.
That should be around when she doubled down on never popping up anywhere else (as Kiryu Coco at least, convenitently), just hololive. She then jokingly named some reasons one would expect like

I can see your point but sometime you gotta take risk. Hololive is at the peak of it popularity right now, they have a perfect group of girls working for them, allowing coco to leave create a crack in the group, there is risk of it all come tumbling down. If coco is planning to graduate anyway then ok her project to see what happen as a test, if she did something stupid then the western fanbase will just cancel her then she can leave, at least then it is her own actual fault. The west are not retarded like the chinks in that we won’t go after the other girls if coco is the one who fucked up and they are not going to push hololive off YouTube just because coco saying shit like nigga.

Another good example would be someone like Sean Murray from Hello Games. Listen to how Tanigou speaks, he is a humble man who just wanted to play with tech stuff for some fun, then his first "talent" and his vision for her had to be explained. He probably asked if they could imagine being virtual idols and divas and they were pumped at the time. Nobody expected the success.
Capcom swooping in causing the Holocaust was the first big sign that this is now grown-up territory with all it's boring and scary implications, money on the line. What do you do, Tanigou? Time to... employ some adults and listen to their every word.
But let's face it, the girls love what they're doing in general, who doesn't love having fun with now friends and making mad money with it. Depending on how much money that was, we will see changes now that adults threaten to take the magic away.

Thing is, something like this is probably out of Yagoo's hands and he doesn't actually understand the Western scene enough to be able to both dictate a direction change and convince the board of directors that it's the right thing to do. He might be thinking that he's leaving it in the hands of people who know better than him because he hired them specifically for that sector.

>>4938329
I agree. Cover have definitely fucked up and been incompetent but growing too big too fast really has its price. Too many different interests have their fingers in the pie, too much scrutiny from everyone looking to take a bite out of you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4938329
Right now Cover either goes through a severe restructure or it'll be a slow and drawn-out death. Nijisanji and Ichikara had a similar problem during it's earlier years, but they listened to the Nijisanji Resistance and caved in to their demands and changed a lot of things for the better. I bet there might be an internal movement between the members to do something similar. Remember that a lot of Holos are friends with Nijis, specially Shiina Yuika who was one of the leaders of the Resistance. So either the managerial staff listen to them or more graduations will happen in the future.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4938443
wouldn't it be amazing if Coco graduates so she can fix the managerial problems within Hololive? I think it's very clear that she loves Hololive and every single talent so much. I think it would be great if she takes some degree of control inside Hololive and change it for the better.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4938443
You can argue they already past that stage anon. The severe restructure is them taking idol approach, it almost cost them okayu and now it cost them coco. Its done deal

[Anonymous No.]

>>4938443
I fully expect it to play out like that, and hope the Holos know of this. Okayu has been suspiciously unaffected by all of this, being close to Shiina already paints a picture here.
Choco suddenly doing risky content again and Coco mentioning her explicitly as a good support points this out, Korone really isn't comfortable with where she is right now and already threatened to graduate (and told us on twitter about "something awful happening" where we guessed it was about her grandma among other things please jannies don't ban me for this one again IT WAS ON HER STREAMS AS INUGAMI KORONE I CAN SHOW YOU FOR FUCKS SAKE) , Mikochi is suspicious as fuck, many such cases.

The most interesting one is Suisei for me personally. Good contacts to the indie scene, has the rights to her character on her own person (this is VERY important) as well as her old self-made model which nobody can take away from her even IF cover has all rights to the new one, and frankly she seems pissed. Other agencys know of her talents, she could easily go indie again with all her contacts, heck, she could USE her old model to found a new company with Coco at the top kinda like Noripro, and her being in there will show everyone "this is where your girls are" even if they have to commission new models.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4932093
to be honest though, that description doesn't sound like either party is doing anything wrong? if the company is aiming to put out content that fits with a certain image then its well within their rights to require that those working for them conform to that and if the person working for them doesn't want to then its well within their rights to go work somewhere else

[Anonymous No.]

>>4938636
For Suisei ownership of the character is the big thing, the model itself is secondary. She could get by with a sketch done in Paint for the short term and it wouldn't matter.
Not only she has plenty of money to get a new one by a professional, she's a big enough name that I can't imagine a lot of big dick artists and riggers wouldn't want to do it for the exposure on top of the money.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4938531
Nijisanji lost a some members before the Shiina and Chaika started the Resistance, and I might be wrong (I started following Niji rather recently) but I believe the trigger was Sasaki's graduation. Yeah, Coco will probably never come back, but that doesn't mean the talents can't pressure the managerial staff hard enough for them to stop being such control freaks. Because it's either that or more graduations, and with 17 (soon to be 16) members at 1 million, at least 3 really close to hit the milestone, and some of them already complaining about managers in their streams I doubt Cover will leave this unscathed (either positively or negatively).

>>4938636
Okayu and Aqua being close to Shiina really makes the future uncertain for Cover. I do hope things change for the better and the talents can keep being part of Hololive without shitty managers ruling anything out.

Here's a rrat - Melody is Coco's friend, and they communicate often. Vshojo is being run amazingly well by only a couple of people - the girls have as much freedom as they want, they own their characters, and they're not censored in any way. They can also play any game they want because they understand how streaming culture actually works, and no autistic boomer nip is breathing down their necks. Vei played Conker's Bad Fur Day (on an emulator, mind you), she didn't need to ask for fucking permissions from people who obviously don't give a damn. That's because Westerners are far more familiar with streaming, we know how this shit works.
So Coco, who thrived on silly ideas and crass humor and got punished for it multiple times, looks at this shit and realizes that something is very damn wrong with Hololive. She sees that these Japanese retards have no idea how streaming actually works, and the girls suffer for it. So maybe she wants to be the change she wants to see in Hololive, and that's why she needed to step down from the stage and go behind the scenes like she originally planned when she applied for management (but became an idol instead, after some persuasion).

[Anonymous No.]

>>4938715
This whole thing vaguely reminds me of the PewdiePie situation where Youtube signed all these big money deals with him and knew who he was, but the moment they felt any pressure they dropped him like a hot rock. It's disingenuous and the kind of things fans hate, even if from a corporate level it may be "acceptable" or "normal"--everyone knows they already knew and appreciated his edginess when it was giving them money, and the double standard when they feel the slightest bit of pressure is discrediting to the consumers.
If Coco was a deadweight on the brand from the consumers viewpoint it would be different.

It bears mentioning that being overseas is a big deal, it's not just ignorance of the climate. It's the same reason overseas torrent sites feel a lot more safe than ones in the US (hell, ones in the US basically don't exist). So yes, while Capcom could sue someone in the US, it's a big hurdle that makes it a lot easier for them to shrug and say cultural differences and not pursue it. Meanwhile in Japan it's a lot easier for them to get their way.

The permissions case is not Cover's fault, at least the need for them. It's Japanese legislature, companies can go for your throat if you don't have explicit permission to do it. If you look for streaming rules for Japanese games the Japanese one is always much more restrictive than the Western one. Cover is absurdly slow with getting permission for games (even if they did some great partnerships to get full libraries from Squenix, Capcom and others), but they can't stream those games without dealing with this shit.

There are companies like Capcom, but Hololive was actually asking for permissions even for games like Undertale, even though Toby Fox himself gave express permission for anyone to stream it, and it's all written on the fucking website. You have to be aware of these things, and Cover doesn't seem to understand it at all. There are tons of cool indie games Holos could be playing if their managers were able to read a bit of English and bothered to google a few things.

I know it's highly unlikely but given her quotes about wanting to move into management, it would be interesting if she set up her own independent vTuber group. Nothing formal like Hololive but a loose conglomeration of talents. It'd be fun that when people graduate from Hololive or elsewhere they could move under her umbrella to continue as a different and less restricted persona.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4939018
in suiseis case she is her own mama and actually scrambled the Live2D together on her own as well, so she completely owns this one. Sadly that's not the case for the pretty one which is inspired by her 3D model, the really pretty one in all the music videos.
Cover pays for all the models under hololive, so they of course keep those.
The big question is if they own her name, her branding, stuff like that. They did not initially, but might have bought it off her in the meantime when things were nice.

Suisei's oldest videos are quite a blast from the past. She really tried her hardest from the start.
>Sadly that's not the case for the pretty one which is inspired by her 3D model, the really pretty one in all the music videos.
That doesn't matter as long as she owns Suisei herself, and she does. If she wants to walk away, she could just pay someone to design a shiny new costume. Or she can even go back to her old design to emphasize the return to basics, Japanese fans love that stuff, it would make her look more humble and pure. Just pay someone like Keffiy to rig a new model.
However, the most important thing is that she owns her channel. So breaking away in her case would not lose her any audience whatsoever.
Suisei did everything right, and I fucking wish other holos had as much power and freedom as she has.

How would her originals work, tho? Comet and Tenkyuu were before Hololive, but what about Next Color Planet and Ghost? She wrote the lyrics, so it's partially hers, but does Cover owns part of it? Dunno how it works in the music industry there, but in this case would they be similar to a Record Label and not have any influence other than maybe still get a cut from sales? She hasn't touched PIeces since the China debacle, so I'm scared of the possibility of those 2 ending up stuck in a limbo.

I don't know what you're implying here. I was talking about how the restrictions on games isn't Cover's fault, not the Holoapocalypse. That was Cover's fault for not doing the same thing all companies where doing, but it's stupid to get mad at Cover for needing to ask for permissions.

I don't know either, the music industry everywhere is the biggest clusterfuck of copyrights and red tape imaginable. Still, losing a couple of songs wouldn't hurt her that much, she can always produce more as long as the audience is there and she has her fucking face.

Oh yeah, losing NCP and Ghost would be horrible, but in no way worse than seeing her being creatively restrained by Cover. I do wonder if she's doing her composer reps to be both lyrically and musically independent. I believe right now only Rikka can do both (which makes sense because of his background), but considering how Suisei is a massive overachiever I don't think it would be too hard for her to be in full control of her music going forward.

Hololive grew and got sponsors because of what Coco and many of the other girls did. Stifling their creativity after what they've done for the brand will not end well for Cover, and unlike actual idols who might have a hard time to just say fuck it and move on, most of Holopro members aren't on their first on even second rodeo, Coco included. So if Cover doesn't want to lose more talents they need to change their approach first, because Coco's graduation is in no way an event that won't influence the future of the company.

>>4941176
Just read, ESLchama. She already said 2 things in this stream:
- Cover restricts her ideas (rock vs country music).
- She wishes "it" didn't happen. After which everything changed.

So the antis made Cover more restrictive in their policies (an expected response), which then shut down her ideas and made her unhappy (Haachama also went through a depression episode due to restrictions). Coco was mad enough to complain about the inability to collab with EN in public some time ago. In conclusion, the antis' role in her leaving, is that they changed Cover. And Cover's role in her leaving, is that they over-reacted. You are right that antis played a role, just not in the banal sort of way you arer imagining.

It seems like upper management want Holo JP to be more "idols" than "comedians" make them train singing and dancing for concerts and shit, remember how Coco took a break in the middle of second fes preparations? They've made a bank out of those ticket sales I'm sure and plan to focus on that. Holo EN might have more freedom because they can't realistically train them like the rest that's why Haachama wanted to join it as a joke, she might graduate any time soon for similar reasons.

I always envisioned Hololive as a new-age Machinima. It was broad, boasted an ensemble cast, granted creators upward movement and connection to sponsors, and gave its members the physical and financial means to do more. That being said, it's really damning to watch the former fall almost identically in the way of the latter - a corporate husk focused solely on its own bottom line, with the single aim of monopolizing a genre's creators, doing fuck-all to actually help them, extorting each and every one of them for all they're worth, and being absolutely dumbstruck when they all want out. Whether or not Hololive's current problems and potential decline reflects more heavily on the east's inexperience with streaming or on Cover's ineptitude in picking up on Machinima's decade-long failures is to be determined, but it doesn't seem like their current business model is built to last.

I've never been one to "anti" per-se, but Hololive imploding might be the best thing that could happen to vtubing in general right now. I'm sure both the fans and the money-makers would prefer a network of 40-something indies as opposed to the office politics encompassing the scene right now.

For everyone that isn't on the loop. If there was actually any issues with management, you must know that Cover has recently hired and are still hiring new managers, concert directors, PR, and a bunch of jobs related to tech and events. New content has been introduced like the Gaming Show in the main channel, legend of polka, hololive idol radio, Watame's exercise and atleast 3D concerts left and right. They have also have permitted holoen to collab outside. Not just with Coco. A-chan has ofcourse hinted a Bloom 2.0.
What I am pointing out here is that creative output is not exactly being stifled anymore to a certain degree or at least there is a push now from Cover to let them be like holoen collabing outside thus we have InaxPikamee. So they maybe already showing signs of progress. Just not to tye extent that Coco wants

I do hope that if Hololive grows further, Cover feels secure enough to have a spin-off gen which they afford more freedom. I think that'd be the best compromise possible.

2: it's kinda frustrating that the more she tries to explain/justify/etc, the more my sympathy erodes and gets replaced by the betrayed sensation that my energy spent on being supportive was wasted.
Basically every thing anyone hopes or expects her to do next she says she isn't doing. Either she's lying hard about her plans or... she's just going to sorta exist, which is unsustainable, particularly in japan.I doubt she gets a pension as a retired chuuba and it isn't like they're going to pay kanatan extra to compensate and let her support her wife... the impression of going into that kind of fall-apart spiral over creative differences is maddening.

There is a growing discontent between members and management for a while now, specially after the chink arc. I'm not painting Cover as this evil mastermind that wants to slave their talents. It's just that after so many controversies back to back they probably thought making shit more sanitized would help the talents not suffer hate mobs, but in the long run it'll make them less likely to keep streaming for Hololive when they can't do anything remotely new for the fear that antis will go hard on them. Yeah, not all of the members are strong enough to go out of their comfort zone and do different things, and that's absolutely fine. But you can't keep treating everyone with kid gloves and expect it'll work fine with everyone. If Cover doesn't want to deal with this kind of situation, why even hire members that could want to do more "controversial" content?

Coco's audience was mostly japanese because Cover is a japanese company and I think that's the point of their disagreements. Coco wanted it to be a worldwide thing and recognized the value of her english as a tool to achieve that. She was one of the main proponents for the EN branch, and might have had an indirect influence in the ID branch (particularly considering how they speak english almost all the time). Cover understands the value of money but they also still think themselves as a "japanese first" company, with JP and ID/EN being really separate when it comes to collabs, at least when it comes to female talent (they seem to have accepted that holostars is for hardcores only, it's sad to see how slow the chat is in their streams).

So, she wanted Filthy Frank, they wanted Joji.

[Anonymous No.]

Cover drew a line on what was acceptable for content. It's huge meme on reddit that the idols are destroying Yagoo's dream of a virtual AKB48 idol group, but what's funny is that's kind of proven to be true. Too true. And so as of this year we've seen restrictions on Haachama's creepypasta videos, Marine's ideas shot down, Pekora's ideas shot down, Amelia's ideas shot down, apology streams, Asacoco is completely dead, and everything that made Hololive as quirky as it was in 2020 has now reverted back to the most basic "virtual idols talk, sing, and play games" streams. The Hololive girls aren't one big close family who are creative directors collabing with each other like indies anymore. They've got to answer to management more than ever now. Coco said it herself, they're a corporation, and they've decided to be a bit more clear on the content they want made this year and how they want to be represented. What made Coco so fun in 2020 could never happen again, and she knows she'll never live up to who she was because of that. So she's leaving before she fades away into just the stale meme reviews she's stuck doing now. Haachama probably feels the same.

Sounds like your headcanon. Every girl has her own agenda. Some align more with the companys agenda, some less and all we have are speculations.
And if by some weird coincidence all of them want to go into a different direction, then all Cover needs are future generations with different girls. Simple as that.
>If Cover doesn't want to deal with this kind of situation, why even hire members that could want to do more "controversial" content?
Or perhaps one or both parties simply changed their goals?

The idea for them was good but I'd say it always hurt how sanitized it felt. Even redditors complained about how boring the memes were most of the times.

When 2 of your biggest members talked about this in the past 6 months it means something is changing internally, and not necessarily for the better. And if Cover changed their goals than it's fine, but they shouldn't take it for granted that every members will like the changes and keep going with them. If we take everything Coco said at face value and she is really only graduating because of creative differences and not because of any rrat Narukami is spreading around, then this is a mostly positive thing, but there will be more graduations in the future due to same same circumstances. And that's not really different than idol graduation, which is absolutely fine. But it is rather depressing seeing Cover going the sanitized route when a lot of the initial interest came from those early and more chaotic streams. Suisei is my oshi and I'm more into the music side of things, but what does the change in how Cover does things will mean for the musically focused members? Will they try to steer them to a single musical genre? Will any potential candidate be turn down if they like stuff like metal, funk, jazz or generally non-idol songs? Situations like that put in question how the company will move forward in more than one area, and right now we can't say those changes will make things 100% better.

He's not delusional, just exaggerating and slightly retarded. He's not really all that wrong, anyway.

EN Gen 0 was caught in the crossfire and suffered the consequences. Coco's graduation might have been because she wanted to be edgy, but EN gen 0 was stopped because Taiwan. If Taiwan didn't happen, we'd have EN Gen 0, EN gen 2, and probably ES gen 1.

I'm surprised that Coco actually wanted to go forward with the idea of HoloES too and that now is her biggest regret that it didn't happen. I'm not sure if doing Duolingo streams was the best way to test the waters but it at least showed that there was a market there. At this point I wonder if it would even be worth it, spanish humor is way too exclusive to their original countries.

But you don't have to like her to see her contributions to all of Hololive over the past year. In reality, any of the ones you listed would be bad, but Coco was on another level and her departure is symbolic of the direction the company is heading towards.

[Anonymous No.]

Oh wow, whoda thunk the simplest explanation would actually be the right one: Coco was tired of mocking Hololive for being antiquated and putting out endless “wholesome” garbage like Shiny Smily Story, and decided to go back to streaming as an indie with no limiters. But hey, at least she was a standup enough girl to get 6+ other streamers fired and half of Hololive’s international revenue streams nuked before quitting because she made her millions and was bored.
It’ll become increasingly obvious as time goes on that Coco, while a very talented streamer loved by her coworkers, was only ever in it for the money and thought the Hololive project was overly sanitized children’s programming. She had no respect for the project’s goal and thought Yagoo was a dork for wanting to build his open source anime harem. She quit for one reason and one reason only: she had enough money to retire and do whatever she wanted for the rest of your life.
And Taiwan is a country.

Mori is getting restricted because the first thing she tried to do was collab with big time 3dpd streamers and influencers. Yeah, the big timers in JP do collabs with bigger names like sugita occasionally, but the emphasis is on occasionally, with the main bit of their content being other vtubers. They've also proven their mettle many times over, so to speak; no one thinks FBK or comet are going to do something stupid or make a botched collab. Ya boi has been hammering on trying to do it from day one to the point where her other content suffers, then publically getting annoyed about it being denied. You have to walk before you can run, which is something I thought she would have understood given how long she had to grind before making it. Before I get accused of being chinese, an anti, or a chinese anti, I'm not defending cover, here. They are too restrictive and too focused on the idol thing when they should be more focused on promoting their idols as idols and letting the others do their own thing, and it's definitely going to bite them in the ass, but just because cover is retarded doesn't mean the streamers can't also be retarded sometimes.

>>4955929
She's chafing under covers dumb restrictions, is all. It's eating away at her on one end, and on the other end she's addicted to apex and her audience definitely isn't, so numbers are slowly dropping.

>>4955933
Vshojo in general is gonna be a bit of a mess. Can't collab with melody for obvious reasons, nyanners is going to be a drama magnet for obvious reasons, froot is an actual scamming cheater who will draw in even more drama, etc. The worst would probably be veibae. I kind of agree with pretty much everything she said about covers model of business being shit for the streamers, but it's not entirely without benefits, and she was kind of a bitch about it. Which I don't mind, but cover giving someone a collab after she spits in their face is probably a little much to expect.

There's a clip where a SC confronts her about not being as horny as she used to be. She answered by saying "You can't tell me what to do, and if you don't like it, go away". My rrat is that she was venting on her SCer because of her frustration with Cover, but she manages to put up with it because she's still one of the faces of Hololive. And also because she's a disgusting fujo irl who could never find a proper job outside of hololive.

Not sure about growing, but money wise absolutely. Some of them have 8k+ subs and that's not even counting higher tier ones. That's a minimum of 16k a month just from subs and assuming their contracts with twitch are all the minimum (which they likely aren't), and that's before bits, merch, youtube revenue, and other sources such as clipper accounts that might be paying them off as well (Something Dr. Disrespect and Tim the Tatman are known to do to let clippers profit off their content). Compared to that, Holo girls are losing a MASSIVE cut due to Jap taxes and their contracts with Holo.

As far as money goes, I have no doubt that VShojos take home more than most of the Holos do, or are on the fast track to do so.

I didn't knew Ayame was a thing until very recently. I fucking hate current Holomanagement and I hate how A chan is made into a hero. Not Yagoo, but A Chan. You can blame redditors for making Yagoo into a character but my rrat is that making A chan into a "thing" started more or less at the same time as the restrictions for the talent.

[Anonymous No.]

It’s easy to imagine Coco saying “screw the agencies” abpnd just hanging up her own shingle as a creative consultant/guru for streamers trying to break into the business or grow their channels.

Look at, say, Mochizuki Himari, who dropped $60K on generic-ass social media marketing trying to do the idol thing—but now you can go to an insider who has first-hand knowledge of the business. That’d be the smart move.

Hololive as a whole entity is by far more profitable than Vshoujo but I can see Vshoujo being more profitable per girl on average than Hololive could ever be due to the reasons you stated below.
But I also think its likely more variable than Hololive. The pay disparity between the top and lowest earner of each company would be higher with Vshoujo than Hololive. For example, even the lesser known hololive talents will get pay from sponsorships the whole company manages like 7-11, bundling them with gen anniversary merch and other small things that Hololive has access to by being a much bigger entity than Vshoujo is in the places that matter.

Apply Occam's razor at least once in your life, please.

They're entirely different though. Holo is an actual corp, they will seek out sponsorships and run events and shit. Vshojo doesn't do anything it's just "yeah okay you're still a streamer like you were before, basically nothing has changed except we'll handle your legal issues, probably models, and very occasionally arrange some weak ass panel".
There is a middle ground to be had, where they still arrange events regularly, still seek sponsorships, but also do not be retards who try to micromanage and control what each girl gets to do, how they act or trying to force them to be fucking copies of irl idols who sing and dance. In the long run, vshojo won't realistically lose anyone because they don't create shit situations they want out of by forcing them to do things they don't want to do. Holo will continue to lose people because they're trying to force people into generic molds who don't want to be in them, who's fans don't want to see that shit and it isn't the reason they're liked, and at the expense of the content both that the girls like to make and fans like them for in the first place.
Bottom line as always, corps are retarded, managers don't have a fucking clue what they're doing or have any idea about the market whatsoever, and their jobs are completely pointless and detrimental to absolutely everyone.
