I think it's a good strat for both them and the vtubers. They get to make money off already-known talents, and the talents get to have at least better viewership than if they were to become indie.

I don't know about box pushing, but VShojo is already a relatively famous vtuber corpo and is often associated with a Western audience and Twitch. Ironmouse is still carrying the corpo name and that props up everyone else in it. The average "fan" is a numberfag who will only watch their oshi if their numbers are high. Also, these fans aren't diehard fans. They're not gonna watch Nina if she goes indie and became a 2view with no budget for a live concert or cover songs. They want the production value associated with corpos. I don't know how much of that VShojo offers, though, but surely better than flying solo as a broke indie.

I think the poaching and retirement home accusations are a way of coping with the fact that no already successful content creator wants to join either of the other two big corpos at this point. Hololive's ideal gen contains people the size of Myth PLs. Not a single holofag complained when Yagoo hired HER instead of "propping up a 2view and introducing us to new talent". They were hyped as fuck, as they should be. Now look at them. The same thing happening to someone else makes them mad. Only difference is that it's not their team now. And Niji is probably the same idk I don't watch them.

There was discussion in the roach debut stream about whether or not people felt "betrayed" by the fact that there were tearful goodbyes and shit during the final streams in Niji.
Someone in the threads said
>Blame the stupid vtubing culture of reincarnations and past lives and wink wink nudge nudges about identity.

What do you fags think of that? Personally I think the culture works in japan since they're autismal about privacy and even the ephemerality of things. Graduations do genuinely feel like they're mainly goodbyes to the character, plus there's cultural impetus for them because of japanese pop culture (girl groups and shit).
Ostensibly, it doesn't seem to translate as well into the western scene.
Then again, we could also just be looking at an abnormal period of time and assuming it's the way things actually are. NijiEN was pretty tumultuous compared to everything else after all, and I can barely think of more than a handful of intercorp "poaches" in the jp scene. There's Polka from 774 and Luna from NijiJP, and Met to vspo from 774 but she kept her model and channel.

It's simple, VShojo had the appeal those people that left their current positions and went for another one, same happened with those other 3, they didn't want to still be under VShojo for their own reasons, and got themselves a better position in Mythic. It just makes sense, some other talents don't find it appealing, if VShojo was this mega genius corpo, why haven't they stole someone else?

Here is my biggest question. How is Vshojo the company making any significant amount of money? Supposedly they are only taking merch cuts, but at what percentage? It must be on the low end or else Kson would be in a tizzy. However if its a low cut then it means the company itself might be operating in the red.

It has always been assumed to be a decent cut (probably around 50) from each member around sponsorship and merch, also it's a few dudes in one office in San Fransisco, even their merch is a partnership with a production company. As someone from VSJ, I have heard the talents speak about projects that were commissioned by themselves, things like songs and obviously models that are up to the talent's desires, shit like the concert probably was also funded by them and not so much VShojo, but, businesses and partnerships are still done by VShojo, basically they do the heavy duty of sitting through details for the most part, do contacts, promote shit, schedule shit for them, things that do not require a lot of cost.

And? Why shouldn't a company hire its competitors forner employees if possible? That's capitalism.

Kinda feels like when a small studio is paying old actors to appear in lots of low budget things or fund their passion projects. Sometimes it ends up being cool. But there is just this feeling of the heyday is over, so they're either scrambling to stay relevant or just chilling do what they feel like. Overall you know its not where anything big or exciting that really shapes the industry is gonna happen.

Right now, Vshojo is very different from Hololive and Nijisanji.
Both Anycolor and Cover are publicly traded. They need to appease their shareholders.
Vahojo is private and owned by Gunrun. Vshojo just needs to satisfy Gunrun and I'm not even sure he wants money from it.
About their strategy of poaching from NijiEN, it's smart. They weaken a rival and increase their perceived value. If their value is real, then the poached talents will sing praises to their friends in Nijisanji. If Mika or someone else close to Kuro or Mataran goes to Vshojo, then it means this strategy works

If what you say is true, which it isn't, that's pathetic for the talents.

They took 10 million USD in VC funds. They have squandered it, produced nothing new to this artform. Maybe some of it's still left, or perhaps they conned another investor.

Still not sure why it's bad. You do realize that even if they were hiring 2views you still wouldn't have a chance, right? For every one spot in Vshojo/Niji/Holo has there's hundreds if not thousands of other 2views that would KILL to get that position.
>N-n-nepo hire!
It's called networking, you lazy retards. You could probably breach 100 CCV if you were capable of doing that.

These are the reasons I still can't trust them for shit, they need to come transparent and explain how much do they exactly take away from merch. No, I don't want to hear it from the sellout bitch who improvised a speech for their fans days after joining them, I want Gunrun to move his ass and explain it himself, it's been years.

I love how they had to get rid of their talent freedom tag just after one year of letting women do what they want
