Here is an interview done with Anime News Network where he talks about Breaking Dimensions, talent-manager interactions and exposure of Hololive to normies/the mainstream audience: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2024-10-04/bringing-hololive-to-the-u.s-an-with-motoaki-tanigo-ceo-of-cover-corp/.215676
On a side note, outside of Hololive, VShojo's Matara Kan is now a member of a mainstream talent agency, William Morris Endeavor: https://x.com/MataraKan/status/1846340762495004849
This is the same Endeavor that owns WWE and UFC, so the mainstreamification of vtubing is all but inevitable in my opinion, it's up to the current audience to not allow tourists to ruin it.
Might as well listen to a chatbot talking. In fact AI/LLMs will be doing all of this soon and will become good at it.
Rip u/lethn who would chime in to tell me not to buy into the doomsday AI hype. :'(
Eh, the only cause AI will take over is that most of it is not any good. That and the increasing retardation of people ensure standards are low.
When I say "doing all this" I mean there will be AI versions in all fields: vtubers, streaming, ethots, etc. Not that AI will replace all vtubers. Sheesh.
