These girls STARTED as indies and applied to join Hololive once auditions came up. A lot of them were either non-vtuber content creators or already vtubers, some of the JP members are ex-idols, a few of the original JP members actually have Hololive as their first real job, as they auditioned during their senior years of high school.
There are a lot of reasons why someone would want to go corporate, but some easy reasons are for boosted reach, a built-in audience that will support you, not having to handle merch yourself and more funds to do certain projects that would be very expensive to do as an independent vtuber. There's also just always having people to do collab streams with in the other members of your agency, but these girls have mostly already been content creators and wanted to join Hololive.
The girls also make a lot of money, but a lot of the girls put that money basically right back into their streams/content, but others save more.
I'm just going to say we agree to disagree, mostly because most corpo vtubers have been doxxed for ages, and with that information, along with everything that's been revealed over the past year, and how easily for example people abandoned Elira Pandora after the infamous 'black screen stream', that's the one thing the vtuber audience is actually somewhat good at, being able to tell whose being a lying bitch or not.
I'm pretty sure I've said this before on another one of these posts, but because of the literal structure of vtubing, models instead of faces, actually having to play the games and not just focus the camera on T&A, etc, the people behind the avatar have to put some semblance of who they actually are into their streams or else they'd be caught in lies constantly, like Pokimane was about her boyfriend, as an example.
Enough of them use their non-corporate accounts and have those videos still up for the viewer to check that stuff out. Do I think everyone's a saint? No, especially a lot of indies, who are the 1-2views (4chan terminology for how many digits are in the viewer count) with badly rigged models you mention in that other comment, but a lot of the bigger ones have had their pasts gone through with a fine tooth comb, which is why I have the belief that I do that at least a large portion of them are not as duplicitous as the Twitch thots.
He's also assuming that female vtubers are just as duplicitous as the Twitch thots, and at least corpo vtubers definitely aren't. In fact, Cover actively screens against bitchiness and that sort of nonsense in order to prevent another Uruha Rushia from being hired ever again.
The ruling class of 1824 looks nothing like the ruling class of 1924, looks nothing like the ruling class of 2024.
To be fair about specifically the ruling class of 1924, most of those people's descendants chose to fuck off, or are silently members of the 'own nothing and be happy' group. Some of them, like Henry Ford's relatives, just own sports teams, as IIRC, Henry had the Ford Foundation essentially stolen from him before his death.
The rumor on T_D is that apparently what Trump is trying to do is convince Johnson to call for a recess in the House, and when the Senate refuses, Trump then can use Article 2, Section 3 to force a recess and make the long overdue recess appointments.
Dunno if that has any legs, but I like it if that's what the gameplan is.
Adam Lanza’s dead, or at least the official story is dead, so unless you’d want them to go after the gun manufacturers, this is all they can do.
Not saying I want them to at all, this is awful, but this is literally all they can do if they choose to still obsess over it.
To be clear, because I’ve been gone overnight;
I personally believe that the massacre actually happened, mostly because with the research I actually did do on it way back when, and with the actual pictures of ambulances and context of things like reading about how medics wait for police to secure the location before going in, while I don’t believe that this was fake, I’m not interested enough in this to argue that.
One thing I do think everyone should do more is question the ‘conspiracy theories’. Mostly because while PraiseBeToScience is massively downvoted, one thing I did take from all that is that the most logically consistent series of events is most likely what happened.
The ‘conspiracy theory’ of Vegas shooting is that it was a botched hit on the Saudi royal family because they were staying in that hotel, but at least to me, I don’t understand why if they were successful, that people would see that as anything other than the US assassinating them. That’s why I simply gave up on trying to explain that and just mourn the victims of that shooting

The difference between Hololive JP and Hololive DEV_IS is that first, the lore for the avatars of the DEV_IS talents is much more grounded as they're just humans in the modern world, and second, the focus of DEV_IS is music creation, to where they're musicians that stream instead of streamers that are also idols.
One of the few actually useful usages of the old block system is actually for vtubers lol.
Vtubers know that people are going to make porn of their avatars, so a large number of vtubers who don't like the idea of seeing porn of their avatars asked the porn artists to block them, because then they wouldn't be able to see said porn artists' posts. Because there's a massive amount of people who post art of vtubers, the vtuber doesn't have the time to actually go looking for every porn artist and blocking them, especially the corporate ones.
The problem is NASCAR used to be bigger than the NFL before the 2008 recession and they’re constantly trying to chase the ghost of that, but don’t understand why they keep losing viewers, or they do understand and are being super stubborn about it
The drivers hate the playoff format, the owners hate it and the fans hate it, it's literally just the people that run NASCAR that like it, and the only thing that I think will change things is MJ and Denny Hamlin's lawsuit.
LOL no. Most of these girls have been doxxed and they're actually girls behind the screen, at least all of the big ones, corpo and indie.
