General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

i like how it feels like Subaru playing passive-aggressive, rather than panicking she just embrace it more with this Sausage Legend stream.

but come to my rrat that Subaru just doing it on purpose when talking about being membership of Okayu using her private account. just to make a secondary plan if she ever leaves Holo, she can start her own thing like KSON.

because a couple of hours before i saw Subaru leak in here, i saw this clip

at first, it's a weird rule to apply and i thought "wtf they won't be allowed it? scared of competition much?"
then reading one of the comments saying its those jp Corpo related stuff that, all supachat JP liver have their account connected to the company's credit card, while outside JP they are individual it makes more sense (although idk how accurate it is, so correct me if i wrong).

Then yeah why does Subaru need to announce she wants to join Okayu membership using her private account?
it could be the dense part of Subaru to announce it but either way, now knowing her roomate, she can have backup plan like matsuri, kson, or notrushia if she decided to be a streamer again.
That Hololive members aren't allowed to be membered to each other has been known for awhile. I think Ame really early on, I'm talking when they got their monetization and their first member streams were happening, mentioned using an alt account to member to Gura. But I'm sure no one went through the trouble of arduously checking every single new member, plus everyone already knew who she was so wasn't much sense in it. And I think the reasoning is fairly simple, to dissuade favoritism. If a Hololive Member is membered to one channel and not the other, imagine the rrats. And it'd also be fairly visible if they ever spoke in chat. That being said, I'm sure Ame and Subaru aren't the only people who use alts.

What does support your rrat is why literally not use a throwaway account? I'm not putting her on the same pedestal as Ame when it comes to knowing how the internet works, but even someone remotely tech-savvy would be smart enough just to use a burner account that isn't connected to anything.
 

you better unsub right the fuck now!
Lmao she just passed 999k.

You severely underestimate how incompetent non-tech-savvy people can be. Exhibit A: Rushia.

EDIT: Aaaaaand passed while singing High Tide.

EDIT: Huh, some people are actually unsubscribing now, 1.000.360 -> 330 -> 300 -> 210 -> 80 -> 999.880

EDIT: And back up to a peak of 1.000.490, looks like she'll have to find something to do in the end lmao.

Lol, HoloID's issue has never been that there haven't been enough eyes on them, or that their talents are underappreciated. Their lowest-subbed member has over half a million subs and two of them are at 1m for crying out loud.

Most of ID1's post-boom viewers were people who wanted English-speaking Hololive members. ID2 rode the wave of HoloMyth all the way up until IRyS and Council took the attention away. The overwhelming Western fanbase makes it so that they get a huge initial boost and then completely flatline as their job as a stopgap between EN generations is fulfilled.

Not to say there's any problem with their growth so far or anything like that, but there's no reason to pretend that HoloID have been some untouched gem no one was aware of until HoloFes. They're all massive industry names regardless of what branch they're affiliated with. Their issue is who their audience really is and who they're competing against and that won't change unless the Indonesian government mandates their people have a quota of weekly ID streams to meet.
 
Replies not in order.


My thoughts:
- Before I watched the video, just from looking at the pics here and seeing people go "secret agent, blacksmith, rain shaman" I figured out which was which. Very different from what I thought about Noctyx and Uproar's designs.
- After the kobokan thing I'll find it very difficult to say rain shaman's name properly. Kobokan is too fun to say.
- When Council and HoloX were announced I remember thinking that Hololive already had a cosy dynamic and I wasn't sure I wanted change. (My opinion changed; see my title lol). This time I want to see what they've got.




Is Kaela going to be a penguin in lore? On one hand Reine was hoping for a fellow HoloID bird. On the other hand Kiara will have to call yet another Holotori meeting lol.
Will they grant Kaela the rank of Holotori?
