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

My dad works at Cover and he says that Haato hasn't been blowing enough Chinese guys so they have to sack her sorry you had to find out like that.

If you're all gonna have anxiety attacks over each announcement and be looking over your shoulder all the time with the fear of someone quitting you might want to reevaluate and take a step back. It sucks people quit but think about 3 years from now and who'll even still be there.
While I understand the point being made here, I think we have to consider that this is the first time that a graduation has happened on this scale. This is also compounded by the fact that V-tubing is just catching on with an English audience so this entire event carries just an extra punch then usual.
 
Global all-time SC's rankings.

Kanata has reached 1 Million USD in SC revenue. Korone and Flare are right behind with ~ 900k

Good to see Coco will leave at the top of the world.
Look at her now. From someone who was told she "leech off" Coco, to a proud owner of SC leader board. She's truly Coco partner in crime. People are starting to visioning Kanata as the next "leader" of the 4th gen too, which I found very fitting. She do struggle a lot and innovate on a lot of thing. She have that mental strength need to withstand life hardship, while also kind and understanding of others woe. It maybe bit rude to think she'll be a replacement, but Coco's shoe is a big one to fill, and I think she suit it the most. Sorry for being a bit sappy. Still doesn't recovered from Coco's Secret Base.

A bit more on Luna. Coco meet her today on the recording for 4th gen original song. Apparently, Luna come and grasp her hand and said "I don't want this!" in her nanora voice. which is what I can see happening really. Coco think Luna still doesn't entirely believe she's graduating, so she spend sometime after work to properly sit her down and have the talk. She would have tell more of the story, but it got interrupted by a joke and end like that. Wish Luna all the best.

Haachama indefinite hiatus. Let's be real, she need it since the time she came back from Australia. Jump back to Japan and rush into Hololive 2nd Fes, then New Year events, then a lot of lore stuff, then the "new rules" that blow up, the break, the return, another break. The 1st gen concert. All this with adjusting back to being in Japan and attending university. And then one of her best friend is graduating from reason vaguely related to you. Not to mention July is exam season. The fact that she doesn't just go away silently like last time is already show her growth. Both Kanata and Watame already talk with her and they both say not to worry. No reason to come up with speculation at this point.

Now this could be a banger stream, far as I can tell this is the biggest JP collab Ina has done so far, wonder if she be ultra seiso during it like ame does.

So far this is becoming a group English lesson for the other 3 and it fucking funny. They somehow become addicted the word Shiny from Ina. It rather cute
Shiny is sometime read as “shine” or “die” by Japanese girls (look up Taketatsu Ayana pronounce shine for reference)
 
Haachama's break is definitely understandable. I don't even know how one could continue streaming, especially with content like hers that's not just gaming, and continue going through university. Still, I'm off archiving more stuff I guess shrugs
The reasons Coco gave for graduating have also dampened down the uproar for a lot of people too I think. Good thing she chose to disclose more as opposed to keeping it a secret, but it really is disappointing that Cover chose the safer route as their future direction. Who knows what we're missing with them shooting down their talents' ideas.

Don't know about you guys but seeing Marine fail intaking water funniest is shit I've seen all day. Her character of being a pirate as well just makes a bit better.

The more you know, I might actually remember this. Cheers for sharing.
 
Guys, those superchat numbers are impressive and all, but I wouldn't qualify them as "Rich". For example, Kanata. 1M in superchats. Cut in %60 from Superchats and Hololive (if not more) That's 400K left. Plus income tax, which Japan is known to have some of the highest in the world. I've checked a stat and it's probably around %30 on that. That's 280K left. Probably after other taxes, let's round around 250-260K plus merch.

260K may be a lot if you are a scrub living on Govt. Giros but that's nothing if you want to buy a property in any major city in the world. You'd get laughed out of New York, California, or Austin. In Tokio, that at one time was the most expensive real estate in the world, you are a fucking lice if that's all you've got to show. (And other major Japanese cities aren't much better).

So no, that's not rich by any standards, and yes, while you won't starve; look at her situation. She has to "room" with Coco, which as well as they may get along, is not what a rich person would do if they could afford either property, or renting alone even. And they still live like Hikkikomoris with frugality because the cost of living is so ridiculous. So no, I don't think most Hololives are rich by any standard.
 
Coco graduating and Haachama's "indefinite hiatus" the same week?
This is like steroids for my schizophrenia! SOON I WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE! EVEN THE STRONGEST MEDS QUIVER AND USELESSLY DISSOLVE IN MY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM!

This one isn't even a mouse, im pretty sure it happened.
 
Would Gori-tan continue with shitpost review?
I can't see someone that can't speak English being able to do the shitpost reviews, since most of the material comes from reddit. Unless Kanata partners up with someone from EN, shitpost reviews are probably over, since anyone else trying to do them would be seen as "fucking over" Kanata who already mentioned it.

You are forgetting another source of income for the girls in this; youtube memberships.
I do agree with you that they probably aren't made by any metric, though.

Not to mention they also get a base pay from Hololive, on top of SC cuts, YT Memberships, merch revenues (though they do have to invest on those ones) and ad partnerships (Botan and Aqua Red Bull sponsorship). Also while Tokyo can be expensive, it could very well be that they live in the outskirts of Tokyo and from what I heard, cost of living isn't so bad outside of Tokyo. Heck, even within Tokyo it's not as bad compared to LA or Vancouver.

EDIT: Meanwhile in an alternate universe:

I'm sure those soures of income are all taxed to high heaven. Both by HL's cut and by the government. Still, let's go with an exagerated 100K more? That's around 350K for Kanata. That'll buy you the shitiest of flats in the outskirts of major cities (probably not even that). And we haven't considered living costs each month to deduct from that or how much they help their families.

If you guys remember when Coco talked about paying her niece medical school as suggested by her sister, she wasn't like "Oh yeah, sure." She was like "I don't even know if I'll be able in the future.. Please let my sister take even more money from me."


She could just be a penny pincher tho.

Oh and this beautiful clip starts at "Two and a half million dollars"

I don't think anyone suggests that they are set for life with what they've made so far. But complaining about taxes applying on Superchats and memberships and all that jazz is kind of weird to me, it's not like regular jobs don't get taxed. And if they get enough to put them into the highest/2nd highest tax bracket I am fairly sure they are doing well for themselves.
Especially when you consider their living situation before Hololive

Edit:
As an additional note i find it rather funny how both Calli and Kiara say that the other one responsible for how well the tutorial session went
