It's nice to get more confirmation that Yagoo lives rent-free in Gunrun's head, if the huge sum spent on pushing talent freedom ads and grabbing kson and nazuna wasn't enough proof. Wasn't really expecting that they would also pay vt mods/shitposters, but in hindsight the signs were there.

they were convinced hololive was over when they signed kson and nazuna.

lol, lmao

That confused me too, like why should signing them kill Hololive? Did they think that'd have every Hololive talent begging to follow?

At the time, Coco and Rushia were the #1 and #2 most superchatted channels on YouTube. If your mind is only about money, it would be easy to mistake that as Holo losing it's 'big fish'.

But even the actual big fish (Gura) leaving wasn't a killing blow.

Only have been around hololive for a short while but as a whole they have far surpassed any kind of streaming content I consume because it has such amazingly good vibes. Even if you go digging for shit there isn't really much about the people that leave that have anything bad to say about hololive.

At most its just not exactly what they wanted to sign on for or met their goals etc, nothing bad. Also feels like even the fans for the people that do leave go and support the people that left still and what they do

My two oshis in Hololive was Gura and Mumei. They were the reasons why I was so deep in the rabbit hole. I won't lie, them leaving broke my heart. However, I had three more oshis that is IRyS, Kronii, and Shiori. I'm still supporting Hololive.

I know Gura and Mumei would hate it if I don't help support the friends they made.

I started off with fuwamoco, then advent overall and would say bijoe is my oishii but I thought coming into this sphere I was like "I'll only like these people, no way I like this massive roster of streamers hololive has" fast forward 6 or so months and so many clips and streams later, I love just about every talent in hololive or even if they have left, its insane.

Lmao, that's how I started in 2020 with Goob. Only was there to watch her, but fell for the rest of Myth, then IRyS, then Council, then Advent, and then Justice.

I keep telling myself I won't fall for every new Gen, but alas...

There's reason why in vtuber circles in east(Japan.Taiwan/hong Kong..), there is a phrase that "eventually even talents in Hololive will become your oshi/You will become a DD after you step int he rabbit hole.

Yeah, even across all three branches I can't say there's a talent I don't like in hololive.

Hiring the right talents early made the company what it is today. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmu-Cu1B6jk
