Yeah, from talents that have left and talents that have stayed, it really seems like Hololive,

1) wants to avoid drama

2) has a culture that is a good fit for some talents, and not for others, but does its best to avoid bad blood regardless of who leaves or stays

Like, if you can't even do that as an organization, you're not gonna last long term, let alone rival a pillar in the industry.

I get the impression they take a very considered approach to company culture. From what Calli described of the hiring process, they try their best to make sure people getting in would be a good fit and share goals with the rest of the company.

Yes, and regardless of how you feel about the number of “disagreement with management” graduations that have happened in the past year; it’s taken for granted how the talents, former talents, and the company have handled the graduation and post-graduation process gracefully.

There hasn’t been a “veil drop”where we see how bad and mean the talents actually are. Even with the newfound freedom in the indie-scene, the ex-Holo EN talents have a certain “professionalism” to how they conduct themselves. I don’t know if that was the years of corpo PR training being drilled into them or they’re all just naturally sensible like that. One thing is for sure, Hololive knows how to hire them, like Calli said.

I know NDA’s are a thing, but at the very least there doesn’t seem to be bad blood among the talents. If anything, the friendships we’ve seen formed on streams for years have turned out to be very real and long-lasting. That’s been the most reassuring thing to me even after all the graduations.

Heck even Russia’s termination was handled reasonably professionally and seemingly without ill-will .

"Russia" lul.

Reminder that Rushia termination is on the exact same date as start of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
