Normally a bankrupt company would just auction the assets and take whatever they can get, but when there's only one possible buyer that doesn't really work. "List price for this kind of model" seems reasonably fair, or you could argue for halving it to split the difference (since they're worth 0...

That's exactly the kind of guy who you'd expect to get that kind of position. He's paid his cosplaying dues, he looks generally nonthreatening, also the other thing.

I heard this in my head to the tune of marimari underscore ee en's "a grand day out" cover. It almost scans.

Those companies do things that you have to be big to do. Other than marketing, you can get everything you need to vtube within one person's credit card limit; with the current market new corpos spend a huge amount on advertising, but that's partly because there are still hundreds of them. So...

Doesn't make much difference whether they pay a dividend, do a buyback, or just let the stock appreciate - economically it's all the same. Some of it may go to talents and/or management if they have a revenue split and/or sales commission/bonus, but ultimately profit mostly gets to the...

I just mean that Fauna was already able to leave Hololive and take most of her fans with her. Same with Aqua. There will always be retards who can't read the room. It's time to mitigate them rather than hoping they go away on their own. It's not ideal. But it's tolerable. The industry wouldn't...

We're in that world already - just look at Fauna - I just wish everyone be honest about it rather than nudge-wink bullshit. Corpos would still be viable as long as they're pulling their weight. We might see more 1-year non-competes (which is always a starting point for negotiation, not the end...

But you must realise by now that she won't. Because as a matter of history if you look back at Kizuna Ai that's exactly what it is? Some people get some benefit from using a stage name and/or hiding their faces, sure, and I've got nothing against them doing that if they want (though I still...

I mean like Ironmouse or Airi where so much of their content is just about how tragic their life is and people become fans out of pity. I'm drawing a parallel with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misery_lit . Not something I enjoy in my entertainment, if someone's life is miserable then I hope...

You're the guy who plays nonstop dad rock at the barbecue and when someone wants to put on something different you say they "don't like real music". I like plenty of vtubers, including some that are in the particular corner that you like and some that aren't, you're the one who's taking issue...

Honestly I don't get why this is such a big deal. Are they really at so much more risk of stalking than your average animé VA? Obviously it makes it harder for a corpo to control their talents, but when your choice is that or shutting down...

Wait until you hear how much the plastic in an acrylic stand is worth. I'm sure there's a significant markup, but even ignoring the whole vtuber merch part entirely it's normal for a tin of teabags to cost maybe twice what the contents would cost as bulk loose leaf.

Of course it's not 100% reliable. Neither is conventional pregnancy. The brutal fact is that about 1 in 7 women are infertile, even if you make having children your sole goal in life you won't necessarily succeed. The US corporation is yes. But it's in no-one's interest for the restaurants to...

Honestly respect to her for not doing that.

You're probably thinking of Skye Shinryu -> Admyra Wyvernhart?

She's also memed as an idiot. In one of the game manuals she was labelled as "⑨: Baka". And see e.g.

Is this a subtle fat joke?

Coomer content is dark matter, you don't see it but it's like 60% of the universe. My oshi is and has always been indie. I started watching at least two/three holos because I enjoyed their indie vtubing, and there are other vtubers I knew as IRL idols etc. first. Good managers and support staff...

You could've just said member of phase connect.

She's an extremely good interpreter. Like, I've worked with good-quality professional interpreters who couldn't translate slang and meme comments that smoothly on the fly, and she did it while being a fully active participant in the collabs. (I honestly think part of the reason Kiara got hated...
