Make sure to read the comment section, there is a pinned one with lots of additional tidbits.
One of the highly voted comments also spawned a thread discussing how large a share of the SC actually goes to the talent. Here one links to another stream by Coco at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY5Omc7TwzA&t=593 where she directly says that Cover Corp takes 50% of the payout from YouTube, leaving about 35% to her. Someone else in the thread also mentions that the "corporate takes everything and pays everyone a fixed salary" model is employed by Nijisanji, but doesn't provide a source.

she doesnt say cover take 50%, she pays a huge amount in taxes. she pays way more because she is a foreigner.

she does say she got around 35% after taxes. it one of the reasons she was pushing for them to use streamlabs instead of youtube since youtube take 30

What I hear:
先ずYouTubeに多分30 percentぐらい取られて、それくらいかな、あれは課されてないんですよ。その後事務所に半分分だから、そんだから多分ですけど35 percent三十五パーセントぐらいかなと私は持てます。
I can't interpret the underlined part any other way than "after that the office takes half", and that also matches with the figure of 35% remaining for herself. She doesn't talk about taxes here.


By the way, it appears the official line on why YouTube takes 30% of superchats is that they consider it as purchasing an ad placement on the live stream. (I think there might also be some behind-the-scenes reasoning for avoiding them being considered a banking institution and having to worry about money laundering laws. That's just my own speculation, no basis in anything.)

Twitch takes roughly 30% from bit donations I think, it wouldn't make much monetary sense for youtube not to do the same for superchats.

50% of whats left after youtubes 30% cut would make sense, would line up with what other vtubers have said about nijisanji etc

she talks about taxes in another video but she gets whacked with a ton, its hard to find sources on this stuff because cover are incompetent and privated a poo poo ton of her videos

heres something interesting too

when they first introduced bits some streamers made it so the minimum you could donate on their channel was 10000 (like 200 AUD) to discourage their use, that didn’t last long

Theres no point in using bits anyways unless you want a special badge on the channel since 9/10 people just donate for the text to speech. Twitch figured out that incentivizing people buying subscriptions for other users is more profitable.

Nobody really talks about Towa which is a shame, because she's pretty great.

She's sort of low-key, and her collabs with the more forward personalities have been great.

Her whole character is being a devil, but she's the worst at it and is probably one of the most wholesome of all of Hololive.

Yeah, Towa was the Vtuber that got into trouble because there was a ~male voice~ at the end of one of her streams and she panicked and lied that it was a CoverCorp employee. The result was a nice little harassment campaign, CoverCorp forcing her to do a public apology and her Japanese viewer count tanking. The whole thing is a reminder that despite everything, Vtubers (or at least Hololive Vtubers) are not that far off from idols, at least as far as Japanese audience is concerned.

At the same time, she got boost of popularity from foreign viewers, which together with the drop from Japanese viewers lead to her being the Hololive member with the highest ratio of foreign viewers/subscribers/superchats, etc. She is not as clippable as someone like Pekora or Haachama, but she is pretty chill and a legit good FPS player, so I recommend watching her stream sometimes. The chat is like 80% English too.

Ah I read about that but didn't realize it was towa. I feel bad for these people tbh. Idol poo poo in japan is honestly pretty gross and so incredibly controlling.

Most likely, she's always looking for long-rear end cinematic games to comment on.

I enjoy A-Chan and wish she had a channel but her and Korone co-op Biped "mina mina mina shut up", the OkaKoro/Suisei karaoke shock good singing voice, and any flat gags are very good.

She's also literally staff and seems to work very hard and is always loving tweeting.
