HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Fallen Rib
All the 5th gen new collabs are really good so far. I checked out Coco+Omaru bomb defusal which was insane, and now Im checking out Botan+Watame playing overcooked its great.

HololiveEN are really interesting because like Coco said they are PROS. I'm wondering where you all would bucket them if you think of the different reasons you might watch a vtuber. Like Botan is actually hella good at FPS, so you're not watching her to get frustrated like Pekora. Gura is cute+ditzy and can sing. Mori so far is just kinda, cool? Which makes sense she's a rapper and has a huskier voice. Ame has had the tightest gameplay so far. Ina is super chill down tempo and can obviously pull out a drawing stream any time she wants and make something amazing. Kiara can sing but hasnt gotten a chance to play any games yet.

Also spoilers for Kiara her other accounts are still active and one of her strengths actually can't be used as a vtuber, she's a huge cosplayer. I find that her choice to go to vtuber very interesting!

If a Vtuber has a history as a content creator then I can understand wanting to investigate that out of curiosity, but please keep it to yourself.

Actually I've been wondering if you pay VAT off the superchat amount too, before YouTube's share. Depending on where you send from or where the payment card belongs or something else perhaps.
In a masterful display of tax lawyership, Google have managed to secure an exemption by arguing that superchats add absolutely no value to anything.

So the second stream with all five of the EN members will be on Kiara's channel, on Sunday.

I wonder if that had already been planned (probably, honestly) or if it's on her's because she's the only one under 200k subs.

I understand wanting to know who the people are behind the scenes because the world sucks and I don't want to unknowingly support someone who has some not so good opinions and takes on current events. This doesn't apply to the JP branch because I can't read that so if they did I wouldn't know.

Still, real names is a no go, and going hard on where they live ect is very bad.

Doxxing is bad, but if some english vtuber was on their other twitter account going off on trans people or whatever I'd want to know so I could not watch them.

Doxxing is universally bad because it very quickly grows out of control and you end up with stuff like the doxxing target committing suicide because of the constant harassment, their family getting doxxed and similarly harassed and so on.

Yeah it can and does get out of hand, and I'm not calling for background checks on everyone. I'm just torn between not wanting to support bad people and also not wanting people to get doxxed and harassed.

I'm not looking for any of the HoloEN's past accounts myself, but I definitely get wanting to check out more content they've made. A few years ago I got really into a youtuber who just a few weeks beforehand deleted ~95% of all their past content. Not because of anything serious, just that they didn't feel it was up to their standard of content any more. It was incredibly painful as a new fan to have to just watch a few clips from random compilations from other accounts (of which there weren't that many anyway since this wasn't a hugely popular youtuber that attracted leechers trying to game views through those kinds of videos), especially since I found several of them even more fun than what said youtuber was putting out at that time too.

I guess this was a bit of a tangent but to bring it back, I really get why a new fan would see like 5 videos worth of content, hear that they used to make a ton of content under a different pseudonym, and desperately want to watch it. I still think the no doxxing rule is more important myself, but a lot of new fans don't even know why that's off-limits until they're told so it's not strange that you see a lot of people ignoring that rule.

i thought the split was 30% from youtube, then it's 50 for hololive 30 for talent.

I like that a few of the other hololivers decided that they should flex their english skills now that HoloEN is blowing up. Wonder if this will peel some of the english viewers off their streams. There are so many members of hololive now that you can't keep up with all of them.

No, someone misread the half thing and immediately thought that 50% went to Cover. Google takes 30% and cover takes half of whats left. So 35%/35% split between the girl and the company.

We're assuming it's 30% from YouTube, then 50% of the remainder is split between Hololive and the talent, so 35%/35%.

Edit: It took her over 10 minutes to scroll all the way back to her first SC.

it's wild they got monetized so quickly. I wonder if that's some kind of english speaking bias on youtubes part or something? or if it's mostly up to hololive wanting to strike while the iron is hot.

makes sense though. gura like almost poked into mainstream internet memes and they have all gotten a ton of recognition. makes sense to jump on it as soon as possible.

YouTube is probably paying attention to Cover as an agency and giving them some direct support in some way. With how large superchat numbers they pull they may as well get fast tracked.
