More evidence to add the pile that Cover has lost all control over their idols and the inmates are now running the asylum :v:

e: Calli encouraging everyone to ram into her in Slither.io, not because she wants to cheat to win but because she wants a "world record, fattest snek"

e2: Ollie's Ring Fit stream was great too. Have you ever had a puppy before that doesn't get enough walks and is always bouncing off the walls? Then when you finally manage to wear them out they're all calm? That's apparently what Ollie is, hearing her talk at a normal speed, at a normal voice pitch was like watching a totally different streamer

the idol thing is an increasingly superfluous thing that i'm not sure they really even acknowledge much anymore, to the point that they're willing to hire members regardless of any vocal ability

I don't know what real life idols have you seen but vocal ability is not precisely a big deal.

Anyways, they'll eventually just introduce a Tamaki-like as the first male hololiver and go on from there.

Kiara went deep into a talk about mods and how finding one they trust and also be on call 24/7 is the biggest barrier to entry and there's not exactly a youtube mod union lying around.

I'm not sure what it is about needing moderators that are available at any time of the day. I mean, yes you need someone available at any time, but that doesn't mean you need one single person to be available at any time, you just need multiple people who can cover all times.

So then you run into the trust issue moreso, because youre now after multiple people who can mod an active chat without risk of being creepy or abusing powers. Plus you still need people to be available for whats likely to be a volunteer role. Think how toxic things get here sometimes if a mod dares to take too long to repond to a report

Volunteers aren't the way to go, Cover would need to hire multiple people to work in the physical offices. There's rarely been any corner of the internet where giving a fan/volunteer powers to moderate has turned out well

This isnt a science, thousands of independent streamers run their chats just fine (a lot of them with chats way bigger than vtubers). Most of the time hosts mod people that are active in their community and they've come to know. By nature this significantly harder for holos to do this but it CAN be done. There is 100% a managerial barrier and if they gave a gently caress they could have vetted volunteers that have interested in x,y,z hololiver moderate their channels.

And if a few people get banned erroneously, so what? In twitch you'd have people send in donations so that the host could read them saying things like "Oh I was banned, I dont even know why!" and the streamer pulls their chat history and would you look it there, a gamer word.

Most twitch moderators are not volunteers, they're friends of the streamer that have volunteered. Extremely important distinction here.

And now we're circling back to the "Youtube streamer tools suck" part of the timeloop.
Fun fact: Youtube doesn't provide a superchat view. From the technical fuckups they've had you can tell all they have is a reskinned version (via local CSS) of the normal superchat feed any user has.

Youtube streamer tools do indeed suck. YT definitely does not provide anything worth 30% of your superchat bucks except for "is Youtube." Alas, that's enough apparently.

(Twitch sucks too, just differently.)

"Idol culture" is such a bullshit phrase that's soaked in "those crazy Japanese want their pure virgin maidens on stage" as if all idol fans are part of this unchanging fringe society built on the backs on AKB48 super otaku. A top idol group in Japan right now has a member who is currently pregnant and has to sit out heavier performances, and the fanbase has been nothing short of super supportive of her and her relationship.

Okay, cool, idol culture is actually great and nice and free of bullshit. So why did Towa eat a suspension for having the audacity to allow a male relative's voice on her stream then?

There can be a number of technicalities when it comes to this stuff, like things that technically sound better or capture a recording with higher fidelity, but IMO if it makes the performer even a little less comfortable then it’s not worth it. The gear and recording techniques should always be second place to the performance IMO.
I'd be interested in hearing about them, are those the kind that make you sore in the solarplexus? I done those before and its just me building a voice model so the goal is to speak for hours at a time. See fried vocals here would mean not being acknowledged by the voiceprint recognizer, its a slightly different meaning.

In the earlier Pekora collabs she was still pretty stiff and formal but in the last four or so months she's exposed herself as being an almost Ame and Gura level of Gremlin, especially now that she's comfortable laughing more often on stream and has one of the most adorably dorky laughs in all of Hololive.

Because her company is garbage and arbitrary? I don't recall Gura facing any consequences when her fanbase harassed Iofi, so the feelings and actions of Hololive fans don't amount to a drat thing.
