Same when it comes to the good times.
I think we'll be here for a damn long time, still. I don't think the end or decline is near, at least.
Keep the flame alive, anons. Keep the flame alive.

newfags need to learn

Reading through what's already published of the interview in Forbes JP, yeah, not too much that would be interesting to the average person here. Just business discussion and explaining things like how Yagoo thinks its a lost art in the Entrepreneurial marketplace that you have to make a company that profits off the bat instead of relying on some fucked up economy of scale to eventually deliver profits (he's right, 95% of startups have completely forgotten that they're supposed to be creating profits in a sustainable fashion, they all just float off the initial Venture funds until they go bankrupt or secure more loans).
When they ask him about how he manages to succeed as a revenue generator where so many other startups fail, he said something that genuinely got a chuckle out of me because of how absurd it was that he even needed to say it:
>Our current business model is a simple one: we provide VTuber content and ask people to pay for it or buy goods.
Genuinely baffling how little the idea of "create a product that you can charge money for" is remembered in investing circles. They're all so obsessed with economies of scale and subsistence industries that rely on Venture Funding without turning a profit to even remember that you can just sell a product and people will usually buy it. But aside from that, nothing on Cover or the internals, so sorry about not getting a good harvest for this thread specifically.
Side-note, when I went to do some backup research on some of the companies he mentioned, like when Yagoo said he was the reason there was a VR focused investment fund in Japan because he convinced the head of a company called "gumi" to start one, the fact that they didn't capitalize their name threw me off. So the only name I was seeing was the Yamacuchi-gumi, aka the largest Yakuza syndicate in Japan. Around the time of Yagoo's story, 2015, a group in the Yamaguchi-gumi called the "Kyoyu-Kai" helped bring about a split between them and a new group, the Kobe-Yamaguchi-gumi, and for a hot minute I misread the Kyoyu-Kai as the Kiryu-Kai and started getting worried. But no, as far as I can tell, Cover has no connections to the Yamaguchi-gumi in any way, it's just a phone game creator called gumi who wanted to be fancy and give themselves an all-lowercase name.
