Recommendations from existing chuubas are highly valued by Cover. FYI in gen2 Ollie was spotted in Bae's past life too and followed her on twitter IIRC - probably that was a rec from the zoombie shitter. I don't think they were IRL friends close but it feels like she didn't and still doesn't really stand out as a bombastic talent, but, Ollie's rec tipped the scales. It makes sense seeing how Bae is in some ways like Ollie (but better than her actually in terms of being less desperate for attention). As to how close Ina/Sana are I dunno but I think they were more of internet friends/steam buddy type close who may have a handful of times run into each other IRL at cons etc, than like they actually lived with each other close (like Millie/Enna did for NijiEN).

Whether this practice is actually a scientific/sociologically proven sound method to do things is another question. I mean, Holo Gamers were Fubuki's friends basically and Korone is one of those along with Okayu/Mio. I think an argument is to be made that someone you're already very comfortable with socially is going to be a much better collab partner and will probably more quickly integrate into a true buddy-buddy fashion with the rest of the Holos having someone help break the ice for them. Entertainment/showbiz industry just kind of works like this. There is also the unknown factor however of "will this friend of friend actually grow to like or care about anyone else in the company besides her existing friend" and you can see this in how some Holos' trajectories played out.

Ollie follows hundreds of vtubers and interacts with about half of those. She already followed all those 2-views that debuted for Prism last night. Being in one or two of Bae's old streams doesn't mean "they totally know each other and Ollie got her in." Ollie has no pull within the company, outside of the ID branch, it's unlikely she was consulted in any way nor even knew who the applicants were until they were revealed internally a little while before the real debuts.

Yeah they seem pretty unrelated. Kronii wanted to be a seiyuu and did have a brief vtuber stint before this, but I never recall any trace of something actually-relevant to Ina being demonstrated. Sounds like something that would have been noticed in debut week or even pre-debut. Sana was figured out 100% from pre-debut.

Basically if Kronii could draw very well or if she played FFXIV maybe that'd sound plausibly within Ina's sphere but no I think she was just some random girl.

Neither Gura nor Ina do much of anything behind the scenes. I guarantee you they consider Calli the most valuable on account of having the second largest audience, the most successful music, a lot of superchat revenue, and a decent amount of work behind the scenes.

"Bait aside," there is not a chance in hell that Ina is anything but the least valuable in Myth. That's why this whole idea that people are getting hired for knowing her is ridiculous.

>> No.13030502

>>13030263
I feel like Kiar is trying to vie for more of a leader-like role in organizing big collabs, putting out songs, her little animal shorts trying to set a trend etc. She also streams like a complete beast and puts everyone else in EN to fucking shame at the end of the day. I would say she is definitely the most important socially for EN as the only one who is actually really-comfortable interfacing freely with HoloJP, Ina can kind of do it but seems 10x less confident.

Ame however seemed tapped in two ways to be considered this - she is the only human character in Myth making her the standout, she is not a monster girl but is investigating all the other ones aka is tying all the other girls together herself. She is also more tech savvy than most of them it appears and can be an actual background support when needed. The smol 3Ds the Myths have (and then the wacky deformed Councils) happened explicitly because Ame. It's not like she sat there in blender making everything by hand but still she was the organizer/producer for it and EN is a lot better off for it.

What "behind the scenes support" from Ina?

The only thing she actually materially contributed to Hololive is some drawings every now and then, so Cover saves a few bucks on commissions, but it's not like they couldn't substitute that with the dozens of fanarts of similar quality that Hologirls get for free every day, if they wanted to.

The one who actually does most of the behind the scenes support is Ame, who comes up with new ideas while the other ones are mostly just passive passengers and don't do anything original, and Ame does a lot of the technical and organizational work. Meanwhile, Ina for example does [what exactly???], but of course, she's the producer's little favorite for some reason and gets to influence the application process, while Ame gets fuckall for her efforts

When were any of them helpful during collabs? Truth of the matter is besides Ame nobody in Myth needs to do anything other than what they're currently doing. Gura is a good singer and entertainer, Mori does the music, Ina does the drawing, Kiara does the GFE, so what exactly is left for Ame? She can't do any of those things so all is left for her to do is the "creative" streams and the organizational work.

I agree, being entertaining is most of if not all of it, the rest is just fluff (Pekora and Kuzuha are great examples of that, they do sing and stuff but they're mainly watched for their entertainment value, same thing for Gura who's still a great singer but doesn't do Karaoke streams that often). Thing is, Ame is in the lower bracket of Myth when it comes to viewership, so it seems that even being entertaining isn't really her strong point. She'd be a lot better at being a manager.

Even that's mostly not accurate. The only nepotism hire was Korone, who more than earned her place since then. Mio auditioned and got accepted on her own first, Fubuki just suggested Gamers because she missed the cutoff for Gen 2 and would have had to sit around waiting for the next generation otherwise.
And then they recruited Okayu and Korone, but Okayu still went through an audition anyway.

It's still accurate. Mio seems to have gone through the process normally, but got preferential treatment because Fubuki knew she would work well with her, and that was the goal. Okayu doesn't seem to have applied at all, and went straight to an audition because Fubuki scouted her. Again, preferential treatment to meet the goal of building a team around Fubuki. And Korone skipped auditioning entirely because Fubuki liked Okayu enough to give preferential treatment to a friend who came strongly recommended and showed potential.

It's not like they were all just hired on the spot for knowing Fubuki. But the process was unusual for all three, and none of them were hired purely based on merit, because the explicit goal was a Fubuki generation.

>must be qualified enough performer
>must have established audience
>must be positive about internal comms and collabs
>past activities preferably in 2D/gaming community
this already cuts hiring range so thin, you are basically stuck with talent pool of past colleagues/collaborators. And no, new kid on the block is not gonna cut it, cause experience is the king in this field, unless new kid is borderline god given entertainer, and even so, risks are just too high.

Twitch is bigger than post 2016 LSF shenanigans with redemption arks with doctor k, what im describing are common enough types of streams on twitch, that people recognizing them as a certain form of popular meta characters. Your biggest point is ame playing by the book twitch meta with little distance between her and viewers to bait engagement and clips, yet you are forgetting that the whole point of chubas is making a character to build some distance and lend the talent more space to be comfortable and play their audience. And "streamer archetypes" or "female nerd archetypes" doesn't really cut it cause western streamers are very much different from their asian colleagues due to very different cultural background.

Obvious connections to Sana, being both artists and close friends in PL. At this point is not even a rrat if not highly implied, even if some Takopiums say it was recommendation and not cronyism at all. It's pretty funny because Sana won't make art for Cover or draw in stream, and took a very long vacations (Her dog died, it's sad but I'm pretty sure she wasn't crying the whole time).

>Mio and Okayu did not
Mio did not, which is why she had to take an audition to get in. Okayu wasn't necessarily a vtuber (don't remember and don't care) but she was a proven streamer and entertainer. Sana and Kronii (or really, anyone in Council) clearly didn't. The auditions for Council were smoke and mirrors.
