As a reminder it's not uncommon for Nintendo Directs to have different or reordered content per region (ie. the Japanese Direct will probably show games coming out exclusively in Japan or with primarily JP audience and likewise for the English Direct) so keep that in mind when deciding whose simulwatch you want to watch along with.

~4.5 months later, Space Luna has hit her first goal. Now for the freakin' 4000 hours requirement.




Fun fact: If you private or delete a video, you lose all watch hours associated with it. They no longer count for the purposes of Youtube Partner Program. Editing a video in the Youtube Editor anywhere other than at the start or end of the clip makes it count as a new video, too (it deletes the old version and uploads a clipped version in its place). I found this out after realizing she was missing around 600 hours of watch-time that ought to have been there. :( Every time she or a collab guest have doxxed themselves, every time I've clipped a section out of a karaoke stream because of a copyright claim, etc, all of those streams lost all view hours. :(

I'm not sure if you meant this as a joke, but it is something to consider - especially streamers attached to corporations. I'd suggest anyone with interest and a few bucks to spare to go and check the last two membership-only chat streams Coco did (the second one was today).

She goes as far as she can (within the confines of her NDA) to illustrate the inner workings of being a content creator for Hololive, the way new content is vetted, and how, ultimately, she wasn't willing/able to try to make it work anymore (at her own express request, I won't go into details). The local live translator was there, and he made sure to be very thorough.

Not to start drama or anything because these streams have made it perfectly clear that this was Coco's own decision to prioritize her creative freedom and she doesn't hold any grudges, but it does paint a clearer picture of the (added) constraints that come with being an agency-affiliated streamer.

I was serious. As dumb as this sounds, I'm really not sure how else to put it: online personality/streamer seems like such a brutal career choice, with or without corporate involvement.

It's not a ton of wiggle room, but I don't feel like streamers have even that. Day in, day out, you've gotta deliver. It's a beating.

Then you'll have no issue coughing up those 5 bucks. When a streamer outright tells in no uncertain terms to keep this touchy subject limited to members-only, I'm not going behind his or her back.

Coco wasn't even supposed to tell as much as she did, but she wanted to give her fans some semblance of clarity. At the very least I'll answer that by doing as she requested.

It's a big enough deal that people leaked clips/convos from Matsuri's last member stream that she won't be doing them for the foreseeable future.

We don't even know, the permissions on what they can or cannot say may be different behind the member paywall, and if the streamer asks not to spread it around it's at the minimum a common courtesy to fulfill the request.

The pressure isn't even directly from the fans themselves. Twitch, YouTube and most other streaming services demand almost daily content to feed into their algorithm to keep people engaged and coming back to their platforms.

From first-hand experience become a partner on YouTube or Twitch require ungodly amounts of dedication until you can start making money and I'm sure it's pretty much the same if you're working for a company like Cover.

When Coco graduates, she can do Kson stuff as she pleases and doesn't need to do daily/weekly stuff because she's already successful, but eventually she'll be at the mercy of the YouTube algorithm because she's not streaming/uploading daily or using the right thumbnails so her growth is going to stagnate and her stuff isn't pushed out on the YouTube recommendations anymore

Oh sure! No doubt. Really I think the biggest difference is that your workspace is typically one room away. Pro: no commute! Con: work is always right there waiting for you.

I'll need to check out the one today when I have time. I would also imagine that there's added confines since Cover is a Japanese company and that puts additional hoops in place. That combined with a strong, but understandable shift to, risk avoidance must feel like the walls are closing around.

I think it depends. I know a lot of games steamers that absolutely treat it like a job. They play game, interact with chat when they feel like it, play set hours 5 days a week or whatever.

They’re likely attracted to entertaining on a personal level like every streamer but they do a lot to mitigate that lack of routine which I think can be very hard on people.

This is pretty in-line with how Coco has always been. There is some clip over a year old that exists where chat and her pontificate about how she gets away with doing Asacoco. And someone mentioned that Cover might think she'll quit if they don't let her. And she was like, "You might be right."

I don't subscribe to the idea that she was explicitly targeted by corporate and pushed out. The heightened oversight by management didn't happen in a vacuum. Other Vtuber companies have weathered far less than Hololive and come out completely destroyed. But Coco leaving seems to be a very natural consequence of how they currently do business.
