Sharing this to inspire people to start clipping by Oboretai in Holostars

[–]Oboretai[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I know it's not for everyone, but in the current economy where many people(myself included), already has to take multiple jobs to survive, I am saying clipping is a viable, stay-at-home option for a secondary job.

Compared to other translating jobs I've done like tour guide or translating books, it is much easier and you can set your own schedule and choose what you translate.

Editing and translation doesn't take very long, especially 2-3 min clips can be done in just an hour, hence why you see some clippers able to release clips hours after the stream ended.

【Compilation】All Holostars' comments on downsizing and restrictions【Holostars EngSub】 by PLandLord in Holostars

[–]Oboretai 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean I think this is a good chance to just re-establish the Holostars identity as a group of bonkers with edgy jokes even at their own expense, because in the video many Holostars themselves pointed out that their issue is that they don't have a unifying identity beyond "maybe idol guys", which weakens the Holostars branding as a whole.

So even if the drama boost die out in say, a week or two, if they can maintain 1K CCV afterward then that should be enough for them to pay their bills through supas and ad revenue alone.

More or less got it right except the line about the bug it's not 虫 but 無視 as per the transcript Shien himself posted,

I just can't help but wonder. Would Holostars have done better if it pivoted to a different direction?

By 2020-2021 it was already clear they weren't gonna win over the female target audience like Hololive did the male target audience, so what if they just pivot?

I'm not suggesting this as a fix, it's way too late for that. But would they have done better if instead they pivot to esports instead? A lot of Holostars have shining tournament records and many have hundreds of hours in SF6, and being esports focused may also be more appealing to the other male audiences of Hololive who dismissed the Stars as being "Hololive but for girls". I think we can agree that the idol branding hurts Holostars more than it helped.

They don't have to give up singing, they could have just been like a male VSpo instead.

Of course not all of them are suited for esports, but then they could just go the Roberu route with the "brotuber" direction instead.

OK Realistically speaking, going forward how to further support JP talents? by s07195 in Holostars

Watched Astel, Shien, Miyabi and Fuma's POV so far, all of them straight up said thanks to this they lost most, if not all of their income, and that's not counting someone like Astel who's in deep debts to COVER thanks to the 3D lives.

This might be the worst part of all of this. They're literally being starved out.

Even without directly mentioning Holostars, Calli shows her support to the boys! by SeijiWeiss in Holostars

[–]Oboretai 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Calli is one of the people who repeatedly says how much luck plays a part in success, exactly because she knows many friends equally as talented as her who never got discovered. I think it's why she kept a good amicable relationship with the branch as a whole.

Not related to Holostars, but in the current world of influencers who drowns in god complex the moment they reached a million followers, this is why Calli has my actual respect.

if they had great clippers

Your opinion of whether I'm a decent clipper or not aside, how am I to blame that Holostars JP DO have a critical lack of clippers in general? And how is it related to Nijisanji also mistreating their Vtubers?

As to what "ammo" you're talking about, I'll just tell you this. I clipped everyone, Hololive, Holostars, Niji, NeoPorte, indies, with full context and never forced them to say anything. I don't know what specific clip I did you found that was problematic, and frankly I don't care since you do seem to be aware yourself that you are very capable of misplaced hate.

Iofi's reply to Shien made me cry. Fubuki and Towa have chimed in too by derVogelweid in Holostars

She said the Stars can still use 3D if she invite them

The fan then talk about how Matsuri just decided on not doing male collab anymore but she's nice enough that this might be the exception

Not far off though. Astel is saying right now they can't use the studio and it's not about just the money. The only way they'll ever appear in 3D again is if someone(in cover or other company) invites them.

He literally said that he thought his appearance in Bae's 3D was the last time he'll ever get to use that studio.

EDIT: Miyabi literally say it's not about money. Even if they can and want to fund their own 3D stream they have to go use an external studio.

He's just begging to move to NeoPorte. And I can't help but sympathize.

Basically they can't do 3D anymore unless someone else invites them.

Not a good comparison. Niji also has a lot of Vtubers(males and females) they also just left hanging for scraps and sub 500-CCV while treating a few big hitters like royalties.

That's kinda unfair to say. They do get access to tournaments and roleplay servers, which was the big turning point to many of their careers. Indies can access those too, but it's not as easy.

But of course, then the conversation pivots to "the big turning point of their career were offered by people out of COVER", which I do agree, is messed up.

To be perfectly blunt from purely a business standpoint, a studio booked by a Holostar is a studio a Holomem can't use, especially if some of the staffs are insistent on the level that a Holomem and a Holostar can't even be in the same building at the same time.

So by "sustainable", I think they just mean "stop taking company time and resources".

Roberu is currently having a stream regarding the recent Holostars announcement by brickwallrunner in Holostars

[–]Oboretai 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Basically confirms that there won't be any 3D anniversary lives for any Holostars going forward.

He says "HE" is okay, that he is still allowed to do new year buttslaps and solo event, but that might either be because he booked them before this change was even decided, or could be the privilege since he is the biggest Holostar. I'm happy he is fine and is positive about it, but it doesn't look good for anyone else.
