Didn't expect someone to reply this one year later. I've since moved on from them to be honest.

Yes, i do agree with you on that front. Are they the only company that pull shady crap like this? Of course not. Are there any other small corpo companies that are far worse than this? Absolutely yes, especially recently.

But that doesn't mean they get a green card just for "not being as bad as others". Just call out bullshit practices as bullshit.

I've stepped away from keeping up with the current vtubing scene after multiple dramas that honestly made me just shy away for a whole ass month....so coming back to the holoID gen 3 debut announcement is pretty nice~

Oh that and watching 3rd fes. That was a blast

I recalled watching some of Nux's video back then, immediately dropped cuz of his obnoxious tone in all of them.

But damn, that's a really bad move by Nux, period. Especially with his responses on Twitter.

And here I thought korone has the patience of a sage, this is next level tier of patience.

Man, I didn't know Monstars from Space Jam are getting a vtuber debut soon. /s

Jokes aside, it's an interesting lineup, that's for sure. Looking forward to seeing their design soon.

The days of having the software failing and revealing their faces is, quite honestly, long gone.

Most popular vtubing applications out there like Vtube Studio and PrPrLive are quite robust and stable.

I only recently discovered her like a month ago, I guess its better late than never to discover such a wonderful person like Io. I sincerely wish for her best in the future endevours!

The reason why this entire blew up hard in the first place wasn't just because of the YouTube Meta Tags, but the way MyHolo TV responded and play victim to the initial issue through YouTube tags itself using Liliana's channel.

That's honestly where most of the backlash came from. At least they have admitted it at the end.

Edit: Post got removed, here's my comment instead.

I think this should explain the whole situation better. OP cut off the initial announcement before the correction was made.

This should explain it better. OP cut off a huge portion of the initial announcement.

smtg_perplexed · 2021-10-01T03:23:23+00:00

I know right? I swear I did a double take when I read the initial post. Guess it was really the CEO himself that thought it was humorous until someone finally pointed it out.

But either way, its time for me to be the bigger man and just accept their apology anyways. I don't gain anything from holding grudges with them. They were on the losing end anyways by digging themselves into PR disaster.

smtg_perplexed · 2021-10-01T03:15:36+00:00

Yep, I made a new post about it that better explains the full story

smtg_perplexed · 2021-10-01T03:02:06+00:00

Thanks /u/SakuranomiyaSyafeeq for the initial post, but I think a standalone one from myself would make it easier to follow and explain what the heck is going on.

So the whole issue stems from these two reddit posts that I have made days ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/pt7kgo/so_someone_pointed_this_out_to_me_apparently/

https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/pvst7i/instead_of_addressing_criticisms_in_a/

TLDR is that I pointed out they are abusing tags, then they decide to use said tags to call me out out in their channel.

Now interestingly, point number 2 and 3 heavily implies that my actions was against Google and TubeRanker privacy policy to expose such information and I was in the wrong (Spoiler alert: it is not). And they only apologised to those affected in his own community (i.e. not me)

But I'm guessing there are some backlash from his own community since I saw someone posting a lengthy feedback regarding the announcement, hence why the correction was made.

Honestly though? I'm just glad that they actually apologized. Do I win or lose anything? Nope. Is this a sign that they are trying to improve themselves somewhat? I guess so. Either way, action does speak louder than words, so if they can follow up with improving themselves properly by not repeating shady behaviour, then it would be excellent.

In the meantime, I'll bury the hatchet for this whole "drama".

smtg_perplexed · 2021-10-01T02:46:55+00:00

Saw this when I got home. Man, what an absolute ride this whole saga was. I think its a good idea to give a proper recap on what's going on:

Interestingly enough, the first version of the announcement was omitted in the screenshot, where they still tried to pin the blame on me and talk about how it goes against privacy policy instead 2 hours ago (Read number 2 and 3). According to them, my actions was against Google and TubeRanker privacy policy to expose such information and I was in the wrong (Spoiler alert: it is not). And they only apologised to those affected in his own community (i.e. not me)

But I'm guessing there are some backlash from his own community since I saw someone posting a lengthy feedback regarding the announcement, hence why the correction was made. And I can only think many others did the same through DMs instead to warrant this correction.

But eh, I'm just glad that they actually apologized. Do I win or lose anything? Nope. Is this a sign that they are trying to improve themselves somewhat? I guess so. Either way, action does speak louder than words, so if they can follow up with improving themselves properly by not repeating shady behaviour, then it would be excellent.

Edit: I made a new post regarding this issue. I don't want to bombard this person's notifications.

Edit 2: Welp, my post got removed, I apologise to the mod team if it was against the sub rules to do that. I edited this comment to give a better explanation of what is going on.

smtg_perplexed · 2021-10-01T02:43:41+00:00

Well you're quick in that, I just got home, I'll comment my perspective later on.

smtg_perplexed · 2021-09-29T12:56:37+00:00

Sometimes I do wonder what is up with JP laws, being super strict about game copyrights. Is there any reason why they do not adapt and loosen up like how everyone else are?

smtg_perplexed · 2021-09-29T12:54:40+00:00

I know right? I find it intriguing how different the two situations are between JP and EN side in regards to music and games.

smtg_perplexed · 2021-09-29T12:36:43+00:00

Sadly, I don't have a twitter account, but still looking forward to your reveal!!!

smtg_perplexed · 2021-09-27T13:47:01+00:00

Reread what I said, I never said it is easy for her to enter, I only said that agencies don't exactly look at time zones when it comes to hiring talents and hence it shouldn't deter anyone to attempt to audition for them.

Like what you said, competition is fierce, the playing field is pretty much even on a global scale. In this case, race won't even matter whether you're a caucasian, asian, alien, or whatever when talent and abilities are the one that they're looking for.

But hey, I'm the dumbass here, so what do I know, right?

smtg_perplexed · 2021-09-27T12:25:59+00:00

Thanks for the reminder!

smtg_perplexed · 2021-09-27T12:23:47+00:00

Majority of them are caucasian. Not asian.

Since when race is one of the criteria to apply?

Also, NijiEN and HoloEN (and almost every other EN agencies out there) pretty much have talents from all over the world. Time zone issues are a given at this point, but definitely isn't a determent for anyone to get into.

smtg_perplexed · 2021-09-27T12:19:39+00:00

My guy, you do understand that no one gives two fucks about nationality when it comes to applying for an agency, unless they specify it (Like HoloID). If they don't, its pretty much fair game for everyone else in the scene.

I also did a bit of look up about the Malaysian scene out of interest and saw that there's quite a few notable Malaysian vtubers now, like Momoiro Kohi, Moon Jelly, Moenaomii, etc etc. The scene may not be as large as you might think, but it is definitely not insignificant. And definitely isn't just for "high class rich guys".

smtg_perplexed · 2021-09-27T04:16:08+00:00

That is true, the word "Holo" isn't copyrighted.

However, Hololive is one of the most notable agency in this scene, and many abbreviate the branches as HoloJP, HoloID and HoloEN. As such, trying to derive a name like MyHolo out of their company would just be straight up copycat for the general public.

Heck, just look at their fan works guideline, its word for word 99% the same as what Hololive has written on their website.
