Some “fan” will try to become the king of the hill.
Yeah, I can see that happening unfortunately. My cynical mind says they would probably do better than the average shareholder, but I wouldn’t put my money on it.
Honestly, if Hololive nose dives, the talents have plenty of examples to follow on restarting their careers as indies or corpos. I think that’s going to be the real legacy of Coco. Before her, no one knew if the fans would follow.
We had a small taste with Delutaya but yeah, Kson really paved the way with that. Looking at the bright side though, the fact that 3+ years later so many old talents still choose to stay in holo shows they can’t be doing that badly, at least on the JP side. We’ll see if Doki proving how well that can go on the EN side will cause an uptick in Holo graduations like it happened with Niji, hopefully not because that would be a very red flag about the EN management.
Holo and Niji are still very different beasts. Everyone leaving Holo are still doing it on professional terms. No one’s reported abuse, favoritism, or pay being withheld. No one’s ended up in a hospital. No talents have dogpiled on anyone leaving. We also had two graduation notices within two days, so there’s no enforced queue, although I wouldn’t be surprised if the talents are choosing to soften the blow by spacing things out voluntarily.

Well, iirc that was the situation for Niji as well up to Zaion’s termination… and then in less than a year everything came crumbling down, revealing things were going terribly even before then.
Now I wholeheartedly hope that’s not the case in Holo, but we can never know for sure. Though yeah, before any of that gets public it’s no use being paranoid. Let’s just see what the future brings.
