Wishing all the best to the best Kettle there ever was. I’ll admit I haven’t followed her as much since she got in VShojo, but she’s still the one who got me into the rabbit hole so she’ll always have a special place in my heart.

Does she not have to do a Gura / Saba shuffle? That's convenient.
VShojo doesn't own any of their former content creators IP. Once you go, it's all yours to keep. It's a part of what made them attractive as a corporate entity, especially to indies looking for a boost.
WIth such a business model, when kson joined, I wondered how vsj would keep themselves afloat. it's not like they're phase connect, a coffee selling company which happens to have vtubers. vsj doesn't have a staple product they can sell for high margin.
well, the answer to my question is apparently they don't. what a massive fuck up.
Being a sort of small-fry incubator could work out, so long as they're doing very little of the work. But the incentives there point toward charging wannabes for help and exposure, rather than seeking and paying for promising talent. Like a vanity publisher for Twitch streamers.
Maybe they should vertically integrate some merch production.
edit: Nevermind, they're fucked. They haven't been paying people for months.
